Same Same combines some of the best quality Thai food in Los Angeles a cool, casual atmosphere and great service seamlessly. I have tried almost every dish on the menu multiple times, and have never had a meal that was not excellent. Some of the highlights include the Pad Ke Mow, Ribeye and the Penang Curry. The wine selection is also very unique. Finally the staff here is beyond lovely, and make Same Same a pleasure to frequent as neighborhood locals. read more

The name of the restaurant is fitting - "same same" compared to other Thai fusion restaurants. The difference, at least with the dishes we ordered, is definitely the spice level. They ask you what spice level you would like and even if we asked for mild for our dishes there definitely was a kick! I noticed that they had jalapenos or peppers with seeds in both of our dishes, so be wary and take them out if you can't handle the heat! Same same is a cute little restaurant, with a bar and paper umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. You can order at the bar or get seated at a table. We ordered: Kanom Jeeb (Thai Dim Sum): Yum!! I'd order this again. It's essentially a pork and shrimp shumai with their tasty soy garlic dipping sauce. And for the record, this dish was not spicy. Haha Green Curry w/ Chicken (extra $ for proten): Loved the flavor and the generous amounts of veggies and chicken they gave, but as I've mentioned, it was spicy! It was much more enjoyable with rice. Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle): Flat rice noodles with serrano peppers, basil onions and pepper. The beef on this dish was sooo tender. Other than that, it was your typical pad kee mao at any other Thai restaurant. Mango Sticky Rice: My favorite!! Glad that it's in season and that they use real mangoes. This was so sweet and refreshing after our meal! FYI, our dishes didn't come with rice. White or brown rice is $2-3 dollars. I'd probably come back for their happy hour. read more

I really wanted to love this spot, based on how much other folks seemed to, but it was just okay. They forgot to include our main dish in our delivery order, but I appreciate that they were quick to refund it. The spring rolls were delicious, but the rest of our dishes all seemed like they were lacking nuance in flavor. Pretty salty and heavy on the dried shrimp in ever dish. Definitely not a bad place, but a little less complex than I prefer. We ordered: - Crab fried rice: it was salty and lacked depth or anything besides crab to round it out. - papaya salad: not enough citrus, a little heavy on the dried shrimp. Definitely didn't want to drink the dressing like I do at most places - blistered green beans: not blistered, mostly tasted like dried shrimp and lacked other flavor profiles - fried spring rolls: delicious but basic. Served w what seemed like plain mae ploy sweet chili sauce read more

great date spot whether it's your 1st or 1000th date! 1st date: even if the date sucks, you are guaranteed a fantastic meal 1000th date: great date + fantastic meal! can also attest that it's just as great alone or with friends. all of their dishes are are fun, spicy, and have an unexpected flair to them. Same Same really is such a special place! some of my favorites are the green beans, waterfall beef, and green curry fried rice. i will continue to stan Same Same as long as I live read more

I really wish I could give this place zero stars which pains me because the food is actually good! Our waiter, BRADY was just the absolute worst waiter I've ever come across no joke. He had the worst attitude, didn't come and check on us not once. We saw a ROACH and he killed it acting like it wasn't a big deal. To top it off when paying he says "you know we work off tips" ??? My friend let him know that we didn't have a good time (due to his terrible service) and he says "I had nothing to do with that" and she said "you did though" killing a roach and acting nonchalant about it is insane. The waiter absolutely ruined the experience such a shame. read more

We were starving around 9:30pm on a Sunday night after a concert and it seemed like everywhere had a wait except this place. We were able to get 2 seats at the bar right away and the staff was very friendly. We ordered a pad see ew with beef and pad kee mao with chicken, medium spice. We were delighted when the pad see ew showed up with Chinese broccoli because we prefer that over the regular broccoli florets most places serve. The pad see ew was fantastic. Unfortunately the pad kee mao was too spicy for me to enjoy. Our server tried to warn me but I thought medium would be ok. Prices were very reasonable. read more

You know what makes Same Same different from other restaurants? The staff. We were immediately greeted by our wonderful server JoeJoe who kindly sat us at the bar. His recommendation for wine was exactly was I was looking for. Food was delicious as always but we were really taken aback with how kind courteous and knowledgeable our server joe was about everything on the menu! 10/10 definitely coming back! read more

