Sampan

Sampan is my go to happy hour whenever I am back in town!!! I LOVE this place. I cannot say it enough! The edamame soup dumpling is my favorite thing on the menu I could easily eat 100 of them myself. The happy hour menu is a great way to share some stuff with your friends, taste some favorites and …

Sampan has one of the best Happy Hours in town! From 4-7 PM, the drinks were great, and every dish we tried was a solid 10/10—except for the calamari napa cabbage salad, which wasn’t my favorite. But the ceviche? Easily the best I’ve ever had! We sat at the bar, which was a bit of a tight space, but the …

THE PLACE for a nightcap in Philly <3 Conveniently located near the bar street , it's the perfectly dim lit restaurant to visit when you're slightly buzzed and want to eat lip smacking freshly prepared Pan Asian Food. Very impressed by the vegetarian menu (even though it's 1 pager ;)). I'd the lo mein which'd all the good stuff ! …

My first time at Sampan and it was amazing. I made reservations for dining inside. I originally wanted to do happy hour but happy hour is first come, first serve and seatings are only outdoor, indoor bar, and the bar seating near the kitchen. At 4:45pm, it was pack so I decided to not partake in happy hour and just …

Incredible meal and cocktails! Highly recommend the tasting menu to get the full experience — and it’s a great value. We asked our knowledgeable server to curate our selections, and he absolutely nailed it. Every course was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. Would definitely come back!

I’ve come here many times over the years, either solo or with a group. It’s consistently a great meal and easily my favorite Asian fusion restaurant in Philadelphia. No matter how busy they seem to get, the service is always kind and helpful, with delicious food and cocktails too. Highly recommended, and the ice cream sushi is an absolute must-try. …

Best dumplings ever! Wow! The edamame dumplings are to die for!!! They were so amazing we return the same night for more! Friendly staff, fast service even though the restaurant was super busy. The happy hour is amazing!!

Went to Sampan on a Saturday night with no reservation and was told it’d be a little over a two-hour wait. They texted us after about an hour, and when we came back, we were seated at the bar overlooking the kitchen. At first I was annoyed it wasn’t a regular table, but it ended up being a great spot …

Cute space and good food. We went during Restaurant Week as soon as the snow storm stopped. We will definitely come back. Food was good and service was great! My favorite was the wagyu beef and tuna rice crackers. The dumplings looked great but we missed out this time.

Loved the chefs tasting menu option. $56 per person and you choose 7 dishes and the chef sends them out family style as they are made. The cocktails were very good. The waitress Izzy had good vibes and she was knowledgeable since she worked there for 5 years. I also liked the dark fluorescent wall paper on one wall which …
