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.
Très bon repas & nous avons eu un excellent service table 42 hier soir je pense qu'elle s'appelle Sabrina. Très professionnel & aimable. Dumpling super bon & boeuf croustillant & générale Tao super aussi.

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!
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.
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! 💖
Had the orange beef. Some of the pieces were ultra-rare I discovered after eating a good amount. Hopefully they're using prime beef. A large amount of our food was served by a lady wearing running shoes, jeans & a t shirt. Kind of odd when the rest of the staff were wearing typical server outfits. The food is somewhat overpriced (especially dumplings) but it's a nice restaurant with a good vibe.
Wasn't the worst experience I've ever had but definitely nothing special.

Ordered takeout & didn't receive my free item. There was no sauce with the egg roll nor the dumplings. It's not that difficult to get such a simple order right.
I ubered some food from here & was excited to get it. I had ordered pork dumplings & wonton soup. I am very disappointed about the pork dumplings since it was 10$ & they were only four dumplings in total! The wonton soup was alright but I certainly wouldn't reorder from here. Very overpriced for little taste & quantity.
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
This is such a beautiful restaurant. Amazing decor & cozy seats . Beautiful bar area. I shared the dumpling taster & it was out of this world!! I don't think I have ever had a chicken dumplings I liked before now We then reordered the shrimp dumplings & shared some sake Really great service. We were not rushed. Our waitress was amazing & really helpful The keylime pie is super tasty too

Everything is great BUT the food is the white American version of Asian cuisine, & i say Asian because they have Chinese Japanese Thai Korean & Indian food on the menu. The dumplings were VERY small & dry & not worth the price, the salmon tartare was ok but there was pickles in it with no sesame oil or soy sauce. The karaage came with a "fancy" coleslaw. & we had to ask for chopsticks because there was none on the table. The ambiance is great, everything is clean & the staff is nice but I'm never going back.
We went to Sesame as a group of 4, 2 couples. We took the tasting menu for 4 (D). Some miscommunication seemed to have occurred & it took 20min to be acknowledged by a waiter after being seated. The food experience was overall very good, although there were no pork dumplings or tasting dumpling menu available that evening. The main dishes were very good, we had the pad Thai, the beef & coconut shrimp. The general tao was a bit too sweet to our liking & a bit too breaded. The black sesame ice cream was a hit. I would come back although I feel the value for price is pushing the pricey end of the spectrum.
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.
Bonjour je suis venu souper à votre restaurant hier soir. Super déco, super ambiance! Nous étions un groupe de 4 personnes qui aime la gastronomie & avons un fort penchant pour la cuisine asiatique. Nous avons bien compris que c'est un resto asiatique fusion. On apprécie aussi ce genre de cuisine, nous avons partager le poulet karagee, les dumpling dégustation, edadamne & chacun une petite souper pour l'entrée. Oui nous somme
De bon mangeur! Ensuite pour le repas principal deux personnes on pris le pad sew au boeuf, un pad Thai & un buns au canard avec les frite. En dessert la crème glacée sesame.
J'aimerais vous faire ma critique sans les projecteurs de Google review. Les soupes en entrée était correct, très salée, bien garnie, mais sans plus aucune émotion suite à l'avoir essayée. La tum yum était très salée elle perdait son essentiel & la coconut on aurais dit la tum yum avec du lait de coco, elle manquait d'épaisseur un peut. Ensuite les dumpling, ouin j'avoue que c'était unanime personne ne les as particulièrement aimée. Ceux au Costco congeler sont meilleure & c'est malheureux à dire, la sauce en accompagnement était bonne. Le poulet karagee avec la salade de papaye on la partager à 4 en entrée, avez vous déjà été en mangée? Je vous conseille d'allez en essayer dans un resto à ramen sa vas vous donner une meilleure idée du poulet karagee comment l'apprêtée & le look qu'il devrais avoir, des haut de cuise son souvent utilisée pour ce style de repas, je voyais le côté karagee un peut, mais t'en qu'à le cuisiner pourquoi pas y allez jusqu'au bout & c'est tellement bon! Votre sauce Mayo était bien bonne & la salade de papaye j'aimais bien l'idée des filament. J'avoue que j'imaginais un peut plus de couleur à cette salade, mais c‘étais bien quand même, je la présenterais un peut comme une salade de chou version papaye bref c'est un détails. Ensuite les edadamne c'est la première fois que j'avais l'option de mette de la lime déçu & ce fut un coup de coeur! Belle idée cetais très bon!
En continuant pour le repas principal.... Mon amie & moi on c'etais dis il faut juste que le pad sew sois meilleure qu'au thaï expresse car c'est le minimum... première bouchée la viande est très bonne c'est super on la pris au boeuf... ensuite on mange & on mange ouins... ordinaire les nouille ne sont pas super large & elle me font penser au paquet de nouille kim phat que a chaque fois je me dit je ne dois plus acheter celle si. Tout les autre ingrédients était très bien, mais je repenserais aussi la sauce un peut, plus savoureuse plus rechercher, mais surtout les nouilles plus larges changerais beaucoup. On crois que le pad sew du thaï express est meilleure rapport qualité prix malheureusement. En continuant une autre personne a pris le pad Thai il était bien je crois que les gens vont venir vouloir en manger de nouveau! Mon ami a pris le buns au canard à l'orange, ouin c'etais très ordinaire avec les frite ouff, je crois que faut décidée si vous voulez vraiment en offrir c'est spécial comme repas, les gens peut être impressionner, l'idée est très bonne mais sa pourrais être vraiment meilleure, goûter les plats & faites allez votre imagination pour les amener à un niveau supérieure! Les buns pourrais être plus fluffy aussi, mettre un peut plus de temps à la qualité du contenue aiderais grandement. Mon coup de coeur le dessert la crème glacée sesame! & mon drink limonade rose était excellent!!
Sur un autre ordre d'idée, je crois qu'aussi repenser à votre façons de marketer votre resto pourrais être intéressant, nous avions l'impression qu'on allais allez dans un resto style satay brothers avec de la bouffe à partager ou nourriture de 5 a 7, mais il avait pas beaucoup de bière ( commentaire des hommes à la table ) sur le menu, la bouffe était décevant en terme de partager. Qui dit asiatique dit plat à partager!
J'ai décidée de vous écrire ce long message car un restaurant c'est beaucoup d'effort & je crois que si les gens comme moi prend le temps de vous écrire c'est qu'il on envie que votre restaurant fonctionne & j'aimerais pouvoir dire wow cetais bon enfin un resto asiatique dans le coins car on en a pas beaucoup! & j'aimerais pouvoir dire à tout le monde allez y c'est super au Sesame!! Je sais que mon message peut semblez lourd, mais sachez que l'ambiance & le service reçu 10/10.

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.
Our appetizer of Mixed Dumplings were not enjoyed. Being in a steam basket you'd expect they'd be at least warm, but they were room temperature at best.
My main of a Stir Fry Wok Arrachides was better, but the sauce wasn't impressive.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice! The chairs at the tables in the back in the middle were small! We were 2 women & both said a man would be very uncomfortable on it.
Ambiance 10/10
Service 10/10
Plats très inégaux
Wontons à l'arachide & dumplings très bons
Soupes manquent énormément d'assaisonnement, elles goûtaient l'eau
Bams manquent de sauce, de légumes & d'assaisonnement, très décevants
Pokes manquent de sauce & portion trop petite de saumon