Same Same Thai - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

As the stars suggest, it was A-OK. Nothing to be excited about (or to return to, necessarily). We sat at the bar and had friendly service from Tida. We chatted a bit about certain dishes that weren't on the menu (mostly I'm trying to let her know that I've had authentic Thai food and I'm not looking for Americanized Thai). We asked for our food Thai Spicy (I even said it in Thai). Sadly, our food was not Thai Spicy and it was too sugary and Americanized for me. Cute place, nice service, but for me, it's just ok food. read more

In the past I had commended Same Same but unfortunately recently the beef in my green curry was old. They must be cutting corners bc of all the hyperinflation and I understand but serving old meat is just a no / no. Bring back the old high standards guys! read more

Amazing Thai food within an even cuter setting. Service was great and attentive. One of my favorite spots to come to on this side of town.

Went for Dine LA. I love the decorations with the lights and umbrellas. The seating was very comfortable. It was a bit loud though. The Dine LA menu had lots of options to try a variety of things on the menu, but the entrees really shined. I loved the yellow curry! It was amazing and the pad Thai was really good as well The dessert options weren't great though. I did love the wine pairings. read more

SAME HONESTLY! I love this place and every time I say that to someone who's tried it, they're like same same. Well not really but I'm sure they would cause it's that good! I went on a shrimp splurge here since I ordered the shrimp pad see ew, prawn fried rice, and the black pepper salt shrimp (not sure if that was the name) The food, was, amazing. The dishes all came in nice small bowls and smelled great off the bat. Everything was flavored perfect and you can tell they use quality carefully chosen spices. Everything had a bold flavor and each shrimp dish had its own distinct taste. The ambience is very dark at night and it makes for a great low key dinner spot. This is a wonderful hidden gem inside of silver lake and I will definitely be coming back! read more

We came here during Dine LA specifically for their Dine LA menu but were disappointed all-around. First, they required that both people get the Dine LA menu, which we didn't want to do since the deal wasn't that amazing to begin with especially after we saw the actual menu prices. That said, we decided to just order a few things from the regular menu. Everything was so mediocre. The pad see ew was super oily and seemed like regular Thai takeout. The green curry was okay, pretty standard. The BBQ pork noodle was also not that great. The service left much to be desired. Our server seemed annoyed to be there and was not helpful in answering our questions. We asked for recommendations and she basically said whatever you feel like will be good. I hate that. In general, we expected an elevated experience and it fell quite short of that. We won't be going back. read more

Terrible .. who is calling this Thai food ? No flavor at all on any of the dishes .. the main ingredient is SUGAR .. everything from the salad to the meat dishes are steeped in sugar and nothing else .. unbelievably disappointing!!! read more

I loved Same Same. The portions were generous (my meal was at least two servings despite the deceptive appearance of the bowl) and a wide selection of unique Thai dishes were offered all at a reasonable price. My sister and I both have high tolerances for spice, and when we added peppers and chili sauce to our dishes the spice became very intense, and for her already spicy dish she oddly felt that the spice was almost too much, so beware. The waitress was quick and considerate, but not solicitous. The setting was small and dimly lit at night, but it did not feel packed. It appears to be in a little strip mall type inlet on Sunset Boulevard with other small restaurants making it easy to drive by, but do not let this deter you from trying it! Much of the seating is at hightop tables, which I know peeves some people, but the tables were spacious enough and it did not feel precarious. Definitely would return to Same Same for take-out or a casual meal with friends! read more

FAVORITE THAI IN LA!! The chicken pad Thai is my go to everywhere but the way they make it here is amazing. Typically in other places the chicken is dry. Not at same same. It's so juicy and tender, not an afterthought like other places. Their soups are amazing and recommend their spring rolls! So delicious only wish I lived closer to get it more often. read more

I think the stars say it all; "Yay! I'm a fan" but not "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" The food here is pretty good..allow me to elaborate. It's pretty good but nothing where I would HAVE to go back and nothing that I would actually tell people they NEEDED to try. Like, it was a good meal but nothing really stands out to me. I've had better Thai food. The reason why I probably wouldn't come back: parking. There is a small lot and then after that you're on your own in Silverlake on the streets. I really dislike Silverlake. I don't know man, this place didn't really seem like it had heart. I didn't taste the passion in the food. I tasted a place that wanted to serve Thai food in Silverlake. read more

