Super good food. Strangely I cannot say the same about their Thai tea with coconut milk. Ordered one - it was so watery we asked for a new one- the second one was better... but I wouldn't order it again. It is just very thin and not flavorful at all. I'm used to a much thicker drink. The drunken noodles were HELLA GOOD and! The Rib Eye was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Def will recommend this place to friends. read more

This is my second time here and not my last. Very good food, beyond friendly staff, and great vibez. My friends and I came here for a Sunday dinner and our waitress and her counterpart were beyond awesome! Highly recommend this place!!! read more

One of our absolute favorite Thai restaurant!! We craveeeeeee for their wings all the time, and their crab fried rice is the BEST in town. Fun intimate ambiance, attentive service, bar seating available and always a fun time. read more

Food was out of this world good - we had an item from each section of their menu and each on blew me away. Loved the wine selection, it was small but perfect for the food. Service was very warm, and attentive when necessary. The space is nicely designed and had sublet rock music in the background. Will be back! read more

I've been looking for a bomb tasting Tom yum soup for awhile now and Same Same has hit the spot! I'll definitely be getting this soup next time I need a pick me up. The lemongrass flavor and spice was so good, not overtly spicy either. The pad Thai was delicious and fresh too! The noodles were perfectly slippery and the sauce wasn't sliding off. For being my second time here, I love this spot and the service is always great and engaging. read more

Same Same Thai - This is their mango sticky rice - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Super impressed with this restaurant. I am always a fan of trying out new Thai spots, as Thai is one of my favorites . I was out with a friend and we decided to order food to take back to his spot. As soon as he mentioned Thai, I was all for it. I ordered the panang curry with shrimp, with sticky rice and an order of veggie egg rolls. The panang curry was so flavorful, fresh and spicy. I loved it! I'm already craving it again. We did pick it up but waited inside while they made it. They have a cute bar area and plenty of seats. The seating area is on the smaller side, so I am happy we ordered for takeout. They have a small parking lot, but there is also metered parking as well. I also saw reviews for the Chu chee salmon, that also looked tasty. I cant wait to come back again! read more

Holy cow is this place good. If you're a fan of pad see ew, the best I've ever tasted is made right here. I'm shocked that more people don't know about it. And for the celiac folks - even though it's not stated on the menu, this dish can be made gluten free! Honestly everything I've tried has been incredible. The quality of the ingredients is amazing, and there is so much flavor in each dish. Not to mention the staff are so friendly. Prices can be a bit high, but there is a happy hour if you feel inclined. Every time we have guests from out of town visiting, we are sure to take them to Same Same. read more

We came here for dinner on a Tuesday night and are very glad we did. The cuisine was excellent, particularly the Nua Yang, Pad Thai noodle, and sticky rice. The soup had a lot of flavors and wasn't too oily, which I loved. Mussel pancakes, mu yang (grilled pork), and Khao Soi crab fried rice were also tasted by my companions. The service was excellent, and they were particularly patient with us because we were more concerned with conversing than with ordering. The restaurant is not so big so better to think about if you're going to come with a large group. Also, I don't think they accept reservations. The prices were a little on the high side, but you're paying for high-quality food rather than vast quantities. It comes highly recommended! read more

I'm SO SURPRISED that all these other Yelp reviews are saying how Same Same is "authentic" and "the best Thai food in LA". Like literally shell-shocked. I came here with a group of friends whom I travelled to Thailand with a couple months ago, and tasted the real deal. This by far is not authentic Thai food!!!! With that said, the food wasn't bad. But it wasn't great either. We ordered the Sausage Fried Rice, the Khao Soi, the Green Chicken Curry, the Pad Thai, and the Papaya Salad. We were warned that the Papaya salad was "Slightly Spicy", but that could not be farther from the truth. The aftermath of each bite was the definition of Satan waking up. My mouth was ON FIRE, and there was no quelling it!!! It kind of hurt too!! Real thai food isn't painfully spicy!! Anyways, our entrees were decent. For the Khao Soi (which was supposed to be a soup), there was barely any soup at all. It tasted reminiscent of Laksa, which I would have enjoyed more...because there's actually soup. The Pad Thai was average at best, and the Green Chicken Curry was too spicy to be thoroughly enjoyable. My favorite would probably be the Sausage Fried Rice, but even that wasn't exceptional. There's a cute little waiting area with a neon sign that says "But different" (re: Same Same). But otherwise, I feel like this restaurant is just hype and no substance. Even for a Thai-American restaurant (which it is), I think there is much room for improvement. read more

