Family of 5 went for the 6 course tasting menu. Absolutely delicious food - there was so much! Set menu brought out in different courses. Tom Yum soup was delicious but don’t worry - it’s not spicy but still very good. Served with tea and ice cream sampler for dessert. We only had 2 hours as we were going to see the fireworks in Old Montreal at 10 - if I went again I would have preferred to have 2.5 to 3 hours as we rushed to get through the courses at the end. Friendly staff, wine was reasonably priced and was 15% off with the tasting menu. Tasting menu was tremendous value - only $44/ person

Incredible food - highly recommended. Consider reserving a table ahead of time - very busy and popular place.

My grandmother, my mother and I visited Sésame while traveling to Montréal on a trip. Sésame was recommended to us by a hotel staff. I ordered dumplings and a burger, my mother ordered noodles, and my grandmother ordered shrimp fried rice. My meal was delicious, especially the dumplings. Everything was plated excellently, and our waiters were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come here again if I ever come back to Montréal. The only bad thing about this restaurant was the wait for the food, which was long. However, the service and food made up for this small grievance. I highly recommend you come here.

I ordered take out but I really liked the decor I would definitely come back for a dine in. They have a nice selection of vegan food that was pretty good and tasty and I watched the cooks as they made the dishes they clean/wash the pots/pan between each meal to avoid cross contamination, they even ask if you have any allergies or restrictions when you order so it's a good allergy and vegan friendly spot. The prices are better at the counter than if you order online.

food: 7.5/10vibe/decor: 9/10really enjoyed the fusion asian cuisine here!! (general's tao chicken) + (salmon tartare, highly recommended!)

Went here for lunch with my coworkers and ordered our dishes to go. I ordered the salmon and tuna poke bowl and was quite disappointed. The fish didn’t taste fresh and the bowl itself tasted quite bland. There was not a good rationof toppings to rice as there was way too much rice. The workers also seemed quite confused when we came to pick up our order. For instance, when we asked for our order, they said they didn’t it have it but It was right behind them. Also we asked if there were chopsticks in the bag and they said there were but when we opened the bag, there were no chopsticks. Wont be coming here again unfortunately ?.

Général tao est vraiment bon, mélange de légume salé avec sauce tao sucré mélangé ds le riz ?

If you want have a semi-fancy dinner, you should definitely visit! Prices to proportion comparison is ok, but the food was delicious! If you like sweet cocktails, the blushing geisha is a must! Our waitress was absolutely kind and sweet; made our entire experience worthwhile! Would definitely go for a date/girls night out.

The service is great, but sometimes a little bit slow. Not the fault of the employees since they seemed very understaffed. They were still super polite and respectful!The food itself wasn't that great in my opinion, the won-ton soup has way too many things inside it and wasn't appealing. As for the General Tao, it was great but tasted like a chicken nugget dipped in sauce.Wouldn't go back - but it's a very nice location with respectful staff.

First time here and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The Choco Lava Cake is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service I received was so amazing and I will definitely be back again. They made me feel welcomed and gave an amazing experience.
