Bon service, serveuse très gentille.
Portion, cela dit, plutôt petite (Pad thaï aux crevettes)
On a tout de même passé un bon moment!

J'ai pris un Pad Thai poulet pour me rappeler des souvenirs, il était bon mais sans plus. Généreux sur le poulet mais manque de légumes. Les serveuses étaient adorable mais malheureusement le lieu est un peu trop bruyant.

Had a delicious dinner here. Comfortable dining area with option to dine on outdoor patio. They have a mix of pan Asian dishes & did everything well. They had meals for 2-4 but we ordered a few items off the regular menu apps, mains & desserts. We had a round of beautiful cocktails/sake flight & then ordered or my son first: the shrimp tempura & fried rice no protein. These were both outstanding; tempura was so crispy & drizzled with spicy & savory sauces - fried rice was savory & bold giving mild Pad Thai flavors topped with peanuts.
Mains started with the juicy Pork & kimchi dumplings; Crispy Orange beef; Salmon tartare with green salad dressed in a creamy sesame dressing; MIL ordered the sampler as main that included Papaya salad/Wontons/shrimp tempura/Vegetable spring rolls with fish sauce. Finished with desserts: green tea & black sesame ice cream & key lime pie.

Had the Pad Thai & the Papaya Salad. Both were bland, lacking in the flavours I usually expect.
Service was good & we got seated quickly on a busy night.

SESAME was exactly what it said it was, an Asian fusion restaurant. I always wanted to try this place since it looked so chic on the outside. Walking into the restaurant, it was just that.
We ordered the salmon tartare for an appetizer, which was delicious & fresh. For main, I got the pad thai with tofu, & my partner got the orange chicken. I was craving Thai food earlier in the day, & this pad Thai was the best pad Thai I've had in a while.
It was so flavorful & had the right ratio of noodles to ingredients. I was stuffed by the time I finished, & I immediately recommended this place to someone who loves pad thai. The orange chicken, too, was so tender on the inside & so full of flavor on the outside. Paired with the rice & vegetables, it made a balanced meal.
Overall, I would come back for the pad thai. If I'm ever in the area craving Asian food again, I'm sure I'll be there.

Amazing Thai! Great casual atmosphere with a focus on group gatherIngs! Would highly recommend for Thai food lovers!

I was yearning for Asian food & I came across this menu online & noticed the Thai options they had, so I walked here a few blocks from the hotel I was staying in. They were moderately busy on a Tuesday night & they greeted & seated me immediately. My server was great, very friendly & helpful. The menu had a couple of items that looked appetizing, such as the Tom Yum soup & curry chicken stir fry.
I started with jasmine hot tea, which was excellent & warming after the walk in 2 degree weather. The soup was warm as well, but flavors weren't as authentic as I expected. It was decent though. Next up was the curry chicken stir fry & it was really bland, so I used a bunch of their hot sauce to spike it up. I've never been to a Thai spot that didn't have birds eye chili & Prik nam pla, as their hot sauce was a form of sriracha. It was spicy, but not much flavor.
Overall, the venue was beautifully decorated & service was great, but food mediocre.

I ordered the pad see ew & my friend got the pad Thai. Both noodles were really hard. Pretty restaurant though

Ce restaurant situé en plein coeur de la place des arts offre un endroit lounge très agréable. Les assiettes sont pleines de saveurs! J'ai goûté la soupe de coco Thaï qui n'est pas piquante & bien parfumée, le pad Thaï au boeuf, le poké au poulet & le boeuf Teryaki étaient tous copieux. Il manquait selon moi des légumes dans le boeuf Teryaki mais mis à part cela tout était bien. Comme nous étions là pour célébrer un anniversaire, nous avons eu droit à un dessert (moelleux au chocolat) offert par la maison! Belle surprise & belle découverte!

Ma mère & moi avons passé une agréable soirée au Sésame. Nous avons été servi par Philippe, il a été aux petits soins du début à la fin. Nous avons pris un mojito & un pad Thai au boeuf, nous nous sommes régalés ! Je recommande à 100%

Food was alright. Not a lot of taste in the chicken pad thai & it seemed to have a lot of pointless ingredients in it that took away from the good parts of it. My partner got the salmon & tuna poke bowl which looked & tasted much better. Other than that it's nice spot to eat at & good decent service

Good location & good service but the recommended dishes were awful. The Pad Thai looked good but did not deserve the name. The sauce was so fishy it absolutely overpowered the entire dish, the noodles were overcooked, the chicken texture reminded me of a microwaved airplane dish. Also, the cocktails were very watered down. Overall an overpriced & underwhelming experience.

Food is at the level of Thai Express. More of a tourist trap I guess. Atmosphere is good, service is not that bad but the food is really subpar.
Ivanna
The place is nice & has a good ambiance, but the food took way too long (almost an hour) for a restaurant that was empty. Also, I got the pad thai & there were chunks of large egg rather than smaller pieces & the chicken they used was the packaged pre-cooked chicken you find at Subway. The overall flavour also wasn't there. Probably the worst pad thai I've had.
Smita
Amazing food & service. We ordered Teriyaki chicken & Red Thai Curry & pad Thai. So so delicious. So fresh flavors. Loved it
Steve
Great location, atmosphere, & service. The food itself was mostly just ok for our group of 4. Pork dumplings & deep fried wonton were good, different flavors from what we've experienced in the past. The orange gochujang, general Tao, & pad thai flavors seemed off to us, but ok. I think with a few menu changes this place cold be great.

J'ai visité le Sésame de la place des arts pour un lunch d'affaires. Le pad Thai était bon, bonne portion & bon service, prix raisonnable pour combo midi.
