Tried Same Same for takeout the first time and was blown away—had to come back for dine-in. The Kao Soi is an absolute standout: rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The pork belly rice is just as impressive—crispy, tender, and packed with flavor. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or sitting down for a meal, Same Same delivers.

Visited Same Same recently and was really impressed. The food was packed with flavor and felt authentic—especially loved the curries and the pad thai. The staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. The vibe was cozy but modern, perfect for a casual night out. Prices were reasonable for the quality. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for great Thai food and a relaxed atmosphere.

The drinks at this restaurant are absolutely fantastic, perfectly complementing the delicious food! Among my personal favorites are the mango sticky rice, with its sweet and creamy coconut sauce, and the pork belly fried rice (khao phat muu krob), which features perfectly crispy pork and aromatic jasmine rice. You truly can't go wrong with any of the dishes here; each one is crafted with care and bursts with authentic flavors. It's definitely worth giving this place a try, and I'm confident you won’t regret it! This restaurant has firmly secured its spot on my go-to list for Thai food in Chicago!

HORRIBLE! The first time I ordered was amazing. The second time was so burnt out that I couldn’t even eat because everything tasted so bad!!!

Let me preface by saying I love salt. This food was too salty. And oily AF. The shrimp in the dish were perfectly cooked, but goddamn, the rest was a hot, unappetizing mess.

kind of just okay! I was expecting more flavor from the panang, given all the reviews. shrimp spring rolls were also not that exciting. not a bad experience, but just ok!

It's a cool vibe restaurant but the food is really not great. I was expecting some great Thai food but the value wasn't there and neither was the taste.

Have been here a couple times - dine in and carry out. Chicken is great!
Pad Thai and Panang curry are both a bit bland.

Solid Thai food - I enjoyed the basil chicken rice and the fried chicken., though the menu felt a bit limited and didn’t feature many unique Thai dishes. The restaurant has a funky interior and added a fun vibe to the dining experience.

The restaurant looks nice on the inside and outside, and the staff are friendly. Unfortunately, the food is bland and lacks real flavor. It is definitely far from authentic. For good Thai food, I recommend trying other places.

My friend and I went to Same Same Wednesday night and ate on the patio. It was delicious and the drinks were great. Fast forward to today... I just reheated my leftovers and there is a beetle, (clearly cooked within the original meal as its bright and crunchy) in the food. I have NEVER had this happen in my lifetime and I'm disgusted beyond belief. Please remedy your kitchen hygiene and food prep procedures asap. I will not be going back here, which is sad as the food had great flavor. Appetite gone.
