Great food service was good too, but we did have to ask more then once if we could speeded up service because we had a show at 8 pm. We walked in at 5:53 left at 7:30 . Our last main course on a serving of 5 courses was served at exactly 7:09. Dessert was swallowed in record time, no time for tea or coffee. I'm also a food safety inspector & sadly your chef missed that the kettle use to warm up your soup was not working!!! This should be addressed has it could be quite costly. The soup was served to us cold obviously the kitchen did not no this it was not smoking hot. We got a replacement. Little issues but all in all a four star anyways.

bon ambiance, la soupe thaï coco au tofu etait incroyable. Les dumplings aux legumes furent les meilleurs parmis le choix mixte, les poké etaient succulants (le tao & le thon-saumon! Je le recommance ++

J'y vais souvant. Les plats sont delicieux, l'ambience est cool, le service est bon.
Juste une chose, Le soupe-repas, Thaï coco, c est très délicieux mais je pense qu'il fautrait quand même donner assez de nouilles au lieu de juste remplir par bouillons.
Je préfère cel sur sainte Catherine pour ce repas.

Je suis une habituée du restaurant à l'heure du midi & je n'ai jamais été déçue de la formule "commandes au comptoir".
Quelqu'un m'a recommandé d'y aller le soir car l'ambiance est très différente. Je suis donc allée pour une soirée de filles & nous avons adoré. Ils ont un bon choix de vins & de saké. Le Wok de crevettes basilic thai est simplement délicieux & parfaitement épicé!
Nous allons retourner souper au Sesame très bientôt.

Quoi qu'un peu bruyant , j'ai vraiment adoré ce restaurant.

Il faut faire la file à l'un des 3 comptoir, ça laisse le temps de regarder le grand tableau du menu qui comporte beaucoup de choix très intéressants.

La place était bondée, heureusement un collègue s'est assis à l'avance & nous avons commandé pour lui.

J'ai pris une soupe Tom Yum au poulet, c'est la meilleure que j'ai mangé à vie, le bouillon était juste parfait & le poulet bien tranché en lamelles.

C'est un bel endroit & le menu donne vraiment le goût d'essayer tout.
Je vous le conseille fortement un midi.
