Accueil chaleureux & courtois. Bon rapport qualité prix. L'entrée de dumpling très bonne. Le tartare au saumon, accompagné de la salade, était succulent. Mon conjoint a adoré le poulet du General Tao & ma fille a choisi le poulet aux arachides qu'elle a également aimé. Je vous recommande ce restaurant. Nous allons sûrement y retourner.

Sésame, & Tiamy, more than met our needs for a large group dinner. She made Sesame work for us in a group of 25-ish individuals. We knew the group would be about that size but it could have been larger or smaller, & Tiamy worked up a menu that worked for us. We have many students in the group, so the price was very reasonable, but the food & service was excellent. I cannot find any fault with Sésame

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.

Très bon resto & belle ambiance. Le personnel est courtois & rapide. Les plats sont pas dispendieux & la nourriture est servie très vite. Parfait pour des diners de bureau. Le poulet général Tao est vraiment sublime. Les autres avec moi ont tous pris la poutine général tao & l'ont trouvé remarquable. Nous y retournons chaque semaine.
