| - You know what? I kind of love Open Sesame. For full on white-person Asian Fusion, it's pretty great. I highly recommend starting with the veggie spring rolls (they have the BEST plum sauce everrr) (but they are pretty expensive for just 2 spring rolls... i think they end up being like $3.50 per spring roll, which is not okay, but they're tasty), or the tereyaki riblings (I want a bottle of this sauce so I can pour it on all the things).
I'm a wild one, so I like to go stir-crazy and make my own stir fry. I think this is why I really like this place, but a lot of folks aren't crazy about it. You gotta know what goes well together. It's taken me a few years, but I think I've reached stir-fry mastery. Do not go to the stir-fry bar and just put whatever in your bowl and think that it's going to be amazing. Think about it. Be one with the stir fry bar. Do curry sauce and peanut sauce really go well together? Do you really want banana chips with your black bean sauce? It takes a bit of consideration and trial and error, but you'll be able to eventually find the best combo for you!
Also, they have a great drink menu! They have a lot of really tasty non-alcoholic options for teetotalers like myself. The pomegranate green iced tea is super yummy and not too sweet, and they have a lot of great smoothie things like the Aladdin's Passion and the Sabai (which is great to drink if you're eating something spicy.
I do have a couple of things to consider, however! One time I went here and the waitress spilled a full 2 drinks on me and didn't comp anything for me. Which was kind of a bummer. I only bring that up because it sucked. So, service could be better, and they don't have a great handle on their wait times (whenever I come, they tell me "Oh only 10 minutes" or "20 minutes" and then I end up sitting there for an hour or whatever, which kind of sucks). But I still come back! The food is really good and it's worth the wait and the not awesome service.
