It was ok but on the expensive side. Some of the food was good (mainly the dumplings, the poke bowl & the shrimp tempura), the general tao is very bland; the sauce was sweet but didn't taste like general tao - more like generic Asian sauce for white people & the chicken was clearly frozen nuggets or something - more breading than chicken. The wonton soup had 2 wontons in it, mushrooms & a baby bok choy but tasted overly like chinese five spice or star anise, so if you like the traditional wonton soup from most chinese restaurants you will be sorely disappointed. I ordered shrimp & tofu chow mein & I only got shrimp... & the sauce for it was basically sweet soy & perfumed ginger, & there was a lot of it which made the noodles soggy. I left most of it because it just wasn't great. The chicken bao was pretty bland as well & the chicken itself was mostly batter with hardly any chicken (again, probably frozen), & the bao had a bunch of cilantro in it, hidden under the lettuce. I don't know which bao this was supposed to be (I'm guessing the spicy one), as it also came with avocado & the general tao one did not have either (avocado or cilantro) listed as an ingredient on the menu, it was also missing the cheese. I'm glad it wasn't me eating it but my poor husband had a reaction to the cilantro & had to take an allergy pill when we got home because of it. I guess we found out the hard way that he's also allergic to it like I am (at least it wasn't a life threatening reaction but seriously, that should have been listed on the menu!)

I will say the peanut sauce was also decent (though a bit on the sweeter side). All in all the dumplings & peanuts were good but if I want to spend money like that I'll go for dim sum.

Our server was nice & polite, as was the rest of the staff so no complaints there, but the food wasn't anything to be thrilled about, especially at the cost we paid for it. I'm not a foodie, so maybe that's my problem. I like good food, & I don't mind spending money on good food, but I don't follow these food trends & fusion joints because they can't decide what kind of restaurant they want to be. This place honestly just feels like a bunch of white people trying & failing to make Asian food, & I say Asian because there was no direction it in. Could've been Thai, or Japanese, or Chinese, but the only thing it really was, is confused fusion that just tastes overly salty & overly sweet.

Perfect place for a date night! 🥰 Sesame is a great spot for good Asian food & drinks 👌🏽 We had shrimp chips, Thai sweet chilli chicken, dumplings, chowmein, & the spicy chicken Bao. I do think that the chicken Bao could have been a bit more spicy & seasoned (but I guess that's just my Indian palate talking 😂). Do try their Sesame Bomb drink if you like fruity drinks with a kick 😉 (some might need a few extra!)

I loved their service - our server was so warm & friendly. The ambience is calm & cozy, bathrooms all clean as well 😃 They even gave us a 10% off coupon for our next visit ☺?

Overall, this was our first time & we were really happy. We wish them the best! 💖

The food was not good, it was not authentic asian cuisine. The dumplings were frozen, the general tao was basically a chicken nugget covered in sauce, the thai beef curry tasted like It was made from beef bouillon & water, my soup my cold. over all not good food, not worth the price

Service was spot on but issue with the general Tsao I'm kinda disappointed felt like they gave 6 small pieces of chicken fingers & tossed it in there sauce which wasn't bad . I just I think they should batter there own chicken price was 25 something I felt like they could of put more meat for that price range rice was kinda bland & over cooked same with the veggies there's some new game in town I'm sure this place has some other dishes I could flatter them about but this just wasn't the one .

Food was substandard. Vegetables were tasteless they offered to add salt or soya sauce, General Tao chicken was over fried/cooked & the sauce was vinegary. Service was good I would rate them 4 out of 10

Ordered through doordash & was disappointed with the tom yum soup, which was basically tomato soup with 2 tiny shrimp & the Bol Tao, which only came with 4 pieces of chicken in the bol..

It was my first time tonight for date night at this awesome new resto in my area. I cannot say enough good things about this place! Atmosphere & vibe are fantastic! Laura was our waitress & she was very attentive for every part of our meal. Our entrée was a nice portion of edamame seasoned to perfection. After this the peanut butter dumplings were absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of sauce! Our main meal consisted of menu B for 2 which included: red curry beef,shrimp pad thai,general tao chicken,rice,papaya salad & tom yum soup. dessert was a mango sorbet with a big pot of tea(of your choice). Jessica the manager was super friendly as always...will definitely be going back as often as possible! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

We were a bit disappointed that the pork & shrimp dumplings were not available, so we ordered the chicken dumplings & they were amazing. I had the General Tao with chicken & it was so good. My friend had the Shrimp Teriyaki Stir Fry & said it was really good as well. We really enjoyed the Café Da but feel if it was stirred it would have been better. The sweetness was all in the last couple of sips & the first few were not sweet at all. Service was outstanding.
