Same Same - Chicago

Two stars are for the friendly service and cool atmosphere. The food wasn’t “bad” per se, but utterly disappointing. I got the Same Same bowl and added steak. The fresh veggies were fresh. The small ramekin of ginger peanut sauce was tasty, but the steak was so overdone. Cooked till it was grey. Two hours later and my jaw is still sore from chewing. And there’s really only one way I like to make my jaw sore ; ]My wife got the Penang curry with tofu. She got exactly 8 oz of curry sauce, which she likened to slightly spicy cereal milk. Thin, flat, and way too sweet. It came with 4 thinly sliced pieces of tofu, a few pieces of green bell pepper, and way too many bamboo shoots.Shame on us for not sticking to our Thai go tos in Uptown or on the South Side.

Been here before and everything is always great. This time we ordered the pork ribs, crispy chicken and phat pad Thai. All were fantastic. The servers are very friendly and helpful too.

We loved their crispy fried chicken. The shallot topping was flavorful and the sticky rice was really soft. I also recommend their fried rice. About the curry, the crispy noodle was good but it was so little, the rest are soft noodle. So only order it if you really into curry.

Love going to Same Same! They now have gluten free menu indications on their online menu. Before they did this, I was getting conflicting information from the waiters in regards to gluten free options. I usually get the Thai green curry which is excellent! My friends and family have tried most other dishes and they are always excellent as well.

My current favorite restaurant in Chicago. Everything is delicious. It's hard to not want to go every week.
