    So love the vibe of this place. I live sitting at the bar because the bartenders are so nice. This time we got a table. I am a little bummed that they keep taking away my favorite drink. First it was the Lychee one, then Tom Tom 2.0, now the Cheesus Crust....not taken away, but batch made with Gin, I usually sub vodka as I can't stand Gin. The food was delicious as always. Service great.

    Unique flavors. Friendly service, you could tell everyone really loved the food and drinks they were serving. And they were putting effort into making things unique and delicious.

    I thought there was a larger menu. I guess that’s on me. Food was good but expensive and didn’t realize no happy hour during the week. Again on me. Small portions. Delicious but small. Drinks were great

    We ate at Same Same based on some reviews that I read, and we are SO glad we did! The food was incredible, and our server SeaBass was awesome. My husband could not get enough of the short ribs. He said the flavor was so good, and he can't wait to return to eat them again soon. We both enjoyed the wonton samosas, and the Panang tofu curry. Next time, we'll try the chicken wings, quinoa gem salad, the Khao Soi...and of course the short ribs as well.

    It’s bar with restaurant food (not a restaurant with a bar). Drinks were good but food selection was limited. They offer mostly appetizers and small plates. But atmosphere and service were good.

    Only 3 entrees on the menu. Food was overall good but very limited options. Good for a bar scene - not really a restaurant.

    Limited menu which is a good thing so you don’t have to think too hard. All the dishes were high quality and maintained authentic flavors for new takes on classic Asian dishes. Cocktails were thoughtful and tasty. It can be a very loud place on a Saturday night, so you may enjoy the energy but it may be too much for others.
