The restaurant is consistently praised for its flavorful, fresh, and well-presented dishes, with the General Tao, ramen, and various vegan options standing out as guest favorites. Guests frequently highlight the exceptional service, noting that the staff is often attentive, professional, and genuinely warm.

Exquisite. I can cook so I'm very picky. I don't want to pay a week of griceries for a white bread sandwitch. I ate in fast food restaurants all week & I was having an OD of fried potatoes. My body demanded veggies & meat. The attention to detail was far & beyond. So many flavors! I took the stir fry, peanut butter sauce, with chicken. I paid extra for the fried rice. I expected deep fried rice but no the kind server told me it's with mushrooms & other flavors. Best rice I ever had! The meal had extra peanuts sprinkled on top. It was gorgeous. We came for the kayak & ping pong. I wanted to go very far for good food. This was near the activity, but also worth making a detour to go.

I almost never write Google reviews, but tonight deserved one. The service was genuinely outstanding. I don't know her name, but she made the whole experience. She recommended me the butter chicken & it was incredible, easily one of the best I've had. She deserves real recognition. We'll be coming back just because of her!

I used to order from this place a lot but I've been really disappointed with the quality of my last few orders. I ordered the Bao Mayo Epice & there was barely any chicken in it. It was 90% batter, & the avocado was missing as well. Especially given the cost, this kind of thing shouldn't happen.

We stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. Went on a Saturday around 18:00 & they graciously accommodated us without a reservation. The restaurant is clean & seats about 20 plus the terrasse. Our group consisted of 3 meat eaters & 1 Vegan & the choices were plentiful. The dumplings were just right & the peanut sauce was on point. The salmon tartare was fantastic! The general Tao (Chicken traditional & Tofu Gochugang) were fresh & VERY tasty. We will definitely be going back. I'm going to assume that parking'may' be an issue during the summer but I think you can park in the front of Super C.

We were a group of four. I ordered the Chicken General Thao & it was perfect, it was sweet but crunchy. Food 10/10 Only complaint with the service was that the water bottles were often empty

I order Sesame via UberEats quite often. It's usually quite consistent in terms of flavor & attention to detail (reading & executing on order notes). Tonight, we ordered & I was quite disappointed by the quality of the food. My husband, son, & I all ordered the General Tao chicken & all of us had rotting vegetables used in our sides. & the vegetables were rotting to an extent that it could be detected by smell alone which is what drew my attention to the issue in the first place. When paying for food, I expect to eat something that is not on the verge of being thrown into the garbage, unfortunately Sesame wasn't able to meet that standard this time around.

One of my favorite places with Asian food! I simply love their spicy salmon poke-bowl & General Tao chicken. Although dumplings soup is really good too. Recommended👍🏻

This place is really going down in every aspect. Bao General Tao that we ordered came in paper in a steamer basket. My salad had no dressing, the sandwich fell apart & the chicken burger inside was completely dried & hard. French fries, on the other hand, were soft & tasteless. We left most of our baskets. No refill of water was offered, to try to get a waitress one would have to go for her inside. We waited for our three identical dishes full 25 minutes & the place was only half full. What happened? This used to be a first-class place.

Had takeout. Overall the food was very good. Not cheap, but not overpriced. Pad Thai was spicy, which I prefer. Also had butter chicken & the dumpling sampler.
