Review Summary

Sésame offers a welcoming and cozy atmosphere that makes it an ideal spot for gatherings with friends, family, or couples. 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. While the experience is generally smooth and enjoyable, the restaurant remains a popular choice for its fair pricing, convenient location near the Lachine Canal and Atwater Market, and an inviting decor that ensures a pleasant dining experience.

The food was good, we got the tao tofu & orange chicken. The downside was the portion of the side of vegetables we ordered. It cost 8$ & its size was absolutely ridiculous. It was half empty too.

I've actually never been to this restaurant in person but I order Uber eats from there very consistently. The quality is excellent. Food always arrives piping hot with the perfect proportions of veg, rice & chicken (I get the general Tao 8 times out of 10) You can tell that they prepare the orders with a lot of care. Thank you! We have no reason to look elsewhere, please continue being awesome

Overpriced mediocre asian fusion food. The general tao poutine was drenched in an overly sweet & sour sauce that tasted industrial. The chicken was dry & flavorless inside. The fries lacked salt. The karaage was 3 big pieces of chicken tenders. Nothing even remotely close to a karaage. They charge 23$ for something you can get at costco for much cheaper. The only extra star given is for the nice waitress & for the atmosphere of the restaurant. Would definitely not go back considering all the better asian food you can get elsewhere for cheaper.

Ordered as a birthday dinner, turned out to be disappointing. I'm sorry, but I really did try. Despite reading other's bad reviews, I still took a chance to support local. I love pad thai so decided to try a new place to add to my list. Sesame won't be on that list tho. I paid for extra panko tofu, got none. Asked for extra spicy, got none, had to add my own, even though the description mentions''slightly spicy'', really, where? Peanuts? Don't even dream about it. Topped with one tiny lime, barely squeezable. Oh, & the chicken, can you make it look more cooked, for others please, it almost looked microwaved. I'm not even mad, I was really hungry & the food weighing 787 g was appropriate, I'm rather quite disappointed that I had to pay 30$ for this lack of ingredients, extras & refinement. I've already cooked a few pad thai from scratch, & I start to wonder if you use fresh ingredients or a premade sauce from bottle... Anyway, I hope you guys improve, I wish you perseverance & success in your endeavors, peace.

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...

I loved the flavour of my General ? but the chicken was a bit overcooked. The service was great -- the waitress was so attentive & such a lovely person!!! We will be back.

This is my third time going to this location.

great service.
nice ambiance.
delicious food.

What i tried so far & all liked

As appetizers:

-Tom yom soup
-peanut butter dumplings
-papaya salad
-fried shrimps

Main dishes:
-Red curry chicken with rice
-General tao on or without poutine
-Chicken teriyaki
-Salmon poke bowl

all deliciously well prepared with love.
They have really cool tasty cocktails as well.

Location wise, go park behind where the super C is, huge parking & walk to the restaurant which is behind. They even have a lovely terrace with cute lights

Among all sesame locations, this one is my favorite. food is better in my taste!
