Meal Ticket had the scoop on Izakaya chef/TLC star Michael Schulson's Sampan back on July 13, but we've just snagged a few more details on the tour-of-Asia menu. Check out the latest teases after the jump. (Menu will be affordable, with prices hovering between $7 and $29.) The restaurant (122 S. 13th St.) will open sometime in November.
- Edamame dumpling with black truffles, onion sprouts and sake
- Tuna tataki summer rull with ponzu gelee, somen noodles and chiles
- Skate wing sandwich with oshinko, arugula and tartar sauce
- "Steak and eggs": braised short rib with egg and Asian pear
- Veal tonkatsu burger with panko, kimchee and katsu sauce
- Young fried rice with shrimp, gold chives and congee
- Crispy frog legs with Chinese celery and blue cheese
[...] We’re hearing that chef Michael Schulson’s Sampan (122 S. 13th St.), which we first noted back in July, will be opening next Friday, Sept. 18. More soon; for now, check out our interview with the dude and some menu details we posted back in August. [...]
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.
