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.
Overall, reviews portray Sésame as a stylish Asian fusion spot with tasty, well presented dishes, generous dumplings, and reliable service that helps guests enjoy a meal before a show. The menu covers favorites like General Tao, pad Thai and salmon tartare, with flavorful sauces, fresh ingredients and appealing cocktails, and the atmosphere is described as lively yet welcoming in a great downtown location. While the space can be loud when busy and service pace varies, the hospitality and quality keep guests returning and recommending Sésame for a satisfying, affordable dining experience before a show.
This is a lovely place to sit outside in a nice night. We didn't order much stuff, in fact we started by ordering a sample of dim sum dumplings. Because the light was low, I was not able to distinguish between the different dim sum. But most disappointing is that I was served the smallest Negroni that I ever got at any restaurant!
J'ai été très déçue de la nourriture. Les dumplings aux arachides étaient froids, la sauce gélatineuse. Bref, pas bon. Le service était lent mais les serveuses étaient très gentilles. Je ne recommande pas.
Super Bon service par notre serveuse, les dumplings crevettes & porc Wonton frits, Général Tao super bons mais le riz frit aux légumes & les Calmars pas méchant mais je ne recommande pas ! Belle ambiance, bon service si je vais retourner...Oui probablement !

Les dumplings étaient encore gelés . Quand on nous en a apporté d'autres , ils n'étaient pas vraiment plus chaud & l'intérieur ne semblait pas cuit.
La nourriture était très décevante. On dirait du réchauffé.
Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant.
Soupe tiède, dumplings froid & nous avons quitté sans repas principal après plus de 2 heures d'attente.........
Tu ne remplies pas ta salle quand tu n'as pas de cuisiniers
Succulent Pokebowl au thon & que dire des Dumpling! Belle ambiance avec les grandes fenêtres & le festival Montréal en lumières! Le Cherry blossom (cocktail) était très bon aussi! Bref délicieux de A à Z & service chaleureux & courtois! Génial!!! On y retournera!
Très bonne ambiance, personnel super le fun, bon choix de menu. Très bons dumplings. Ce n'est pas de la haute cuisine, ni du vin extra, mais ça fait la job.

Ordered dumplings & they were lukewarm & did not taste fresh. Had the salmon tartare which was good but my friend's Poke bowl did not look fresh as well.
Tout était excellent, entrées & dumplings mais le Général Tao était tiédasse & le poulet très sec.. Même si nous l'avons dit à la serveuse, elle ne nous a pas proposé de le changer, elle a simplement dit qu'elle ferait le message en cuisine.... Mais en général on y retourne.
Cool atmosphere but definitely not a great restaurant. The dumplings were not very good & the salmon in the Poke bowl was not fresh at all. I would not recommend. I spoke to the manager & he didn't seem to care.
