" Last night we celebrated a family birthday at Sesame, and it was lovely! The friendly staff greeted us with smiles, and the atmosphere was quite cozy despite needing some updates. The food was excellent. We tried a variety of dishes from the menu, including the much-praised hot and sour soup and their sweet and sour chicken, not to mention the dumplings! Everything was delicious, and the portions were more than sufficient. I’m pleased to find such authentic Chinese food nearby! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Sesame was ruined by inconsistency. What I ordered was not what I received, and I ended up with a dish filled primarily with vegetables and none of the chicken I expected. I commend the friendly staff but felt a little abandoned during the mix-up. However, the potstickers were delightful! I might consider going back for takeout instead of dining in next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently, I had a rather disappointing experience at Sesame. The food lacked the authentic taste I was hoping for—especially the Kung Pao chicken, which was notably bland. The service was adequate, but I couldn’t help but feel overlooked. The atmosphere left a little to be desired as it seems a bit dated. I think I will seek out other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our family outing, we decided to try Sesame based on the glowing recommendations. The hot and sour soup did not disappoint! The flavors were robust, and the portion sizes were generous. Our group shared various dishes including shrimp with lobster sauce and fried rice, all of which sparked joy. The service was friendly and efficient too! I will definitely come back and encourage others to visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have very mixed feelings about SESAME. On the one hand, I love the food! The flavors are mostly authentic, and the portions are generous. However, the service often leaves much to be desired. My last visit featured an inattentive waiter and an unsightly table. The décor is tired and could use a facelift. Consistency in quality seems to be dwindling, but when the food is spot on, it's hard to stay too mad. I might return, but I likely won't recommend it to friends with such rocky service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this hidden treasure! Sesame serves up the best egg drop soup I have ever tasted. Their lunch specials are a bargain, and the crab rangoon is a fantastic accompaniment. The staff is incredibly pleasant, and even during peak hours, they made sure our drinks were filled. The decor could be modernized, but I’m willing to overlook that for the amazing food and service I've received here. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful dining experience! The service is quick, and the servers are friendly, which enhanced our visit. The food is consistently great with standout dishes like the crab rangoon and fried rice. I appreciate the generous portion sizes, but the atmosphere could definitely use a little cleanliness improvement. Still, it's worth stopping by for a delicious meal. " (*Curated Review*)
