SESAME LA
A bridge connecting history with modernity
Small, but mighty
A little playful, a lot flavorful ––– Sesame LA is part nostalgic, part new-age, intended to preserve and accurately represent the current Asian-American identity through food. A neighborhood superette occupying 250 sq ft in the heart of LA’s storied Chinatown, Sesame LA stocks an ever-rotating selection of provisions and artisanal pantry staples curated by owner Linda Sivrican predominately highlighting small makers and AAPI brands, while drawing inspiration from rich Pan-Asian culinary traditions.
