This is the best side kick Pad Thai I've ever had. The portion is really small but enough for a person. U can taste simply delicious tamarind sauce with pretty spices. Environment is cozy and dim. Chilling with your friends or VIPs would be perfect in here. read more

See all

Best Thai food I've had in LA. Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, and Pad See Ew are all lovely. I also recommend the chicken wings and Thai beef jerky. They have a great happy hour as well and lots of wine and beet to pair with your meal. read more

Came here for dine LA. The food was good. I really enjoyed the seasoning on the chicken wings. The laab and salad were both pretty spicy but good. Dont forget to get a thai iced tea read more

This is, I truly promise you, some of the best, most well seasoned, most flavorful Thai food in LA. It truly stand out from any other Thai food. Eat here. Know happiness. read more

My mother and I ended up at Same Same after not being able to find parking in Silver Lake for Night Market Song. I was trying to get to Rambutan Thai but Same Same had taken over the space. I understand the cruel fact of gentrification. Businesses never last long in LA anymore. But it's a little unnerving to sit in a restaurant that looks almost exactly like it's previous incarnation under a different name. That isn't why this is a two star review. Same Same's atmosphere was lovely. Small tables. Dimly lit with candles. Attentive hostess. Almost everyone in there seemed to be on a date. Same Same looked made for dates. Dates where you are not very hungry. The attentiveness of the waiter was the first problem I had with Same Same. I have never in my life had someone explain to me how to read a menu and how a menu works. Yes, menus have categories. Yes, each dish is something you can order. I have eaten out in my life. I did not emerge from the forest recently with no concept of restaurants or menus. The waiter's lengthly spiel was unnecessary and annoying. I understand explaining the specials and the spicy ratings is necessary and helpful. But as an introvert trying to have dinner with my mother during a stressful move I just wanted the waiter to shut up and go away. We ordered the beef panang curry, sticky rice and something involving crispy chicken and cabbage that began with a K. Both were quite delicious. Fresh, impressively high grade meat. Wonderfully spicy red and green peppers in the curry. The sticky rice was pretty good. It came in a fun wicker container and rather confusing plastic wrap. My other complaint is that the portions were so tiny. I am used to my curries coming in a full bowl of rich coconut curry sauce to be poured into the rice. This panang curry had only a small puddle of sauce that didn't even seem to have coconut milk in it.The crispy chicken with a K thing was super-delicious, I just wish there was more of it. There is a parking lot which blessed be had a space right outside. read more

This place has the worst customer service I have ever experienced!!! The person packing the orders is the worst, screamed at a customer for no reason and closed the door in his face twice. read more

Incredibly rude staff, was doing deliveries, and they slammed the door on my face while I was still speaking. Not to mention, it took them 15 minutes to give me the food that was ordered an hour ago.... horrible experience. read more

Food was mediocre at best, especially considering it's located in a neighborhood with such an abundance of great Thai food. I don't even remember what we ate because it was more or less forgettable. Service seemed very mixed up and confused. The hostess sat us at the bar while we waited for a table while there were plenty of open tables, then when we were seated at a table (which had been open and available the entire time) the bartender came over and told us we would have to move to make space for other customers. As we were getting up, our hostess THEN came by and told us that this was in fact our table so we sat. Then our drink orders were split between the bartender and our server for some reason so we ended up with more drinks than we had ordered (which they billed us for). The confusion was very odd and made for a very disorienting and distracting dining experience. read more

I really enjoyed this cute little place! My friend and I had no wait when we got there at 7:30 but it was a weeknight. We sat at the bar and the service was great. I ordered the Mu Yang pork and a beer and my friend ordered the Green Curry and a wine. The green curry was delicious but very spicy. My friend has a low tolerance for spice and he could eat it. I tried it though and loved it. My Mu Yang was delicious and I even asked for it to be extra spicy. The portions were great and I took some home for the next day. The ambiance is great. On the loud side but not terribly so. We did not have any trouble hearing each other. I really enjoyed this place and will definitely be back! read more

A solid plan b for when the line at Night Market is a bit too long to bare. Food could stand to be a little hotter in both temp and spice. Go on a Wednesday and get a bottle half price. And trust the staff picks, the curry noodles are delicious. Everything else we had (Tom Kah, Thai Dim Sum) weren't bad per se, but didn't leave me wanting more. The bar and ambiance has great vibes and everyone is super nice. Just wish the food had a little more read more

