Sésame offers a concept unique in its kind: an out of the ordinary variety of high quality Asian dishes to enjoy in a warm atmosphere.
From the Pad Thai to the General Tao poutine, or one of the various wok sautées, you can eat your meal on site or take it to go.
Additionally, Sésame offers a wide selection of loose teas, several privately imported wines, beers on tap, a wide selection of sake, but especially, a menu of exclusive Sésame cocktails.
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.
You have to do better. Can't charge a client 5$ for extra salmon & not give any salmon. All the vegetables were stale. I paid 30$ for 3$ worth of Rabbit food (lettuce & carrots)

Nous avions réservé avec un groupe de 7 personnes. La nourriture était bien, par contre rien de wow. La serveuse a pris un temps superieur à la moyenne pour nous amener nos aperitifs, & a meme pris nos commandes avant meme avoir apporté nos verres. A 21h, heure de la fermeture, les lumières ont été allumé + fort malgré le fait que certains d'entre nous recevaient leur digestif. Un item des desserts n'étaient pas disponibles, mais la serveuse n'était pas au courant au moment de la commande....
Absolument exquis, très frais. Les portions sont parfaites. La présentation est superbe & les plats sont savoureux & frais. Le service est excellent! Je lève mon chapeau aux deux chefs! 👏👏👏
The food is delicious, & the service is excellent. Both yong ladies servers are professional, clean, & provide attentive service, taking care of every detail. The restaurant is also very clean, one of the cleanest in the area. I loved that the kitchen staff work in an open kitchen, so you can see how clean they are. They wear masks & scarves, which is great because, in many restaurants here in Montreal, hygiene isn't always respected, but here at Sesame, everything is spotless. I truly enjoyed everything! After trying several Asian restaurants in Montreal, I can confidently say this one is the best overall, & I will definitely add it to my list of favorites.

La nourriture est délicieuse, nous étions 3 & nous avons tous appréciée. Les bancs sur la terrasse ne sont pas confortable, par contre, ils nous fournissent un coussin pour le dos, sans problème! Nous y retournerons.
Wasn't disappointing but wasn't wow either for the price. A pretty average restaurant, definitely better South/South-East Asian restaurant options in the area, but I would definitely recommend this restaurant for hosting a dinner with large groups. Menu is confusing & all over place from boas, to pad thai, & calamari, but there's something for everyone! Service however was a solid 5/5, despite being a big group, everyone's food arrived at the same time.
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👍🏻

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.
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 😊
Nice food & portions, yet the service could be better. I consider this restaurant a nice discovery. I really liked the presentation, the taste & the portions. It was fresh & tasty. Regarding the service, it's difficult to get a waitress to bring more water or the bill. I went twice, once inside & the other time in the terrace, & both times I had the same experience. Both waitresses were out smoking - hopefully this can be improved because the food is really nice.

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.
Cuisine asiatique raffinée & inventive. C'est bon, les prix sont raisonnables, la terrasse est agréable. Merci Kendra pour ton service agréable, efficace & attentionné.
