sAme sAme Brisbane

Great atmosphere and outstanding Thai dishes overall. The open kitchen is a clear sign of how confident they are in what they do and rightly so. We tried two curries (the red curry with wagyu and the yellow curry with moreton bay bug), and both were excellent. The meat was incredibly tender and just melted in the mouth. Starters were also super tasty, and the service was good too — attentive but never invasive. If you love Thai cuisine, you definitely have to stop by Same Same Restaurant.

I love Thai food, and this Thai fusion spot truly hits all the right notes for me! We were especially impressed with the Smaller Plates: • Grilled Wagyu Ox Tongue with Betel Leaves: Incredibly tender and beautifully seasoned - flavourful without being overly salty. • Lon of Spanner Crab: Served in a crab shell with a delightful surprise side of prawn crackers. The crackers were crispy and not too greasy - a great pairing. For Mains: • Stir-Fried Asian Greens: I initially expected a mix of vegetables, but it turned out to be just bok choy. That said, it was one of the best I’ve had — full of crunch and that irresistible wok hei aroma. I appreciated that they honoured my request for less oil. • Massaman Beef Cheek Curry: I’ve had a few Massaman curries and this one stood out for the incredibly tender beef cheek. However, I felt the curry sauce itself was a little lacking, both in quantity and in presence - it was overpowered by a generous amount of deep-fried taro, which felt excessive. A lighter touch with the taro would have allowed the curry to shine. I requested extra curry sauce to better enjoy it with rice and the staff kindly assisted with that. The only downside was the longer wait between the starters and mains, but overall, the quality and freshness of produce and cooking techniques were excellent.

I’ve been to sAme sAme twice now and had Mae as our sever - she always has the best recommendations, very attentive & is so sweet! The menu is quite small for non seafood eaters but everything is delicious. My friends and I always get the same things: Ka-Soo Sai Moo, Chicken Baos, Crispy Pork Belly Pad See Ew, Grilled Wagyu Beef Brisket, Massaman Curry, all the sides and Mango Sticky Rice! Portions sizes are perfect, flavours are yummy and very well priced <3

Went to Same Same for my father’s birthday dinner and had a great night. The food was delicious — Thai fusion with a creative twist, while still keeping a touch of authenticity. Loved the chill atmosphere and the unique furniture. Service was warm and friendly, and overall the quality of the dishes was really solid. Would definitely go back!

A thoughtful solo dining experience. Highly recommend for all. Dined solo at sAme sAme and felt completely at ease. I was seated near the pass which provided a great view of the calm, focused kitchen, the whole experience felt intentional and welcoming. The service was warm, genuine, and refreshingly human. I didn’t catch their name (possibly Julianna?), but there was an easy, natural connection that made the experience feel personal. Their recommendations were spot on, and the offer to do half portions of the larger plates was such a thoughtful touch, especially appreciated as someone who travels solo and loves to explore menus designed for sharing. The food was absolutely incredible. Vibrant, balanced, and packed with flavour. Every dish felt intentional. An ideal spot for solo diners looking for more than just a meal. Welcoming, considered, and full of flavour, in every sense.

Walked in on Sunday night and it was heaving! We didn’t have a booking so they added us to a waitlist and called us within 20 mins with a table. Sat at the pass which was great as we could see the chefs preparing the dishes. Highlights were the pork belly noodles and crab dip - everything we had was delicious and full of flavour though. On the higher price end but the overall experience was worth it and we left rolling out the door very happy.

Had the Banquet for my partner’s Mum’s 70th Bday! Both food and service was amazing! We’ve eaten at Same Same before during covid and loved their food! However this time, celebrating my partner’s Mum’s 70th at same same was the right choice! From managers to the head chef , they all took time to greet her happy bday by going toour table. Lovely staff even wrote a letter! They made her feel so special! We were definitely looked after! The food was amazing! Banquet for the price is worth it! If you are thinking to get the Banquet, do it! We were so full at the end! For the price, you get your money’s worth! Our favorite was the tapioca dumpling- delish! The sauce of that kingfish sashimi- I could have it on rice! Yum. And the Lamb Green Curry! Tender and just melts in your mouth, who would’ve thought Lamb can go with green curry? Overall, the best experience! Best of Bris!

This was our first time dining at sAme sAme, and all we could say was “Wow”! From the moment you are seated to the point you’re finished, the experience was incredible. sAme sAme encompasses Thai flavours with a European twist that are both rich and subtle, the perfect touch. We had their Chef’s banquet with a few drinks, at 84pp, the value is exceptional. This was the 4th venue that we’ve tried under the Anyday umbrella, and safe to say we’ll definitely be back.

Leaving my review to counter the 2 star review cause this was my favorite meal in Brisbane! sAme sAme was next level in terms of food and service. Our server (Phuc Pham) gave phenomenal recommendations and was lovely! The host/manager? (Ken) also popped over and suggested we get rice with one of our dishes which was a great call. Totally recommend, dishes are flavor bombs! We ordered the betel leaf, chicken burger (ordered another one cause it was so good), kingfish, lon of spanner crab, and wagyu beef brisket!).

Despite it being a slow Monday night, our group of 8 were forced to have the chefs menu at $75pp as we were over 8 people. This was not discussed when booking. The pescetarian in our group was told numerous times they were a "problem eater". Three dishes of chicken and pork were replaced with Tofu despite a request for some other option. Same Same indeed. The service was inattentive and haughty. The food was overly rich, slathered in sweet creamy sauces and not a patch on authentic Thai food.
