Tried this restaurant based on the good reviews and the Asian influenced Italian cuisine sounded interesting. We ordered from the Restaurant Week menu which offered enough choices. We started with the Rice Balls-Arancini, and the Fried Artichokes. We both agreed that the rice balls were the best we’ve ever eaten, and the artichokes were excellent as well. At our attentive server Justin’s suggestion, we ordered the Duck Ragu Rigatoni and Tempura Chicken Parmesan. Both were excellent! We topped it off with a very rich chocolate gelato and the Chocolate Katsu Bread, also excellent and unlike any other chocolate dessert I’ve had. We came straight from a matinee, so it was very quiet when we arrived but was bustling when we left. I will be returning to try some of the other interesting dishes on the menu.

I had a lovely lunch at Sesamo Restaurant. I enjoyed the delicious Fennel salad with walnuts, hazelnuts and sliced apples with grilled chicken. My waiter Jack was so welcome and friendly. The chef came out and was so nice too. The ambiance is quiet and warm. Thank you once again for a wonderful lunch.

I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Seasamo today in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen. I really loved their Fennell salad with grilled chicken with a new addition of sliced apple, hazelnuts and walnuts. It was so fresh and delicious! The chicken was very fresh and succulent. The server Jack greeted me the minute I walked in and was very accommodating. The chef was very nice and welcomed me back to their restaurant. Great dining experience.

We had a wonderful time at Sesamo. We were going to the theatre and they made sure we got there in time after a delicious and unusual dinner. It could not have been nicer.
