Just a quick review. Chi-Tung has been good forever, but in my opinion in the last few years the chicken and beef is usually chewy and has a lot of grizzle. We figured we'd give Sesame Inn a shot. We ordered a few egg rolls, beef and brocolli and orange chicken. The egg rolls are terrible compared to Chi-Tung so pass on them, but the main dishes were good. The beef and brocolli sauce had a bit of a brownish-red tinge to it, not sure what the ingredient was to do that since its usually in a brown sauce, but tasted good. Kids liked the orange chicken, and so did the adults. I'll try it again, but I'll pick up a few egg rolls from Chi-Tung on the way home. This was a take-out order, but the resturaunt looked neat and clean.

I regularly go to Sushi Thaime and saw from the website they had the same owners. The food was really good, I had Shrimp Chow Mein and my boyfried had Pad Thai. We both liked our food, the portions are also pretty big.I really didn't care for Sushi Thaime's Chinese dishes but love the sushi. I was really happy to see that Sesame Inn had good food.I will definitely go to Sesame Inn again.

Great food, great sushi! I used to think Chi Tung was the only place to go for Chinese in EP, but after going to Sesame Inn (and Sushi Thaime) I hardly ever eat Chi Tung. The food is great, the prices are great, and the owners are really nice people. This is a great place for a casual dinner with family or friends.

This place is OK, but it has nothing on Chi Tung. The staff is friendly and the inside is really clean. I've never seen a long wait, so I'm thinking it's a good place to go if you're in a hurry. The food isn't bad. It's just always a step below the competition in the area.

This is specifically written for the new years day buffet. The advertised price was 14.95 not bad but the choices were limited. There were a total of 5 dishes served no including the sushi buffet bar which need to be replenished. I was a little disappointed in the choices for buffet. drinks were not included and served in red solo cups were 1.99 per cup. Our brunch total 41.00. For that price, we could have eaten at a local sushi hibachi restaurant

This is the spot for sushi on the south side of Chicago.Chi Tong sucks, sorry but it does. It's loud, cramped and the sushi is dry and rubbery.Bruce, the owner of Sesame Inn, is always here and works so hard to have fresh fish and entrees.If you want amazing food in a nice quite atmosphere Sesame Inn is the spot.

Stopped out of the blue and was pleasantly surprised. Nice atmosphere great food definitely will be going back.

A really good sit down Chinese and Sushi spot on the south of downtown Chicago.Fresh delicious sushi unlike the other places in the area. Chinese food is flavorful and not greasy at all. Delicious!Sushi is good, normally pretty fresh. Chinese is clean and not overloaded with seasoning or flavor. It may be on the bland side for some, but again..its clean and not too greasy.Very good food, very good service, smile on their faces, good sushi, well made, and reasonably priced. What else do we want?

This place is phenomenal! Everything I've had there has always been better than good.

I used to enjoy going here. Sadly, the quality just isn't there these days. Swung by to grab some sushi (place was a ghost town) and the rice tasted sour and my rolls were far too sticky. They fell apart to boot. BoooooooI will not be returning. Such a shame with the relaxed atmosphere and being so close to home. I tried to discuss their Yelp reviews and the issues other customers expressed with regard to the horrid table service and reduced quality, but the only management that was available at the time spoke little English. The man he directed me to did nothing but make excuses. "We get busy...Sometimes, it's like that.", etc.Last time I was here, I had to instruct them on what goes into a VERY common fruity frou-frou cocktail...and I don't think my waiter smiled once the entire time.If you are on the near Southside, pass and go to "Chi Tung" in Evergreen Park or "Woow"(Formerly Big Tuna) in Orland. The food and service outshines Sesame Inn by far.

I'm disappointed that I had to delete my old review of this place and drop it from 5 star to a single star. This place had gone downhill. I mean wow. WOW. The older sushi chef used to make delicious and fresh sushi, well blended,clean, well put together. His son(?) Not so much. Not only was my Philly roll made incorrectly (no avocado!! And no cream cheese on some of the rolls!), when I asked the waiter about it, I was yelled at! He said it depends on where you go. Umm, dude, I usually go here. AND it's on the menu. Come on now. The waiter did not check on us at all, was very rude to us when he did interact with us, and gave us our total written on a scrap of paper rather than a receipt. The food itself was NOT fresh, not even the rice!! And oddly cold; I've never had frozen sushi before. I left the sushi to-go platter on the table by accident; when my boyfriend went back in to get it, he was met with glares, no "good bye" or "thank you." I'm sorry, are we inconveniencing you by eating at your restaurant??So bummed this place has gone down hill. This was me giving it a last chance, since my last few had been rather poor as well (their spicy rolls are just freaking strange, it tastes like mexican food!) I don't know if the old guy is in charge anymore, but it seems like who ever is now is simply going to run it into the ground.

oh man My son just say this place on the news we have never been to it now that he has seen it he wants to go ,he does not understand there closing, :( looked like a great place to go to bad there closing ...?

What a great place to relive the memories of my youth some 50 years ago, and watch the eyes of the little ones when the train brings the food. The food was great, the service good, and the atmosphere unmatchable. We came from a long ...?

Wow, I can't believe they are closing. That will be a sad day. I grew up with that place, when it was on Beverly. I worked there for a short time. Got to see the people there and the kids waiting for the train to come by with their food ...?

I have been going here for 4 years and it is owned by a husband and wife who are there all the time.......Great people.....The food is out of this world. A little place and they have a sushi bar too which my hubby loves .......I tell ...?

When I first heard about this place I thought it was a bed and breakfast. Then I learned it was a chinese restaurant. The food is awesome. The sweet and sour chicken, the wonton soup was delicious. It's a great place to go for a bite to eat. ...?

I love this place! Betty and Bruce know how to make you feel right at home. Their staff is very knowledgeable and explains any dish for you. Bruce makes the most awesome sushi. All the ingredients are so fresh and any dish can be made to ...?

I moved to the South Side 10 months ago and have been looking for a good pan asian restaurant for months. I'm moved down here from Downtown so I had high expectations to fulfill. I stumbled upon Sesame Inn and I can't write enough good ...?

The food is very good. Big size portions. The restaurant is very cozy, kind of a romantic feel to it. Wld recommend! The pineapple fried chicken is amazing! ...?
