I wanted to love it, but the meats were horribly under seasoned. They really didn't have much of a taste at all, which was incredibly disappointing. My pork was stringy and mildly gamey, and my husband's chicken was just bland. Aside from that I liked my food, the veggies were fresh and service is very quick. If the meats were more flavorful this could easily be a 5 out of 5 spot. Might give them another try. read more

Sesami - Make Your Own Bowl (this was pork bulgogi and mixed veg) - Pan Asian Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

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. read more

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. read more

Sesami has quickly become my go-to spot whenever I'm unsure of what I'm in the mood for. With a wide variety of options, flavorful dishes, and relatively quick service, it never disappoints. One young man in particular always stands out, he's consistently cheerful, welcoming, and attentive to customers' needs. The food is tasty, the service is great, and the oolong tea is absolutely delightful. read more

sesami has the best food in town! high quality ingredients and resonable prices. I recommend!

I had a craving for Sesami this past week so went to pick up a "create your own bowl", my go to: brown rice fried tofu spinach bean sprouts kim chi edamame fried shallots sesame seeds spicy sriracha aioli (on the side) Definitely satisfied my craving! Although this time I wished they put in a couple more tofu and more spinach. read more

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! read more

really good and great service as well! They have place to study too loved the dumplings

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-880SZzlA Sesami 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 read more

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. read more

Sesami - Make Your Own - Pan Asian Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

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. read more

Delicious food at a decent price. Felt fresh and healthy. They use quality ingredients and treat their customers well

It was like an explosion of flavor in my mouth!!!! I love that you could create your own bowl like you were at one of those Chipotle restaurants. I ended up with pork and rice, toppings as well. Everything just went together. Fresh ingredients as well. Two different sauces as well. They give about 4 to choice from! I also ordered an iced tea Jasmine flavor. Which was perfectly sweetened. read more

Finally something good has taken over the old J&G Deli! I didn't care for the previous 2 establishments that was here before Sesami came here. Tiffany is an amazing intuitive employee who helped me decide what I wanted. Davis is the chef who has skills! These guys are going to do very good here with these creative bowls. It's like the perfect 1,2 combination, the dynamic duo basically. Yes the rest of the staff kick ass, and I was not going to leave them out. The bowl I went with was the All meat , no greens dish, but I added kimchi to it which brought this to a whole different level of winning. I'm a carnivore, and this just spoke to me, simply biblical I tried their Sesami Tots and their crispy chicken dumplings on their munchies . Just order it ! You're welcome, no need to thank me for that pro tip. So what I'm trying to say is get in here and just enjoy a meal or two, or three. Obviously you've seen I've been back several times. Review over, now to these tots I've neglected. read more

Wow!! Had been dying to try this place after hearing how fantastic it was from friends and even with all the hype I was not disappointed. I did a make your own bowl with 5 veggies (shiitake,kimchi, zucchini, edamame and broccoli), rice, chicken and 2 sauces (ginger sauce and sriracha). Finally garnished with seeds, nori, and shallots! It's similar to chipotle and cava where you pick your base, meat, toppings etc. that said portions are way bigger and quality of food better! 1000% recommend and will definitely be returning when in the area read more

Been waiting for a modern Asian street food place in H-town and finally Sesami is here. Korean bim bim bowls all fresh and made to order with your choice of protein, probiotic veggies and home made sauces in 10 minutes! My regular is the spicy grilled pork and second choice spicy grilled chicken. I also add the crunch puffed tofu for texture. Brown rice , white jasmine rice or spinach as your base - all good. You still need a cheese steak and fast food burger fix once in a while but if you want healthy fresh food check out Sesami. read more

Sesami - Made my own bowl and dumplings - Pan Asian Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

