Same Same Thai
Included In
Same Same is our favorite Thai restaurant in Silver Lake not named Night + Market. The concise menu is filled with standout dishes that are great for sharing, like sweet and creamy kho soi, slightly sour sai kork esan, and a rich panang curry. But what makes this casual spot so special - and useful - is their wine situation.
Same Same is just as much a wine bar as it is a Thai restaurant, with an always-rotating list of fun and refreshing biodynamic wines. It’s the kind of place where you could swing by on a quiet Wednesday night, hang at the bar, and sip unfiltered Slovenian wine to temper the heat of a spicy-as-hell papaya salad in peace. And Same Same will also be there for you on a Friday when you roll in with friends, and the main objective is to power through bottles of chilled Gamay like its alkaline water. Another plus is they don’t take reservations, making it a great option if you forgot that it was your turn to plan date night and everywhere else is booked up.
In short, this spot has combined two cornerstones of human happiness (wine and Thai food), and dinner here will inevitably make you happier.
