Our Guestbook
“ We've been ordering from here for over 8 years. It is one of our go-toos—amazing gluten-free options and great portion sizes, enough for lunch the next day. Service is excellent, and it's a local neighborhood Chinese food place. I'm super picky about eating out and about where to go, both because I'm picky but also having a gluten-free person ”
“ I’ve been a loyal fan of Sampan ever since they were a full service dine-in restaurant in the Saanich Plaza. They made the decision to close down the larger restaurant and changed their format to focus on delivery and take away and they’ve done a great job of it. I’ve ordered delivery from their place many many times over the years and have always been impressed with the quality and freshness of whatever I order. Their prices are not the cheapest but I don’t mind paying a bit more when the food is always on point. I only have one pic from the meal I ordered last night but I will endeavor to remember to post more next time I order. Last night’s feast consisted of their Pork Chow Mein, Breaded Almond Chicken (always so tasty and crispy!), Salt and Pepper (chili pepper) Chicken and their Szechuan Fish. One of the only restaurants that understands that fried food in a take out container becomes soggy fast so they always poke vent holes in the containers to allow the steam to escape. Never have I had soggy fried food from Sampan. There is also the hot food bar in-store which offers a great selection of food options for take-away at a very good price. You can get a 2 or 3 item meal with your choice of fried rice or chow mein (or both as I usually get) and it’s more than enough food for the hungriest person. ”
“ Our company ordered a large take-out lunch from Sampan to celebrate Chinese New Year, and everything was fantastic! Highly recommend! ”
“ Excellent GF Chinese food!!! All of these dishes are gf and taste as good as they look (they don’t look gf ) Huge portions - two people already full and it looks like nothing is missing. Even included sesame seeds and top shelf GF soy sauce! I’ve been GF for over 15 years and the size of this gluten free menu is unmatched! ”
“ The food is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I love their Almond Chicken and BBQ Pork, the flavors are amazing, and the portions are generous. Recommended ”
“ The Roast duck they make is one of the most famous in Victoria, excellently prepared and very delicious. It's our first choice for dining here or for takeout whenever we crave Peking duck. ”
“ We had a group takeout here for Chinese New Year lunch, food is delicious!! Everyone enjoyed it! Will order again! ”
“ The food here is great. My favorite is soy sauce chicken leg, wonton and rice noodles, tofu and mushrooms, garlic green beans, and curry beef flank. They also have the best shrimp and egg on rice I have ever had, which is my go-to for comfort food. ”
