Sama Sama Kitchen
Southeast Asian
A Nashville barbecue devotee and an Indonesian-born chef walk into a Santa Barbara kitchen, and the result is a Southeast Asian restaurant that a Michelin Bib Gourmand and the LA Times both noticed. The menu moves between green papaya salad, steamed or fried bao, and dishes that land somewhere between comfort food and serious cooking. The back patio with string lights is where you want to be.
