Julie Shih – DD Mau
On this week’s episode of The Sauce podcast, we’re chatting with Julie Shih, owner of DD Mau Vietnamese Eatery, which has locations in Webster Groves and Maryland Heights.
We learn about how the restaurant got its start in 2018 and how she’s built a loyal following through fresh ingredients, plenty of customization and unexpected fan favorites like the roti shell tacos featured in the August issue of Sauce Magazine and some of the crunchiest wings in town. From signature banh mi to house-made desserts and a variety of fun drinks, Shih walks us through what makes DD Mau such a standout on the St. Louis dining scene. We’ll also delve into the exciting news about their upcoming relocation to a larger Webster Groves space later this fall.
