I went to Sesame with my daughter & some friends. We were seated quickly without a reservation. I was happy to see that they had a reasonably priced kids menu. The food was good, but the waitresses were either tired or new. We were missing a place setting, which isn't a big deal until you add up all the other issues. We were offered a pitcher of water, it never arrived. I originally ordered a pint of beer. But I changed my mind & asked for their signature Cesar instead. 10 mins later, she served me the beer, I brought it to her attention & she apologized. Then about 10 mins later I was served the cesar, which is garnished with a rice cracker & a piece of fried chicken. When the Cesar arrived, no garnish. The garnish only arrived when I was 3/4 done my drink. The waitress asked us if we wanted all the food served at the same time, we said yes because we were in a rush. 30 mins later we got the apps, no mains. We were missing plates to share the appetizers, i asked for plates. The waitress came back to the table with about 10 plates, she placed 2 on our table, for 5 people. I asked for more plates, she brought them quickly. We waited another 30 mins for the mains. Which she said she had put the order into the kitchen when we finished our appetizers. Everyone that was working there was friendly. However, Ive never experienced so many errors over the course of 1 meal.
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!
Server was very nice but it took forever to get our food. Birthday girl couldn't even stay for her birthday cake- she had to leave as her daughter got too tired due to eating so late.
Then her cake arrived afterwards & it was not gluten free- I had specified the need for this in our reservation.
We arrived at 5 pm & did not receive our meal until 6:30.
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.
First visit & we will definitely be back. Food was very tasty & our waiter DJ was fantastic. Although the restaurant was packed it was not noisy & easy to converse.
