SS Gai

S.S. GAI, operating as "Same Same" STREET THAI, presents a chicken‑forward street‑Thai concept encapsulated by the tagline "CHICKEN THAT HITS DIFFERENT." The operation began as a roughly 300 sq ft stall and has built a loyal local following. The team emphasizes an informal, hands‑on way to eat, using sticky rice as a base wrapped in lettuce with herbs, toppings and sauces. The kitchen highlights seasonal and local produce, citing North GA Candy Roaster Squash and local summer fruit. The venue holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction. The venue operates from a compact, casual stall at The Wash, Bay #3 in East Nashville. The stall cultivates a street‑food vibe focused on quick service and communal, hands‑on eating. The space is small and unpretentious, presenting as a neighborhood chicken shop rather than a formal dining room. The cuisine is contemporary Thai street food with a strong focus on chicken preparations, seasonal salads and noodle soups. Dishes pair traditional Thai techniques with smoked, fried and shareable chicken items alongside rotating seasonal elements. Specialties include grilled, smoked and fried chicken; Ba Mee Nam Gai served hot or sold as a kit; Khao Soi, a rich curry chicken noodle soup; seasonal som tum such as winter citrus som tum; Thai‑style buffalo smoked and fried wings; and whole birds to take home.
