Good food and fast service

Our favorite Chinese restaurant!

It is a good place no so expensive and the food is alwas delicious and make you full

I was there on Sunday March 10th and had amazing service and food. Highly recommend.

Great service great price great food

Amazing food and kind people, we get takeout here almost every week.

This place is what we call a local fave. Out of towners will probably be unimpressed and underwhelmed. But we got history with this restaurant in this city. If you can get past the somewhat uneven service and the dated cafeteria style décor you will like the food.

Enjoyed our meal. Singapore noodles . Broccoli and garlic and vegetable fried rice flavours all on point! Vegetarian options: There is enough to choose a from for a vegetarian meal

The eggplant put on plain white rice, is unbelievably good, sweet and sour pork is up there too

Got there 25 min to close. Food was hot n fresh. And delicious, and pretty reasonable price.. had combo 3 to go. Ill be back.

Great food

Old school Can-Chinese food, but it is well worth a visit.

So welcoming and the food is delicious. Very caring team. Thank you

Delicious and Hot!

Worth the hour drive to get awesome Chinese food! Best in NB so far. Fast, delicious, hot and fresh ingredients. Prices are very good. And lots of choices. Our families new go to, bar none! A++++

Best Chinese food in town. Staff is really friendly.

We got the Dinner for 3 and really enjoyed it! Food was fresh and hot, lady at the front door helped put it in the vehicle, very great service and extremely friendly Parking: Strip mall parking lot Kid-friendliness: I brought my daughter and they were very nice to her and saw I needed help while I had her Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.

Sat there for half an hour. They never came to take our order. We got up and left.

Been to this place probably five times now. Don t go for the atmosphere go for the delicious food outstanding best Chinese food I have in this province.

The food was great. Great portion size for take out order

Great food and lots of it

First time there and food was just great,will return for sure I dud returned today and was great someone was asking if they have buffet,I did ask the girl there she said no but they all you can eat Food

This restaurant has quick friendly service and they make tasty food! You know its good when the people are lined up to get it! My go-to menu item is their General Tso chicken. Combos are very good too! (chicken chow mein, eggroll). We will be back.

The best, the best, the best... WOW... delishious food. You will not be disappointed.

Great food, best in the city in my opinion.

If youre looking for the best Chinese food in all of Saint John hands down please call this restaurant youll 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.

Food is always fresh and fast when ordering takeout. I especially love curry chicken. Egg rolls are quite yummy too and always taste like they are fried in fresh oil. That s a good sign for knowing the kitchen cares about quality.

The best!

good food and excellent buffet

The chicken fried rice is the best in the city. And the beef and broccoli. And the wonton soup. The combos are huge. Just go! <3

Best canadian Chinese in saint john

The server insisted she wanted a tip and was rude while requesting for a tip. Food as good though

The food is always

My wife and I got the egg rolls, shrimp rolls, chicken low mein, and shanghai noodles. Noodles were lovely and chewy. Protein in the shanghai was fresh. Portions were massive. Service was prompt. Ill be back. Parking: Lots available.

I got the Dinner for Two. Not a bad price. Comes with lots of Chicken Fries Rice and Chicken Chow Mein.

update your prices - combo 1 shows cost of 11.50 plus tax. i ordered combo 1 and total was over $16 tax in. egg roll and chicken balls were refried and very burnt

First time coming here and wow it was delicious!!! Everything was so hot and fresh and not dried out like most other Chinese places in the city. The service was great as well! My new favourite Chinese spot

Never had Chinese delivery that I had to let cool down on arrival super good an quick

Food was awesome

Couldnt have asked for fresher and well prepared Chinese food. Vegetarian options: Chef accommodation on Veg Kid-friendliness: Family oriented restaurant.

First time in last night. Quality and quantity for a good price. Restaurant looked clean. Staff was friendly and service was quick. This is now my go to for chinese.

Location was handy for noon time lunch.Should of went at supportive as I didnt realize how big their servings were Staff was friendly and helpful with menu.Will go again several times

5star

A long-time favourite and our first choice when ordering in with friends. Good serving sizes and prices. The spicy dishes are pleasantly hot.

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.

Couldnt pay with debit for delivery ordered elsewhere get with the times hung up on me for saying it

Best Chinese food!!!

Best Chinese in the city! The staff are all wonderful!

Friendly, fast and awesome food!!

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

Best chinese food in town!

Always good food

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

Always Friendly staff,I really enjoy eating here!! They have great choices of combos !!! Food is always fresh and delicious!!

Friendly staff, delicious food!!

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

Dine in is not back as stated on their website. It is take out only. Im 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 wouldnt 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.

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.

Food is the best in the west side .

Very good

Very good !!!

Food was great, hot and plenty of it.

Fast clean courteous service

Best Chinese food in Saint John!

Best in this city

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 wasnt any flavor to anything I had.

Food was aweful.

Great American Chinese food! Very nice staff.

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

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

Best Chinese restaurant in the city.

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.

I didnt 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

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.

Awe...some... Great food, good service

Food was little dry

Food was excellent. Good service and fair prices

Awesome fresh, clean place best tips.

My favorite restaurant, we go quite often, the food is fantastic and the service is always great!

Good food, really good service each time I have been there, plenty of free parking. Enjoy!

This place is amazing! Will not eat at any other Chinese food place... very happy and pleasant people

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!

Only had combo 5... Chicken balls, rice, beef and broccoli with egg roll. Ive 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!

PERFECT!!!! Every single time we order here, it is well worth it !!!!!!!!

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.

Best food in town!

Best Chinese food in the area

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

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

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

Concerned I may have food poisoning. I feel sick.

Good food fast service

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

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!

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

Best Chinese food around, love their eggrolls!!

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.

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

Love their food!! Always have a positive experience

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

Quality of their food has decreased in the past year.

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.

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

put order in wait 15minutes done in out awesome combos good food and good price

They close at 9pm , I called at 8:57pm and they took my huge order and waited for me to pick it up. Food was so fresh, highly recommend!!

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

Lovely service and tasty!

My go to for the best Chinese food in New Brunswick

Awesome food and service. My new fave spot.

Quickly prepared and fresh. Used to have another regular Chinese spot but this is our new one. And its cheaper.

Great General Tao.

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.

Food was great

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

Excellent food every time we visit.

Food was good and came really fast.

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

This is my familys go to choice for Chinese food.

My Family and I love the Chinese food there its the best in Saint John.

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.

We have been going to this restaurant for awhile now I think we are addicted to the food well the chicken wings anyway lol the food is always fresh and hot the service is amazing very friendly love this place

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

Various & delicious menus,seafood,vegetables,meat,noodles ! Clean,friendly! Black bean is recommendable menu!

Authentic Cantonese style Chinese food.

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

Excellent Chinese food! This is our go to place in Saint John.

My friend and I both got combo meals, and we both loved them. Its 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.

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

Amazing Szechuan style fried rice, amazing spicy salt squid, delicious General Tsos Chicken, tasty combos. I like spicy and more authentic chinese food and find this is the best in Saint John.
