Asian Soul.A Hell’s Kitchen Original.Make a Reservation Our Approach At Sesamo, we’re not fusing cuisines — we’re rewriting the rules. Every dish is built from scratch and finished with fire, where classic Italian technique meets unapologetic Asian flavor. Think: creamy risotto with Thai basil and lemongrass. Hand-rolled pasta with Szechuan heat. Slow-braised meats kissed with XO sauce. View our Menu Experience SESAMOCozy. Sultry. Unpretentious. The lights are low, the wine is flowing, and the dishes don’t hold back. We’re the neighborhood spot with a point of view. You’re not here for spaghetti and soy sauce — you’re here for lardo-stuffed dumplings, tamarind bolognese, and the city’s best-kept secret at the bar. Reserve your Seat When to Come The answer is always: tonight. Sesamo fits wherever your night is headed. Here are a few of our favorite occasions: Pre-theater A short walk from Broadway, without the uptight clichés. Date night Low light. Great wine. Food that sparks conversation.
