I just didn't like this place. The atmosphere is like sitting in a cafeteria for some reason, the chairs are very uncomfortable, and the food was just okay. Not some place I choose to go back to, especially since Ashland has so many other great restaurants.

The isn't your four star Asian Cuisine place like you would find in a big city, but its good food and great service. Portions are big and flavors are fresh and lively. Had the Beef noodle dish which the wait person said that was one of her favorites. Also had Duck Potstickers. It just reminded me of good home cooking... More

Sesame was quite tasty. The hot and sour soup was perfect for a cold, rainy night, and my wife raved about her salmon with a house-special mango dipping sauce. Casual ambience and proximity to Ashland's theaters made it a perfect dinner stop after a show.

This restaurant is owned by the same people who own "Pasta Piatti" so this gets you off to a good start. A fun place with outdoor dining across from lithia park. All the food was great but the Duck Pot Stickers were over the top. Great for Dinner or a light lunch or snack.

The food is quite decent here and the restaurant is bright and cheerful. They have outside tables both on the front sidewalk and in back along Ashland Creek which is lovely in warm weather. If you don't mind a bit of a wait, I highly recommend it. It loses a star because of the slow service, but the servers are... More

We had lunch 03272013 and it was simply great! We began with the lettuce wrap appetizer and then each had the Shanghai Noodle lunch special; both were excellent, amazing flavors. With lunch, to drink my wife had the mojito which was very refreshing in flavor and I had a Caldera Coconut Chocolate Porter that was fantastic. The service was friendly,... More

If you like Asian food, or creative and delicious Asian style fusion, and you don't mind a little wait (the restaurant is popular with locals, too) this is a great casual stop to linger with friends, maybe before or after the green show, or any show. Light, satisfying fare, like most Asian style foods, and healthy choices can be found... More

I cannot visit Ashland without at least one meal at Sesame. They never disappoint. One short visit we ate there twice because everything on the menu sounds so great. I highly recommend.
