같다 basically means to be the same. When you compare things and they are the same use 같다. When you are giving your opinion, use 것 같다. It sounds very safe and soft like using might or may in english. Be careful though, that you might sound that you are not sure about what you are saying.

'같다' means same. '것 같다' means guess. :)
ex)
'이것과 저것은 같다.'
'이것과 저것은 같은 것 같다.'

A인 것 같습니다. = It may(might) be A.
이 음식은 맛있는 것 같습니다. = I think this dish tastes good. (note that this sounds avoiding saying decisively. You might as well just say 이 음식은 맛있습니다. which means that This dish tastes good.)
