Sama Sama Kitchen is a delightful gem tucked away in Santa Barbara! 🌿 I visited for dinner and was immediately struck by the trendy yet casual atmosphere. We started with their delectable small plates - especially the crispy spring rolls, which were bursting with flavor.

The fast service was impressive, and I appreciated the range of drink options, including refreshing cocktails and local beers. The highlight was the rendang beef, tender and rich in spices!

With outdoor seating and wheelchair accessibility, it’s perfect for a casual meal with family or friends. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area! 🍽️✨

If I could give this place more stars I would! It was eight of us yesterday and we get to try many different tapas and everything was amazingly delicious. It’s not our first time to dine there and the experience is always more than satisfying. All and all the food is delicious, service is excellent, super friendly people and a great location! Highly recommend 👍 One more: don’t forget to try their Sama Sama “The Peacock Chardonnay”.

I highly recommend having a reservation because it is popular and it made our experience easy getting seated right away! We were seated in the cute back patio.
The host recommended the signature wings and the waitress recommended the duck salad both dishes are award winning dishes.
We also ordered the spare ribs and chicken bao bun.
The bao was huge and left feeling very satisfied.
One of the most flavorful restaurants I’ve ever been to!
