Reviews of Sampan Restaurant - (Dine In is back) (Catering)

Christa Fox

Best Chinese food around, love their eggrolls!!

Kent Farnsworth

My go to place for local chinese food and canadian chinese food.

Kate Burkholder

Excellent as usual. They are closing the restaurant portion and going to a take out only format towards the end of September though.

Derek Wasson

Always friendly and delicious. (Call ahead to see if they have dine-in, if that's what you want.) We really enjoyed our lemon chicken and Shanghai noodles.

Gerry Webster

Dinner for 4 was a great value! Hot and sour soup was just OK.

roger lejeune

food tastes ok, quantity is ok, owner can speak Mandarin. service is ok too.

Alexis

I miss the dim sum, but the more traditional dishes are always delicious.

Jim Halpert

Chinese Eggplant, Cantonese Chow Mein, Beef Tenderloin w/black pepper sauce. Great food and service.

Sassy Selassie

Best Canadian Chinese place in town. Their egg rolls are made fresh!

Shianne Sherwood

Thank you...for existing. I almost gave up on finding decent chinese in New Brunswick. Out of the park meal! Great servings and and flavour!

Charles Vignard

First time ordering from Sampan. Not impressive! First thing I saw when I entered the restaurant was a dog laying across the counter ????. I also found there wasn't any flavor to anything I had.

George Ingraham

Food was aweful.

Tracey Galbraith

Good value for money! If you are looking for something under the 10$ in Saint John, that's the place to go!

stemietree

Patrick Flowers

First of all Sampan Restaurant ,did not have a dine in. From October 1st 2018 to September 2nd 2019 .2nd We were NOT closed for 1 month. We took a week vacation first week of July, and the last week of July. We are back to having a dining room. We are open everyday, except Tuesdays, From 11:30am to 9 pm. Phone number is 672-9050. I just want to say thank you for the comments.

Best wonton soup in the city. Try it, you will be hooked.

loretta louis-martin

So disappointed, after 50 years this place has gone to take out only. I travelled over an hour and so loved Sampan.

Sandra Tucker

I read the reviews and thought it should be good, but my experience was terrible! I ordered two wanton soup and one seafood soup. The seafood is OK, quite salty though. It is acceptable. The wanton soup is a disaster: spoiled meatball inside the wanton, horrible stale smell, very stinky! We had to throw out everything. I was afraid I would get sick after this meal although I had only one bite. The server is probably the owner too. She did not even offer a cup of water, bad food and very poor service. May if you order a lot of nice food, they would have better service. To us, this is the worst dining in experience.

Troy Clarke

My fork and glass were dirty, food was bland and tasteless. Will never go back again. Not worth the money.

Les Grieve

If you're looking for the best Chinese food in all of Saint John hands down please call this restaurant you'll be amazed with this service the pricing and the quantity and quality of the food. Dine in or take out with very fare delivery cost.

Brock MacDonald

Really good food and the pricing is not bad either. Their take on a buffet is really nice too, instead of a buffet table there are about a dozen options they will make fresh in unlimited amounts (you can mix and match). I would definitely recommend it.

Kai Hui

Leah Fitzgerald

Ariel Li

One of the best Chinese places in SJ. Go with a friend for the all you can eat to try some of everything brought out plate after plate. Generous combos, veggies not overcooked, sauces not pure sugar. Even very off hours the food is still fresh. Take the time to eat in, staff is great!

Zack Young

Very good

Theora Worden

Amazing food here! Great value large servings and variety!!!!

thierryluka “Guyto” verna

Very good !!!

TheGreatBlackAbyss

Dine in is not back as stated on their website. It is take out only. I'm not sure about delivery. My meal was disappointing to say the least. I ordered Sampan chicken which at one time was quite tasty. The vegetables were swimming in something I wouldn't call a sauce, it was primarily cornstarch and sodium. The chicken was in a thick batter, no flavor. Needless to say a few bites were more than enough. The remainder went to the trash. I would not recommend this dish.

Jennifer (sidekyck)

Lovely service and tasty!

B H

I didn't know junk food could go that far, grease, sugar and no taste. Not worth the money, I am deeply sorry I had to throw away most of it

Sean McKinley

Best chinese food in town!

