SESAME

We came here for dinner as a group of 18 people and were greeted very well by the servers. Unfortunately, they were not able to accommodate our group in a single table (despite having a reservation), but we managed to have a nice dinner here. I ordered the crispy orange beef and was expecting more of it, especially given the price, so I was a little disappointed by my dish, but the food was okay overall. Not sure I would come back to eat here

Very disappointing experience. The portion sizes were shockingly small, definitely not enough to feed an adult, especially for the price. The butter chicken tasted off, almost like it was covered in an overly sweet BBQ-style sauce. The red curry beef did not even resemble anything close to a curry and had a strange taste that didn’t feel fresh or well-prepared. To make matters worse, the naan bread was completely stale, which was really unacceptable. For what you pay, you expect quality and reasonable portions, this missed on both. We left unsatisfied and frustrated. Unfortunately, we won’t be ordering from here again or returning.

Had a lovely dinner for mothers day. We had one of the meals for two... Can't say enough how good everything was. We were definitely full and taken care of, it was a lovely meal. Thanks.

Nice interior, good service, and beautiful plate presentations. As for the food, the appetizer roll and my poke Tao bowl were not extraordinary just okay. I found there weren’t enough chicken Tao pieces, very little rice, and too much sauce.

Sesame It took a while to seat us even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. The hostess and waitress were just standing far away, and there weren’t many people at all. The seating we got was not ideal, right in the middle, on chairs with no backs, directly under a bright light. The ambience would have been better if the lights were dimmer, though the décor itself was nice. Our waitress ignored us. When one of my friends asked for cups, she brushed it off. When we asked again, she acted rude, dismissive, and made it seem like a chore to get them. We had to ask twice before they finally brought us cups. We waited quite a while to order. By the time someone came, we already knew what we wanted, so we ordered drinks, appetizers, and mains all together. Water came in just 2 glass bottles, and they never once brought more, even though there were 6 of us. The service overall was just not good. We felt ignored the entire time. They didn’t check in once or ask how the meal was, even though there were barely any tables to serve. Food: General Tao rice – Solid 7.5. It had furikake on top and was good, but the chicken tasted more like sweet & sour than General Tao. The veggies were boring—lots of peppers, cabbage, onion, a couple pieces of celery, and only one piece of zucchini. I really wish it had some broccoli. Chicken Pad Thai – 7.2. Spicy and tasty, but the heat kind of overpowered the other flavors. Not really impressive. Shrimp Pad Thai – 8. Best flavor out of everything we tried. It was spicy in a good way, but the noodles were slimy and too short, almost like they’d been cut. Vegetables were boring here too. The shrimp, though, was good and not fishy. Teriyaki – 5. Really disappointing. Almost flavorless, but somehow still had a weird off-taste. Salmon poke – 6.6. Decent but average. It lacked sauce, and the edamame was a little hard. I’ve had way better poke bowls at Poke Station. Fried wontons – 8. Tasty, crunchy, nice sauce. The filling tasted like Costco wontons, but

We had a decent experience at this restaurant, but there were some ups and downs. When we were seated, it took over 15 minutes for us to be served water, which was a bit too long, especially since we were quite thirsty. However, once I was able to get the waitress’s attention, she was very kind and polite, and from that point on, the service was good. The cocktails were a highlight—delicious and well-made. Our entrées were also enjoyable. However, the main course was underwhelming. I ordered the Pineapple General Tao, but to my surprise, there was no actual pineapple in the dish. For an Asian fusion restaurant, I expected better execution, and honestly, I prefer the stir-fry pineapple dish from Thai Express over what I had here. It just didn’t meet expectations, and I didn’t feel compelled to take my leftovers home. One thing I really appreciated was the music volume—it was lower than in many other restaurants I’ve been to, which made it easy to have a conversation without having to raise our voices. Overall, I’d rate my experience a 3.5 out of 5. There were some great aspects, but there’s definitely room for improvement, particularly with the speed of service at the start and the quality of the main dishes.

The ambience is nice and the decor is pretty, although the music was too loud, there was so much noise I could barely hear the people I was eating with. The service took a really long time, from coming to take our order, to bringing us our drinks (15-20 minutes) and brining us our diner (40min), we waited quite a lot. We believe the servers might have forgotten our food, since we saw the chef serve some tables, and the corner with heating lamps was entirely full. It is important to add that the restaurant didńt have a lot of customers when we went, there were like 6 other tables. When we finally got our food, mine was tepid, the plate was hot but not the food. The rice was slightly crusted over, like it was left too long under the heating lamp. Otherwise the food was really good, I hade the peanut with tofu and it was really good. Although I don’t think I would come back, it was not really enjoyable with the music and the service took too long.

Friday evening between 4 and 5 pm, there is practically no one. The ambiance was pretty fun. Cool music playing, lights are dimmed. It's really cozy. I went with my 12 year old daughter. She really enjoyed it. We only took appetizers, and it was plenty for us. The dumplings tasting platter is so delicious. The calmar and the tempura shrimp were really good, too. Rania was an amazing waitress. She was really attentive and very helpful.
