Same Same — straightforward thai in Roscoe Village. Contemporary look with thoughtful details. If you drink, start at the bar. Ignacio Gonzalez: "The Kao Soi is an absolute standout: rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced"

The service was great but the Tom Yum was by far the worst i’ve ever had.
Got delivery from here and sadly it was the worst Thai food I’ve ever had. The Khao Soi was super bland with no spice.

“I absolutely loved my plate the fried chicken, didn’t like much the Curry, it needed to be a bit spicy and more flavor, it felt a little bland but still not bad”
The Viet style fried chicken was solid and the service was good, but that's about all the positives.
“Same Same is one of those rare neighborhood gems that manages to feel both homey and transportive.”
Same Same is one of those rare neighborhood gems that manages to feel both homey and transportive. Nestled in Roscoe Village, it delivers the kind of Thai food that reminds you why comfort and craftsmanship don't have to compete. Same Same doesn't shout for your attention, it earns it through flavor and feeling. Their house made curries are the clear standout, silky, aromatic and layered with spices that reveal themselves slowly, like a story being told one chapter at a time. Every bite feels thoughtful and intentional, balancing heat, sweetness, and depth in a way that feels authentically Thai but unmistakably their own. The back patio deserves its own applause. It's a quiet, candlelit escape that turns an ordinary meal into something almost cinematic. Perfect for date nights, long talks or solo dinners where you just want good food and your own thoughts. A definite gem!

“Tried Same Same for takeout the first time and was blown away—had to come back for dine-in.”
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.

“The drinks at this restaurant are absolutely fantastic, perfectly complementing the delicious food.”
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!

“Been here before and everything is always great.”
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.”
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.

“This place is adorable.”
This place is adorable! The cocktails were surprisingly unique- really enjoyed the Monkey Business and the Short Round. We had a few of the snacks and the steak dish. Absolutely no complaints. I've been twice and both times the server was kind and attentive. It started to fill up towards the end of our meal the second time but we did not feel rushed at all. There's a big patio out back that we'll be back to check out in the summertime! You can get a couple drinks and split food here and only be out about $50 per person which is a great deal if you ask me!

“Amaaaaaazing food.”
Amaaaaaazing food. We got the spicy fries - love that they’re crinkle cut - and they were perfectly cooked. The fried chicken is soooo juicy and crispy. It didn’t have too much breading either which I prefer.

“Really really good food and drinks (I tried the my Thai slushy, monkey business, khao soi gai, and combo fried chicken).”
Really really good food and drinks (I tried the my Thai slushy, monkey business, khao soi gai, and combo fried chicken)! Loved their outdoor seating and they provided the sweeeetest customer service. Every employee that we interacted with was genuinely kind and helpful even though it was busy

Omg SO GOOD! We're moving out of state and I regret not finding this place sooner. Everything was *delicious*. We ordered takeout: ribs, khao soi gai (curry noodle dish), khao phat muu krob (fried rice with pork belly), and tom yum soup. 😋 Seriously, it's so good.
