There food is always abundant, delicious and very fresh! I've ordered take out many times and it's always ready fast and served with a smile! read more

They serve Korean inspired rice bowls, similar to bibimbaps. They also have some great appetizers like tater tots and Japanese fried chicken (karage). Pretty solid and something different. read more

Great lunch spot! The make your own bowl was tasty. Everything seems fresh and on the healthier side which is nice. Efficient and easy to order online for pickup. read more

There's an old Louis Armstrong quote I occasionally think about... "There are some people, if they don't know, you can't tell them." Sesami *knows*. From the seamless online ordering (which thankfully, is not through Seamless), to the friendly service, the delicious food (meat bowl, chicken dumplings, loaded tots), and beautifully minimalist space, this restaurant checks all marks and I look forward to eating there many a coming night. read more

I was hoping for the five star meal experience I have read about from other reviews here, but can only say it was decent but not great. I had a custom bowl and I specified pork bulgogi, brown rice, yellow corn, house pickles, purple cabbage, shiitake mushrooms and carrots with two sauces on the side, sesame carrot ginger and sriracha aioli, and a garnish of sesame seeds and fried shallots. My disappointment was first off in that there is no where on the menu or website that indicates that every ingredient would be cold. Bulgogi and rice should be warm in my opinion and I falsely expected that to be the way they would be served. The toppings were all fine, shiitake were actually nice, shredded carrot and purple cabbage had a decent flavor with a little rice vinegar apparent, and the corn was fresh. Really all the ingredients tasted fresh, but cold meat and rice didn't really please. I heated up the bowl and it was better. The bulgogi was also very lightly spiced, but I won't hold that against them, as that is to be expected from a suburban restaurant catering to the general public. The other rub was that I purposely paid extra for the sauces to be on the side, and they were incorporated into the bowl. Luckily the flavors went well together, but I did check off the boxes and pay the extra 0.50 for each sauce to ensure that they would be on the side. I also had the night market chicken which was popcorn chicken with five spice and sriracha aioli dipping sauce. This was at least hot, but the breading was a little inconsistent, and the chicken a little overcooked, and it was lacking much of the five spice flavor I was hoping for...it was decent though. Just certainly not great. Sorry I can't rave about the experience. I was hoping to do so. I love good korean and taiwanese food. read more

Sesami is a go to spot for lunch or dinner. Delicious custom bowls. Friendly staff. Great location. We come here all the time! read more

Sesami - Outdoor dining - Pan Asian Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

I visited Sesami on the first day of their official opening, and was SO pleased with my experience. I ordered the chicken flavor bomb bowl and was pleasantly surprised by how tender the chicken was, as I am usually very picky about dry meat. The entire bowl was well proportioned with meats, veggies, and carbs, and perfectly seasoned -- not too salty, not too bland. This is the kind of meal you could eat every day and not feel gross and bloated afterwards. The bowl was really good, but do NOT sleep on the tots! I found myself thinking about them and craving them the next day. The iced jasmine tea was also delicious -- perfectly sweetened, super refreshing. Will be returning again soon! read more

After waiting what seemed like years for the soft opening during Covid-19, Sesami did not disappoint at all. The full ordering and space experience was not there during the pandemic of course, and we ordered online beforehand but the space definitely looked like it was gonna be very fun and modern. They did a very good job with limiting the number of customers and providing hand sanitizer so that we could get out food safely, something I've found a lot of places only put up scribbled signs for but don't enforce. We got the C-Town Cunch bowl, Bulgogi BiBim bowl, and a custom bowl. Everything tasted super fresh and the meat and grill items weren't greasy like at other asian bowl places. The serving sizes were also filling- enough that I had to split my bowl into 1.5 meals. The BBQ Chicken was just amazing. Super tasty, super juicy. Their sauces are all very unique as well and I highly recommend the Signature green sauce! I regret not trying their Munchies appetizers or drinks but will definitely get them next time. They recently added new menu items and upgraded their system and equipment so I look forward to my next time here, hopefully without the restrictions of the pandemic. read more

I love the complexities of well thought out, intertwining flavors and this customizable bowl certainly hit all the right notes. Just being a fan of the choose your own bowl style, I have to commend that each ingredient additively contributed to a deliciously combined experience. Aside from the visual and health appeal of multicolored topping, sauces, vegetables and meats, the bowl offers a lasting taste of freshness and comfort with every bite. Generously filled to the brim, you can sure to be full after this wonderful meal. Grab a side of their refreshing, in house made tea while you're at it to further complement your bowl! Would love to come here more often and it's definitely worth the hike even as someone who is coming from the city. The staff is wonderful too so you can be sure to have a pleasant stop by whether for lunch or for dinner. :) read more