I treated myself and a friend to this amazing restaurant and I'm still thinking about it a week later... We ordered a few things and were satisfied with every single dish. We ordered some apple salad, mushroom salad, drunken noodles with veggies, and she got some dish with chicken. The only thing I will say is that the drunken noodles had a chili that was so spicy I had to take a breather outside of the restaurant that's not anyone's fault but my own, they warned me it would be spicy but I didn't realize how much (and I LOVE SPICE) lol. another thing, the ambience of this restaurant is truly special all the wait staff remind me of a big family and they all constantly checking on you to see how you're doing. One of the waiters was nice enough to give me a small shot of sweet red wine to help with my pepper problem lol. The aesthetics of the restaurant are really pleasing and I will definitely be coming again!!!! read more

Same Same is a hip Thai spot on Sunset in Silver Lake, right next door to Daw Yee Myanmar Corner. It's probably in direct competition with Night Market Song a half mile away--they're both destination restaurants with excellent food and atmosphere, and I may actually like Same Same better. Either way, I'm glad they both exist, and would be pleased if five more places opened up in the same vein, preferably in my neighborhood. I love a place with delicious Thai food that also offers alcohol and a fun, sit-down-and-linger vibe. I went last month with a work friend, who kindly treated me to a wonderful dinner. We were able to walk in at 7:00 on a Thursday, which I'm not sure you can do at Night Market Song--there was even free, easy parking in the strip mall lot. The place was lovely, charmingly decorated with a trendy wine bar feel. There was a nice-looking wine list, but we decided not to partake, sharing a couple cold, tall Singha lagers instead. Service was great. Our waiter made some helpful recommendations, and we ate very well following her advice. The food was absolutely delicious. We shared the pa piad sod and the pla muk yang to start. The pa pia sod was the house fresh spring roll with prawns, pork, tofu, bean sprouts, chive, and cucumber wrapped in thin sticky rice paper, topped with serrano chili and tamarind sauce. Tasty and satisfying with a spicy kick. The pla muk yang was even better. This was charcoal-grilled squid with the perfect supple, chewy texture. It came with a side of p'lek sauce, a flavorful mix of bird's eye chili, lime, fish sauce, and cilantro. We doubled up on chicken for dinner, getting the khao mun gai tod and the khao soi. This turned out to be a great decision, the two dishes very different and both superb. The khao mun gai tod was Thai fried chicken, crispy and flavorful, served over garlic rice with cilantro and an addictive sweet chili sauce. The khao soi was Same Same's coconut curry noodle, and it might have been the best version I've had in town, with chicken drumstick, egg noodles, yellow and red curry spices, chili oil, coconut milk, crispy noodle, pickled cabbage, lime, and red onions. The soupy curry was fantastic, and the chicken was falling-apart tender. We shared the mango sticky rice for dessert, and this was a great, sweet end to our dinner. The mango was fresh, soft and ripe, and it came with warm sticky rice drizzled with coconut cream. I loved Same Same and want to go back as soon as possible, both to eat all of the above again and to try everything else on the menu. It's a treasure of a restaurant, full marks for atmosphere, service, and mouthwatering Thai food. read more

Really cute place and solid Thai food! We enjoyed the happy hour menu prices! The Tom Kha was delicious and so flavorful. Very friendly and kind staff. We will be back! read more

This place has good food, when they make it right (its a 50/50 proposition that you're going to get it how you ordered it), but I can't do it anymore, the food is wrong way too often, especially for the price. It's such a downer to be looking forward to a meal all day, and when you finally get it and open the container, it's ruined before you've taken a bite. I understand mistakes happen, but the number of times that I've had my food made wrong is beyond frustrating or acceptable. Also, On top of this, they close the shop on delivery apps constantly, posting that their "closed" when they aren't, which makes it so you can never actually count on their hours of operation to be real. When prices are as high as they are, and other less expensive, more attentive, options exist, it doesn't make sense to come back here anymore. All in all you can't count on Same Same to be available during business hours, to listen to the customers, or to make the food right. What a bummer. read more

