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.

We had to make a reservation through this website in order to get a table at Sesame because it was quite full every day. I ordered the medium-sized tom yum soup with noodles & a Geisha Blush cocktail, while my friend had a tofu stir-fried. The portion of the food was reasonable with the price but the soup wasn't steaming hot when it was served. I ordered a small-size cocktail & I wished I ordered a big one instead cause it was really delicious. The waitress was really nice & attentive. Would recommend to go on either a Wednesday or a Thursday cause that's when they have a discount on their alcoholic beverages.

Première visite avant un spectacle chez Duceppe. Très bon accueil avec respect des règles sanitaires. Service impeccable. Notre serveuse nous a fait de bonnes recommandations & s'est assurée que nous étions sur à l'heure pour notre spectacle. Bouffe de très bonne qualité. Soupe won ton, rouleaux de printemps, tartare, sauté poulet aux arachides avec crème glacée aux sésames (il faut l'essayer) & moelleux aux chocolat pour les plus gourmands. N'oubliez pas de débuter par un cocktail & de faire confiance à l'accord vin proposé. On y retourne? Sans hésitation

Un repas excellent & des cocktails délicieux. À surveiller: la climatisation au 2e étage est parfois inégale (on gèle, ensuite on sue 5 minutes plus tard) & le service était un peu lent... hasard? Je vérifierai à ma prochaine visite!

Souper d'anniversaire ce soir, très déçu
Poulet général Tao , pané & congelé au lieu de tempura, la sauce insignifiante juste sucré,
Poulet cari rouge & lait de coco, ou était le cari rouge & le lait de coco? on se le demande encore, très fade... pour ma part un boeuf à l'orange très plate, sans saveur, qui goûtait aucunement l'orange, texture bizarre & du riz réchauffé au micro-onde pogner en motte.. Comme en entrées des dumplings très décevants sans oublier les cocktails qui goûtait le parfum, vraiment pas bon... Payer presque 200$ a trois personne pour manger de la bouffe à peine plus haute que celle de cafétéria c'est de l'arnaque.

& les salle de bains, sans eau chaude, sans chauffage.

bref très très déçu c'était la première & la dernière fois.
