That being said it was a very pedestrian gastronomic experience and if you are the sort to be happy with "road house" eateries, you may well be completly satisfied. As for me I actually like to eat out and have a meal that has great flavour and carefully chosen ingredients. This is not that place. I'm sure 8 of the... More

The food was OK but for the price you should be allowed additional trips to the grill, not just 1. We had potstickers for an appetizer which had way to much dough on the outside, and little fillings in the middle. They were not very good. For the price you could spend your money better elsewhere. Unlikely I will visit... More

We had our Valentine's Day dinner at Open Sesame, it was my first, and last visit there. Our waitress was absolutely awful, I've never met someone so miserable working in a restaurant. It was like we were ruining her night by being there. I have a shellfish allergy, I warn servers the minute I get a menu. I had picked... More

Went on a date night here a couple nights ago. This was my first visit and most likely will be my last. The menu had items from all over Asia with a superb selection of Asian beers. There was also a do it yourself stir fry bar which had fresh options except that there was food all over the floor... More

If you are trying to watch what you eat and be healthy while dining out, this is the restaurant for you. Lets do the pros and cons. Overall, I would go back here. The stir-fry and healthy options outweighs the CONS. CONS: - There is always a wait....you have to wait for 30-60 minutes which is really frustrating at times... More

The food was good, but the Mongolian grill style where we dont see our food cooked had me and our party scrtaching our heads as our portion seemed very small from what we gave them (vegetables), and the biggest thing was the auto gratuity on our bills. Yes it was a party of 9, where the food and some bevies... More

I love how in the noodle dishes, you can add anything you want and any quantity you want, and then they cook it (on fire) in front of you. A great family experience. A must see.

First timer here, really enjoyed the food especially the Crab Stuffed Wontons very good. Would defiantly go back. Although the server we had was a little slow and not very attentive, but will not let that hold me back.

It's a fun concept: Choose a protein, then load up at a stir-fry salad bar and they'll combine your veggie choices with your sauce and your meat in a stir fry dish. I used to come here a lot but have found that lately the food hasn't been as good: The veggie bar is often out of what I like... More
