The real menu at Sampan is fabulous. I just went there last night with some friends and fell in love. The food, atmosphere and service were amazing. I was shocked that the restaurant had been open less than a week. Some of my favorite items were: edamame dumplings, "philly cheesesteak", lobster roll, brussel sprouts (which I normally won't eat), filet, snapper and the soft serve ice cream. The bonus is the price - this didn't break my weekend budget and it's a restaurant that is affordable to eat at on a frequent basis - not just for special occasions.
