My wife and I have been walking by this unpretentious restaurant for 5 years and tonight we finally gave it a try. Let's just say, we've been missing out. The dining area is small and intimate and the decor is modern and minimalist. The menu options are expensive but each meal comes with a salad and a dessert. Once you factor these in, the price (15,500-16,500) is reasonable. The drinks menu is short but strong. Aside from your usual cocktails they offer a local artesenal beer, Baron, which is good, as well as my favorite beer in the world - Gulden Draak - although it doesn't go with Thai food at all. Still, these people clearly have good taste. Our meals started with a delicious salad. If the meal had ended here, I would already be impressed. Shortly thereafter our main dishes arrived. The portions were generous and the presentation was immaculate. The chef had made some artful tree designs on our plates using spices and sauces. Both of our meals were creative and cooked to perfection. Mine was spicy and my wife's was sweeter. Very different flavors and both well executed. The meal was followed by dessert. My wife had the cheesecake and I had the flan de coco. Once again, very well done. It is really difficult to think of any strikes against Samsara. I don't know, it was a little bit drafty?? The service was extremely prompt and professional and the price, though expensive, is good value for all that you get. It is also possible for two people to share one meal and that is what we will do next time. All in all, Samsara definitely ranks among Valpo's top 5 for me.

Small place with one big shared table and some solo seats against the wall. Atmosphere was fine. Kind staff. Had dumplings (8 pcs), a plate of pad thai (big enough to share) and 2 ginger/mint lemonades for 17000 CLP (tip not included). Great taste! Additional sauces available. Even got some tea for free. Very nice to taste something different than the more heavy Chilean dishes or the pubfood.

Some of the best sushi I've ever had. Innovative dishes - not just the normal boring stuff. You can even check out their menu online in advance. It's not cheap if you're not going for the daily special), but it's good. And the white wine by the glass is delicious.

We had a large sushi platter with a bottle of wine. It came out as great value, but we found that they abused with the cream cheese and to a lesser extend the crab sticks.Overall a cheap(ish) and cheerful place with a nice atmosphere.
