Review Summary

Sésame comes across as a warm welcoming spot with a lively yet comfortable ambiance, where service is consistently friendly and attentive and the menu offers inventive, flavorful dishes. Dishes such as salmon tartare, ramen, dumplings and poke bowls are frequently praised for freshness and balance, with cocktails and overall dining experience often highlighted as strong points. While many notes celebrate value, generous portions and attractive decor, a few reviews mention noise from ventilation or music, portions that may feel small for the price, and occasional slow service or temperature issues. Overall the sentiment points to Sésame as a reliable favorite for casual meals with friends or family, with guests eager to return and recommend the place.

Après une marche, le long du canal Lachine, nous avons fait un arrêt au Sésame pour le lunch. Cette banière offre une cuisine constante sans prétention. Le service fut agréable & attentionné. Sa localisation en face du marché Atwater est un plus. Nous y retournerons.

Loved the atmosphere, food & the service at the Atwater Sesame. Tried the Bao & the general Tao. Absolutely loved how the Bao was a perfect blend of sweet, chilli & savoury flavour. The freshness adds to the overall flavour as well. Kind gestures by chefs Isha & Meryem to make the adjustments for my dishes to be a bit spicy & prepare accordingly. A must visit for a good family experience.

A very nice, cute restaurant right next to Atwater market 😎 We loved the decor inside the restaurant ❤️ We started with wontons in peanut sauce followed by sesame salad & Beef Teriyaki 😊 The food was super delicious ❤️ For dessert, we had the Molten chocolate cake & it was also very good ! Can't wait to go back & try other things on the menu 😊

A good taste of Asia with a simple & pleasant ambiance. Good service & just beside Atwater Market. I just had a very bad experience last night. I had been several times with out reservation with out problem. when arrive even when they were several tables empty, the lady ask reservation, then she check & said there were no tables. then i back iver 1 hour & the place was wuth less people & more tables. My face? my race ? very sad experience.

When I first visited Sesame on St. Jacques I was happily surprised; the food was fresh, spicy & innovative. When they opened the Atwater branch we went there & found it to be ok, although a few notches down from our initial experience. I went the other day again & boy was the experience bad. Service continues to be good & efficient. But the food was terrible. I ordered chicken with peanut sauce on rice & both the chicken & rice were badly cooked. The chicken was completely tasteless, product of what happens when you don't seat protein properly. All it's juices were long gone so for flavour you only relied on the super sweet peanut sauce. Very disappointed. The resto of my family's food was also quite bad. & to top it, quite pricey. Will not got there again. It's sad to see a good idea get lost by greed...

Très bon restaurant. Pour avoir fait plusieurs Sésame, je trouve que celui en face du marché Atwater est le meilleur.

I love going to Sésame on Atwater: The food is always delicious; the ambience & the staff are warm & inviting; & both the entrance & the bathroom are fully accessible. Even at the time of booking, there is a way to indicate that there will be someone of limited mobility or with a need for some kind of accommodation. So thoughtful!
