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.
Reviews consistently praise Sésame for delicious and varied Asian fusion dishes, with favorites like pad thai, general tao, dumplings, and poke bowls, plus original cocktails, all served with warm, attentive service. The atmosphere is described as stylish and inviting, with beautiful lighting and a lively yet comfortable vibe that fits well for a night out or pre show dining. Guests note friendly, professional staff, quick and efficient service, and generous portions that feel good value. The location and terrace are repeatedly mentioned as nice features, and the presentation and freshness of the ingredients are highlighted across visits. While a few notes mention busier nights bringing more noise or longer pacing, the overall impression is one of consistently high quality, great flavors, and a welcoming team that makes diners want to return.
My boyfriend saw this restaurant on Tik Tok & we both agreed that it looked beautiful. I booked a reservation here for my his birthday a week in advance. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, but unfortunately we were seated right by the kitchen. The restaurant played jazz music, but the kitchen staff were blasting rap music from the kitchen, which ruined the calm, jazzy atmosphere of the restaurant. We went on a Monday night, & there were plenty of other tables we could've sat at. Considering the fact that I booked the reservation so far ahead of the date of the dinner, I expected to be sat at a table with a bit more ambiance. We were both too shy to ask our table to be switched, so we dealt with it. The service was good despite a mix-up with our drinks. My boyfriend ordered chardonnay & I ordered rosé. They served our drinks, & gave him the rosé & gave me the chardonnay. The waitress mixed up the drinks, & they also poured the drinks in the wrong glasses (my rosé was poured into the champagne glass, & vice versa). As for the meal, I ordered a tuna poke bowl & was satisfied with it, & he ordered the Bao with general tao chicken. He was not very satisfied, because his sandwich was just filled with chicken (nothing else inside the sandwich, but there was a salad on the side). He was not very satisfied with his meal, which was especially disappointing since it was his birthday. He also didn't appreciate how leaky & messy his meal was, & he found that the bread didn't absorb the liquid well. Overall, I was pretty let down by this experience, especially since it was his birthday & I made the reservation so far in advance. The reviews on Tik Tok were exceptional, & my expectations were very high. I can't say this restaurant lived up to its reviews, unfortunately. I wasn't very impressed with the service.
Très bel accueil, bon service, demande pour les allergies alimentaires lors de notre commande, offre la dégustation de vin si vous désirez choisir celui qui vous convient.

Lieu agréable, mais serveurs un peu au ralentis. Si vous prenez le menu, attendez vous à des portions très légères... Malheureusement la viande du plat était complètement cramée & a donc gâché le goût.
Superbe sortie d'amoureux! Le restaurant est magnifique. La nourriture est excellente. Le services est rapide & agréable. Merci à Greg pour son excellent service!!! Tout était parfait! 😁
