Same Same

Been here before and loved the food but service was sadly horrible tonight. Arrived and was told no one was ahead and we’d be seated when the next party left. A party of 2 left a 4 top and we expected to be seated. However a part of 5 came in 10-15 mins after us and were prioritized before us. We were then directed to the bar for seating, which was taken as soon as suggested. The male host made excuses about having to prioritize larger parties which felt very dismissive and unfair to people who were already waiting. The bartender agreed that we should’ve gotten priority. For a place that doesn’t take reservations, they should really ensure they’re committing to fair seating practices. We had later plans that weren’t taken into consideration since it was just assumed that we could just continue to wait.

Amazing food, best Tom Yum I've found anywhere in the city and the fried chicken is awesome

I've tried a handful of dishes on their menu and I will keep coming back. This was one of the first restaurants I tried when I moved to Roscoe Village. The owners are really cool people. Same Same is Flame Flame. I love their Hat Yai sandwich when they have it and the Phat Tai is a really nice portion. It's a cute spot too. They make it a colorful dining experience. Good people, good grub.