Sam

Only had combo 5... Chicken balls, rice, beef and broccoli with egg roll. I've eaten there twice and the food was consistently good. The portion of broccoli seems as though your getting a whole head of broccoli. I think this is awesome!

IAN LAMBERT

Staff was great. She was very helpful and full of cheer. Food was tasty and very filling.cant wait till next visit.

Maxim Robichaud

Fantastic! On 2021-07-17, when I heard that dine in all-you-can-eat was available, I jumped at the chance. Every dish was delicious, crispy hot egg rolls, chicken chop suey, sweet and sour chicken balls, chicken wings, moo goo gai pan, chicken fried rice, beef broccoli, honey garlic spare ribs, and my favourite, sweet and sour pork. We did not try the wonton soup but something tells me that would have been top notch too.

Barry White

Food is the best in the west side .

Tanya Scribbans

Absolutely love eating here!! The food is consistent and delicious. Even when I get a little hankering I can easily be satisfied with an order of fried rice. This is my fav place to get Chinese food!!! Portions are great, multiple meals out of a combo.

Donald Small

Awesome fresh, clean place best tips.

Montey Ngo

Best Chinese food in Saint John!

Judy Rouse

Food was excellent , service outstanding would highly recommend Sampan to anyone

benjamin gagnon

Great General Tao.

Alison Janes

Always my first pick for Chinese food in SJ. Hot, fresh, large portions and fair price. Fast and friendly. Sometimes we get dinner for 5 for a big variety and we get about 10 meals from that.

C F

This is my family's go to choice for Chinese food.

Don Bizeau

This is my wife and I’s new spot. We had the combos, egg roll, rice, and chicken balls and beef and broccoli or sweet n sour pork and moo goo GUI pan. For just under 12$. The taro tea is excellent as well

Marcel Bourque

Food was good and came really fast.

Mark Richards

We frequently get food from here its always top notch. Very freindly staff and nice sit down area. Highly recommended if your looking for Asian food on the westside of SJ.

Lewis Donovan

(Review based on a one-time experience) From now on, unless otherwise, this place is my first choice for Chinese food in the area. Pros: - So far, best General Tao in Saint John (but, according to the taste, I’m debating if they use Ketchup in their sauce. There was a lack of balance in the flavours of the sauce); - Portions were really generous; - Staff was welcoming & kind; - Food was well cooked and hot; - Place looked clean (even if it was just for take out); - Waiting time was short, so fast service; - Egg rolls were really good; - Combos available. Cons: - The possible use of Ketchup in the sauce (if not the lack of balance anyway); - They use plastic bags and styrofoam to wrap the food and the orders; - General Tao was the most expensive I’ve seen, but there was a lot of it, which compensate; - Chicken fried rice lacks flavours & taste; - No chopsticks in the bag with the order. Overall, great little family restaurant with a good menu, tasty food & excellent service. I, not only recommence, but will be ordering from this place myself again.

Jon S

Always a go-to Chinese restaurant. This is definitely in our top 3 in the city.

Dawn Harvey

Absolutely the best Chinese restaurant in the city hands down. On September 24th they only have take out only. Very friendly staff.

Irene Chen

Food awesome. but delivery getting frustrating since constantly arrives with sauce all over place. last 2 orders anyway. not sure how hard is to keep upright and not shake but foods good thankfully. would give 5* if could get food without sauce all over place. Just ordered and will change to 5* if arrices without the mess.

Karen Byers

My friend and I both got combo meals, and we both loved them. It's hard to screw up sweet and sour chicken, and the chicken lo mein and spare ribs were both excellent. Service was fast (which you expect at a Chinese restaurant) and courteous. Great place to go for lunch or dinner after a day exploring the Irving Nature Park.

Justin Savoie

Best food in town!

Misty-Dawn Anderson

Always good food

5star

Christine Lagasse

Should let customers know in advance their closing for over a month....consecutively

Carole Calnan

Called today at 1:30pm to receive a voice message saying they are now take out only, open from 3pm to 9pm and closed on Tuesdays. Sadly looks like the best place for Chinese in Saint John is not long for this world.

Morel Ouellette

This is out go-to Chinese restaurant. Place is clean and prices are good.
