This place is OLD SCHOOL Chinese complete with a full tiki drink menu! Just like in the 1950s! So cool and the food was great! I had the curry with chicken and fried rice and just about blew myself up because I couldn’t stop eating it.

A good place for Chinese food in Dale City This restaurant is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Dale Blvd and Minnieville Road. It is in a reasonably large set of stores in the middle of the group of businesses. The parking is uncovered parking lot that all the stores directly open onto. There is plenty of parking for all the stores in this lot. Our group ordered takeout from this location and I picked it up. The inside of the restaurant had a large foyer at the front of the restaurant that seemed to occupy about ⅓ of the space. There were about 6 booths lining the walls and several tables in the central seating area. There were not many people eating in the dining area but they had a healthy stream of customers picking up takeout. There did not seem to be much staff but the ones present were very friendly. The food was a little late from the time that they told us it would be ready. The food was reasonably priced and portion sizes were good. The food was very good. Overall, for the price, amount, and staff friendliness, I would visit this location in the future and recommend it to fellow travelers with the suggestion that the time the food will be ready should be viewed as an approximation. Enjoy.

I have not visited this restaurant in about 10 years, but I decided to treat my family to some takeout for Friday night. Unfortunately, I understand why we have not visited the restaurant in so long. I got 3 orders of shrimp fried rice and the cartons were filled to the brim with rice. The meat was placed on top of the rice in an attempt to make it seem like there was meat throughout the carton. There was no other meat inside of the carton. The rice was flavorless, so much so that there is a full carton of fried rice still left. Please save your money and DO NOT patronize this restaurant.

Visited 9/18/24 The food was not good. It tasted old and with no flavor. We were truly disappointed we used to visit Sampan back in the day. The rice is brown with little pieces of egg & no veggies. The best thing was the lunch price $8.95.
