Bien que ce soit dispendieux, nous avons adoré le menu découverte 5 services. Nous avons apprécié qu'il y ait l'option végétarienne. La service était courtois & fluide. J'y retournerai sans hésiter!
Chaque fois que je mange chez sésame, je sais à quoi m'attendre. Que ce soit take-out ou bien en restaurant, on dépasse toujours mes attentes. Je le recommande à tous les gens qui savent apprécier la bonne bouffe! Enjoy!
Je suis allée à ce resto le 20 mars dernier. Belle découverte! Ce resto est parfait & situé à deux pas de la Place des Arts. Ce que nous avons mangé était vraiment succulent & nous avons adoré l'excellent service de Philippe, un très gentil français! J'y retournerai!

J'y suis allée sur l'heure du midi avec mon collègue. Malgré que le resto était très occupé, le service était tout de même rapide. & la nourriture, excellente. Ils ont même un menu midi 11-14h qui permet d'avoir une entrée & une boisson au même prix (ou presque) d'une sélection de plats réguliers.
Très bon je conseil surtout les dumpling! L'ambiance est tranquille & les serveur très gentil. Par contre venir en transport en commun si possible car quasiment pas de parking après 18:00.

We had a decent experience at this restaurant, but there were some ups & downs. When we were seated, it took over 15 minutes for us to be served water, which was a bit too long, especially since we were quite thirsty. However, once I was able to get the waitress's attention, she was very kind & polite, & from that point on, the service was good.
The cocktails were a highlight-delicious & well-made. Our entrées were also enjoyable. However, the main course was underwhelming. I ordered the Pineapple General Tao, but to my surprise, there was no actual pineapple in the dish. For an Asian fusion restaurant, I expected better execution, & honestly, I prefer the stir-fry pineapple dish from Thai Express over what I had here. It just didn't meet expectations, & I didn't feel compelled to take my leftovers home.
One thing I really appreciated was the music volume-it was lower than in many other restaurants I've been to, which made it easy to have a conversation without having to raise our voices.
Overall, I'd rate my experience a 3.5 out of 5. There were some great aspects, but there's definitely room for improvement, particularly with the speed of service at the start & the quality of the main dishes.
Je vais souvent dans un des restaurants de cette petite chaîne. Qualité de la nourriture très bonne & toujours constante. N'essayez pas de trouver des grands crus sur la carte des vins, mais ceux qu'on y retrouve sont corrects & très abordables.
En résumé un très bon restaurant asiatique, sans prétention, mais avec une cuisine inventive. J'adore
Quelle expérience! C'est littéralement le meilleur poulet général tao que j'ai mangé de ma vie! Les cocktails étaient tellement frais, c'était délicieux! Le restaurant & magnifique & tellement bien situé. C'est sur qu'on y retournera! Le prix est modique mais le repas vaut bien plus! Oh &, les frites sont les meilleures!