Sesami - Customized bowl - Pan Asian Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

The food looks great. It was ready on time. The problem was that I ordered two Pork bulbogi bowls NOT the "everything spiced" pork bulbogi bowls, and the food I received was so spicy one of the people I ordered it for couldn't eat it, and I didn't enjoy it. if I had realized that the mistake was the restaurant's, I would have called them to return them food, but I didn't realize it until a couple days later when I was invited to write a review and checked my order. Maybe there shouldn't be two dishes with similar contents because clearly the chef got mixed up himself. read more

Amazing hidden gem. I had the night market chicken bowl and it was one of the best rice bowls I've ever had. Crunchy and tender and savory and fresh all at the same time. The prices are very reasonable and there is outdoor seating. A definite must try ! read more

Everything I've tried was packed with flavor and delicious. The food was freshly made, and served in generous portions by the friendly and efficient staff. So glad a place like this is available in the area! Try the "Everything Spiced" bulgogi bowl with crispy tofu! read more

Beautiful restaurant, very modern and inviting. Quick service and friendly chefs. Delicious bowls, generously portioned, great balance of veggies and meat with carbs and bomming flavor! Will definitely come again! read more

Awesome new spot! I tried the agedashi bowl and the night market chicken - both were really good and very flavorful. Loved the sriracha aioli with the chicken. And great servings size for the prize. I will definitely be back to try out other bowls. The menu is small but I'll be back to try other bowls. They are currently doing contactless pickup during coronavirus and their website is very easy to place orders on. read more

Very pleasant woman at the register. Food was ready faster than expected. I had the chicken flavor bomb bowl. It was plenty of food. The flavor was delicious and complex. Very good. I'll be back. read more

So disappointing considering all the great reviews. The chicken was cold. Way over fried and dry and not very tasty. Dumplings were meh. The tea was good. Service people are nice. Floor is like walking on sticky tape. Oh well. U can't get great food all the time!!! read more

Really tasty food and very nice staff. So glad I was introduced to this gem, in the middle of a neighborhood. I don't live close by but I will definitely go back. Highly recommend the Agedashi Bowl. The flavors are amazing. Bonus: there is parking in the back. read more

I can't say enough great things about this place. It's hands down my favorite local spot. The food is always so fresh, appealing to the eye, and let's not forget delicious! They have excellent customer service too. My delivery driver forgot my tea so these guys came back and delivered it! I am a fan for life! Don't forget my suggestion to add shrimp to the menu!! read more

I tried this restaurant for the first time this evening, and absolutely loved it! I had the tots as an appetizer and the meat-only bowl for a meal. Both were generous portions for the price, and bursting with flavor. I look forward to coming back again to Sesami sometime in the near future! read more

It was just OK. I like the concept of the restaurant, but the food was poorly delivered. It also seemed very sauce heavy. The food was all rather cold as well. read more

Tasty bowls with plenty of options for ingredients. Yummy tater tots and dumplings. Fast service and very polite

It was love at first bite! I ordered from Sesami for the first time after driving by so many times! The food is OUTSTANDING! I got a vegetarian "make-your-own-bowl" and everything was fresh and delicious. House made kimchi (the best I've ever had), pickles and sauces. Even the iced tea is brewed in-house. This is my favorite new place! So happy they are close by, Sesami is a great addition to the neighborhood! THANK YOU for opening up here. PLUS, there is plenty of parking in the back which is amazing!! I'll be back tomorrow. One of the cooks there said "Don't blame me when you get addicted!" Lol! He is RIGHT! I AM addicted! Kudos and Thank you! read more

My husband and I LOVE Sesami. They are one of our go-to takeout/delivery spots and never fail to please. Consistently good every time. Tonight, there was a Door Dash debacle wherein we ordered delivery and apparently everyone except Door Dash got the memo. Forty minutes past when our food was supposed to have arrived, we called and Sesami filled us in. Long story short, Door Dash never sorted themselves out, but Sesami re-fired our dinner and got it to us (and threw in some [delicious] complimentary teas). Thanks, folks - great customer service. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

New family favorite! We ordered the Bulgogi Bibim Bowl, Chicken Flavor Bomb Bowl, Crispy Chicken Dumplings and Sesami tots! Yum...Insanely delicious and great portions for the price! Easy to navigate website. Our order (family of 4) was ready on time with great service and care. Highly recommend! read more

Went here with the whole family for the first time last week. Really enjoyed the food and it was nice to have a bigger outdoor area to sit in where you weren't right next to all the other tables. Food was very fresh and delicious and portions very generous! Can't wait to come back to eat here again soon!! read more

Delicious food, fresh and customizable. Super friendly service and fast preparation. The custom made chicken bowl with carrots, grilled zucchini, rice, kimchi and corn was amazing. read more

