Dee Dee Vegan Thai — Restaurant in Portland

Review: Dee Dee Vegan Thai – A Love Crime Worth Committing

Recently, I made the switch to a temporary vegan diet strictly to lose weight, and let me tell you—finding a satisfying plant-based meal hasn’t been easy. But Dee Dee Vegan Thai? This place changed the game.

I ordered the curry (XXXTRA hot) with fried tofu, rice, and rice pudding, and it was everything. The curry had a rich coconut undertone, smooth yet fiery, the kind of heat that lingers just right. The fried tofu had a perfect crisp, absorbing the sauce like it was made for it. Pouring it all over the rice? Divine.

This restaurant isn’t just serving food—it’s committing a love crime, one plate at a time....

Vegans/vegetarians should be aware that Dee Dee is not a standalone vegan restaurant, it is located within Ladda Thai that serves meat. I was given chicken pot stickers in my Dee Dee Thai order tonight and got home and started eating them before questioning the protein. When I called the restaurant, after some confusion, the staff was apologetic and offered to make me a new order or refund the incorrect item.

It's awesome that you have a separate vegan menu, but please please be careful not to mix up vegan orders with your meat dishes. I saw another review with the same complaint. If you choose to order from here, I recommend checking your food closely before leaving...

Great vegan choices, the restaurant is a shared space with another Thai restaurant. Anything on the non-vegan menu can also be made vegan! Service was amazing, super friendly staff. Vegan food was served in large portions (enough for leftovers!) and tasted great. Get a pineapple drink to help you stay cool.

Edit: Do not order delivery from here, food is maybe not portable/deliverable. Food was undercooked and portions were a lot smaller than dining in the restaurant. Food also had a fish-like smell which scared us a bit due...
