Reviews for 53 in New York, NY
The food we ate at 53 was excellent. We started with delicious cocktails. We then chose four dishes which was plenty for two... people. After dessert, we were very full. The egg noodles dish was the best noodles I have ever tasted. The sate sauce used inthe Beef sate was incredible. I could have happily eaten a bowl of the sauce on its own. The duck clay pot was amazing. Thecrisp rice at the bottom of the pot was mixed with the softer rice and pieces of duck and duck skin. The duck\'s fat soakedthrough the rice, making it taste divine. For dessert, we had the Mango pudding, which again was exceptional. Please open arestaurant in London! Oh, and the dining room is picturesque. Read more
Good food (5 stars), horrible service (0 star). As we were discussing appetizers and drinks, the manager came to us and told us... they needed the table back by 8pm but it was 5:30pm. No apologies at all. Extremely awkward and unprofessional. I would not feelcomfortable taking anyone important to this place just to embarrass myself. Also, no toilet paper in the female restroom theentire night.\n\nFood wise, everything was good, no complaints. Read more
I want to give 0 star if I can. The worst fine dining restaurant I ever had. The cocktail was sour. The oyster was fishy. The... eel appetizer was soaked in disgusting oil. I paid 40+ dollars for two shrimp that smells so bad in the curry sauce. EverythingI tasted was bad. I will never recommend this restaurant to others. Read more
All the dishes were either too salty, too acidic, or too sweet. The food was either too heavy or basically... flavorless.\n\nService from our waiter was very strange, kept coming over and interrupting our conversation (by saying that hewas doing so), taking food away before we were finished, etc. During our dinner they also managed to drop two objects on theground, one of which was a glass that quite literally broke all over the ground.\n\nEven though the experience was not the bestI hope they can improve in the future, because a lot of people are going and everyone wants to have a good experience :) Read more
This restaurant was amazing! I brought my boyfriend here for a little birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. From the... atmosphere to the hospitality to the delicious food everything was 10/10. We will definitely be coming back to try other dishes.If you go here please make sure you try the Black Cod clay pot dish! The cherry on top was the complimentary scoop of coconutice cream they surprised us with for his birthday. A memorable dinner and experience, we’ll be back soon :) Thank you to ourknowledgeable and extremely courteous waiter, Greg. The entire staff was wonderful as well! Read more
My wife and I travel to Dubai frequently, and we often dine at Chef Akmal’s, who now has stars, restaurants. When we heard... about 53 opening, we made the effort to fly in from Miami to take in this experience. Enough of the background…This food isamazing. The best Asian Cuisine in Manhattan, and it is not even close. The staff and management really know what they aredoing. Our server, “Joe”, was truly on point. Lobster Spring Rolls, Chicken Wings, Scallops, and Oueww… that lobsterfried rice. We had an experience. Needless to say, I will be back next month for my NYC foodie fix. Read more

It was an outstanding Asian Fusion journey at 2022 Thanksgiving Day with my girl. She took a lot of time to get these pics... trimmed. You’re welcome! The shrimp dumplings are the best out of those. Secondary would be the lamb! Very saucy l, kindaspicy, and savory. Plus, ambiguity and intimate ambiance are good for dating or small talk. Read more
