Review Summary

Sésame is a well-regarded restaurant that is frequently praised for its fresh, flavorful pan-Asian dishes, with popular items like the General Tao chicken, poke bowls, and creative mocktails often highlighted. The restaurant serves as a convenient and popular dining destination, particularly for those attending events in the downtown area. While many guests enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, pleasant decor, and efficient service provided by the friendly staff, some visitors have noted inconsistencies regarding noise levels, occasional service delays, or portion sizes. Despite these mixed experiences, many patrons consider it a reliable go-to spot and frequently express their intention to return due to the overall quality of the food and the professional, accommodating nature of the team.

J'y suis allée avec mes collèges & nous avons bien aimé! La nourriture était bonne, les aliments sont frais & les cocktails/mocktails sont délicieux. J'ai pris le Général Tao, & il était super bon!

Very Fusion Asian. Not sure they mastered any of the dishes but it tasted fresh & accessible. The general Tao was a bit too white bread but very nicely cooked chicken, The Pad was a bit too spicy for my teen- but they did state that on the menu, we just didn't look that closely. Great location, for people watching & to admire the well designed space. The ambience, service & Cocktails were excellent

Service was excellent! Polite, efficient, quick.

Food was delicious & fresh. We had orange beef & salmon tartare. A bit too much garlic for my taste but nicely spiced & well presented.

Cocktails were also delicious!

It would have been nice to have tablecloths & cloth napkins.

Table by the window is much nicer. Middle tables are closely spaced & loud.

We were looked after by Aglaé & Carl. Both were efficient & friendly. They respected our request to enjoy our cocktails before ordering the food. I ordered the small Thai Coco soup & the peanut butter wonton. Both were delicious as were the drinks. The Orange wine was a nice find.
Reasonably priced considering the location. It was my first visit & won't be my last !

Nourriture délicieuse à chaque fois, service impeccable & ambiance toujours agréable.
Le cocktail à la fraise devrait se faire en double tellement qu'il est bon. Je recommande!

J'ai passé une soirée magnifique dans un cadre calme & serein entre cocktail d'excellence & plats goûteux. Notre serveur Carl a été au top de l'attention pour nous servir dans les meilleures conditions

Mention spécial pour la cuisine qui nous a séduit de son poké saumon qui décidément déçoit jamais.

Une place a recommander a tous & situer au coeur du centre ville

For the price, I definitely expected the food & drinks to be better. The atmosphere & service was probably what stood out the most to me.

The appetizers platters tasted ok at best. I expected more for the tasting platter but there really wasn't much for $24. The calamari was warm & didn't have too much seasoning to it ( I suppose it's because they were expecting the sauce to cover up for it?).

The cocktail I ordered tasted more like a fruity mocktail. The three Sake were definitely interesting. They all had their distinctive flavours & temperature which made the drinking experience more unique while eating.

The pokebowl was just very ordinary. The portion was decent but again nothing really stood out. The fish didn't taste all that fresh & again, It didn't have much flavour outside of the sauces.

The dessert was probably the best part of the meal. The key lime pie lime wasn't too sour & has a good hint of lime on each bite. The lava cake was chocolatey & smooth. I also ordered the black sesame icecream & thought it was pretty decent & had a good hint of sesame on each bite (considering how rare it is to actually find black sesame icecream in the first place).

One of the better highlights of Sesame was that they had really good service & the orders came in a timely manner.
