La nourriture est vraiment très bonne.
C'est savoureux.
Update fév. 2026 :
Il y a une soupe ramen pour un temps limité sur le menu, elle est très bonne. & les mocktails sont un délice pour les yeux & les papilles.
La nourriture est excellente! Soupe wonton très parfumée & boullion parfait. Les rouleaux impériaux sont les meilleurs que j'ai mangé; croustillant à l'extérieur & pleins de saveur. J'ai moins aimé mon tofu au beurre, la sauce avait un goût que je n'aimais pas mais je me connais pas la différence avec le tofu au beurre de l'Inde que j'aime toujours. Mon ami a adoré tout ce qu'il a commandé. Très joli décor & ambiance. Service rapide & courtois. Je le recommande!

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.
They do have a great selection. I The Tom Yum soup with tofu in it. As well as the papaya salad. Everything was really good. I like that. It is a little bit of a nicer vibe so it's quick food but not exactly fast food. It was a nice place. I feel like the dinner vibe would be really nice here too.
The only thing is, I did find the salad a touch sweet. The service was a bit on the slow side, but other than that, it was great.
Belle découverte! On a pris une assiette à 2 (menu B) & les quantités sont probablement bonnes pour 3 personnes tellement qu'il en avait! On a choisi la soupe thai coco - plus thai que coco mais quand même délicieuse. Beau petit restaurant raffiné & bien stylé. On a particulièrement aimé le général tao & le pad thai - un peu moins le boeuf. La préparation du riz est tout simplement parfait. Rendu au dessert, nous avons chacun eu un choix de crème glacé: le meilleur est à la mangue. La serveuse était passionnée & a rendu la soirée mémorable. MERCI!

Restau très agréable où nous aimons aller pour l'athmosphère & le service. La sauté teryaki m'a très déçu. Très bon goût mais je changerais le poulet en lanière du sauté (aussi la quantité quitte à monter le prix.). On dirait des lanières à sandwich achetées au costco & non du poulet typique de restaus thai. Tres bonne soupe & wong tong aux arachides.
Un petit bistro sympathique avec un service rapide & professionnel. Mais attendez, le meilleur est le menu. Un beau choix de dumplings, nouilles, sautés, pokés, soupes & salades. Notre choix s'est arrêté sur l'assiette dégustation dans petits plats & plateau dégustation dumplings (le plateau de 10 ne sera pas suffisant) accompagné d'un vin Cabernet Sauvignon d'Espagne. Au final un endroit accueillant & a prix raisonnable qui vaut le détour!

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
Je suis allé au Sésame à Vaudreuil-Dorion, pis honnêtement… wow. 🔥 Tout était impeccable du début à la fin. La bouffe? Un vrai délice, chaque bouchée était pleine de saveurs, bien présentée, juste parfaite. Le service? Sérieusement, au-delà de mes attentes. & je dois donner une mention particulière à mon serveur Yuri: ce gars-là était juste sacoche. 🙌 Attentif, sympathique, rapide, de bonne vibe, il a rendu l'expérience encore plus mémorable.
C'était pas juste un souper, c'était une expérience malade que je recommande à 1000%. Si vous cherchez un resto où la qualité, le service & l'ambiance se rejoignent, allez direct au Sésame. Merci à toute l'équipe, vous avez assuré! 👏
The service was horrible!! We waited 10 minutes to get a glass of water another 10 before they took our orders maybe more! Then the food came before we even got our drinks!!! They brought me wonton soup instead of peanut butter wontons(big difference), I already ordered a coconut thai soup why would I order 2 soups! Then when I actually got my drink it wasn't even what I ordered, i orders a sesame sangria & they brought me a bloody Cesar!!!!not the same at all! They didn't do anything to compensate for all the mistakes! I use to go before,they had an amazing manager! & sadly they let her go! Not the same!
Went on a Friday night around 8pm. The place is on the smaller side & we had No reservation but we managed to get a table for 2 right away anyways. Ambience & decor is very nice. Hostess & server were both very kind & professional. Took awhile for our food to come out-the server was working both sides so maybe they were short staffed but there were several people on the floor.
The food was not great. No depth to flavours & was Mediocre at best.
The calamari-crispy but doused in the sauce.
Tasting platter- tempura covered in the same sauce as the calamari, wontons & papaya salad nothing special. Imperial rolls were good.
Dumpling tasting platter: couldn't differentiate the different types. They all tasted the same & again no exceptional flavours. Soups: we had the TomYum- low spice level & overtaken with lemongrass. Same with the Thai coco. Hardly any coconut milk. Heavy lemongrass flavour.
Husband ordered a cocktail (Negroni yuzu sour) which was ok.
Overall the experience was disappointing & we would not return. I recognize everyone has different tastes but this really missed the mark. I don't even think it was an'off-night' except for the fact service was a little slow. The execution & flavour development of dishes needs improvement. I'll also note the server gave us some coupons for our next visit which was appreciated but won't be used.
Tout a été presque parfait, y compris le service. Le bon service a débuté en nous permettant de changer de table avec haute banquette (table que ne permet pas à nos pieds de toucher par terre & créée des malaises aux jambes) pour coller 2 tables classiques plus basses. Très apprécié Merci. Le seul point négatif a été un des 4 repas commandés: la salade de crevettes. Il n'y avait que 4 crevettes & plein de verdure dans la salade dites aux crevettes. Nous avons fait venir la serveuse pour'se plaindre' qui a été immédiatement voir le cuisinier. Elle a rapporté un beau bol rempli de crevettes fraichement cuites à mettre dans la salade, & ce, en s'excusant de la part du resto & nous garantissant que ce'non-supplément' ne serait pas facturé. Les 3 autres repas, y compris la soupe won ton furent dévorés des yeux & de la bouche.
Vraiment un délice chez vous. D'ailleurs, autre point à ne pas négliger dans le bon service, une des 4 personnes n'avait pas commandé de soupe, mais la serveuse en avait une sur son carnet. Elle l'a tout de même remise à la personne en mentionnant qu'elle ne serait pas facturée. Ce fut le cas. Bref, malgré c'est quelques pépins que le resto à su gérer avec doigté-diligeance-& bienveillance envers des clients qui n'y viennent qu'au 3 mois, tout a été délicieux & parfait. Merci au chef, aux serveuses, & au gérant pour cet écoute envers les clients.

This was by far one of the best Asian Resto we have ever been too. Everything was absolutely delicious! We had the edemame, won ton & Tom yum soups, General Tao chicken, Curry Beef & the shrimp pad Thai ! Thank you for an amazing experience cheers to the staff who were awesome ! 10/10
C'est la 2e fois que nous y allons. Honnêtement nous avons eu du très bon service mais la bouffe n'est vraiment pas bonne. La soupe goutais rien, le Teriyaki beaucoup trop sucré, & le pad thai trop cuit.
Je ne le conseil a personne. Beaucoup trop chère pour la qualité de repas que nous avons reçu.
Je suis allée pour souper avec mon conjoint un mardi soir. La nourriture est excellente & les portions sont généreuse. Soupe won-ton assez salée, mais pas trop, selon mes préférences.
Nous sommes allés un mardi soir, & le resto avait l'air quand même assez occupé, mais une seule serveuse qui faisait aussi hôtesse. Donc délais pour amener à boire, délais pour recevoir le plat principal & verres vides qui s'accumulent sur la table.
Par contre, elle était très gentille & polie, donc sans doute qu'elle était seulement débordée.
J'y retournerai
