First let me say that I am not a foodie. I really like their Moo Shi chicken. I usually get 2 extra pancakes and extra sauce. This can feed me for about 4 days. The people there are nice and quick to take your order. It is a takeout, but they have chairs to sit on while you wait if you did not call ahead. I think you get good food at a very reasonable price. read more

I haven't ordered food from this place in a while because the last time I did it was not good. But I thought I would try it again to see if it had improved and unfortunately it hasn't. It seems to have gotten worse. The egg rolls are greasy, the Singapore rice noodles are just spicy hot and lack flavor. The duck sauce that they provide with the egg rolls tastes like it's been watered down, the mustard sauce tastes like chemicals. What a waste of money. read more

Their food is not as good as it was about a year ago .Beef and green peppers with fried rice. Beef was tough and didn't have as much peppers as it once had. read more

Quality of food has greatly decreased over the past few times I have been there. Looking for great Chinese not overpriced mediocre

Dinner at @sampan . Anyone who knows me personally KNOWS I don't do Chinese carry outs. I don't care where we are it's a no for me dawg. Anywho I grew up this AMAZING Chinese carry out so this will be the only one I patronage. I might be biased but oh well! The food here is so flavorful and they give you a huge amount for a great value! I literally had 3 meals off of this one order!! Also do NOTTTTT get me started on how bomb the crab Rangoon is here!!! I've tried so many other places and NOTHING compares. They are also super timely! This place always reminds me of my childhood is it's a 1000000/10 for me! follow me on all socials to keep up w| my food adventures @melrosemunchies read more

Sampan - 903. General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Dale City, Virginia

I've been coming here for 30+ years. It's been good until recently. The pork fried rice was dried out and didn't have much pork in it. The general tsos was tough, and the beef with scallions was sweet/greasy. Must be the cook. Spent $55+ October 31 drove 20 miles as it was a Halloween tradition to get Chinese. SAD. read more

Subgum wonton soup is the best. Raised on NYC Chinese food and been going here since we moved and found it in 1989. Best around!

I just picked up a quart of chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli, an order of spring rolls, an order of crab rangoon, and an order of General Tsos chicken. I'd go back and demand a refund but I'm not sure the $52 is worth the hassle. There was something really off about the spring rolls. I'm not sure what it was but it tasted like it had spoiled cabbage in it. In the trash they went. The rice in the Chicken Fried rice was mushy with very little chicken. The beef in the beef and broccoli was gummy and It had an odd flavor like it was more of a gravy like in a stroganoff. It was nasty. The General Tsos chicken had an ok flavor but it was all breading and it was hard as a rock. Don't waste your money. read more

Never had any issues and my food is always good. The half and half drink is the best tea I've had

We've been ordering from Sampan for over 25 years. I have tried other Chinese restaurants however nothing compares to Sampan. Love their General Tso's chicken and my daughter loves the chicken lo mein. Don't let the small restaurant fool you, they have big tastes inside. I would recommend Sampan any day of the week. Still the best in Dale City. read more

My favorite place to get Singapore rice noodles !! The most flavor, crunchy veggies and the noodles were perfectly cooked with that nice smoky wok flavor. I would eat this everyday if I could read more

Really poor customer service, one of the lady was yelling at her co-worker while attest 20 customers were in the store.

You have always been my go-to for Chinese food, but today your service and delivery time was RIDICULOUS! I was told an hour, OK, these days that is kind of normal, but an hour and a half when I live less than 2 miles from your location....NOT ACCEPTABLE! Sick of places thinking they can do less, charge more and expect you to just take it. I've seen what service looks like and this is not it! I will probably never order from you again. I've been a customer for 20 years. Gonna have to say see ya Sampan read more

We had high hopes for Sampan based on the reviews, we ordered the general tso's chicken, fried rice, spicy Szechuan style string beans, and vegetable lomein. Unfortunately, everything was super disappointing. The chicken was either waaaay over cooked or reused from the day before, it was super tough and dry. The rice also didn't taste or look fresh at all and had zero flavor. The lomein wasn't bad but the vegetables in it were barely cooked so they were basically raw. The string beans were okay, I was just confused because they just didn't have any flavor which surprised me considering they were mixed with onions and a "spicy" Szechuan sauce. Overall, it was a super disappointing experience and I wouldn't recommend ordering from here. Save yourself the grief and order from Chiyoshi. read more

