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.

Succulent général tao & le poke bowl tao est à tomber par terre ! Portion généreuse & le dessert goûte le ciel. Un bel endroit pour partager un repas !

Très beau restaurant avec terrasse. Le personnel est extraordinaire. Nous avons apprécié toutes nos entrées ainsi que nos plats principaux. Je vous recommande le poke au saumon, qui était délicieux. Nous retournerons à ce restaurant.

We sat on the patio, & enjoyed the social energy of the plaza. The service was friendly & attentive. The menu was in English or French. The food was fresh & delicious! Along with a full bar menu, they offered unique (& very tasty) mocktails! The shrimp Tempura was light & flavorful. The Mini Poke Bowl, which had salmon, was balanced & the salmon was perfect. Would highly recommend a visit!

The fries & edamame are really good. We also got the beef pad Thai & tuna poke, which were good.

Soupes fades. Nous sommes des adeptes & le goût n'était pas au rendez-vous. Petites portions pour les pokés.
Ambiance jolie mais bruyante. Les tables ne sont pas assez distancées les unes des autres. Les clients s'enfargeaient constamment dans la chaise de non conjoint & il ne pouvait manger en toute quiétude car à chaque fois il renversait sa nourriture sur lui-même. Des excuses....de ses personnes....nenni.
C'est terminé pour nous de fréquenter ce resto. C'était une première & une dernière.

Very disappointed at this 3rd visit. General Tao chicken tasted & looked like KFC. Bread included (was it bread?) had freezer burn. Avocado & cucumbers were in the menu description : 1 bite cucumber, avocado non-existent. I will go back & try other dishes (their poke bowl is scrumptious 😋 - 2nd visit).

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.

the poke bowl with general tao cicken was very good & an attractive plate. ordered shrimp crackers on the side- delish. a non-alcoholic yazu ginger drink was very tasty. great view out the window. only prob- in the washroom no paper towels- have to keep up on that & the chairs need re-upholstering. but resto always enjoyable!!
