I really hate leaving bad reviews. But sometimes you just have to warn other good people to be aware.Buyer beware. Take your receipts. The bartender is giving himself fat tips!! I have the receipt.If you go to this spot make sure you take your receipt with you.To the smug loser bartender who gave himself the fat tip…Amex refunded me. If management doesn’t fire you they are just as stupid as you are. Nice try partner!

Absolutely brilliant; short menu with delicious options. The drinks are a little cheeky and clever with flavor to match. Persian cucumbers are light and refreshing; the chicken sandwich has good spice and crunch. Excited to return and try more items!

Great food. Loved the chicken sandwich, the croquettes, and the potatoes were excellent. The old fashions were spot on.

What a find this place is! The cocktail program is spectacular, extremely unique and well balanced original cocktails coupled with excellent classics.Food is also really tasty and unique with thai inspired dishes.As if Same Same wasn't great enough, they have gluten free dishes and clearly someone is aware of cross contamination in that kitchen, because I have celiac and woke up feeling great which is kind of rare. So BRAVO Same Same. Your staff was amazingly knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining as well. The decor is also awesome.My husband and I cannot wait to come back and try the whole menu.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and Gluten Free / Celiac friendly

They have a great menu of craft cocktails that will knock your socks off. Ashley was great behind the bar and served up some exceptional drinks. We had a Sioux City Old Fashioned and an Espresso Martini at the special happy hour price (4PM to 6PM). We tried the Samosas, Larb, and the fish sauce wings. Solid choices and great small plates to share. Kinda trendy cool place with lots of people coming in for good eats and drink

Awesome bartenders and drinks, and really amazing food. I had drinks and dinner there two nights in a row, and I honestly don't think I've done that anywhere else in about 20 years! Don't be afraid to try the fish sauce chicken wings--they are delightfully crispy, juicy, and flavorful, and they're also gluten-free! The menu is tiny, but the people I was with sampled most of the menu and we all loved everything.

This place truly has it all! With its welcoming atmosphere, delectable food, top-notch drinks, reasonable prices, and the friendliest staff in town – from security to bartenders – it's a standout spot in Carlsbad. In my opinion, while there are plenty of places to grab a quick drink in Carlsbad, Same Same sets itself apart in a league of its own!
Drinks are always good here and so is the atmosphere one of my personal favorites in

I don't even know if I have the words! Rarely are we so impressed with every item we order. All 3 dishes were phenomenal. Seriously. Anytime I visit Southern California I will make sure to come here. The Tom Kha was mind blowing. If they ever decide to ship nationwide, I will be the first to order. The wonton samosas are by far the most flavorful I've ever had. Initially as the plate was set down I wanted more sauce- and the sauce was amazing and I would have loved more of it. And, these are so damn good you don't need any sauce! Lastly we shared the Khao Soi. My god. If that's not heaven in a bowl I don't know what is. I could hardly stop myself from eating although I was quite full. Again, my standards are fairly high. If I am paying for food I don't want something I can make at home. If you're considering coming here it's a must! You will be so pleased. If you don't like interesting or adventurous food this might not be the place for you- or maybe it will change your life in the very best way!

I'm beyond impressed with the food, service and decor. Every dish we ordered was phenomenal! We ordered a variety of drinks and not one was a disappointment. The espresso martini was phenomenal as well. Best one I've found in the area! Will be returning again and again!!

If you have not visited this unique restaurant/bar in Carlsbad you are missing out! Whether you are a SD local or visiting, Same Same offers a unique experience and a walk through Thailand with a modern day twist. Great for a wide age range of 21+!

Take a walk with your palate down Bangkok streets through the many Thai fusion eats and allow all of the flavors to seduce your taste buds! You will leave this amazing neighborhood favorite feeling as if you are part of the Same Same family! All of the staff are friendly, well-versed in the Same Same menu and ready to guide you through your exotic adventure.

The food was good. The bartender was cute. I ordered the lamb croquettes and the chicken sandwich. They were both good.
