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.

We had the salmon special & General Tao chicken, plus cocktails, at 11 am. Mango salad was fresh & tasty. Really delicious food. It filled up quickly by noon. Great service a fast. Recommend.

I have been to Sesame a few times now, & twice have gotten the tasting menu for two & it was absolutely delicious. Strongly recommend topping it off with the black sesame ice cream!

Super repas chez Sésame samedi dernier ! Le Général Tao était parfaitement croustillant avec une sauce bien équilibrée, & le poké au saumon était d'une fraîcheur irréprochable. Portions généreuses & saveurs au rendez-vous. Une valeur sûre, je recommande !

Nourriture délicieuse à chaque fois, service impeccable & ambiance toujours agréable.
Le cocktail à la fraise devrait se faire en double tellement qu'il est bon. Je recommande!
