We celebrated a milestone anniversary here. What an unforgettable evening. From our arrival where we received a special card & complimentary champagne. Head chef, Arte, made our meal very memorable. The food was delicious Thai cuisine, one of our faves. Seated by the busy kitchen, we saw a very well organised team put together an amazing amt of meals. We would highly recommend dining here, though not for those wanting a quiet intimate backdrop. We will definitely be back next visit to Brisvegas. Thank you so much Arte!

Absolutely excellent 👌 hands down the best Thai food we’ve had in a very long time. The service was extremely attentive and friendly, and we had the pleasure of being guided by a wonderful Sommelière who took her role seriously and gave us excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was both cozy and vibrant, making us feel instantly comfortable. We would go back anytime without hesitation. Prices are on the higher side, but absolutely worth it for the quality and overall experience.

It's a nice restaurant and the food is good but not "wow I'm definitely coming back for this again" kinda good. Service was polite and friendly, I think the guy was fairly new so he wasn't familiar with some of the questions asked. Very busy restaurant, be sure to book if you want a good seating. Counter is fine but there's nowhere to leave my bag/purse so had it on my lap the whole time while sitting on a high bar stool.

Same Same is such a beautiful spot — stylish, vibrant, and full of flavour. The food is fresh, creative, and full of personality, and the atmosphere makes you feel both relaxed and inspired. The service is kind and attentive, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. A place where every little detail adds to the feeling of a special night out.

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.

Will forever be one of my favourite restaurants in Brisbane. Across 3 seperate visits the food has never missed the mark. Absolutely love the bettle leaf dish! And the dumpling were not what I was expecting but really impressed me wish I could order 10 of them. The only downsides to the restaurant is that it feels very cramped and it is so loud as you’re basically sitting elbow to elbow with the next table. Service is okay but I feel that it could more improved and friendly

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.

We had been reccomended to try this resteraunt from family on our travels, it did not disappoint! The surrounding area was very fancy and a bit pretentious.. but when stepping into sAme same we felt welcomed and the staff were very attentive and kind. The food was incredible! We started with a Sa-Koo Sai Moo each, sooo flavoursome! We shared the pork belly pad see ew, Massaman curry and Asian greens! Everything was delicious and great sized dishes! We would recommend this place to everyone and hopefully be back on our next trip to Brisbane!

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.
