This is my first time trying the roast pork belly and sauté string beans. It was lovely. The meat was moist and the string beans were perfectly seasoned. I would recommend both. Finally, the customer service was the best.

The entrees were awful. Quality has really gone downhill. Lung pai chicken was borderline inedible- a ton of celery floating in flavorless brown water. Spare ribs were disgusting- slimy and fishy-tasting. Taro dumplings were ok but didn't come with any dip, not even the usual soy sauce.
The free soup was the only thing that was decent. Waste of $50!

The steamed pork buns were tasty, the crispy neef with sesame was very tasty but not crispy? The cashew chicken was a flavorful dish by
crispy vegetables, and very few
cashews, not crispy. The sweet and sour pork was decent, with the pork kept separate from the sauce. It had no bell peppers, onions nor pineapple, just a lot of pork, and a little bit skimpy amount of thin sauce. Overall the flavors were good, I would give 4.5 stars if I could, based on the bund and the veggies in the cashew chicken which was not just cut up deep fried chicken, and the flavorful beef.

Today is the beginning of Mother's Day weekend. I ordered Peking Duck from Sampan to celebrate this special day with my 90 year old mother. It was a huge disappointment. Both the duck and the tortillas were straight from their fridge. They did not give me the meat from the whole duck. I ordered a whole duck. In their picture on Door Dash web, they showed buns(bags) instead of the cold tortillas. With this terrible experience, I can no longer trust this restaurant. This makes me so sad for this special day.

much tastier than I thought. The General Tsos chicken was crispy and just the right amount of spicy. I wish there was a bit more sauce but it was very good. The white rice was also surprisingly good.
