Le général Tao est généreux en poulet avec peu de friture- très bon. Salade de mangue & pad thaï bons mais trop relevés- serait interessant de pouvoir doser le degré de piquant
Malheureusement trop d'attente entre les services. De plus, nous avons attendu un bon 20 minutes avant de pouvoir commander notre drink. J'avais indiqué que c'était pour mon anniversaire, aucune attention reçu., dommage. Poké bon malgré tout, soupe thail coco manque un peu de goût.

This was not my first time here, but the food experience was the worst. One of my friends got the soup so cold, she had to go back & request to heat it up. The pokes came with old & cold rice, my Pad Thai contained only the tails of the broccoli with no heads. I mean seriously? We went on Sunday & it seems we got the leftovers of Saturday!
I've been to Thailand a few times & I have eaten red curry in many places in Montreal - I have to say that their red curry sauté just isn't it & it doesn't taste remotely close to it. The food wasn't bad & there was a good amount of shrimps, but don't call it red curry if it won't taste like it. Music was a bit loud & tables very close to each other, but great service & great drinks as well. I might go back, but I'll definitely go with lower expectations for any authenticity.
Cuisine;
1- soupe était froide yum yum j'ai demandé au poulet on m'en apportez au crevette ! Je mange tout donc je n'ai pas exige de changer ma soupe !
2- le plat boeuf croustillant à l'orange déçu, peu de boeuf & coupé en petit morceau peu de légumes
est ce que la recette a été modifié? J'ai mangé le même plat au mois de juillet à votre resto & il y a 1 an à votre resto du centre ville ce n'est plus la même quantité de viandes & légumes
3- Pad Thai, mon amie a commandé le pad Thai peu de poulet & trop de fèves germées
Le goût était très bon donc cela compense , la note 1 demeure
Service ;
notre serveur professionel & gentil ! Serveuse à l'accueil aussi
Ambiance;
1- musique trop forte & ne reflète pas votre décor
2- très froid lors de l'ouverture des portes…
C'est ma 4iem visite aux Sésames , les 3 premières très satisfaite certes fois trop déçu!
Acceuil & service chaleureux.
Dumping & soupe won ton très ordinaire.
Tartare de saumon trop juteux.thai coco repas tiède peu savoureuse.
Rapport/qualité prix très faible.
En bref décevant.

Nous avons prit le menu B découverte pour pouvoir une bonne idée de l'a nourriture du restaurant
La soupe Tom Yum , très moyenne
La salade de papaye , du vinaigre !
Poulet général Tao , sans plus !
Cari rouge au boeuf , très moyen
Pas thaï aux crevettes , le meilleur du repas
Premier & dernier fois !
Food- not bad not amazing. Pad Thai amazing. Calmar different, seem hard but good. Wasn't sure if overcooked, sauce great. Salmon tartare tasteless. Wonton hard tasteless, dipping sauce good. Sangria great. Service she was nice, kept coming back asking if we needed anything which was nice but was awkward getting the plates off the table, not over bubbly but maybe just an off night.
**Restaurant Review for Sesame** Rating: ★★☆☆☆ I typically don't write restaurant reviews, but my recent experience at Sesame compelled me to share my thoughts. While there were some positive aspects, the overall experience fell short of expectations. Let's start with the positives: the decor & ambiance were inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Additionally, the cocktails were enjoyable & well-crafted, setting a nice tone for the evening. However, things took a downturn once we placed our food orders. The service was noticeably slow, my entrée had been sitting in the kitchen for far too long before it finally arrived- obviously arriving cold. Fortunately, our waitress was accommodating & quickly replaced it for me. Unfortunately, the soup didn't impress, lacking the depth of flavor, as did the won-ton soup ordered by the others in the group. As for the other dishes, the pad Thai was quite basic & could use significant improvement. The dumplings were underwhelming, reminiscent of those found in the frozen section of the grocery store. On a brighter note, my husband ordered the General tao chicken & enjoyed it :) We decided to try the key lime pie for dessert, but it was lacking of the bright lime flavor one would expect. To add to the frustration, our waitress struggled to sort out the bills for our group, which took an astonishing 40 minutes. To make matters worse, one couple was overcharged, & there was no apology offered for the inconvenience. I had high hopes for Sesame, anticipating a delightful Asian dining experience. Unfortunately, it seems this restaurant has some significant areas to improve. Hopefully they can address these issues, as the potential is certainly there.
This is supposed to be the coconut thai soup. It looks more to me like an oil soup that tastes barely anything (except the tofu inside that was the only good tasting ingredient) Very underwhelming in taste & overwhelming in oil. Basically a big 20$ thrown in the trash, & an empty stomach. The restaurants here around really are bad
Nourriture vraiment excellente, mais service très long & quand même ordinaire qu'ils n'acceptent pas de modifié le pad thai au tofu pour un pour un pad thai avec une autre protéine à la place bien que j'aie proposer de payer un supplément dans le menu découverte.
Delicious food. Our table had meal sized wonton soup, pad Thai, pad sew, & chicken dumplings. Dessert we had molten lava cake, mango sorbet, key lime pie. All good, served hot, friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

Superbe soirée au Sesame, belle ambiance, excellent service de Sarah ! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre repas également, tout était bon, mon préféré est le pad thaï au poulet !
Nourriture sans saveur, & cher pour ce que c'est! Petite portion. Le service etait limite ok. J'ai gouté le general tao, pad sew boeuf & pad thai au poulet. Ca goutait rien & nous sommes tous du meme avis a notre yable. Par contre les aliments sont frais & la présentation est belle le pourquoi 2 etoiles au lieu de 1
L'endroit est magnifique, la musique un peu étrange. J'ai aimé ce que j'ai mangé (soupe thaï coco & pas sew) mais j'ai eu de solides crampes & un gros mal de tête en soirée...
Experience partagée. Entrée de wontons sauce aux arachides délicieuse & généreuse. Soupe repas thaï coco sans gout & très loin des soupes thaï authentique. Besoin de raffiner certains plats & d'être à la hauteur du décor.
Malheureusement ça fait 2 fois que je viens & je voulais m'assurer si ma première impression était bonne ou non. Malheureusement je ne reviendrai plus chez vous, la soupe coco Thai était froide & le tofu General Tao n'avait pas de goût...c'est vraiment dommage car vous êtes super bien situé & le personnel est vraiment super gentil & professionnels & le resto est super beau. Bonne chance
