Sama Sama Kitchen is a popular restaurant known for its award-winning dishes and creative cocktail menu. The menu features a variety of unusual and tasty options, including the signature wings and duck salad. While the portions may be small for some, the overall dining experience is described as flavorful and satisfying. Visitors should be aware of the mandatory 20% gratuity, which can make the meal a bit pricey, but the restaurant is highly recommended for its efficient service and unique culinary offerings.
The restaurant is praised for its Michelin Star South East Asian-inspired cuisine. Customers have enjoyed the Krupuk lunch special, which includes yellow rice, beef satay, chicken wings, and a smashed Persian cucumber salad. The Crispy Rice Salad, with puffed rice, pork sausages, and fish sauce, is also a popular choice. The chicken wings, available in signature tamarind-soy BBQ and Vietnamese fish sauce/Thai chili sesame flavors, are consistently delicious.
While some dishes may lack the expected spice level of Southeast Asian cuisine, the restaurant provides a satisfying atmosphere and flavor combinations. Customers have enjoyed the Pepe Ikan (steamed cod) wrapped in a banana leaf with a delicious coconut curry, as well as the Bish bowl, which features a tasty herbed salad component. The jasmine rice and cocktail menu have also received praise.