Awesome food! Everything came out super fast which was great cuz we were soooo hungry. Coconut curry noodles were a standout. Also loved the octopus appetizer! read more

4.5 stars. Maybe the best panang curry I've had in recent years-- and I've been everywhere-- Jitlada, Night + Market, Anajak, etc. The green curry was also incredible. Appetizers are solid. read more

Some of the best Thai food in Los Angeles. Their menu is outstanding but the panang curry and apple salad are must tries. The papaya salad is refreshing and spicy (a surprising rarity at most places). The restaurant is quaint and a bit small, so consider a wait time depending on the day. read more

Service 5/5: Service was great! They never fail to check in on you and make sure everything is okay. Food 3/5: I ordered the Pad Kee Mao with beef. The flavor was not fully there-- slightly bland-- unless that's because there were a few different types of peppers that were overpowering and masking the flavors. The beef was not tender, so I kinda wished I had gotten chicken or shrimp instead. While service was superb, I was not satisfied with my dish. If I'm in the area again, I'll come back to try their pad thai. read more

We love this place ... it's a short walk for our house and it some of the best Thai food in sliver lake !!!! It's awesome we have not had a bad dish ... the staff is rad place is great in side 20/10 go eat you won't be mad about it ... oh and the prices are really good too read more

This isn't the best thai food in Silver Lake - though it's close, 3rd best - but it's the best vibe. Night + Market has blow-your-panties-off flavors, but it's a stressful atmosphere, and I always feel like the rickety chair is going to collapse below me. Same Same is cool and calm and a great spot for flavorful eats and conversation. I just hope the UCB students next door don't catch wind of this place. read more

When it comes to Thai food, it's kind of hard to please me. It's really difficult to find a great Thai place especially when I'm always comparing it to the great "Lotus of Siam" in Vegas. Damn, don't get me started with that place. However, samesame really impressed me! It wasn't perfect, but I still feel it deserves a 5 star rating because I was surprised and really enjoyed myself here. The ambience was really cool - very instagram friendly with the decor and the cool neon light with the clever message. When they brought out the food, first thing was the presentation. I absolutely loved the oriental dinnerware it was served in. I'm a sucker for great presentation especially since I'm always actively posting content on my social media pages. Now let's get to the food: Thai Tea: my least favorite part of the meal. Every time I go to a Thai restaurant, I'm always looking forward to the Thai tea. What's a Thai meal without great Thai tea? The Thai tea here lacked authenticity. It tasted similar to the canned Thai tea you find at Asian supermarkets. Thai Dimsum aka Shu Mai: Amazing, amazing, amazing. I'm surprised that my newfound favorite shumai isn't from an actual dim sum place. Samesame reaches number one in my book with that kick**s sauce and crispy garlic they serve with it. Kapow Pork Belly Bowl: Very delicious, but very spicy. The flavor was definitely there but it was soooo spicy I could not really enjoy it. I would order this again but ask them to take the spicy down a notch. Also, I was expecting the pork belly to be really crispy. Mine was more chewy than crispy... Pad See Ew: I loved it. Comparable to my favorite pad see ew from lotus of siam. It had that "dirty wok" taste to it (a term I use to describe a wok that's been used many many times and has that charred flavor). It was also eggy which I looove when it comes to any Thai noodle dish. Khao Soi: The superstar of the night. Thick, rich, creamy, coconutty, and super yummy. Wow. Just wow. In comparison to the Khao Soi from lotus, I like this one a lot better. ORDER THIS. You won't regret it. Overall, this is definitely a place that I will come back to over and over again. I wish they would change their Thai tea recipe though! read more

