Sama Street

Omg the food here is SO good. Best chicken satay I had! The prawn curry was heavenly and they also separated the head of the shrimp but keep it on the play as part of presentation or if u wish to eat. The curry wasn't spicy at all. The sauce was creamy and packed with flavor. The octopus was perfectly cooked and had a beautiful twist to it that went with culinary fusion the restaurant brings. It's small and sexy inside! Intimate and perfect for dates too. Staff and owner are incredible, I loved that the owner took time to talk to us about the menu and also got to know us. Best of luck Sama on your new location coming soon to HK!!!

This is a hip, "thai fusion" ambiance restaurant.They have a lot of good, authentic thai food and at the bar, they make a great tasting traditional "old fashion"Great food and great service. I go there regularly for both dine-in and takeout

Really loved this cute bar in Greenpoint! Dark, vibey atmosphere inside with Asian-inspired drinks. We walked in on a Friday night and it was surpisingly empty so it was more quiet and intimate, which I enjoyed. The waiter was very patient and helped us choose the best cocktails for our preferences. My favorites we got were the:Elvis Impersonator: gin with shiso and cantaloupe, which went super well together, and the cantaloupe flavor was strong in a good way, seasonal menu drinkMajor Tom: more savory with lemongrass & fish sauce, went really well together and super easy to drinkShanghai Buck: wintermelon was very strong in a good wayDefinitely want to come back and try the whole menu because everything looked so good!

Sama Street is a neighborhood gem! The pork pancake is a standout--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The masala fries are packed with spice and crunch, making them seriously addictive. The ribs are tender and juicy, with a flavorful glaze. Their happy hour is one of the best around, with great deals on expertly crafted cocktails that pair perfectly with their dishes. Definitely a must-visit!

Love this place! Drinks and food have an Asian twist and are terrific. The current seasonal cocktail menu is so fun - think shiso, plum, calpico, mango, scallion, sesame, and other less conventional ingredients.On my last visit, we tried the Guava Cake and Rice Rice Baby seasonal cocktails. Both were amazing; if you like sweet drinks then Guava Cake is for you. The Rice Rice Baby had sesame running through which I enjoyed. On my past visit, I had the Shanghai Buck which is perfect for any winter melon fans. The food also didn't disappoint: the Chicken Satay skewers were juicy and flavorful, the Steak Salad was spicy and refreshing, and the Flat Noodles were a good classic (although you could probably skip that for something more interesting).The place is quite spacious and offers lounge seating, communal tables, and bar seating, including at the window. Service was great; everything came out fast and our server checked in frequently. Total cost came out to slightly above $40pp pre-tax/tip. 100% returning - everything here is on point.

I passed by this cutesy bar on my way to the club. The bar was dimly lit and the staff were attending to guests. Wait time was ok given that I was at the bar and it wasn't very busy. Once I was served, I ordered a couple of skinny margaritas and had an order of steak satay and montou and gravy. Both were packed with flavor and filled me up enough to continue my night. I recommend this spot for anyone looking for a light dinner, cute date night or even a solo date to wine down after a busy day! I'd definitely pass by again when I'm in the city.

Probably the best bar/lounge in Greenpoint. The ambiance has an air of mystery, with a dimly lit dining area and a bar area with Thai decor and swag. The menu is modern Thai fusion, with small tapas style plates and tons of flavor. The bartending was top notch, as the drink recipes have strong flavors but are still smooth and drinkable. The waiters are attentive without being on top of you. I can't recommend a bar in the area with more gusto than Sama street! Food: 5/5Drinks: 5/5Value: 4/5Ambiance: 5/5

Aesthetically pleasing. Dim lit and vibey music. Came here on a Saturday night without a reservation and got seated promptly. Came to try one of their unique cocktails. I got the Shanghai Buck and my friend got the Eastern Medicine. Both were great! The Shanghai Buck was very refreshing. Eastern Medicine was a very smooth old fashioned with spices. Didn't taste like a regular old fashioned. We ended up getting food and ordered chicken and lamb skewers and fries. All were great. The lamb skewers were well seasoned. The fries were seasoned and had an amazing sweet and sour sauce. Would definitely one back! A nice space to host an event.Service was amazing! Very attentive!

As part of our self-led bar crawl, my group of friends and I went on a long meandering walk from Williamsburg deep into Greenpoint for Sama Street. Without a reservation at 9:40 pm on a Saturday, the only seating options for my group of 5 were 3 seats at the bar and the rest standing. Luckily, even though there was a reservation at the 2-seater table against the window, they never came, so we got to enjoy our time somewhat facing each other for a good hour.Rice, Rice Baby ($18) - my favorite drink out of the 4 I tried! It was complex and delicious, while not ridding the taste of alcohol altogether.Tiger's Milk ($18) - I liked how much foam the egg added, and the flavors were well-balanced. Sadly, it lacked the condensed milk viscosity and taste listed in its ingredients, ultimately not distinguishing it from other espresso martinis.Yuzu Mai Tai ($22) - this drink arrived in a larger vessel but was mostly ice, therefore not containing much actual drink. My friend loved how the yuzu complemented the liquor well and how they leaned into the rum flavor.Ice Cream Social ($18) - it was fine but nothing memorable. My friend said it felt like they were trying to recreate a popsicle flavor and tasted like generic sherbet.What I have a gripe with is how our bill was rang up. One friend showed up a little later, which is why we were automatically charged 20% gratuity, but given that we didn't have a proper table and not even enough seats for all 6 people, it doesn't feel warranted. Additionally, the tax was calculated atop the post-tip subtotal, resulting in a 10.6% tax rate in effect...

Sama Street is an intimate space with a dark interior and atmospheric music.They specialize in Asian-inspired cocktails and Tapas, both of which are high-quality (though similarly highly priced to match)A sleeper favorite of the group was the mantou and gravy. I'd highly recommend ordering it, plus some extra mantou to finish off the gravy. The chicken was also quite interesting -- it had a unique (white peppercorn I think) breading and a great sauce to pair with it.Sama Street is a great place and I'd definitely come again for a date night!
