Sampan Philadelphia Reviews
The food either was too salty or no flavor.
The bathrooms were gross and I wasn't comfortable using it. Nice waitress though.
Super good food, lots of small plates.
Really liked the truffle dumplings, kimchi fried rice, tacos etc the vegetarian tasting menu was a good price for the food
Asian fusion in downtown Philadelphia
Tasty food late in the evening. We had flown in for the work conference. Not everything’s open late on Sunday evening, so our choices were more limited. This is in a very vibrant area of the city with lots of people still walking around after 8 PM.
From pork belly bao to crispy duck and delicate branzino,
From pork belly bao to crispy duck and delicate branzino, Sampan's tasting menu delivers big flavors without the big price tag. At $56, it's a great way to sample a variety of dishes in one sitting. The pork belly bao and Kung Pao chicken w
Everything here is good.
The busy atmosphere and open kitchen with bar top makes it feel really lively. Always a good time.

10/10 every time! I've been here for a birthday, happy hour, sips, before an event and it's always a hit! I highly recommend the 7 course tasting menu if it's your first time. The portions are insane for the price and you get to try so
I cannot say enough about this restaurant.
We arrived at 8:30 on a Sat night after walking out of the restaurant that we booked reservations. Immediately when you walk in there is a great vibe. They were full but were able to seat us at the "chefs table" - which we loved! It's
Service was excellent and so was the food.
It's one of my go to restaurants when ever I visit the city. The edamame dumplings are legendary!
Sampan was a perfect spot for our date night.
We wanted to try as much as possible so ordered from the tasting menu. It was a lot of food and we ended up with some leftovers. For the first courses came out quickly, but they paced everything really well. The cheesesteak bao and Dan Dan dumplings

Great Asian Fusion food with many flavors and textures that delight. Ordered the chef's tasting menu (7 plates) for two people. Truly impossible to pick a favorite. The edamame dumplings were a delicious choice. I recommend the grilled branzin
Sampan has been around a while and it's easy to see why.
We dined early and it was already starting to fill up on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is dimly lit and intimate without feeling cramped like some city establishments. Service was attentive and professional. The kitchen turns out the food qu
Unstuffy culinary hotspot
We came here for dinner while visiting friends who live in the area, and had a wonderful meal! The ambiance is upscale and trendy without being stuffy, and it was very clear that this is a culinary hotspot. The staff were professional and friendly -

Delicious Asian fusion in Philly
Came here on a suggestion of Philadelphia colleagues, the menu is unique and interesting. The tasting menu is definitely a great bang for your buck. The cheesesteak bao buns and waygu beef were amazing. Would highly recommend.
A party for your sense
What a find. This is a great place for dining with an amazing tasting menu of 7 different items for a very reasonable price. Each dish was a taste sensation!

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Sampan Philadelphia. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sampan Philadelphia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sampan Philadelphia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Sampan Philadelphia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sampan Philadelphia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
