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.

Josie, we are very sorry your experience was so disappointing. We apologize for the small portions, the off-tasting butter chicken, the strange red curry beef, and the stale naan.

We understand how frustrating this must have been and value the chance to learn from your comments so future guests have a better experience.

Our server Lily Rose was amazing!! You’re lucky to have her! Pad thai was not enjoyable. Tao and Bao were delicious

Simple Asian cuisine experience overall. The bao with Tao chicken was a bit disappointing — slightly dry and missing sauce — but the orange beef was delicious. The peanut butter dumplings were quite sweet, but still enjoyable. Service was simple and pleasant.

Thanks for visiting SESAME VIEUX-MONTREAL! So glad you enjoyed the orange beef and the pleasant service. Sorry the Tao chicken bao was dry and the dumplings too sweet. What could we improve to earn 5 stars?

An excellent experience. The food was superb. Service was friendly and fast. It was also a birthday dinner for us and the key lime pie was complimentary and amazing. This spot is great.
