Sama Sama Kitchen Santa Barbara Reviews from The Last Year
I am very upset that it took me years to finally come here
I am very upset that it took me years to finally come here because I have been MISSING OUT! Came in with a friend on a Thursday and found out it was happy hour (5-6pm)! The ambiance was great and the staff were friendly as they explained each dish and their recommendations! We ordered the Jamu Margarita, the Signature Wings, the Chicken Satay, and the Nasi Goreng Jawa. Everything was so delicious but the WINNER was the Nasi Goreng. We equated this to just the best fried rice dish we have ever had. This is exactly how I would want my fried rice to taste. I'm still thinking about it now! Don't think about it, just make your reservation and come the Sama Sama. You will not be disappointed!
We had the spareribs, the cod and a rice dish.
The ribs and the rice were good, the cod was bland with a nondescript flavor. We also had two margaritas. $150+, no option for the tip, they include it even if the service was bad. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, the outside seating isn't so special. We arrived at 6pm, and were told all the tables were reserved, we left at 7:30 and there were still 18 seats unfilled. We were directed to be seated at the bar with a few other guests without reservations. It's one thing to save tables for late arrivals, however if you're making people sit at the bar, it better be comfortable at these prices, which it's not. The seating at the bar is tight and uncomfortable, made for a quick drink, not a full dinner that cost's you $150 bucks plus tip. It's cute, obviously the pretty new face in town, but after seating a few more people at that bar, the bloom will be off the rose.
Amazing; food is so fresh, delicious, and well crafted.
Good atmosphere, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We showed up right at 5 without a reservation (on a Wednesday however) and were immediately seated. Portion sizes were perfect, despite other reviewers' complaints about them. Can't wait to come back.
Honestly overrated in my opinion by the reviews on google.
. Small portions, flavor was nothing crazy and overpriced in my opinion. They also have a mandatory 20% gratuity that makes no sense to me. It ok. I wouldn't come again here for dinner, was expecting something else.
Great restaurant with unique shareable plates! Would highly
Great restaurant with unique shareable plates! Would highly recommend! Very helpful staff and easy to navigate gluten free menu options.
For a Michelin-rated restaurant, Sama Sama was
For a Michelin-rated restaurant, Sama Sama was disappointingly average. Thought it's apparently inspired by Indonesian flavors, the dishes are your standard New American fusions of Asian cuisine in truth. The portions are quite small for the price and I can't say the food was mind-blowing either. We started with the Brussels Sprouts which were fine. The Braised Pork Noodles were decent, but on the small side. Finally, the Pepes Ikan was pretty disappointing, rather small and nothing too flavorful.
Sama Sama has excellent food and we were helped by Tony in
Sama Sama has excellent food and we were helped by Tony in the patio. He provided the awesome service, the food came out in a very timely fashion, and Tony explained the menu very well. We will definitely will be coming back and dining here again. Thanks for the great experience Tony. Strong work!
May be a great place to entertain, but food disappoints
This restaurant occupies a good location on State Street and has a nice seating area on the front sidewalk. It may be a great location for entertaining and for drinks, but it disappoints for those seeking an authentic Southeast Asian meal. Sama Sama does not post its menu outside, so it's hard to tell in advance that it does not seem to emphasize food. Some food item described on the website 'order online' menu (like mie goreng fried noodles) were absent from the sparse dinner menu provided at the restaurant (which seemed like it had a total of four entrees?). While the satays are tasty, the nasi goreng portions were fairly small and generally devoid of taste. Though service was friendly and reasonably fast, those seeking Southeast Asian food might head to Los Angeles instead.
In Santa Barbara for vacay, this spot was recommended by a
In Santa Barbara for vacay, this spot was recommended by a local. wings - half and half of the two flavor choices. Both the signature and the Vietnamese were delightful Green papaya salad - ingredients were fresh and tasted good. But not my cup of tea, preferences? Braised pork noodles - kinda felt like a half/third sized portion for a noddle dish. This is an individual sized side portion. Tasty, but tiny. Naughty nuri spare ribs - delish. Accompaniments - delish. Service was prompt and friendly.
The service was great.
The food though it was okay. Our fish was frozen in the middle, and we accidentally had a frozen bite. However, no discount or anything additional provided for the uncooked food. The fried rice- nasi goreng was probably the best part. The satay chicken was pretty dry.
I have been here so many times and would die on this hill.
. best wings in the west and the service is unmatched. This spot has gotten me laid countless times and I praise the efforts of all parties involved.
Food was testy, service was good, but to added 20% tip with
Food was testy, service was good, but to added 20% tip with our ordered was a bit much, and when the bill came it asked for additional tip..ha..ha..I didn't think so. Love the food, but will not go back for a long time. Thank you very much.
The food was so bad, I'm so sorry.
Party of 2, we ordered the signature wings, fried brussel sprouts, and crispy pork rice and none of it was good; wings strange tasting, brussel sprouts horrible after taste and rice was dry and honestly bland, more cilantro than meat. Our total came out to be $70 with tip, honestly super disappointed. I'm only giving it 1 star because the atmosphere, staff and presentation were nice.
They were understaffed, but hoo boy, did they fail at
They were understaffed, but hoo boy, did they fail at holding it together - the waitstaff was snappy with customers, left us without water for 20 minutes, took 45 mins to get one person's dish that she had forgotten about, while the rest were done and we were about ready to leave. The food was fine - not a patch on what you'd get in the SGV, but decent at bringing out SE Asian flavors and using subtle combinations. Not sure I'd call it the best I've had, and DEFINITELY not Michelin star worthy. At a default 20% service charge, the piss poor service was not something that would make me ever want to go back.
I loved the food here! Brussels sprouts were fabulous.
I am not in favor of an imposed "gratuity" of 20% added before taxes. A gratuity is optional and earned, what they impose is an extra charge.
very small portions and pricey ! not that flavor with the
very small portions and pricey ! not that flavor with the fish and papaya salad was not memorable
Not impressed with their food.
Nice ambiance the dishes we ordered were good but not great! We are spoiled having a wider selection of restaurants in Orange County.
Very cool place with Asian tapas for sharing.
A cool place with a rear courtyard accessible through the kitchen. Asian tapas are delicious and they feature a nice selection of wine. Popular place so be sure and reserve.
