  • Still on a search to find good, authentic Chinese food in No. Scottsdale, we decided to give Sesame Inn a try. Bottom line is ... we are still searching. First clue that it wasn't going to go well ... no chopsticks on the table and we were never offered any. Second clue ... after ordering, the waitress said, "That comes with white rice." To say that to a Chinese couple is like a slap in the face. Of course it should come with white rice! The food is edible, but I wouldn't rave about it . I could make the same dishes at home for a fraction of the price. The previous review by Flippitti is right on. It's certainly not worth the prices. In fact, the size of the portions you are served make it a complete ripoff. We had the chicken with string beans and the salt and pepper shrimp. I am 5'1" and 105 lbs. and could have eaten both orders by myself. Needless to say, we left hungry and $36 poorer. The salt and pepper shrimp is traditionally made with the shell still on and at some Chinese restaurants with the head on. Their version (we assume to cater to American tastes) is made without the shells. In order to accomplish this, they coat the shrimp with a dry, cardboard tasting flour mixture. Then to disguise the fact that for $17, they are only serving you 8 small/medium size (not even large) shrimp, they pile them on top of a bed chopped green onions and cilantro. By the way, the order of white rice that they so generously gave us with the entrees, was larger than the 2 entrees combined! What was more amazing is that people kept coming in. We couldn't understand it . Don't people get that they are paying out the nose for mediocre, pseudo Asian/Chinese food? Would rather make the drive to Nee House in PV or even Chandler/Phoenix to get our Chinese food fix.
