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.

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.

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.
