This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is fresh, hot, and made quickly. They offer complimentary appetizers with every meal (except for appetizers on the menu), as well as a free t-shirt. For my starters, I ordered the popcorn chicken and vegetable rolls, and for my main course, I had the bulgogi. I also tried the spicy dishes. The servers were attentive and helpful.

What User dislikes about Sesame Korean Grill:
The restaurant seems like a popular spot for locals. While it was decent, I would probably look for a different place to dine at next time I am in town. The service was good and the prices were fair for the quality of the food. View all feedback.

We sacrificed sesame Korean grill for the high-time dinner of our daughter and it was fantastic. they delivered more than we expected in terms of service, quality of food presentation, generous portions, and above all the quality of food was excellent. we ordered more than enough, but we just had enough because our guests come back again and again. they made our dinner with much care and love and showed it. thanks, sesame!

Sesam koreanisch grill: I must pass the word, I recommend it,Which one-pot bowl do I recommend? Of course, the bark stew with a new type of noodles I have never seen served delicious though, wereuh sure, and bark meat that seems to cook with the bark bone to enrich taste and energy list,uh boy, as I like to visit this sweet. I asked for a wein, what happened next? they offered me a traditional Korean rice wine that I thought it would come into a glass or drink similarity, but to my brain surprise it was on a huge bowl! ah! great that I need to drive a container to go for later. very satisfied very energeticized afterwords especially when you have 3 youngs she suppe to uh young they have doable the energy!

The short ribs are delicious. The traditional bibimbap is okay, but the vegetables are cold and the meats are warm. It might be better to choose the hot stone bibimbap. My friends recommend the spicy pork and squid dishes. I will probably come back and try them next time.
