Open Sesame,
For sure one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary now for many, many years! I love the Interior design, decorating and lighting, Very cool! Gives you an "Asiany feel and very original.
Anyways the important part: FOOD! yes great food :) I have mastered my "build your own" stir fry dish. I actually haven't ordered any other main dish because the garden market is soo good :) I love the variety of veggies: tofu, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, shitake mushrooms, banana chips, mandarin oranges.. and many more! And not to mention fresh garlic, ginger and huge range of sauces..how could anyone not like this? I always out-do my bowl size for veggies but I keep stacking :P why not? (Joel's broccoli tip below is pretty funny, and I understand his thinking :P)
Saying that the prices are reasonable and great especially if you stack high and take some home .
Some of my other favourites are:
* the 'Asian Orient iced tea' (18+ drink) not sweet but good ;)
"Sticky Gooey" chicken wings! almost like a wasabi taste too them.
* BANANA WONTON dessert!!! OMG! Banana wontons in vanilla ice cream with caramel and chocolate sauce and sprinkles of cinnamon,Perfect!
My boyfriend isn't a dessert person so last time I ate the WHOLE bowl after my stir fry! ya that was a great night :P hahaha
So ya all in all I will keep going to Open Sesame! I've never had an issue with service and YES make a reservation if your going on a weekend, it is busy!
Thanks again Open Sesame and see you soon :)