Came here for dine LA. It was a pretty good deal considering the quantity of food. After just coming back from Thailand I have to say the taste was pretty authentic. I really enjoyed the chicken wings. Everything else was pretty spicy so he prepared for that but the flavor really popped and were great read more

I made the mistake of ordering here once. These guys have terrible customer service, and terrible food. Spicy prawn fried rice? What a joke. I literally called in because I received 15$ cold shrimp fried rice and they had the audacity to claim prawn and shrimp were the same thing. If you are using shrimp, label your protein as shrimp and not something that sounds fancier just because they are similar. Deceptive, slimy business. I hope anyone that is looking to order from here reads this first. Who knows what else they are hiding? Everything I ordered was absolute garbage, from the drunken noodles to the not-crispy chicken. What a waste of money, this place needs to go. read more

Great food, horrible service. I love the food, but the service is horrendous. I've experienced on multiple occasions attitude from employees...most recently I placed an order for delivery. The delivery time said 30-45 minutes, over an hour later there was no food in sight. I called to see what was going on regarding my order, the woman who answered gave me serious attitude. She barked at me that they were slammed and all their orders were behind. I completely get that a restaurant can get busy and bombarded, what I don't get is giving a customer attitude when they're just trying to understand what's happening. I didn't receive my food until another hour later and of course, it was cold and soggy. I won't be returning purely based on the lack of hospitality and rudeness I've experienced. read more

This place is very pretty. I ordered for pick up and got the green curry. I personally like my curry to be thicker and more creamy but this one was pretty watery. The flavor was fine but the chicken was pink and looked not fully cooked which was unappetizing. Not a awful spot but there's room for improvement read more

SPICY!! But delicious. I heard the people at the table next to me complaining about the spice level, and saying "they should have warned us!" It's literally written all over the menu, but the server did bring them shots of Thai iced tea to help cool down their mouths, which I thought was nice. The food came super quick. They also have happy hour, so the drinks were very inexpensive! The bar is cozy, and the table seating is pretty standard (a bit over crowded). Overall they've very good, and I'll be back. read more

Eh I'm not really impressed with this place, which sucks because I was looking forward to trying it out. A thai wine bar? Sounds awesome! So went during DineLA restaurant week. The normal wine menu is honestly not very extensive and not impressive, especially if they call themselves a wine bar. One order of egg rolls came completely cold- meaning the frozen egg rolls they reheated weren't heated all the way through and that makes me worry for food safety concerns. The entrees I shared with who I was with, and both had the same flavoring, I guess they used the same spices in both dishes even though one was a panang curry of sorts and the other was a chicken soup/stew with noodles. And just a warning, their spicy is REALLY spicy. Seeing from other reviews it seems that is the norm here. Usually in my experience when food is too spicy like that, they're compensating for a lack of flavor. I wasn't a fan of the desserts, but that may be just a personal taste. Service was really great, quick, and nice. Food wasn't anything I would come back for. The parking lot is very convenient. Then end. read more

Excellent papaya salad. Even better pad see ew. But I'd stay away from the crispy rice and bbq chicken. Cool vibe and worth another shot to try other delicious noodle items read more

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

We've ordered from Same Same many times. Mostly through Postmates. Every single time we order the same dishes.Thai sausage fried rice and Beef Jerky fried rice. Each time the sausage pieces in the rice keeps getting lower and lower. Today I literally had 4 pieces of meat and big bowl of plain rice. These are not chunks they are slivered sausage pieces. Charging $12 for that? read more

The most delicious Thai food in all of LA! I crave this place at least once a week - the green curry is one of my favorite meals of all time. I've never had a bad dish from this place 10/10! read more

This is the best Thai food I have had in many years. Don't miss the drunken beef noodles or the fried chicken and rice dish. The vegetable spring rolls are also great. Will definitely become a regular even though we live far away. read more

