This is a very nice Asian fusion Chinese restaurant with a great atmosphere, but you need to make reservations in advance. Overall, the flavors are very solid. I highly recommend their Foie Gras Custard (Foie Gras Steamed Egg) — it was incredibly rich, and the addition of mushrooms enhanced the overall umami. However, the Foie Gras on Toast set had a slight flaw: the toast was a bit over-charred, which slightly overpowered the dish, and the Eel component was hard to taste. The Lamb Ribs were decent but nothing extraordinary. The strong barbecue glaze slightly masked the natural flavor of the meat, though the preparation was quite creative. The Kung Pao Quail was tasty and innovative — so tender that you wouldn’t even guess it was quail. The Black Cod Clay Pot with Rice was rather aver

I went here with my friends, and everything this restaurant served deserves a standing ovation! The food is amazingly good—every dish comes with beautiful presentation, and you can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. I loved everything; even their simple cucumber salad was incredible—spicy, fresh, nutty, and perfectly balanced. I absolutely love this place! The ambience is great, and our server was very friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for a restaurant that serves food made with love, you must visit 53. Shout-out to Chef Mark, Chef Adam, and the entire team for the amazing food. Highly recommended! ❤️

The food and environment were very nice tho overpriced imo. It’s not a quiet place so expect to talk loudly. Unfortunately the main negative was the spotty service. A restaurant like this needs to do better than with accommodating guest food restrictions by making the experience feel seamless. My partner is Celiac, so gluten is an absolute no. When booking, I made sure to add that to the dietary restrictions section. The lady at the front acknowledge that when we walked in. I would expect that at a restaurant like this, our waiter would also know by the time we get to the table, but he didn’t and we told him ourselves, no problem. He was kind enough to outline on the menu which items he thought were gluten-free, so we only ordered from his list. When the clay pot arrived with table side fi

Interesting restaurant with good food and friendly staff. I really liked the ground-floor interior — simple yet elegant. The main dining area, however, is two levels down, so it feels like a basement with no windows or fresh air. While the design is tasteful, you do get the sense of sitting in a box. The staff were genuinely helpful and warm, not robotic, which made the experience pleasant. The food was tasty and well-prepared. Overall, it’s a nice place for a business dinner or a quiet evening meal.

Excellent experience at this restaurant. We went for dinner, feom the beggining we loved the ambience and look of the place. We ordered cucumber salad as a starter and followed ordering 4 more dishes, our server explained very well the menu options and her suggestions were perfect in taste and quantity. Everything was delicious, we ended our dinner with an exquisite dark chocolate desert accompanied by a famous monk coctail. Will return on future trips to NY to keep trying other menu options.
