If You Want Chinese Get to the Sesame Inn

A few months ago my dad brought home Chinese leftovers which I consumed like a vacuum once I dug into it. The dish was General Tso's Chicken. The source was the Sesame Inn in Mt. Lebanon.

Before I ate that, some of the best Chinese/Oriental cuisine I've had was from Me Lyng in Homestead. Up until last night it was a very even debate on which place cooked up the best Chinese food to its customers.

I paid a visit to the Sesame Inn at Station Square last night and was blown away, as I seem to be when it comes to food and beer. I started off my meal with a good beer, as I usually do, the choice being a Tsing Tao. That review is another story for another day.

A point I want to quickly make is that this place also served domestic beers aside from the few foreign ones. I just want to let you know that if you're the type that goes to a foreign restaurant and refuses to try the local drinks then you might not have a pulse. That never makes sense to me.

Anyways, there is a plethora of food on the menu. You can pick from any type of concoction such as orange, amazing, lemon etc. along with the type of meat/seafood you wish to enjoy it with.

That definitely isn't butter.

One interesting addition this place had on its menu that I've never seen before is the option of some Thai foods. Yet another reason to return to the Sesame Inn.

I went with the lemon chicken and was very pleased. When you get a chicken dish at your typical Chinese restaurant the chicken always looks the same. Not with this one.

My dish came out as fried chicken strips. You had to put the sauce on it yourself. The difference in taste was amazing. Make a note that not every meat dish is like this. The General Tso's I tried and my date's sesame chicken looked like you'd expect it.

Get to the Sesame Inn at either Station Square or Mt. Lebanon and try it out. Let me know what you think.
