What I got was not what I was expecting (char siu and boiled egg). The plate was more egg drop soup with pork and peas. It also had a sweet flavor. - Dim sum for one: Sui mai was decent. Har gao was off. They must have put something meant for the dessert dumpling into it. Coconut didn't have the mochi consistency I was expecting. It was very soft, not at all sticky or chewy.

Lucky for me though, Sesame Garden was still open when I got to my AirBnB around 9pm. I placed my order by phone and did my research before hand on what was good here. I checked photos on Yelp and the only real item that looked reasonably good was the Mongolian Beef. The Hunan chicken looked decent too, but I could eat both, so beef it was! Have to say, that was a good choice. It was tender, saucy, and had the right vegetables that worked well with this. The most solid item that looked authentic. So food was good. Picking up the food was simple enough. Give them my name, pay for the food, and then go. Restaurant looked pretty small, but due to the weather, place was not packed at all. Support your local Chinese restaurant by the way! Overall, it's good enough for American Chinese food. Next time I'm visiting and staying 1 minute away from Sesame Garden, I'm going to get the Hunan Chicken. Looking forward to it!

This time we decided to try dinner instead and ordered the General Tso's, the Mei Fun, and Buddha's Delight. The Mei Fun came with chicken, pork, shrimp, and vegetables. I really liked the flavor of the noodles and especially enjoyed the shrimp and vegetables. The pork and chicken were fine, but I kept finding myself going back to the vegetables and shrimp. The Buddha's Delight was also good. I loved how much variety there was in the vegetables which included bamboo shoots, broccoli, onions, celery, snow peas, water chestnuts, baby corn, and mushrooms which were all standouts. I was less excited about the tofu at first, but appreciated it more the next day when I mixed them with my own noodles. The General Tso's had a well-balanced flavor and I must say that I feel this was noticeably better than Hunan Wok's version, which skews more toward candy-sweet. The service is always incredibly kind and lightning fast. While the takeout containers held up well and kept everything secure without anything leaking, my one wish is that they'd move away from black plastic containers, since black plastics can sometimes contain flame retardants being that they often used recycled electronics. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Next time I'll probably lean more toward vegetable-focused dishes, and am curious about the rest of the menu. I also plan to try bringing my own container for takeout when I come back so as to avoid the black plastic.