The food was very poor quality, I purchased it for some guests at my house and after a few spoonfuls they chose not to partake. I will never patronize this establishment again. read more

We're regulars here and absolutely love it! The qualities always great! The foods flavor never changes so you always know you're going to get great food! It's clean! I love the covid safe set up when picking up. We always get the same thing combination fried rice, lo mein noodles, beef and broccoli, chicken broccoli, sesame chicken, and Singapore noodles, I'd definitely recommend all of them! Oh and our orders always ready in 15 min read more

Changes were made in their menu selections, less items, more costly. Understandable with the virus business have to restructure. But customer service, timely service, and poor experience with the customer isn't acceptable with me. Especially being a customer of this facility for over 5 years. There was no other venue I purchased Chinese food from, except now. I will not and can not spend my money on substandard restaurants, in this climate! Ex Sampan Customer read more

That bad experience I posted previously was a one time event. Maybe they had extenuating circumstances, shortage of people working, no drivers. Idk. But it has never happened again. Their food is always Delicious, Hot, and delivered quickly. Someone said Let's order from another Chinese place...I said oh, heck no. Sampan is the best!! read more

I'm sad to report that Sampan has been going downhill. They have cut back their hours, cut their menu by probably half, raised prices, reduced portion sizes and now their lunch specials no longer come with an egg roll or soup but the price is the same. They have been my go to spot for the better part of 20 years but I'm going to have to find someplace new since they have stop making some of my favorite dishes. No more Sweet and Sour except for Chicken, no more Moo Shi, no more Crispy Sesame Beef. read more

Food is always consistent and tastes good. No complaints here! They are also accommodating if you need to make changes/substitutions which is always a plus. read more

Never disappointed. Food is delicious! Been going here for over 20 years. Hands down, one of best places to get Chinese takeout. Food is fresh, generous portions, and great flavor. Highly recommend! read more

Samoan use to be good years ago If I if they got different owners now or what but there food is old stale food. Order the combo, egg foo young and an order of soup also the almond cookies. All of it was stale!! I ended throwing it all in the trash. I spent almost $20.00 for me and my son and it all went into the trash. I don't want to get food poisoning and possible dying. It's terrible to order food and get garbage instead. read more

Anyone who has lived in Woodbridge for any amount of time knows Sampan is the best place for Chinese takeout. Fast, good, and large portions. Prices have gone up since re-opening which is understandable. Happy to support a local business! read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant. I wanted pork fried rice to go along with my dinner. I was pleasantly surprised. The rice was extremely flavorful. They didn't skimp on any of the ingredients. It took about 10 mins and it was done. Since I enjoyed the rice, I'll try a few of their other dishes. read more

I ate lunch here, take out, on August 1, 2016, around 1145am. I walked in and ordered the Generals Tso Chicken. It was a big portion! I also ordered two spring rolls, and some sweet sour sauce. Yum! I had a Sunkist to drink. The restaurant was clean. My order was taken quickly and my food order came within just a couple minutes. I'm impressed with how they packaged my to-go bag. It was easy to carry and easy to transport. Important. I took it back to work. The food was warm and fresh. There will be leftovers. The food quality was great. For Chinese take out this is an excellent choice!! I will come back. Check out my pics. My total cost was $15.58 Yes, the price was higher than I expected for lunch, but the portion was big, I bought two extra spring rolls, and SS Sauce. I will have the rest for supper. So, not a bad deal overall. Overall - excellent place!! read more

It was alright. Honestly not as good as I thought it would be. The crab ragoons were really good but the fried chicken (which was the reason we went there) was not good at all. I mean it wasn't NOT good but it definitely didn't give "Chinese spot fried chicken" if you know what I mean. The lo Mein and fried rice were alright. But they definitely could've used more seasoning. read more

