Best Chinese Joint in North Carolina

by ifthecar

Don't let the location fool or turn you off. This place is truly a hidden gem. I have NEVER had better chinese food east of Hong Kong. You will not be disappointed and make sure you order from the authentic menu. But don't worry, even from the normal menu the food is hot, fresh, and amazin. The Hot and Sour soup, dumplings, and fish in black bean sauce are great.

• Pros: Authentic chinese food
• Cons: Bad location, but worth it. I promise!!

The Best Authentic Chinese Food I've Had in Winston Salem

by catsmh

This restaurant serves the most authentic Chinese food I've had in the area. It is head and shoulders over its competition. The ambiance is a little low rent but the service is good and the food is artfully seasoned.

• Pros: The Food
• Cons: The Decor

great authentic Chinese food, family and child friendly.

We have been coming to Sampan Restaurant since 1995. This restaurant is owned by one person, who while suffering the tragic death of her husband in 2004, NEVER even took one day off or closed the restaurant. With that said it may explain the one star rating of the review above in 2004.

The owner and staff of Sampan restaurant are extremely child friendly and will adjust any dish to meet even the childrens requirements or needs. The "authentic chinese" menu, is truly that. Traditional homestyle Chinese dishes, which originated in the owner hometown of Hongkong. Even those will be adjusted to your needs. (Not as spicy, salty etc). There is even room for family style celebrations in a side room, if you make a reservation one day ahead or in the morning. We have celebrated birthdays and anniversaries there with up to 30 people and brought our own music performers in and flowers in.

Sandy will always make you feel at home at Sampan restaurant, if you give her the opportunity to do so.

We highly recommend this restaurant.
