Sampan Cafe is a medium-sized restaurant offering good food at affordable prices. It's a popular spot, often busy with a predominantly Asian clientele. The restaurant has a large parking lot, although finding a spot close to the entrance can be a challenge. Diners praise the generous portions, excellent service, and delicious dishes like garlic eggplant, salted egg custard bao, and deep-fried taro and chicken feet. The restaurant serves authentic Cantonese cuisine, including lunch specials and weekend dim sum. While the atmosphere can feel quiet at times, the dining room is spacious and legit. Customers recommend the restaurant for those seeking genuine Cantonese flavors, with dishes like French-style beef, seafood casserole, and roast pork belly receiving high praise. However, some diners note that the General Tso's chicken could be improved, as it tends to be more on the sweet side than spicy.
