Sampan Express - Saanich, British Columbia

Basically like your typical mall food court Chinese food eatery. A little pricey but I guess what isn't these days. The beef stew and sweet and sour pork are fantastic

I've been getting meals from the hot table for a few years. I sometimes order separate dishes from the menu. The food is always good and the service is great!

Best restaurant in the island! Foods are tasty, staff are very kind. I am so addicted to their spicy tofu and pepper beef with chives lol. Their hot table dishes are nice, but the menus you can order are even better. Recommend to anyone who likes Asian flavour!

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.

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. Read more