During this pandemic, I've definitely had more mood swings from my withdrawal of foodie cravings. It's been a battle of weighing financial costs yet supporting local businesses... "oh I really want this, but oh I need to be smart with my money spending, but oh the local businesses need our support, and oh I'm just really hungry and dont want to cook, treat yourself". 99% of the time, I'll have to confess my cravings wins, but hey it's for the local good, right? (Justifying my wants vs need is something I'm notorious for when it comes to food, or so I'm told) So no surprise, craving comes knocking at the door and I was feeling a hearty rice bowl with a healthy balance of protein and veggies. Sesami has been on my radar for quite some time, but a good 30 minute from where I live. Wasnt sure if it was gonna be worth it, but they fit the description of what I wanted perfectly, so why not? And it was their grand opening! Thank the Lord, I was hangry on the drive there but my belly gave a thousand thanks when I finally got my hand on a bowl! (Order ahead of time) Pros: - customization; create your own if there are particular food aversions or allergies, or cravings to tailor to your taste. - great pricing, and your bowl is stacked to the brim - vibrant colors from the veggies and sauce, super appetizing. - flavorful marinated meat and veggies, distinct in it their own representation individually yet harmonizes well when mixed together as a dish. Recommend any of the meat, tofu, mushrooms/shitake, broccoli, purple cabbage, cucumber. - get the sesami tots! So good. - light, hits the spot well, not heavy and excessive in oil or sodium taste - their homemade tea is super refeshing and not overly sweet at all - great friendly staff and service Cons: - sadly we couldn't dine in due to covid but the interior looked beautiful , we did see outdoor benches though - the nori "seaweed" topping is not what I expected like the sesame oil crunch one you get in Japanese restaurants, but it had a dried thick tougher crunch texture like I was eating the algae itself. I wasn't a big fan of that due to the fishier taste, but that's a personal preference - spinach as a topping was a big no no for me. It wasnt specially prepared or anything like I expected, just .... raw spinach on the side. Meh. - but worse of all, writing this makes me want to go back soon for another bowl! All in all, I cant wait to go back to try again. Just saw they posted about popcorn chicken too now (small fried pieces of juicy chicken basically) ! read more

The best restaurant in the vicinity of County Line Rd and a nice change of pace from the Philly Italian pizza places. Come to think of it, it's the only non-Italian place on County Line Rd. Definitely recommend. read more

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. read more

After a long awaited delay after their soft opening due to the pandemic, my wife and I drove out just to pick up lunch. And we were not disappointed - not that we expected anything less than delicious food. They've upped their game, making tweaks and improvements that seriously makes it one of the best places to get food in the area. read more

Sesami - Create your own bowl: purple rice, bugolgi, broccoli, edamame, braised black beans, carrots - Pan Asian Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

We love Sesami - it's quick, convenient, tasty and you get great value. The last few times we've been, the bowls have been packed full and lasted for at least 2 meals each, if not 3. I recommend ordering online from their preferred option (their website), as you'll accumulate points that are essentially a 10% discount over time. The bowls are ready in 10 minutes, so it's a really quick option when you realize you're in a pinch. There's a parking lot behind the building, so it's easy to park and go in and grab your grub. There's some outdoor seating too, so if it's nice out, you can grab a seat and enjoy your food al fresco. read more

Nice. It's good. Fresh healthy. Fast. Fresh. I liked it it was better than cats but not as good as west side story.

Ordered 2 mini sesami bowls today with bbq chicken and rice, 1 brown and 1 white. The brown rice bowl had zero chicken. I called and explained to the girl on the phone and she apologized and said they would make me a new one right now. I drive back and the owner or manager says he personally made it and proceeds to show me a video on a cracked iphone of him supposedly making the bowl and has the nerve to say he put extra chicken in it. Completely lied to my face. I will spread the word to never order from here again. Very deceitful and terrible way to conduct business over a 7 dollar bowl. Beware. read more

What happened to this place? It used to be so good. I have been a few times in the past and the last time was maybe a year ago. I drove 45 minutes just to come here. Yesterday I went and the portion size was probably 1/3 to 1/2 of what it used to be. The BROCCOLI WAS literally still FROZEN. I won't be coming back. read more

This place is a hidden gem in the Havertown area!!! It's located in a high visibility area but could also be disregarded since other businesses existed there previously. The bowls are amazing and the ingredients and value are top notch! The bowls are packed to the brim with delicious goodies. Recommend trying their tots!! read more

By far the most consistently good food in the main line area. Their night market chicken with the sriracha sauce is the meaning of life. Their chicken bowls are amazing with any sauce and any toppings. Banging for the price, you are missing out if you don't eat here. Something to note- always check if they give you enough sauce. Half the times i've been here they gave me less sauce than I had ordered. read more

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. read more

Was really excited after reading the reviews since I live close by, but maybe I came on an off day. I can understand the bean sprouts being cold, but the grilled zucchini was chilled to the point of tasting like it was just out of a fridge, and everything else was lukewarm at best. The chicken was pretty bland as well, even with extra sauce on it. Was thinking of giving the popcorn chicken a try, but after the bowl I don't plan on coming back for awhile. Hopefully it'll be better for everyone else! read more