Delicious. Got the bulgogi (pork) bimbim signature bowl. The flavors were awesome. I added mushrooms. The combo of the rice, mushrooms, bulgogi and sesame ginger sauce is perfect. They forgot to ask put corn in my bowl but didn't matter, was great. Also got the night market chicken. Very fresh, perfect size bites, right out of the cooker. I generally don't like dark meat chicken, but in this case it was very tasty (seemed to be both dark and white meat). Huge portion. Def get extra sauce on side. read more

Not sure what's going on? The food was consistently good here until the last two times I ordered. They used to have a nice mix of veggies, protein and rice. The last two times I ordered the bowls were mostly rice. A new option they offered was stir fry the bowl. I tried it and was disappointed. Hot rice does not equal stir fried. It was soggy and the seasoning became muddled definitely not the way to go. Hopefully they can get back to what made them good I'll give them another try next month. read more

Good food, service is good, no real ambiance as it is a takeout only place. Lots of optionsz

Great neighborhood business, very tasty bowls and excellent service. I'll be there often this summer.

So I've never been here until today but I was picking my car up from the shop and wanted something quick. Where to start. The everything spicy bowl was beautiful. It's a sizeable amount of food and I did not stop slapping my chopsticks into that bowl until there was nothing left but oils and juices soaked into the bowl. It was fast, I ordered and paid on a tablet, and the front guy was friendly. The pickle was light, not too salty/briny. Kimchi was cut into manageable pieces and bringing the usual funk. The bulgogi pork was tender, sticky, and had those crispy bits you dream about. Most importantly the brown rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned properly. If you're ever in the area I suggest you stop whatever you're doing and support these folks. Five freakin big ol stars. read more

Food was good, service was find, people nice but the atmosphere was sterile. Decor is cold and uninviting.

Great food! I got the Bulgogi BiBimBowl and it was deletable! Perfect amount of food and ratio of rice:meat:veggies. Would definitely order again and would recommend to others in a heartbeat. Speaking of hearts, our drinks had little stoppers in them that were heart-shaped! So cute. Great job sesami read more

Sesami - Pan Asian Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

I have nothing bad to say about this place. Ordered online to pick up and the bowls were absolutely delicious. Please patronize this business, I would hate to see it close bc of Covid. (I get so nervous every time I drive by places that I like haha.) 5 stars. Every time. read more

Excellent delivery offered on their website. Skip GrubHub and go straight to their site. Food was really good. I didn't think the tater tots arrived crunchy, but all our bowls were good and they seem healthy. The containers are compostable which is a plus. Everyone liked the chicken dumplings. They don't staple shut their delivery bags which is a little uncomfortable when you are having food delivered during Covid. Nice change up from pizza and Indian food though so you can't go wrong with this place. read more

This unassuming place is a treasure. The guys behind the counter are friendly and courteous. The food is spectacular and I highly recommend the specials. Sesami tots and/or Crispy Chicken Dumplings are a great way to start. Vegetarian or Meat eaters will delight or create your own bowl. I got their special of the day, the brisket bowl. It was the caliber of food that one might only expect to get in NYC! Thank goodness for Sesami! The only thing that I caution you on is to make sure you check the items in your take out bag before you leave. Sometimes they will forget to put appetizers in and I wouldn't want you to miss out on the deliciousness!! Also pre -order ahead of time and there is no indoor seating at this time. read more

Our office ordered from here quite frequently for lunch and we have tried many different bowls from their menu, I'd say everything I tried was good, but if would be even better if they can go light on sauce or sauce on the side. Their tea drinks are good. read more

Sesami is a postcard from the casual restaurant of your dreams. It promotes individualism, allowing you to build your own rice or salad bowl from skillfully prepared and farm fresh ingredients. It practices originality with creative, bright and satisfying sauces that make the bowls sing. The centerpiece of the Bulgogi BiBim Bowl was moist and tender morsels of pork bulgogi that could have come from your favorite Korean BBQ grill, but nestled in al dente brown rice and your choice of crisp fresh vegetables. A simultaneous tip of the hat to authenticity and millennial sensibilities. But what I really crave is the night market popcorn chicken, popping with 5 spice powder that brought me back to the night market in Tamshui. But Sesami's rendition was set in a canvas of fresh spinach providing a peppery contrast to the fragrant chicken. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect - restaurants like these usually seem overpriced and generally pretty blah. These reviews are serious - super fresh, super delicious, and I'm STOKED to return. The chicken was actually high quality chicken and there's tons of customizable options. read more

The food is excellent value for the price. My wife and I ordered 2 bowls and neither of us could eat all of it. We've tried pork, chicken and tofu enjoying all of them. read more