After ordering delicious takeout from here (I.e., CRAB FRIED RICE) we decided to eat in this time. The restaurant is very casual but the dimly lit lighting makes it feel intimate as well. So it's great place for a casual date night or to catch up with a few girlfriends. It didn't look like there were a lot of groups when I visited, but I wouldn't recommend it for groups larger than 6. PAD KEE MAO - DRUNKEN NOODLE with (dry) crispy tofu ($12 -4/5) The noodles were delicious and very flavorful. The CRISPY TOFU was over cooked and dry, and the vegetables (onion/bell pepper) were almost raw. Eating barely cooked pieces of onion was not enjoyable PRIK KHING with beef($13 4/5) The curry and the tender beef were the star of this dish. The green beans were disappointing, under cooked (I prefer mine to be well cooked and tender - they soak up a lot more of the curry flavor that way) GARLIC RICE ($3) - a solid side to go with the Prik Khing but regular steamed rice will do just fine. We got both main dishes at a MEDIUM spice level which was perfect for us. If you don't like spice, you can request the level you'd like. Since the noodles lacked authentic flavor, we asked for a spice rack and they only had chili garlic paste & pickled jalapeños. This place makes decent Thai food, but it definitely seems a bit adapted for a more universal palate. How does it compare to other Thai spots in LA? Mostly same to same. But you could do better. Favorite dish here so far: CRAB FRIED RICE PARKING - small parking lot. You'll have better luck finding street parking. You can view their menu on their website and order food via Caviar: https://www.samesamethai.com They are not on UBER Eats yet. Pretty easy to call ahead to place an order for pick-up but expect a 20-40 minute wait during prime dinner hours. read more

Wanted some asian food but wasn't sure if there would be any authentic ones on Sunset, we found this place and boy I'm sold! First this is an extremely authentic Thai restaurant that was popping with a nice bar. So you have the hipster vibe but also delicious food for a good price. The fried tofu was soooo yummy, you can tell they used nice new oil instead of old overnight ones which most asian restaurant uses. The crab noodle was to die for. I went here few days ago and I'm ready to go back to get more! Happy hour was a great deal, I would definitely come here just to drink because of the decor. read more

Same same had decent Thai but poor service. Firstly there is no one to check you in, and although they have a clipboard to sign your name for a table it is in a non-obvious location so that's pretty annoying. We ordered the green curry fried rice, drunken noodles, chicken egg rolls, Chinese sausage, and a pork dish. Waiter didn't tell us the food was family style so definitely would have ordered too much food but our pork dish didn't even come out! Green curry fried rice really lacked flavor but the drunken noodles were good. read more

This place has great thai food. I went here for dinela and got the four course menu. The dim sum was so good. It was pork and shrimp and just melted in my mouth. It tasted really fresh and juicy. It was already in a soy sauce, which was really good as well. Please get the thai dim sum, its amazing! The next course was the papaya salad. I liked it, but I thought it was too spicy even though I asked for mild. Also there was an orange juice taste to the papaya salad which I did not like - its not traditional either. The larb salad was very good, but again it had a strong mint taste, which is not traditionally thai. I wouldnt order it again. The pad se you was soooo delicious. The beef was tender and the noodles were perfectly cooked, lightly glazed with sweet soy sauce. and chinese broccoli went very well with the dish, it was crunchy like its supposed to be. The dessert was disappointing. We were supposed to get mango ice cream with sticky rice, but we got a mango mochi with sticky rice. The mochi was not good, just gooey and with not much of a flavor. The sticky rice was very good though, but i would have likes to eat bites of combines mango ice cream and sticky rice, not the sticky rice by itself. Mochi from what i understand is japanese, not thai. So why serve mochi??? read more

Came with a group of 4 on a Tuesday night around 7:30pm and didn't have to wait for a seat. Parking can be difficult in the area but we got lucky finding a space in their small lot out front. We started off with some Same-samegria which had red wine and OJ. They have other beer and wine options too, but unfortunately no mixed tropical cocktails. We shared family style... - Somtum Thai: Light and refreshing green papaya salad, but also a has a nice kick. The more I ate this, the more I liked it. - Tom Kha: Coconut soup which we added shrimp to. We got the larger pot that comes with a flaming fire in the middle. Very generous portion for sharing. - Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle): Got this with beef. This was very spicy for me. I could only eat a little before my tongue was burning. - Khao Soi (Coconut Curry Noodle): The flavors of this was very good. One of my favorite dishes of the night. - Khao Mu Grob Kapow: Pork belly over rice. The pork was a little dry, and I wished they gave a little more rice to cut the richness of the pork. Would still recommend though. If you're scared of spicy, don't fret. You can request any dish to be less spicy. We had some made mild, and that was not spicy at all. Others we tried full spice to get the full Thai experience. read more

