Same Same

I wasn't impressed. I ordered the Phat Khee Mao, noodle basil dish. Pros:* Hip, cute place* Great vibe* Nice outdoor seating in front and back.* Dish was visually appealing.Cons:* Meal price had a $4 upcharge to add chicken. You would think there would be a choice of meat with the base pricing. * I ordered Hot and it came out as one of the most mild dishes I have ever had.* One of our party ordered a vodka gimlit and had to show the person a picture and description while at the bar. They ordered a SECOND one, and it came out as kind of like a gin martinini without any lime.... they even got the wrong alcohol. Wasn't in the same glass either (and wasn't in a martini glass).* The flavor was meh... super boring, a bit more on the soy sauce side... not enough sweet, basil, no chili, coul use more of all the flavors.* Chicken was spongy texture which I don't like.* Service was slow, took a long time to get a table for 4 (like 30+ minutes) but there were several 2 tops available.Overall the vibe and presentation was good and this place seems hip and cool. The food could use a lot more flavor and a lot more spice. I was expecting a much more authentic experience too from the decor and branding on the menus. I would say just go for drinks only, but I can't even say that as you never know what you will get.I would go with 2 stars, but I am not mean and I am sure they can do a little better on a different night or with different staff.

Generally, fine, but nothing to write home about. I visited on a Saturday afternoon, and the restaurant offers a relaxed vibe, which is nice. Seats were comfortable inside, and they offer outdoor seating. Service was good and attentive as well. As for the food - I like everything but my entree. I ordered 2 shrimp spring rolls, the lunch phat see ew, and a Thai iced tea. The rolls were crunchy and had a large amount of shrimp in it, which was nice. The Thai iced tea is really good as well; it tastes how you'd think such would taste. The Phat See Ew was the most disappointing for me, as it didn't really have any flavor in it. If I do go back, I'll order something else.

Same Same is one of my favorite Thai Restaurants in the city! I think that their dinner is always so great but I recently came for lunch and ordered their chicken dish and got basically the smallest portion imaginable. It was basically like 3 small pieces of hainese chicken! Definitely felt like a bit of a rip off. Their flavors are definitely very strong but so delicious! Service is always good where they are not too intrusive but still stop by to check in on you. I've come here with my toddler before too and they have a nice kids menu!

Food was pretty okay. We sat at the bar and the bartender was pretty cool and attentive. Gave me a new drink when the one I initially got was way too strong. We got the Thai fried chicken with fries. Fries were amazing, chicken was pretty okay. The pad se ew was also okay. Not the best, but this wasn't a traditional Thai spot so I'm not surprised. I'm not sure if I would be back. The food was just okay.

Came here for lunch, it's a great little thai restaurant that's very cozy. The fries were super well seasoned and came with a really yummy sauce. We got the khao phat (which was my favorite), green curry, and phat kaphrao. All of which were very flavorful and not too spicy for my taste. Everything was incredibly reasonably priced, and definitely worth trying it out.

I expected more from this place with regard to the food. Very cool vibe inside. They have a front patio and a back patio. I preferred the patio because the music inside was super loud. Our server wasn't friendly at all. We ordered the sriracha flavored French fries which were essentially just crinkle cut fries with spicy seasoning dumped on top. For our entrees we had the Phat Thai - not traditional tasting and way too much sauce covering the noodles. We also had the Phat Kee Mao with chicken and that was pretty flavorless as well. Perhaps we ordered wrong? We most likely won't be back.

Delicious and chill weekday lunch, great service. Shared the Hat Yai sandwich w sriracha buffalo sauce and Gaeng Hung Lay, both very flavorful and well-portioned for lunch. A pleasant kick but not spicy. Nice local (and a couple Thai) beer selection too.

First time at Same Same but won't be my lastGreat service and the Phat Kee Mao was delicious Loved their patio as well, ambiance was perfect

The food was good, but we chose to sit in the back patio for a little more relaxed outdoor seating experience (inside the music is a little too loud for me, at least at the time I went 8PM on a Sunday), I don't know if I will go back due to how many rats and mice we saw running around in the back patio and along the fence and under tables. At first I saw 1-2 mice getting some nibbles farther away from me, then I saw 3 congregating under the large table and then a big rat scurrying along the fence. Later one ran across the patio from behind me and they were squeaking and running around the entire time we were there. If I went again I think I would do takeout. The food was good I got the phat Thai and my friend got the fried chicken and both were good and our waitress was very nice and came around the perfect amount of times. The outside is very cute but I just could not get comfortable sitting there not knowing when the mice would run around next. We didn't doubt the cleanliness of the restaurant or the quality of the food but just felt a little uncomfortable eating there and were trying to finish our meals quickly to get out of there.

The food/drinks I got were very good. Service was excellent. The prices may be a tad bit high, but the quality of the food I ate made the price worth paying. I find a lot of Thai restaurants serve noodles with way too much oil and/or "gravy" on their noodles. They will also often over-cook the noodles. Same Same did not do that. Same Same may have been a tad bit heavy with the sauce/seasoning in their Pad Thai for my tastes, but I think that might just be my personal preference. Compared to other Thai places though, they did way better than most Thai restaurants in not using too much gravy, or paste, on the noodle, so I really appreciated that.