Came in last night with some friends and were welcomed with lovely and attentive staff - while it was dark and loud AF, we sat down to nosh on it all. $5 Singha = win, though we ended up drinking all of it (sounds cooler than it was - we, realistically, had 8 between the 6 of us) and had to switch over to $9 Chang's (not totally a shame - they were the larger bottles). Ordered up some food: - Fresh Spring Rolls - they were fine - they're cut (ish), so a bit messy if you're trying to grab a piece from across the table - mine fell to pieces - Papaya Salad - nice and spicy, a bit confused on the huge slab of cabbage (I am no doubt very shy when not sure if I'm eating things correctly) - but the papaya itself was sliced thin and medium spicy - Sticky rice - good and indeed sticky, not too much though, but order lots if you're a heavy rice eater - Steak Salad - steak was well cooked, pretty average tomato and cucumber set up - Green curry - spicy and delicious, this I would certainly come back for - Pad Thai - with chicken, had to, smaller size would recommend sharing between two All in all, I thought it was fine - people seem really upset that this place replaced Rambutan but from my understanding the chefs are still in place (and they do take out Rambutan, according to the website). We weren't super daring in our selections - would probably come back to try other things. The food was good but I would warn that the ambiance was very VERY dark and quite loud; I had a somewhat hard time seeing the food I was even eating, so will probably take out. Food is good but it's so loud and dark. Or maybe I'm just getting old. I was that person with my iphone flashlight on, completely ruining the hip ass vibes there! read more

My favorite Thai restaurant! We had Khao soi and the green curry were divine! They have really delicious wild rice here..

This is hands down the best thai food I've ever had. I am not from around the area but will be driving just to eat here again. I had the chicken pad thai ( medium spicy), my fiancee had the pork belly, AMAZING!!! We also shared the dim sum appetizer and the fresh roll. I can't rave enough about this place. I wished it was closer to our home. You won't be disappointed, enjoy! read more

I am sad to write this review as the food is relatively good, but this is the second time I have had issues with their takeout system. This second time they could not find my order and I would have to wait 20 minutes to order the food at the restaurant. What is the point of ordering ahead at that point. The response from the waitress was 'yeah, grub hub is awful' I was curious why you would use that system if that were the case. Sticky rice down the street has better customer service anyway. read more

If you are ever in Silver Lake you have to go to same same. The staff is very friendly and there isn't anything I have tried that I didn't like. You are better off parking on the street than in their tiny parking lot. read more

This is one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to. Super cute ambiance with umbrella lamps and a really good looking bar. Super cute date night spot - much quieter than most thai restaurants I've been to. Our server was really sweet and made solid recommendations, as we were having a hard time deciding. We ordered half of the menu and have no regrets. I liked this place because they had an awesome mix of Thai classics (curries and pad thai) with some dishes I've never heard of or tried before. Tom Kha soup - among the best I've ever had. Really light (as opposed to heavy coconut cream) with perfect balance of lemongrass and lime. Flavors were really clean and crisp. Perfect for cold days. Apple salad - we opted for the apple salad over papaya salad because the server said the papaya salad was the spiciest thing on the menu - but they had similar flavor profiles. Amazing! Tart, sweet, with a little bit of a kick. It was perfect. Charbroiled Squid - the dipping sauce was SO good. Has a little bit of a spice on the back of the tongue but I wouldn't consider it to spicy. Curry Noodles - this was something I'd never had before and combines two of my favorite thai dishes. Thin, Pad thai-like noodles, soaked in a red curry broth. Comes with a drumstick in the middle, which is hard to share, but delicious. Chicken Katieb - no idea what Katieb is but this was bomb. Came in a tangy liquid with marinated cabbage pieces and other delicious things. Mussels Pancake - honestly, I don't know how to describe this. I just advise your order it. It's like a crispy noodle pancake, that comes in a cast iron skillet, with fried mussels and bean sprouts on top. Totally unique and really good. Most dishes in the menu ranged from $7-$13. They have $5 Tsing Ha beer and some great Thai Iced Tea. This place is such a gem and I am SO happy I know about it now. read more

The happy hour is amazing!! We got the chicken wings, fried tofu, and apple salad and had to get a second round because they were so good! The shrimp pad Thai was also perfection!! Oh and don't forget to get a Thai tea! read more

Very fresh ingredients , fair pricing and perfect portions. I dig the hipster touch. Ambiance is great and what great selection on wine. papaya salad , drunken noodles and satay chicken were phenomenal which tasted great paired with their chianti. read more

My friends and I went to try out this new spot. It was easy to find with plenty of parking on a Saturday night. The food was very delicious. We had the chicken satay, dim sum and laab as appetizers. The Laab was definitely on the spicey end so beware! We then shared several main courses to share amongst the group. Throw a dart at the menu and you have a 50% chance of getting something we ate. It was all very very good. The ambience is fun, hip, and different than the normal Thai restaurant you might walk into. It's well decorated and the servers are very friendly. read more

Wow- the food here is killer and frankly addictive. It's such a cool, hip spot with great drinks and wonderful service. The whole staff seems glad to be there which definitely makes the experience better. It may be small and unsuspecting but it certainly packs a punch. Everything on the menu is highly recommended! read more

