About sAme sAme Brisbane

Tucked into Ada Lane, sAme sAme pairs high-octane Thai cooking with the kinetic buzz of an open action-station kitchen. Snag a seat along the counter right across from the wok burners to watch the line fire Wagyu pad see ew and rich curries. Diners routinely steer groups toward the multi-course banquets—the plant-based version, anchored by delicate tofu dumplings, gets just as much attention as the meat options. Table-side sommelier pours round out the room's electric clip, right down to the sticky rice with mango sorbet.

  • Theatrical Open Kitchen: Counter seating wraps around a central open kitchen, giving diners front-row views of chefs working the woks and grills.
  • Dietary-Minded Banquets: Multi-course set menus easily cater to plant-based, gluten-free, and dairy-free diners without cutting back on flavor.
  • Sommelier-Led Pairings: Dedicated floor sommeliers offer tailored wine pairings to match bold Southeast Asian spices.

    Front-row seating along the central counter lets diners immerse themselves in the rhythm and craft of the culinary team at work.

    Every dish was a standout but our favourites would have to be the Kingfish, the chicken curry, and the beef wagu pad see ew.

    The Panang curry, with Angus beef cheek so tender it practically melted, offered a delightful blend of coconut sweetness, nutty peanuts, and chili spices.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, banquet formats, and kitchen counter seating to maximize your visit.

    Secure a table ahead of time to avoid wait times of around 30 minutes, especially during peak dinner rushes when seats fill up fast.

  • Opt for Banquet Flexibility

    Choose between banquet tiers such as the $84 or $130 options; kitchens readily tailor courses for plant-based, dairy-free, gluten-free, or non-seafood dining.

  • Select Your Seating Experience

    Book counter or bar seating if you want to watch the action-station kitchen at work, or request standard tables if you prefer a less bustling spot away from entrance doors.
