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.
Me & my friends visited the place as it was recommended by a lot of people. We order Slushes & General Tao Chicken/ Orange Sauce Chicken. It was absolutely amazing!! The service was great & the staff was amazing. The owner of the store was there as well & offered us a complementary drink. Every one at the store were super nice. I recommend visiting the place if you are in Montreal.
J'ai eu le plaisir de manger les plats de Sésame deux fois, & ai été pleinement satisfait ! Personnel chaleureux & accueillant, restaurant très chic, fait avec goût, & la nourriture est excellente. Rien à dire, je recommande à 100%.
Quand il étais temps de payer l'addition, une des serveuses insistait sur le fait qu'on devait donner au moins 15% de pourboires alors que dans mon souvenir, il n'était pas obligatoire d'en donner.
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.
Very disappointed with all our meals (we were 4 as a family). We normally very much like their food, but something was off that night. Don't think we'll go back there anytime soon, especially not at those prices.
Nice place, service good, food was bad. One small imperial roll for appetizer & general Tao which was basically mcdonalds chicken nuggets in a sauce. Rice was also cold.
I recently had lunch at the Oriental restaurant & enjoyed a delicious Pad Thai with shrimp & a delightful papaya salad. The service was excellent, & the ambiance was perfect for a relaxing meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for a satisfying lunch experience.
