Black Sesame was the closest place to the hotel I am staying at where a person could get their fix for Korean ramen. While the inside of the restaurant itself isn't certainly anything to write home about, the food more than makes up for the lack of ambiance easily making finds like thjs the best part of venturing out for new places to try. A group of my friends and I were greeted with very warm and friendly service. The menu is varied, containing sushi, ramen, and even some Chinese dishes. I went with a classic Korean ramen with seafood and requested extra spicy. I also ordered a side of kimchi because any good Korean place can be measured only by how good the kimchi, ramen, or bibimbap is. The kimchi was a definite homerun, with a pleasant level of acidity and spice from the fermentation. The seafood in the ramen was not only a very generous portion and contained shrimp, clams, and calamari. I also give my regards to the chef for accommodating the level of spice I wanted because I prefer Korean ramen super spicy and not only did the broth have a great flavor, it also had a very nice kick of heat. My friends seemed to also enjoy their food as well with them ordering ramen, kimchi fried rice, lo mein, edamame, goyza potstickers, and even a bento box. The only small downfall was the restaurant was out of tapioca pearls for boba but nothing I can't solve by investing into my own factory to supply the world with much needed tapioca pearls. Overall the experience was excellent and prices were generous! My meal totaled about $22 which isn't bad considering the portions are massive! If you have an itch for Korean food, Black Sesame is a must try if you are in the area!
The orange chicken actually had slices of orange in them. The food was freshly prepared, served hit and with a smile.I must say that the chicken meat could have been fresher, but the taste was nearly perfect except for two or three of the pieces. Their serving size is not as generous (or as fresh and high quality) as Taste of Asia, my favorite place to eat orange chicken, but with a little improvement, they can certainly compete with T of A.I certainly recommend trying them.
We decided to lunch here since we had ordered Uber eats before but this time the sushi was stale and dry. The shrimp sushi was bad and had a pungent smell, I threw up as soon as I ate it. Sushi rice was bad too.
Stale dry meat and the chicken is way over cooked to the point it’s hard and my dog wouldn’t even want to eat it
Good food prepared when ordered. Will come back. Came back to upgrade my review. Have thoroughly enjoyed the Spicey Korean Ramen with pork.
I love eating here/taking out! Food is always so fresh. I've been here several times and never had any problems. Introduced a few of my friends to Black Sesame and they all keep going back!
Tried this place for the first time and the sushi roll I got (Alaskan) was not good. Not sure if it was the rice roll or fish on top, but it did not taste fresh or very good. It was priced a little high so I thought it may be good, but NO. Get sushi somewhere else.
Easy to read menu, decent prices, the employee that took my order was nice. I’d give the fried rice in the Benton combo a 7/10 just because it needed more flavor. I did notice and liked how an employee would sweep very constantly, and even cleaned the glass doors. I love a clean restaurant!
Made fresh always for everything. Place even has a drive through.I have been a customer here for couple of months for over a dozen visits and this place has never failed the taste or the freshness test.As for my recommendation I have tried alot of stuff here and pretty much love all of them but my favorite has to be the black sesame spicy fried rice and the hot and sour soup.If you order the hot and sour soup its a meal by itself. I just order steamed rice on the side and eat the rice with the soup.
My first time visiting today, I personally didn’t like the veggie ramen but I kindly asked for an exchange for the Yaki Udon. And the ladies that helped me were so nice and accommodating to my situation. Amazing customer service, very clean restaurant, super sweet owner, and many many food options. Will definitely be visiting again! Thank you ???
