Sésame offers a concept unique in its kind: an out of the ordinary variety of high quality Asian dishes to enjoy in a warm atmosphere.
From the Pad Thai to the General Tao poutine, or one of the various wok sautées, you can eat your meal on site or take it to go.
Additionally, Sésame offers a wide selection of loose teas, several privately imported wines, beers on tap, a wide selection of sake, but especially, a menu of exclusive Sésame cocktails.
Reviews portray Sésame as a warm, elegant Asian fusion spot with a calm, refined atmosphere. The menu is praised for flavorful, generously portioned dishes such as dumplings, poke bowls, Pad Thai, calamari and a standout General Tao, offering good value. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, with efficient, considerate staff noted across visits, though a few experiences mention slower pacing during busy times or a louder environment. Overall, the dining experience is described as memorable and inviting, with guests enjoying the food and ambiance and expressing intentions to return.
Although a very nice relaxing atmosphere, the food quality was poor. I have the chicken pad see ew, & was disappointed in the hard texture of the noodles, the chicken was overcooked & the greens in the dish were a bit slimy. Would not recommend.
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.

Normalement le service est super La beaucoup d'attente,ont était obliger de demander pour eau, le dessert, je crois qu'il avais pas assez de serveuses que 2 , 1 au comptoir & l'autre qui se cours.les repas sont excellent Je recommence ce restaurant.
Pour une 1ere fois cetait génial! Tout était parfait! Les plats, les drinks, service & prix abordable & qualité excellente 😊 Nous voulons y retourner & faire découvrir a la famille & amis ce bon resto 🥰
Great food but very slow & inattentive service. We had to ask 3 times for water. More than 10 minutes after finishing our mains to get the table cleaned & then wait again to get the desserts menu while the waiter was having a chat with another waiter behind the bar.
Arrived shortly before the kitchen closed but did not feel rushed at all. The food was fresh & delicious. The drinks were lovely & the staff helpful & very pleasant. We will definitely visit again.
J'ai pris le poké bowl Tao, ce n'est pas écrit, mais cela vient avec vraiment beaucoup de gingembre, c'est cool quand t'aime ça, mais pour ma part, je déteste ça... il n'y avait pas d'avocat ni de melon comme indiqué sur le menu... c'était vraiment pas top...

It had been six years since I ventured into Sesame to order (on site) a poke bowl. Having arrived early to avoid the lunch crowd, the waitress took my order & payment only to send me to the waiting area where I waited for over 20 minutes for my order. When I approached a waiter to find out where my order was, he was dismissive & rude. Another lady ordered before me also was waiting. The someone else came in to order & she received her order right away! Another waitress completely ignored us. They finally brought my order, but the woman who orders before me was still waiting! This is not the same Sesame I went to six years ago, & I will never go back there! Horrible service indeed, high prices & the poke bowl was meh.
Excellent in every way- ambience, service, food, & the location. Also has an outdoor seating arrangement. Decent menu, mostly Oriental. Ample portions.
Très bon repas du midi avec des amis. Le service était impeccable. Tout était parfait si ce n'est que c'est bruyant (comme plusieurs autres restaurants). On a beaucoup apprécié notre 1ère fois à ce resto & nous y reviendrons très certainement.
Se restaurant ma été recommandé par une amie, l'ambiance est un 10/10 & le service aussi. La nourriture est très bonne & fresh. Je le recommande à tout le monde!
Went for lunch here & it was amazing! Shared a general tao & a salmon/tuna poke bowl with my friend- the ingredients were all so fresh & it was really tasty! The portions are quite good sizes as well! The general tap came with really good sautéed veggies
