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.
The food was delicious & rice was cooked perfectly but some of the grilled veggies were undercooked. I highly recommend the tuna & salmon poke bowl. I thought that the portions would be small but the bowls are just really big & I left very satisfied:)
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.
J'ai tout aimé. Tout était délicieux, juste assez relevé à mon goût & que dire de l'option exceptionnelle des menus découvertes. Tout simplement fantastique!!. Déjà hâte d'y retourner. Bravo aussi pour le décor, l'ambiance & le service courtois, efficace & à l'écoute. On nous a servi rapidement puisque nous avions mentionné que nous avions un spectacle au TNM ensuite.

Nourriture était agréable. Seulement nous avons attendu 2 heures pour notre repas... & il avait plus de la moitié du restaurant vide. La serveuse a pris 45 minutes avant de venir prendre notre commande. Pourtant, le resto était à environ 50% occupé
Loved my experience here! The portion sizes are quite generous & the food is delicious, with a variety of vegan & gluten free options. However, the service was quite slow. I don't know if it was due to the volume of people in the restaurant or being understaffed but waited quite a while for our order to be taken.
Le moins bon Sesame que je connais. Pourquoi continuer à servir les clients quand le menu est à moitié disponible à cause d'un bris d'équipement ? & que le reste est plus ou moins? On essaye à nouveau.
The location of the place is pleasant, particularly when seated near the windows. Overall, the food quality is satisfactory, but the portions at POKE are insufficient. We found the dishes lacking in salt & sauce. The bowls are oversized compared to standard plates & portion sizes (personal opinion). Despite this, the service was excellent, although they seemed understaffed with only one person attending to everyone (who was very attentive to us). Overall, it's still recommended.

Général Tao trop épicé & trop sucré. Dumpling au poulet bon mais la sauce aux arachides beaucoup trop sucrée. Peu de subtilité dans les goûts & saveurs peu balancées. Le sauté sauce aux arachides est trop acide & le tofu manque de saveur. Verre à cocktail & verre à bière craquelé. Très beau restaurant mais les plats ne sont pas à la hauteur, & vaut mieux éviter la salle de bain...
Nice food, awful service. We waited ~1h15 for our main dishes during lunch time on a weekday. I believe our server forgot our order, & only by flagging down someone else were we able to get our food'in 5 minutes', which was ~15. I also ordered from the lunch menu, was told that coffee & tea are included in the nonalcoholic beverages part of the lunch menu, but was charged for my tea when it came time to pay. Our server seemed to be either having a terrible day or doing the bare minimum. Food was still good though.
It was nice atmosphere My order got ready quickly I ordered Won Ton soup, it was so delicious i suggest it. & for main dish i ordered Stir_fry,this one was perfect too To my mind it was good for 2 person. In total i like it
Le resto par excellence pour une sortie entre amis ou de couple! Le Sesame est de loin mon resto coup de coeur depuis les années...leur variétés de dumplings & leur tartare de saumon sont simplement: 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
