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

Fun boisterous lunchtime crowd, serving delicious Asian-themed food, cocktails and mocktails. I really loved my shrimp dumplings and my mocktail, and my partner said it was the best poke he’s ever had. Great spot for lunch or after work get together.

I have been to Sesame a few times now, and twice have gotten the tasting menu for two and it was absolutely delicious. Strongly recommend topping it off with the black sesame ice cream!

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.

Thanks, Olya. Glad you enjoyed the interior, service and presentation. Sorry to hear that the poke tao bowl were underwhelming with too little chicken and too much sauce. We value your feedback and will take it into account!

The food tasted great. Unfortunately, it gave both my wife and I bad diarrhea the next day, which limited the sight seeing we planned to do.

Food was okay, server was fine as well. I got the salmon and tuna poke bowl and the raw fish gave me food poisoning. Extremely disappointed with this. Greens were also not fresh. It is most unfortunate as the previous times have been much more pleasant.

Restaurant response

Response added on 30 Mar 2026

Very sorry, Astrid. Becoming ill after your salmon and tuna poke bowl is unacceptable, and the wilted greens are disappointing. We take this seriously and are reviewing our food safety and quality to do better next time. Please write us at [email protected] to give us more information. Kind regards.

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. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate you sharing these concerns as we strive to improve quality and consistency. We understand how frustrating this must have been and value the chance to learn from your comments so future guests have a better experience.

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.
