Sampan

Modern Asian place with "urban" decor. Get the chefs tasting menu for first time visitors! Best deal!! Edamame dumplings all the way!!! Below is crab tacos

this place has slowly become one of my favorite places, esp. since i've been here about 3-4 times over the last 6 mos or so. my favorites are: kimchi fried rice , edamame dumplings and kobe beef satay

One of the best happy hours ever. $2, $3 and $4 plates - highlights include the bao buns , edamame dumplings , crispy brussels sprouts and kim chee fried rice . If the weather's nice, sit out back.

This was one of the BEST meals I've ever eaten! Their happy hour menu was killer and though I tried several things, their Brussel sprouts were the best damn vegetable I've ever eaten! It's a MUST try!

AMAZING FOOD. Pork buns , Kim Chee fried rice , brussel sprouts , rock shrimp . Open kitchen where you can see the men prepare greatness.

Definitely get the short rib . It was really really solid along with the Brussels sprouts , beef satay and calamari salad . It was also cool to sit at the kitchen bar and watch them cook it all.

The happy hour is amazing! Good food selection with dishes all under $4. You have to try the Jumani Fizz drink which is Champagne sake and sangria or have fun with a scorpion bowl ! My favorite place!

Absolutely wonderful. The tasting menu is an excellent choice and allows you to enjoy a number of Sampan's amazing dishes. The wine list has a good selection at several different price points.

This place is just fantastic. Sit at the chef counter to watch them prepare the multitude of great dishes. Order slow, take your time. Kimchi beef , spicy cuc salad , soup dumplings all A+. Great food.

Highly recommend the tasting menu . Portions are substantial and you have lots of choice as to what's actually included. It's impressive!

Helllllo edamame dumplings - outstanding rec from the bartender . Perfectly crisped Brussels sprouts , with a lil kick. Fine pork potsticker and shrimp dumpling , but a bit too much mint on the Bao Buns .

We cozied up in this dimly lit spot and savored the most incredible pork bao buns with shallot and mint . Don’t miss the Brussels sprouts or General Tso’s dumplings either. Read more

Go for happy hour so you can try a little of everything! Kim chee fried rice and spicy wings are my Fav. But whatever you decide you can't go wrong.

Starters include "Hot" dishes like Thai chicken wings and Berkshire pork belly banh mi , while shaken tuna tartare and Maine lobster rolls 're featured as "Cold" fare. Read more

Can't remember what it was called...something like Chef 's Flight or Chef 's Choice but it gives you options from all categories so you get a chance to sample the food. Everything was amazingly yummy!

Great options, even for vegetarian ! The shrimp and lobster dumplings , the pekin duck and the broccoli side dish recommended. The ice cream is awesome for dessert ! The service is also good.

If you come for happy hour , expect lightning fast service and a great selection of inexpensive delicious food. The edamame dumplings were melt in your mouth excellent.

Happy hour every day - menu standouts were the edamame dumplings , hot chicken bao , and Kobe hot dog .

Without doubt this is an innovative restaurant that does Asian cuisine really well . They recently changed the chef , the Korean fried chicken which once was my favourite, sadly isn't good now.

Pork Bao buns are a must, you'll want to keep ordering more! Same with the edamame dumplings ! Make sure you get a scorpion bowl to share

Tasting menu for two worth every penny. Still dreaming about the soup dumplings and Korean fried chicken . Great for a special occasion meal!

AMAZEBALLS. My lovely friends and I were enjoying the best happy hour in Philly when the waiter surprised us with free desert got each of us. I love this place.

Loved the food and the vibe. Everything is small plates so best to come with 4 people so you can try a lot of dishes.

Loved the pork belly satay , lobster ceviche small plate , beef fried rice & scallop main plate! So many fun things to order and is served sharing style!

Best happy hour !! Try the kim chee fried rice , beef satay , kobe slider , kobe hot dog and pork bao buns !!

Don’t miss the Edamame Dumpling . Fragrant with truffle and served in sake broth, it’s the chef’s signature. Via City Eats.com Read more

The Kimchee fried rice was so good and so comforting!! We also had the glazed salmon which was overcooked unfortunately. The filet was very ordinary as well . Fun place, we would go back.

Spicy chicken bao buns , waygu on a stick, bbq kebabs , edamame dumplings , and a must get is the ice cream sushi .

Great place for sharing so that you can taste even more of their delicious offerings. Don't forget the sake !

The whole place is amazing, and Chef Kamla makes every visit worthwhile. Sit on the kitchen bar to get up close & personal with your food. And make sure to get a Scorpion Bowl !

Try the chef 's tasting. Great way to try out multiple dishes. Everything was delicious. Small plates that pack a big taste!

Big size and big flavor describe the lunch menu 's tasty pork banh mi . Take a stroll to the back of the restaurant for the vividly colored Graffiti Bar .

Great restaurant I've only gone for happy hour and never for dinner . I have to check it off my list of things to do ????

Happy hour deals include dumplings , bao buns , and a Kim Chee Fried Rice "side" that most people could consider dinner for $5

You like be this place! The short ribs are phenomenal and the back alley bar attached is perfect twist:)

Fantastic Pan-Asian. Dumplings , pork buns , fried rice , and Dan Dan noodles all fantastic.

We had the restaurant week tasting menu and our favorite dishes were the soup dumplings and XO scallops .

Add the besty,, large, and dangerous Scorpian Bowls, and Sampan wins. Michael Schulson's menu is quite tasty but it's all about the punch out back in the Gravitti Bar . [Ultimate Al Fresco List] Read more

Get there for Happy Hour 4-7pm and enjoy cheap eats and awesome drinks. The edamame wontons are amazing!

Try the wonton crab tacos . An amazing way to start dinner

Crab wanton tacos , seared tuna , pad thai shrimp and spicy crispy shrimp are great. Brussel sprouts are ok.

Loved the outdoor seating . Had the lobster ceviche , potstickers and pork bao were amazing. Highly recommend this place!

The dumplings are some of the best food I have ever had. Also, they are on the happy hour menu that runs everyday to seven.

I love the Kimchi fried rice it's absolutely awesome! I have never been disappointed!

The food was amazing - try the crab wonton tacos and the edamame dumplings . But service was TERRIBLE

The Korean Beef Satay is so good!!

So delicious!!! We did the tasting menu and everything was excellent!!!
