Easily the best poke & tartare I've ever tasted. Starting with salmon, it's easily the freshest cut in both plates, without a vinegar taste (some places put vinegar in tartare, but it's not the case here). For the poke, ginger, seaweed salad, & a mix of normal salad & a little rice with edamame. Both are accompanied with some kind of rice chip (not bread). The atmosphere is bistro lounge-type with nice music & decor that suits the place really well. There's a possibility to sit outside, but I like the atmosphere inside better. Staff is really friendly & recommended a negroni-like drink. I definitely recommend this place.

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
Bonne place. Je recommande si vous voulez de la bonne nourriture. Ce n'est pas cheap mais on pay pour du bon manger. Il y a aussi un patio pour manger dehors qui est bien. Je recommande aussi d'y manger sur place. C'est une bonne ambiance & la serveuse que j'ai eu était gentille.

We were celebrating our anniversary & as my wife is Chinese we were looking for something on the off island side of the bridge & I stumbled onto Sesame. I looked it up & it looked promising so off we went. We were not disappointed.The restaurant is in a non- descript parking & shopping area but the interior is nicely decorated. We were greeted right away & our waitress was very quick & cordial. The menu is quite extensive with a host of Asian fusion dishes but we decided on Imperial rolls to start & then 2 mains, orange beef & rice & a Sesame salad with shrimp. We also ordered some camomile tea.The rolls arrived quickly. They were hot, crispy & flavorful, all a roll should be. The two main dishes arrived shortly after & were really large. The salad was replete with a mixture of a dozen vegetables with avocado & shrimp. Very tasty. The orange beef was excellent with a subtle orange sauce on a large bed of rice. We split the two dishes & the combo worked very well. The tea was the perfect accompaniment. Our waitress checked us regularly & refilled our tea pot. It was a lovely evening & the price was very reasonable. We'll be back for sure.
Ambiance très jolie. Pour le service, c'est à nous de verser tous les verres d'eau grâce au pichet mis sur la table. On etait assez surpris que le premier verre n'est pas servie. Nous avons reçu notre repas 10 minutes après avoir place la commande.
Nourriture bonne mais pas plus que ça.
Que dire! Notre serveuse était vraiment genêt efficace. La gérante m'a donné une plante juste parce que j'aimais les plantes autant qu'elle! Quelle équipe de feu!
excellent, beau resto, très bon service très jovial
seul bémol, les portions ne sont vraiment pas grosses, il vous faudra plusieurs assietes si vous avez faim
Everything was wonderful! We were a large group & the staff was very attentive & helpful. Great food & nice atmosphere! Thanks for a lovely evening. I would definitely go back.
Très bel endroit, un beau menu de qualité mais lsi je suis objectif, les prix des entrées vous limitent & vous avez tendance juste prendre un plat mais les portions des plats sont un peu limitées je trouve pour ça. Aussi, ambiance gâchée par une musique trop forte & pas raccord avec le lieu.
We were well served but 4 different persons served us. I would have appreciated a more personnalized approche. My wife asked for more water & got it but I did not get more water at the same time. We were at the table just beside the entrance door, some what unpleasant.
