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.

Excellent resto pour discuter avec des amis & des membres de famille. Joli décor & très bonne cuisine - j'ai beaucoup aimé la soupe Ramen!

L'endroit est agréable. Les soupes que nous avons commandées étaient froides la plupart & manquaient de garniture (poulet). C'était juste du liquide & quelques nouilles. Pour 22 dollars, la qualité n'était pas au rendez-vous.

Chaque visite est un vrai plaisir ! Le service est impeccable du début à la fin.Le personnel est souriant, attentionné & professionnel. Les plats sont toujours délicieux, préparés avec soin & servis à la température parfaite. L'ambiance du restaurant est chaleureuse & conviviale, idéale pour un souper entre amis, en couple ou en famille. On s'y sent bien, détendu, & on a toujours envie d'y retourner. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter à tous ceux qui aiment bien manger & passer un bon moment !

I've been coming to Sesame for many years & always enjoyed the food & the atmosphere
However the other night when I came for dinner , it was a different experience
I had the papaya salad & the tum yum soup, both were very disappointing, bland & uninteresting! I left hungry!
I am hoping it was a one time occurrence since I truly enjoy going there

Vraiment charmant petit resto. Le poké bol au saumon était tout à fait délicieux autant que la soupe pleine de saveur. Nous reviendrons!

I have been going to Sésame for years. I enjoyed going there because of the meal size Thai Coco soup. The quality of the soup has gone down significantly. The recipe has changed during the summer/spring, & not the same. The soup is now rather bland! Bring back the old recipe, & please put Thai basil in the soup instead of the Bok Choi!! Thai coco soup is supposed to be a bit spicy, & not BLAND. I would like to comment on the service as well. We sat out on the terasse. We were ignored to be served. The waitress would walk right by us, & wouldn't even make eye contact so we order. We waited a good 20 minutes before she took our order. In order to pay, I had to go to the cash & pay since she was never coming around. Like I said the place was not that busy! Until they address the service & quality of the food, I will not be going back!!!

Les dumplings & le poké de saumon sont absolument délicieux!!! Le service est impeccable & l'ambiance hyper décontractée rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. Une adresse à retenir, autant pour un lunch rapide que pour un souper entre amis!

La nourriture est plutôt bonne mais les assiettes ne sont pas très généreuses. La soupe coco thaï est très bonne à prendre en entrée. L'ambiance est sympa & plutôt classe. Bonne soirée en général

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👍🏻

Sésame provided an unforgettable dining experience, combining amazing food with exceptional service. The two young servers greeted me with smiles that brightened the evening, making me feel incredibly welcome. I enjoyed a meal of soup, rice dumplings, & sake, each dish showcasing fresh tastes & a burst of flavors that was simply delightful. The chef & staff truly deserve a shout-out for their culinary skills & friendly demeanor. It was an amazing night all around, with each element-from the food to the atmosphere-coming together perfectly. Highly recommend Sésame for anyone looking for a memorable meal in a warm & inviting setting.

Avons commande 2 soupes, 2 entrées, 2 repas principal. Je reçois en premier mon repas principal & mon entrée, mon mari ne reçoit rien. Une dizaine de minutes plus tard mon mari reçoit son repas principal & quelques minutes plus tard, son entrée. Peut-être une dizaine de minutes plus tard on reçoit nos soupes. J'ai dis a la jeune fille que les soupes devraient être servi un en premier, elle répond que elle a servi comme elle reçoit de la cuisine 🤨🤨☹️

Mon expérience lors d’un souper entre amis à ce restaurant a été très chaleureuse. La soupe tonkinoise au boeuf, le poulet du Général Tao & le riz frit m’ont agréablement surpris, & ce, à un prix abordable. Le service m’a aussi beaucoup plu & j’ai bien hâte d’y retourner!

Une cuisine goûteuse & originale, à bon prix, voilà ce que vous obtiendrez chez Sésame. Asiatique "with a twist", fusion... mais toujours délicieux. Le chow mein au boeuf était très copieux, bien assaisonné, & fait d'ingrédients frais. Il en allait de même pour la soupe won-ton, aux nouilles bien relevées & au bouillon subtilement parfumé. Une découverte!
