Had a great meal here. Waiter was attentive, friendly and gave a great entree recommendation.We had the vegeterian Mussaman with vegetables, Chicken Fingers with fried rice and Orange Chicken. All were presented well and tasted great.The tofu in the Mussaman was pressed and prepared perfectly.Can't believe the final price as I expected it to be at least $15 more.
Food was good, but the location has some interesting history. The location was once owned by a Jewish WWII veteran that recently passed. You can still slightly make out "Ed Cohen's" behind the current sign.After the war was over he married a French Jewish lady who lost most of her family. They built a house, raised 4 children, and lived a happy life!
Ask for extra spicy General Tso's Chicken.
Yesterday i ordered from grub hub the shrimp in lobster sauce w lo main noodles instead of rice. We put special instructions on grub hub order & my boyfriend called and confirmed w the chef noodles could be substituted. What was delivered was white rice and a frozen peas & carrots w 7 shrimp in a soy sauce watery soup. No mushrooms or egg as advertised. I question "the lobster" sauce since it tasted like watery soy sauce so salty i didn't even bother getting noodles to eat it.
I ordered sesame garden through grubhub today. They sent the wrong food, and the food that was correct was not good. The calamari tasted old and stale. The tofu was not breaded well- it was falling apart. The only food that seemed fresh was the white rice. We ordered amazing chicken (the description said it was breaded, it was the last time we ordered it). They sent us unseasoned grilled chicken with random vegetables. I used to order food here all the time, and it used to be really good. I’m not sure what happened.
My cousin, his girlfriend, and their 6 month old baby visited unexpectedly last week. Yesterday was our last day with them so my mom decided that a trip to Mt. Washington for pictures and dinner was in order. She lives in Erie so could not be physically present but wanted to ensure that our party of 10 (plus the baby) would be paid for and that we had a great meal. She recommended this place and managed to call ahead of our arrival to arrange for our seating/payment/service.When we arrived, Martin (our truly fantastic server) had already set up a very long table for our large party. In fact, his service during our entire visit was wonderful - the drinks never made it to the bottom because he kept refilling them, we didn't even have to ask for take-home boxes and bags, and he was very personable with my 7 y/o son (who was showing off some "magic" tricks to him ?). Best of all, Martin took a lovely family photo of all of us posed underneath the sculpted trellis and it's probably going to wind up being one of the most treasured pictures from the trip.In addition to the fantastic service, the food was great! My General Tso's chicken was very well spiced and had lots of sauce, the wonton soup was absolutely killer, and there wasn't a single person at the table who wasn't happy with what was on their plate. It was affordable, too, especially considering how much you got for a portion.Would DEFINITELY recommended this place to anyone looking for a nice, affordable, and very tasty Chinese restaurant in which to sit down and eat. And if you're looking for a nice send-off and somewhere you can make some memories over a good meal, this is a perfect place to do so.Thanks so much, Martin! You made the last day with our cousin really special and we are most grateful for all that you did to accommodate us ???
Really good food! The flavor of the wonton soup was epic and all the meals were well prepared and tasted really good. Very helpful staff as well.
First time ordering here and it was delicious. We ordered General Tso, triple delight, shrimp in lobster sauce, beef lo mein, crab Rangoons, house salad, and egg rolls. We have a big family and there were plenty of leftovers. The receptionist was very pleasant as was the delivery driver. We will definitely be ordering here again.
My lovely bride and I had the pleasure of dining today at the Sesame Garden restaurant in Pittsburgh. This delightful eatery is located on Mount Washington near the Monongahela Incline at 202 Shiloh Street. It was less than a 5-minute walk from the incline. We were pleasantly surprised when we started eating because the food was freshly prepared. My vegetable egg roll was the best I had ever tasted, as was the chicken dish. Betty enjoyed crab rangoon, hot and sour soup, and a pork egg roll. I have eaten at many Asian restaurants in my day, but this was the best. The owner Martin took excellent care of us and provided great customer service during our visit. We will be visiting again very soon! We would highly recommend you visit the Sesame Garden restaurant and Martin during your next trip to Mount Washington.
Idk if I'm being punked or not, but I ordered Ma Po Tofu and this literally looks and tastes like they took a can of Progresso vegetable soup and tossed a few pieces of tofu in. The "sauce" is literally a broth in consistency. I never write bad reviews ever but holy hell is this bad.
