After reading reviews on Yelp and here, I had hoped this would be my solution for good chinese food in the area. Though it is a step above Mandarin Bistro down the road, I was still disappointed in the americanized dishes. Sauce is good as an accent, not a major part of a dish and consistently that is what has... More

We visit our neighborhood Sesame Inn restaurant about 2-3 times a month. We can always count on friendly, courteous service, followed by consistently delicious food served piping hot. Besides having the usual "American" Chinese food menu, they have an extended menu offering more traditional Chinese dishes. You must try these (too) for a wonderful taste sensation! The staff is cordial,... More

And I have tried just about all of them. The orange chicken, house shrimp with broccoli in the sweet honey glaze and the garlic green beans are all awesome. Xlint mu shu dishes and good soups. The location is in an old strip mall - but it is worth searching out. I almost forgot, the Kung pao is also great.... More

We went to the Sesame Inn on the advice of a friend. Since the family has eaten there, we've not gone for Chinese food anywhere else. We're working our way through the menu and have not yet found anything that wasn't good! More

This little place is a neighborhood jewel! Jennifer and Paul learn customers' names, and make us feel very welcome. The Szechuan and Hunan style food is straightforward - not hugely elaborate banquet style - but charming and delicious. Servings are large. There are a few Cantonese-style dishes on the menu, including an amazing Fu Yong. Ask for the "New Menu"... More
