Bel locale molto curato.
Personale attento alla clientela: visto che c'era un po di attesa per i nostri piatti ci hanno portato un piccolo assaggio per stemperare la fame.
I piatti sono ben fatti e anche belli da vedere.
Può essere sicuramente una alternativa per passare una piacevole serata.

Went to Sesame on Saint-Jacques & left with mixed feelings. The menu had a nice variety to choose from, which I appreciated. They also gave us a good table without reservations. & to be fair, they had a lot of vegetarian dishes & a couple of dishes were genuinely good: the Pad See Ew was tasty, & the Thai chili chicken (family loved it) had great flavor. Those two we'd order again.

Everything else fell a bit flat though. We ordered the tasting platter & one of the dishes was left off. The dumplings were disappointing too, dry & chewy instead of tender.

What really brought the experience down was the service. Our servers weren't very attentive, & when we asked what they'd recommend, all we got was'it's up to you.' With that much variety on the menu, some guidance would've gone a long way.

There's clearly some good food here, but between the missing dish & the lackluster service, it wasn't a great overall experience. I might go back to take out the Pad See Ew, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

Ce fût pour nous une belle découverte. Nous avons particulièrement aimé dans les entrées le plateau de dégustation qui nous a permis de découvrir la salade de papaye… tout était délicieux. Les dumplings & les wontons frits sont savoureux ainsi que le poulet général Tao orange/saké & le boeuf teriyaki. Un bon restaurant que je recommande sans hésiter.
