Modern Asian Cuisine in Philadelphia's midtown village
Sampan is an oasis of contemporary Asian small plates located in the heart of Center City, Philadelphia's hot Midtown Village neighborhood. A dramatic back-lit wall mural sets the scene for artful food, emerging from the restaurant's centrally located open kitchen while a carefully curated selection of wine, beer, sake and cocktails compliment guests' experiences.

Tucked into the rear of the restaurant on a private 30-seat patio, Graffiti Bar debuted in April 2010. Serving the same acclaimed Asian food and drinks by Chef Schulson that have made Sampan instantly popular, it's also a haven for sports fans, equipped with TVs behind the bar, and home to our daily Happy Hour. Open all year round, Graffiti Bar can be found down a narrow chain linked fence alley surrounded by a mural commissioned by local artist Ali M Williams. Heat lamps for chilly nights and the soft glow of candlelight make it a perfect spot no matter the season. Every Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m., Graffiti Bar offers one of the best Happy Hours in the city featuring Satays, Dumplings & Spring Rolls, Bao Buns & more. Drinks include a daily-changing cocktail, wine and beer specials.
