Review Summary

Sésame is a highly regarded destination, frequently praised for its delicious Asian-inspired cuisine, fresh ingredients, and inviting atmosphere. Guests often highlight the flavorful dishes, including the General Tao chicken and various poke bowls, which are complemented by a creative cocktail and mocktail menu. The restaurant’s prime location in the Quartier des Spectacles makes it a popular choice for theatergoers, and the staff is consistently described as professional, friendly, and attentive. While most experiences are excellent, some visitors have noted occasional challenges with noise levels, portion sizes, or wait times during peak hours. Overall, it remains a go-to spot for both casual gatherings and special occasions, with many patrons eager to return for the consistent quality and vibrant energy.

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.

3.0

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.

Pour la première fois, car je vais régulièrement chez vous, j'ai été déçue du plat choisi à cause des nouilles de mon Pad Thaï vraiment trop cuites!

Le service est chaleureux, l'ambiance agréable. J'ai pris un pad Thai aux crevettes qui était bon, bien qu'un peu trop salé à mon goût. Expérience positive, je recommande!

Sur 4 plats, un seulement était très bon, les autres étaient très ordinaires. Salade beaucoup trop de vinaigrette & le Pad Thaï était noyer dans l'huile.
