Sesame Inn - Newbury Park

After tasting the best beef noodle soup in Shanghai, I was on a mission to find a local Chinese restaurant that made authentic beef noodle soup.I ordered this dish from several restaurants in Thousand Oaks and Westlake, and was disappointed. Until I tried Sesame Inn.Not only did they provide very generous portions, but their beef noodle soup was the best in the Conejo Valley!What would make it better is if they added some sliced carrots.Ever since COVID, Sesame Inn became a strictly take out establishment no dining in. This is a better model for them, since the restaurant is small and they've always had a strong take out business. Vegetarian options: any dish can be made vegetarian with tofù.

Food is delicious. This is our favorite Chinese food in Newbury Park. Food is good and it’s mostly consistent. Big portions, great for feeding family or large groups.

Quality has gone down. Ordered Lo Mien which was all noodles two tiny pieces of cabbage and maybe three slices of gross beef. Honey chicken wasn’t much better, soggy and bland

Worst Chinese food of my life. Kung pao chicken was inedible. No indoor seating. Stay away.

The food was not too great, it was like the only method they knew was to soak the food in oil. Panda Express beats these guys by 100 light years.The service was okay, but at one point the cashier was a little rude, we asked for water cups and she brought them out with no water, and then when we told her we wanted water, she murmured I aSkEd iF wAter oR nO wAtEr .The atmosphere was underwhelming and it didn 't even seem like they wanted customers. Definitely do not recommend.I didn 't take photos because the food didn 't even look okay.