So my friends and I decided to come here for Restaurant week. It had a 4 course menu plus you choice of wine, beer, Thai iced tea or Thai iced coffee for $29. I got the Thai iced coffee, which was pretty standard. It was very refreshing. So I got the vegetable spring rolls, papaya salad, pad see yiu with chicken and the mango ice cream with sticky rice. The spring rolls were a little better than your average spring rolls. They were almost the size of a full egg roll and packed with seasoned vegetables. They were served with sweet and sour sauce which was your average sauce, nothing too special. The papaya salad was really tasty! The papaya was crisp, the tomato were juicy and flavorful, and there was the perfect blend of sugar, fish sauce and lime juice. And it had the perfect spiciness to it. It wasn't just a tiny bit spicy and it wasn't over the top spicy. The pad see yiu was good. Perfectly cooked wide noodles with broccoli rabe that wasn't overcooked with chunks of seasoned chicken and eggs. The sauce could've been a bit less salty, but the dish was pretty good overall. Finally, the dessert. I was expecting a bowl of coconut sticky rice with a scoop of mango ice cream on top. But instead of the mango ice cream, it came with a mango mochi! That was good. The ice cream inside the mochi had a slight mango flavor. I wish hadwas more. And the rice wasn't too great. It was a little hard and didn't have that much of a coconut flavor. It could've been microwaved and then they added the mochi on top. So in all in all, it was a pretty good meal. The ambiance was nice. Dim lighting to the point of it being almost dark. They're were Oriental umbrellas on the ceilings and Asian trinkets placed on little shelves. I would go there again to try their regular menu if I ever was in the area. read more

The lady at front is so rude and have terrible attitude. The food is good but this person"s bad energy just ruined my night.

I ordered pad Thai and Tom kha soup online but received Tom yum soup instead. I didn't feel like complaining about it, so I thought I'd eat it anyways. It turned out to be delicious! So if it had been what I had ordered, I'd have given a 5 star. I'll order again and just hope the mistake was a one time thing. read more

I ordered the Tom Yum soup and it was one of sweetest one's I've ever had at a Thai restaurant. It was very disappointing. Also the Pad See eww was overly sweet as well. I don't think I'll be ordering from here again. read more

Everything here was delicious -- and it's not common for *everything* you order to be excellent, right? Right. They were out of the pancake, and for that we were sad and disappointed, so we went with the omelet instead. Yeah, I was apprehensive about the shrimp and egg situation, too. But don't listen to that other yelper --the omelet was delicious. Papaya salad and Drunken Noodles were perfect and just spicy enough. We'll be back! And by that time hopefully y'all will have a more serious happy hour. read more

Wow. Just wow. I had a friend recommended this place to me a few months ago and tonight my boyfriend and I were looking for takeout and this place came up. I'm so happy we chose it because the food is phenomenal! Everything tasted perfectly executed, all the noodles and rice had amazing texture, all the proteins were clearly quality and perfectly cooked. I wish I could have picked a favorite but that wouldn't be fair to the other amazing dishes we ate! read more

Lame Lame. It's all about Postmates here. In and out they come. So busy that they don't even have time to seat you in their empty restaurant. Wonder why it's empty? Telling customers to grab a menu and seat themselves. Even though there's a sign noting, "Please wait to be seated. People must be over the distraction. All the phone and bartenders endless chatter trying to facilitate orders. Silver Lake has way too many other tasty Thai restaurants to return here. read more

Well made food, great ambiance and attentive service. I really loved my visit to Same Same last night. The music wasn't too loud, the lighting was low and the food was well executed. Thankful for the $5 Singha, and all the drinks on the menu were moderately priced. Ordered the Pad See Ew and Fresh Rolls (I know, not adventurous) but it was so tastey! Definitely need to go back for more. read more

overpriced. I ordered food for my family and when we received it, the to go containers were half way filled. I was NOT satisfied with the amount of food that was received for the amount that was paid. read more

Came here during happy hour and was so in love with the decor! Def a place to take cute pictures, which is always a plus. Off the hh menu I had the pa pia tod (crispy veggie spring roll) and the somtum thai (shredded green papaya salad), both were very average tasting, but hey it was on the hh deal so what can you expect. Off the regular menu I had the gaeng kiew wan (green curry) that was decent, but not the best green curry I've had. What really blew me away was the katieam (crispy garlic and black pepper) with veggies, that came over cabbage and had this delicious sauce, def coming back for this dish! read more
