Review of Sama Sama Kitchen

My partner and I went here for dinner on a Sunday night. The menu was straight forward, but didn’t show any allergen information so we asked our server for gluten free options and she immediately knew which options were celiac safe and took us through the menu noting our options. Some dishes were gluten free but had fryer contact (both rice dishes and fried onions) (no dedicated fryer) so we avoided those. We went with the chicken sate (no peanut sauce and no fried onions) (arrived with fried onions so we sent it back for one without), cucumber salad, Pepes Ikan (banana leaf-wrapped cod—super delicious and self contained so seems no risk for cross contamination) with coconut rice (also came with onions on top so we had to swap for a new onion free one). Food was delicious and feel great still today afterward. Only caution is to be sure you don’t receive onions on top by accident! Would go back.
