Excellent food. Pork & kimchi dumplings were delicious, as were wonton soup & peanut stir fry. Service was very friendly, although a bit slow. Outdoor seating was comfortable.

Food is overpriced & just not that great. The only thing we liked was the salmon tartare that was really good but everything else is subpar for the price you pay. The fried calamari was not super well cooked & the batter was not crispy at all The wonton soup was a bit too salty The dumpling skin was really thick The general Tao was wayyy too sweet & the peanut butter chicken wok was also extremely sweet. The service was good.

Excellent resto. Le service du midi est rapide & courtois. Jai adoré le serveur francais qui etait souriant & qui prenait le temps de nous expliquer le menu. La salle est par contre bruyante. Excellent pad thai & soupe en entree. Prix tres raisonnable pour la qualité. Je recommande ++

J'arrive pour faire commande pour emporter. Je remarque que sur le menu il est indiqué 10% de rabais pour les commandes pour emporter. Lorsque la caissière me demande de payer, je constate que je n'ai pas le 10% & je lui en fait part. Immédiatement son sourire disparait & elle me dit que oui elle me l'a donné. Pourtant le prix sur la facture est le même que sur le menu. Je lui demande de m'expliquer car je ne comprends pas, elle pousse un gros soupir & s'éloigne en disant qu'elle ne peut rien faire, puis revient en disant que c'est comme ça. De la fausse publicité & un accueil froid. En ce qui concerne le pad sew, les nouilles étaient bonnes, mais le boeuf avait beaucoup de tendons. Je n'y retournerai plus.

No laddle for soup, no candles for cake, mixed up orders, at least the waitress was kind & put a chocolate stick in place of a candle for a birthday cake.

Now open on Monday The 5 to 7 offer are great for small bites Tried the bloody sesame cocktail, it came with a chicken bite & a prawn chips. Perfect appetiser ! The dumpling were good as well as the small thai soup, tangy & sweet. The salmon poke was spicy & generous with salmon (especially for the 5-7 price) The pad Thai was vibrant & full of flavours. You can trust sesame restaurant for the quality of their food !

Bonjour! Bon choix de restaurant 8/10: belle ambiance incluant le décor & la musique, nous avons bien été accueilli par le responsable de l'établissement. B mol: les soupers ne sont pas fameuses. Par contre, les calamars frits sont excellent!
