Dodee Paidang, Thai restaurant in Melbourne central business district, Australia
Dodee Paidang is a Thai restaurant located in the basement of Hotel Causeway on Little Collins Street in Melbourne's central business district. The venue serves northeastern Thai specialties to about 150 diners in a single dining space.
The restaurant opened in 2017 as the first Melbourne location of a successful Sydney establishment. It was founded by Somporn Phosri, an entrepreneur originally from Thailand's Isan region in the northeast.
The name refers to a popular noodle soup from northeastern Thailand, and guests can customize their dishes at the table using chilli and fish sauce condiments. This style of personalized seasoning reflects local dining culture and lets every visitor adjust flavors to their preference.
The restaurant is open daily with extended hours on weekends, and guests can make reservations. Diners can adjust the spice level of their food using the condiments provided at each table to suit their taste.
The menu features seven different noodle types with customizable toppings, particularly for the popular tom yum noodle soup. This level of flexibility in building a dish is uncommon at other restaurants in the city.
