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.
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.

Food always pleases, clean, great ambiance, staff were all amazing. Great selection of cushion dishes. Good verity if vegetarian & gf options too. Street parking. The washroom was very poke & had a super low ceiling so 3/5 for overall atmosphere.
Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with friends & family at sesame. The service was timely & our waiter was lovely. The food portions were quite large for the price, with outstanding quality & price. I was a little disappointed though as I did make a note that the dinner was a double birthday celebration & it was never mentioned, definitely would have liked the option for some sparklers or something on the dessert.
Il y avait plusieurs plats de non disponible sur le menu.
J'ai pris un repas de tartare de saumon. La portion était vraiment petite, le goût était bon. Les frites en accompagnement étaient décevantes. Frites congelées au lieu de bonnes frites maison.

Tout était parfait; les mocktails, la nourriture & l'ambiance. En plus, le service de notre serveuse était hors pair!! Nous sommes vraiment heureux d'avoir choisi le Sésame du quartier des spectacles pour notre dîner entre amis!!
