Sesami

I really love this restaurant! The food is delicious.There are lots of healthy options made to order. Eat-in or take out. Quick service!

Holy Asian Fusion, Yelpers! How is it this long since I updated my review? Oh yeah. I was too busy loving their food. Sorry. My bad. My current obsession is their Bulgolgi BiBim Bowl, with its savory, slightly spice meat, fresh veggies and brown rice base. Not sauced, the flavors come from the fresh ingredients. Definitely high on my list of places in the 003.

I had a craving for Sesami this past week so went to pick up a "create your own bowl", my go to: brown ricefried tofuspinachbean sproutskim chi edamamefried shallotssesame seedsspicy sriracha aioli (on the side)Definitely satisfied my craving! Although this time I wished they put in a couple more tofu and more spinach.

We tried it out due to the effusive reviews. Walked in and it was sweltering hot, which was really strange, as it was hot outside yet cooler outside than inside. Unless you ordered online, you were going to sweat to put in your order. A very nice young man greeted us and showed us how ordering worked. All the tofu is deep fried, there is no other option. The tea automatically comes sweetened - even though it doesn't say so on the menu - and the staff wasn't certain what it was sweetened with. If we knew the tea was sweetened beforehand we wouldn't have purchased them. The food tasted good and there was a lot of it so I can see why people really like this place. The sauces are phenomenal. But it's probably not enough to bring us back.

Sesami offers fast, casual cuisine featuring Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese flavors. This small corner restaurant is at 1531 W Wynnewood Road in Ardmore. I tried the Sesame Tots, Vegetable Spring Roll, and Make Your Own Bowl. Loved the crispy spring roll and spiced tofu. I wouldn't get the soggy sesame tots again.

The service is perfect. Attentive and they greet you quickly. They do have a parking lot and you would pass them if you didn't know how good the food truly is! Flavorful and not heavy sodium. Freshly made and the dumplings were great! I enjoyed the bowls in this open space place with view of the kitchen (bonus). I would definitely return and try another bowl-- it truly doesn't matter what you pick, there is a reason they have such high star ratings.

The food is fantastic.The tea is Delicious. The service was speedy and the staff is very friendly.

I always love supporting local businesses, especially in areas that are run by chains. I found this place on Yelp and visited with a couple of friends since we were in the area and we were all impressed with what we got. The restaurant is like a modern take on Asian comfort food meets the convenience and modern adaptation of a rice bowl. The first thing I noticed about the food, they aren't stingy with the portions at all, the portions were huge! I also, really appreciated how the food had an emphasis on being healthier, I thought my bowl had a ton of healthy veg even the apps, which were fried, didn't taste heavy or greasy at all. Often times, I really hate when I eat something fried and feel like death afterwards, I didn't get that feeling here at all.The food:Night Market Chicken- Taiwanese style popcorn chicken seasoned with 5 spice served with Sriracha aioli. Oh god are these addictive! They are like a little Asian version of chicken nuggets, these were so juicy and had so much flavor. This was my fav app. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=B-KoANk97-0L1VWM9AT-8w&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlASesami Tots- Tater tots, yellow corn, edamame, carrots, black beans, cheddar cheese, green sauce, Sriracha aioli. If you ever go to a restaurant and there is a dish that is named after the restaurant, you order that dish! I thought the tots were great, they were nicely fried and I thought all the fixins made so much sense. So much different tastes and textures, it's also fun to eat.Crispy Chicken Dumplings- Juicy chicken and veggie dumplings served with sesami dumpling sauce. I thought these were made well, not super exciting but definitely solid.Sesami Chicken Flavor Bomb- BBQ chicken, brown rice, seasoned bean sprouts, grilled zucchini, house pickles, sautéed mushrooms, yellow corn, green sauce, nori and crunchy shallots. Jesus Christ there was so much food! I thought this bowl was great, nice crunchy veg with juicy and flavorful chicken with brown rice. I actually couldn't finish this and had enough for a second meal. This was the first item on the menu and for good reason, it was delicious. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wXI_y9TJi1AoMt7zvKUI3g&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA

Going to the gym on Tuesday and Thursday I pass this little corner place all the time. I decided to stop in to my surprise it was cute inside and the seating outside is great too. The manager and staff were polite and service was fast. I got there at 11:25am even tho they open at 11:30am but they were ready for me to order. I was so excited to try the teas out which they had 2 one green and one black. To my surprise they came in a cute reusable cup. I created my bowl and it was delicious the dressing was perfect. So vibrant in color and organized and layered perfect.The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is I wish it had more tea flavors and or boba tea also kid friendly options too.But if you pass by def stop by they even have shirts you can buy. I did not try the juice box which is tea but can't wait to later today.

I had a quick lunch here today, and I probably would go somewhere else next time. I liked the crispy tofu and mushrooms on my bowl, and the dumplings were okay, but nothing else was at the level I would hope for the cost. What really killed the experience though was the oppressively hot restaurant. My dining companions and I were visibly sweating, leaving wet imprints of our arms on the tables, and were told there was nothing to be done even though the wall mounted air conditioners were off. Food took over 20 minutes to arrive at the table for most of us.