This used to be my favorite spot. I've ordered from here for over 10 years. Used to love their lunch specials - General tsos, lo mein, spring rolls, you name it. Recently quality has really gone down hill. Meat quality just isn't the same, parts of the order has been missing, etc. Really a shame! So many friends and family have gone there for years. Finally a couple of weeks ago there was an industrial size staple in my egg rolls. Yes, a staple. Haven't been back since. read more

Hands-down the best Chinese food in the USA...The food is amazing. I am a lifelong customer

zero star in my opinion. made the biggest deal about attempting to order a lunch special with lo mein instead of rice....not realizing not everyone eats rice! went back and forth with me and had the nastiest attitude. I ended up hanging up the phone because I was so frustrated! read more

Our favorite Chinese food in Woodbridge. We can't even get them delivered to our home anymore cause we're not in their delivery circle, but we still go out and get it for pick up to take home. Love their Lo Mein, Wonton Soup, General Tso's, egg rolls and chicken&broccoli! read more

I ordered the following meals today and was very disappointed: General Tso's Chicken combo, w/Chicken Fried Rice, Spring Roll: This was the best of all that I received. I would get this again. The chicken had just the right amount of sauce, crispiness and flavor. They had the best fried rice I have ever eaten, it was light, fluffy and flavorful Sweet & Sour Pork combo, w/Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Drop Soup: I was not real happy with this. The breading on the pork was extra thick and very hard. Curry Beef: This has got to be the worst curry beef I have ever eaten. The sauce was over-thickened and extremely salty. I dumped the entire order in the trash for a loss of $10.95. Pu-Pu Platter (For 2): There menu does not state what comes in the platter; it is fried chicken wings (very greasy but ok), beef on a stick (tender and flavorful), egg rolls (the biggest egg rolls I have ever seen and the wrap is not tough like some), shrimp toast (it was shrimp mush and was quite unappealing), and some kind of fried wanton that was rock hard. They need to identify the contents of their platter because I am used to ones containing ribs and crab rangoon in place of the fried wanton and shrimp toast. I would never get anything here except maybe Generals Tso's Chicken and fried rice. read more

Worst Chinese I've ever eaten in my life. Hot and sour soup is disgusting. Please don't waste you money, anywhere else is better, I promise

Sampan in Dale City is the ONLY place we ever order Chinese food from in the area. We have tried a couple other places, but either they are not good, or the roaches falling out of the menu just turned us off. So, Sampan is a carry-out only place. The food is ALWAYS very tasty. We only order carry-out and have never used their delivery. Carry-out orders are always ready within 10 to 15 minutes. The workers are always nice and I am in and out in under a minute. read more

I would give this place four stars, but the prices drop them down to 3. I wouldn't characterize the staff as rude. Curt is a bit more descriptive, but I don't go there to make friends. The food is quite tasty. The Sampan chicken is fantastic. The spring rolls are great, but there is something about their duck sauce that just isn't quite right. It's worth a try, and the food is consistent and tasty if you don't mind paying a couple bucks more than you probably should. read more

This is THE best Chinese Food I have had since I moved to PWC about six years ago. When I moved here I was sad to leave my favorite Chinese place back home in Michigan, (Best Chinese food I have had in my entire life). I have tried almost every Chinese restaurant in the Woodbridge/Montclair area and Sampan is the best. My favorite is the General Tso's chicken. This actually taste like what General Tso's should taste like, more hint of spice than sweet. Other Chinese restaurants around here make it way too sweet. Sampan gives you the option to make it as spicy as you want, so for me that means extra spicy. The fried rice is great along with the egg rolls. Crab Rangoon is hard to compare(Again, hometown Chinese place wins on that one). Other than that the lunch/dinner special portions are huge. You get your choice of entree, choice of rice, egg roll, hot and sour soup, or egg drop soup all under $10. The prices are decent and service is always prompt and courteous. I highly recommend Sampan to anybody who is looking for tasty, and affordable Chinese in the Woodbridge area. They also have an option to order your meal online. Rare for Chinese restaurants in this area. read more
