More than a regular bistro serving hearty meals and fiery cocktails, Sampiro takes pride in showcasing Asian-style dishes crafted from the freshest ingredients—each one delivering a bold yet familiar punch to the palate.

This philosophy comes to life in creations like their Shrimp and Corn Lumpia, a fresh, playful twist on the classic starter, made of garden greens, basil, mint, cilantro, mango aioli, and nuoc cham.

Still on the Bits & Bites, the Cuban Pork Ribs make a compelling choice. Featuring fall-off-the-bone tender ribs generously coated in a bold Creole spice rub. They are slow-cooked to draw out deep, smoky flavors before being finished with a luscious pink guava glaze.

For those who want something a little more different, the Bone Marrow & Mushroom Rice is a standout choice from their Carb Closet. Served with the marrow still nestled in the bone, it invites diners to scoop out the rich, buttery center and mix it into the rice themselves for a more personalized, indulgent bite.

Built on Australian Angus beef marrow, the dish is further layered with crispy enoki mushrooms that lend depth and aroma, while pickled onions cut through the richness with a gentle tang. Fried garlic round everything out, adding texture, transforming the plate into a hearty, interactive experience that is both comforting and deeply satisfying with every spoonful.

The pastas at Sampiro are just as enticing, beginning with the Seafood Capellini. Delicate strands of house-made egg pasta are tossed in a rich bouillabaisse sauce, allowing the deep, seafood-forward flavors to coat every bite. A generous medley of shrimp, squid, and mussels brings both sweetness and briny depth, while bursts of cherry tomato add a bright, tangy lift to the dish.

For a bountiful feast best enjoyed with friends and family for a night out, Sampiro’s Porterhouse Steak is a mouthwatering treat that will satisfy your cravings for Australian M4 Ebony Black Angus beef.

Of course, these hearty and flavorful offerings that are served for two to three persons are even more delightful when paired with Sampiro’s selection of craft beers and unique cocktails.
