Nous avons réservé sur le site une table pour 21h30, arrivé la bas on nous dit que ce n'est pas possible que l'on ait réservé car la cuisine & le restaurant sont fermés … On nous a juste expédiés sans s'excuser de l'erreur venant de leur part & du site internet. Je vous conseille d'appeler avant sinon on va juste vous mettre dehors.
Très bonne ambiance, moi & ma femme étions arrivés avant la grande affluence. Une ambiance un peu feutré comme on aime. La nourriture était très bonne. Le rapport qualité/prix est bon.
On y reviendra bientôt. 🙂
La nourriture était délicieuse. Je suis d'avis que le service est lent & les serveuses semblent mélangées. Somme toute, ça vaut le détour pour la nourriture!
Accueil très bête. Nous étions un groupe de 7 personnes & sommes arrivés 10 minutes en retard. Le premier mot a été: si vous étiez arrivés 5 minutes plus tard, vous perdiez votre place. Il est 11:55 & votre réservation était à 11:45. Pas de sourire ni de bonjour. Avoir été moins de personnes, je serais parti manger ailleurs
To start off, i am not a Karen & this is not a Karen review, BUT: - the food took almost 45 mins to arrive after ordering. we saw tables come in, people go out, some even paid their bills, & our food still was not on the table. - despite all of that, our waitress was cute & kind so i'll give her that. (the redhead). - service was a little messy; i was so confused on who was the bartender, waiter & busboy/girl. the waitress was doing all the work to be honest. - the food itself was okay. lacked a lot of flavor & was a little dry & cold as well. i'm not overdoing it, i swear it was very mid. - i enjoyed the appetizers tho, i guess their forté is small plates …
Tres joli Sesame au vieux port! Le service est so so, mais la nourriture y est toujours tres bonne. L'endroit est tres bien decore, vraiment agreable!!!
Loud atmosphere. Great service. La nourriture est très bon. I recommend le wontons aux archaides, saveur est fantastique. Pad sew est bon. Poutine had a tangy flavour (would not recommend). Poke est comme ci comme ça. Bao est bon, avec des frites. Calamari is a must-have. Overall, great restaurant for Asian fusion.
Exactly what I was looking for: great asian food done right & a cosy atmosphere without the uptightness of a''fancy'' restaurant. The wonton soup is to die for, loved the General Tao chicken & the you must try the Red Curry Shrimp!!

Food was not generous & didn't satisfy me completely, I was very hungry after & It did cost me quite the amount. Atmosphere & drink is good... but food is not generous for the price!
75 min pour recevoir notre repas alors que le resto est presque vide. Menu dégustation vegan servi avec des oeufs... Plats plutôt ordinaires, autant dans la présentation que les ingrédients. Honnêtement, Sésame a perdu beaucoup de sa qualité. Allez ailleurs, beaucoup d'autres choix dans le secteur.
I often go to Sesame. It is walking distance from my work & I do takeouts. I go cause the quality of the food is excellent & for the past 10 years that I am going, it never changed. However, even for take outs, they are slow & not friendly. It happened few times that I got there (around 12:30 pm)& wanted to order for take out & the manager told me they cant serve me as they are overwhelmed. He never apologized or say he is sorry. He simply did not care to lose me as a customer. Even the few times that I sat to eat, the service was slow & it was not even that busy. Overall I recommend their food but they have to work to give a better customer service.
