The owners opened a Sampan Express where the Tim Hortons on McKenzie used to be (across the street), and I heard they were closing/have closed Sampan itself. I refer to these as "chinatown whispers" as rumours spread quickly amongst the Chinese community here, but I don't know how accurate the information is.
I was told they were not related? Again this is second hand information.

And there's a note on the door. Closed as of February 20, with service being offered out of the Sampan Express across the road.

Shiki will have two locations now, yes? They are not abandoning their new space downtown, right?

Average sushi, tired, old Sampan decor. Don't go out of your way.

Sounds like I need to give Olle another try. We went a couple of months ago and thought it was just ok, but we had ordered Korean dishes, not japanese.
Olle shut down and is now a Taiwanese joint. Looks like they have beef noodle soup! It's the first local Taiwanese place that I know of.

For Lease signs were up.
They are gone; windows are paper’d currently.
Any guesses?!? Momma wanna know!

Happened to be in the neighborhood tonight and decided to grab the dinner for 4 from Sampan Express - it was great. Pricey but also very tasty. Our usual go-to for "Asian" is the Thai Green Elephant near us or the Szechuan restaurant on Caledonia, but we'll definitely hit up S-E again.

I find when you order ahead and get your meal made fresh its night and day compares to there express walk in quality.
2nd favorite spot in town. Quality foods took over as number 1 last year.