The food here was amazing. My gf and I frequently eat out spending about 3k/month in dining and out of the many Thai restaurants in LA this one definitely is one of the top tiered ones. Their food just tastes fresh and clean. The kind of Thai food that allows you to eat and feel good after without that heavy feeling or greasy feeling. We tried a number of things, of the best was definitely the KHAO SOI Coconut Curry Noodle. That was incredible, we almost wished we got two of them. For anyone that likes spicy food, this is great but I would order it mild, it borders that kind of heat that is right on the edge of almost being inedible or unpleasant. Basically go mild if you wanna be able to eat this and enjoy the blend of flavors and textures. We also tried the FRIED RICE Pad Prik read more

This place gets 3 stars only because our service was pretty shitty. We grabbed a couple menus and sat ourselves. Our server didn't really pay attention to our table and our food took 30+ minutes to come out. Other guests sitting on both sides of us, who ordered after us got their food prior. The food was really good though! We had pad Thai (street style) and shrimp fried rice. Both flavorful & enough for two people to share! The restaurant was clean and somewhat busy for a Sunday night! My only compliant would be the service honestly. It sucked. read more

Food was good and service was nice. I appreciate atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant but it was way too dark. The padseyew? was a bit bland and the pad thai was overpowered with flavor. I do enjoy the noodle texture from the pad thai because it was chewy. Parking was horrible. Extremely limited and had to find street parking which is even worse. Wouldn't come back because you can definitely find the same food in the SGV for lower cost and larger quantity. read more

Best Thai food in the neighborhood! Good for a date at the bar with their natural wine selection or a dinner with some friends and some drinks. Service is quick and attentive and always friendly. The food here is great! Highlights are both curries, the Thai jerky, sidewalk pad Thai, crab fried rice, green curry fried rice, crispy pork belly, kapow, and prik khing. read more

Same Same has become my regular spot for me and my girlfriend. Delicious enough that each meal feels like a treat, and yet the prices are light enough on the wallet that we can come here once a month (or more!) without feeling guilty about it. Food: Always good. Have never had a bad dish here, and I have had a lot of fantastic dishes. You definitely need to try the Chinese Broccoli and Pork Belly, the Sidewalk Pad Thai, and the Red Curry with beef. Vibe: Great Silver Lake people-watching, yet still chill and relaxed. Bonus: Very thorough wine list (try the Txakolina!). And if you have dietary restrictions, the menu has a lot of gluten-free and vegan options. read more

omg the food here is so good! my bf and i love thai food so much that we came here twice in a week! we came on New Year's Eve and then for my bday! the crispy pork belly and broccoli entree is my favorite i like to add the fried egg on top because it puts everything together and it comes with garlic rice which is so good! we also had the bbq pork skewers and they were so good with the sauce. 10/10 coming back again! read more

I had heard really good things about this place and was really looking forward to trying it. I ordered pad see ew for pick up and they said it would take 25 minutes. Ended up taking 45 minutes. It also had a large piece of egg shell in the dish that I ended up biting down on. I wont be going here again. read more

Thai Food! Always a good option, Thai food, in my book, is always a yes!, no need to be 'in the mood' for it This place is really cool! Neon lights inside, Thai umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, candle light; simple yet complete menu. Temperatures are suddenly lower in LA, so I felt like getting a soup, my friend and I shared the dishes, we ate 'thai style' you know? We ended up ordering, Tom Kah soup, papaya salad and fried rice. Food was yummy, tasty and clean/neat presentation They also sale Thai beer by the way. This is a place that I'll definitely come back and recommend to my friends! read more

Same Same Thai - Same Same but Different - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

When I imagine a Thai restaurant in Silverlake, I'm expecting this "American-Asian Fusion" that will mimic Thai BBQ or something generic like Panda Express. Boy, I was wrong! This is by far my favorite and the best Thai restaurant in LA! (Yea, I said it.. "The Best") I grew up eating this type of food my entire life and I felt like I was eating my momma's cooking. This is my second time eating here and I had to take advantage of the DineLA menu. Pork and Crispy Rice Salad: This dish might've been inspired by the Lao dish called "Nam Khao".I absolutely LOVE it! Make sure to ask for more "fresh cabbage" because I got the stir fry version. I love the complexity of the sweet and sour flavor. I wished the cabbage was cut a bit bigger because it would've been a great "lettuce wrap". Beef Jerky w/ Jaew dipping sauce: Tip* Make sure to request a side of sticky rice! Growing up, my mom has taught me to dip the sticky rice in the Jaew dipping sauce; which is more of a paste like texture and take a bite into the beef jerky. Beef Drunken noodles: Be very careful of the serrano peppers, if you don't like spicy foods. A lot of flavors and it's just plain out delicious. Then there was this coconut vermicelli dish which was sweet and savory. Green curry was a bit watery for my liking. The rice didn't help either. Overall, Same Same does an amazing job at keeping the flavor authentic. Our waiter was amazing and attentive! I really wish I got her name so I can give her a shout out, but this review will suffice. The prices here is a bit more considering it's Thai Food, but I think overall, flavor is there, service is definitely there and there's parking! read more