The best. best. One of the main reasons I keep coming back is because the team always goes above and beyond to keep customers happy. Alexis always rocks! Delicious food - Drunken noodles (spicy) are my favorite. I heard they have yummy dessert but I haven't tried it. Awesome vibes. I have yet to dine-in... love the lighting, not too bright, not too dark. Tables at the far end... good for couples and also good for small group of fiends. Open late. read more

Was with a few friends on a Sunday night when we came in here. I got the Green Curry Fried Rice with tofu, it was wayyy to Spicy for me, I couldn't finish it. I did make the mistake of eating the red and green peppers thinking they were bell peppers though, maybe it's just my ignorance to Thai food. I kinda also thought there would be more things (egg, more/variety of veggies) in the rice besides a few green beans. I also had a Thai ice tea which was okay, a little lacking in flavor/watered down. My friend had the Tom Kha Soup with chicken, I only had the broth because I am vegetarian but the broth was very coconuty and very creamy. I thought it was very good but if you're iffy about coconut maybe go with something else. Otherwise I liked the vibe of the place, and maybe would go back if I had a friend with me that could recommend some of the menu items, since I really am a novice Thai food eater. I would definitely not get the same thing again that's for sure and would head more warning from the chili pepper next to the title - ha! read more

Updating my review. Thai sausage fried rice and pad see ew are great, and it's very fast and a nice vibe.

Overall: 4 stars Food: Spring rolls: delicious!! I love the fillings (streak and shrimp) of these rolls. The sauce is amazing! Green curry w/ chicken: spicy, but also amazing! BBQ pork: the smokiness of BBQ meat isn't there. It tasted more like broiled pork. Still good but could be better. Sticky rice: hot and not dry!! Finally sticky rice done right! Fried chicken wings: not your Vietnamese chicken wings like the ones at Pok Pok's. The wings were just alright. Skip them. Thai iced tea: too sweet Service: Great service. Our server was super friendly and attentive. Love her! Parking: it's a little hard to find a space but the small plaza has its own lot. Street parking was too bad if you don't mind the walk. read more

Truly some of the worst Thai food I have ever had. I am not quite sure why this place is so busy- At any other restaurant , they ask you how spicy you want your food- and I like spicy food just fine. Same Same doesn't ask you , they just give the same same super hot version on mediocre Thai attempt The green curry which gets rave reviews is SO watery and spicy and consists of tomatillos and jalapeños and your choice of protein in green flavored spicy water. The Papaya salad was theoretically good- its a hard thing to mess up with only a few simple uncooked ingredients - but was SO spicy, it wasn't fun to eat- it was as if they spilled the entire red pepper jar into the salad by accident and served it anyway. The Pad Thai was the only thing not spicy and that is because it was so sickeningly sweet it was inedible. At least the wine will be good, right? Nope. Perhaps they kill your tastebuds with the heat so you cannot taste how bad the wines are. We had a nice time with each other despite the food- I had high hopes for the place because it is cute, but literally go anywhere else for Thai food. read more

food poisoning from the pad thai.. looks like i'm not the only one either. i don't have anything else to say but im not coming back

One of the best Thai restaurants in Los Angeles. And believe me I have tried many. I just wish they had a little bit more vegetarian options. For example, their Kao Soi is made with fish sauce but there are def restaurants with vegetarian options. They have a great happy hour with wine and Beer and the service is always good. The vibe is fun and upbeat but not pretentious at all. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The most different yet amazing chicken wings ever. Bed of Basil leaves on on deep fried rubbed 1/2 wings. Extremely tasty yet spicy hot with crunchy exterior...no messy sauce just incredible flavor. A new taste sensation for me and one I will be anxious to repeat! Red curry with chicken was a tongue burner but tasty beyond belief. Might want to have them tone down the fire if u have a low tolerance. Definitely a repeat visit is on the agenda. Just goes to show, do not discount strip center little eateries...it may just be a wonderful little jewel in a strip center crown read more