Got takeout from here. Good thai food, certainly not the best. Tom yum was a bit too sour but not bad. Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were good and flavorful- standard Thai fare but nothing mind blowing. I did enjoy the waterfall beef! read more

Some of their employees are really cold and borderline rude when you get to the pick up window. The food is excellent. Menu is excellent. I would give 5 stars but the employees who usually run the front seem to always have a chip on their shoulders... unnecessary. It's nice to be nice! read more

Same Same, but mostly the same. I've been wanting to try this place out since it opened a few months ago because it shares the same name as this 6000+ member facebook group dedicated to MEMES that I'm in. I even posted about this restaurant's opening on the group page because I thought it was hilarious and figured some of it's LA members would be interested. It ended up with hundreds of comments and likes and a bunch of us planned a meet-up that never actually ended up happening. ANYWAY, I finally made it here for the very last day of DineLA. Same Same was the only restaurant that I could find that offered 4 courses and a drink (alcoholic or not) for the $29 dinner price. Sounds amazing and like a ridiculously great deal right? Well, turns out... not so much. My favorite course ended up being the first course. I chose the pork and shrimp dumplings, but as expected from a 4-course Silver Lake meal price at $29, the portions were small. This course included only 2pcs of the tiny (but delicious) dumplings. However, I looked through photos and it seems like they typically come with 4pcs if ordered off of the everyday menu (I could be wrong). Which I honestly think is still kind of steep at a $9 appetizer price. For the second course, I ordered the chicken laab. Only had one fire sign next to the course on the menu, so being Asian and accustomed to spicy foods, I didn't think twice about the spice before ordering. Wrong! So so wrongggg. I could barely eat it! It was so spicy that I had to down 2 glasses of water and then excuse myself to the bathroom to wipe the sweat off my face. Would definitely not order again or would ask for it VERY mild. I don't even want to think about how spicy the papaya salad would have been! My friend had the same (maybe slightly less-sweaty) reaction. The hard chunk of cabbage on the side was a weird presentation as well. Could have been wider thin pieces placed under the laab, but whatever. For the third course, I ordered the khao soi (coconut curry noodle). This dish was pretty good, nothing really blew me away, but decent and flavorful. However, the portion was small. I would be pissed if I came here, ordered off the regular menu, and received a portion that small for my main entree. Fourth course was the "mango ice cream with sweet sticky rice", which was actually just "one mango mochi over 3 spoonfuls of sticky rice". The host and the servers were all really nice though. The restaurant itself was small but the decor was cute and lighting was dim & romantic. I guess this would be a good place to have a nice date if you weren't hungry. Which I personally have never been in that position, but I'm sure there are people out there scared to consume large amounts on dates. THOSE people would love Same Same. But I'm different. read more

So far the best Thai restaurant in town for me. Nice ambience, authentic food, not sweet like many others, and well priced. Would definitely come back many more times. read more

The sidewalk pad Thai is very good--tart and rich, not too spicy. It's not got much in the way of protein or veg so I'd recommend it as part of a shared meal rather than a main dish. The Crispy Chicken special was good fried chicken but nothing interesting. I'm excited to try more of their dishes and maybe check out their happy hour. read more

I went to pick up the food both door were closed so I knocked very gently and the lady came to me and rudely asked me didn't you see I am coming to you and I answer I didn't she brought the food murmuring few words and I open the door to pick my food again she yelled at me don't touch my door and I was shocked why she acting like this you guys are running a business you should learn how to behave with customers and tomorrow morning I am gonna call the city to file an official complaint against you guys so be ready for that hope you treat your customers nicer Very very poor service read more

Great spot - solid food and service. Space is cool. Only wish that they served cocktails as well.

This place is a joke,ordered a red curry through uber eats and i though my driver eat most of my curry but when i called the place they said their red curry comes half in size,its literally 4 small pieces of chicken in few table spoons of curry in a rectangular container check the pics attached,for $15 its a rip off a bad joke really read more
