Now this food I can confidently rave about. Had it twice, so I know it was not a fluke. Small Menu…read more(positive in my opinion). Got the Pineapple curry and the duck. The curry had a slightly sweet flavor with a medium/mild level of spice. The duck was cooked perfectly. Portions were a tiny bit small but that was offset by quality. We walked in without a reservation and only waited about 30 minutes for a table. There's a 1 hour 15 minute dining limit, but the food came out so quickly that it never felt rushed. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. Great Ambiance

Stopped by on a Friday night for dinner with my best friend. The place itself is gorgeous, moody,…read moreand very architecturally pleasing. To start, we had the lychee martinis. It's not your typical lychee martini. It has Aperol and pineapple, which gives it a great flavor. My only note is that I wish it were a bit stronger. For appetizers we had the yellowtail, which is a must get. It was delicious. We also had the lobster spring rolls, another great dish, and the crispy wontons, which were good but not my favorite compared to everything else. For our entrée we got the beef tenderloin, another must get. It was amazing, super tender, and melts in your mouth. We had it with the fried rice, which was solid. For dessert we had the ice cream sandwich, which was different in the best way and extremely delicious. It wasn't too sweet and the cone "buns" were perfection. Overall, this place is gorgeous and the food matches. I would definitely return. The service was also great, the perfect balance of letting you do your own thing and truly enjoy your evening while still checking in. It is pricey. We each paid $184 including tip, but it's definitely worth it for a special occasion or to spoil yourself a bit.

Sometimes the best stops are the unplanned ones…read more After spending the afternoon at MoMA, my husband and I ducked into 53 to escape the heat and enjoy a cocktail before continuing our day. What started as a quick break turned into one of our favorite moments of the afternoon. We ended up chatting with the bartender for quite a while, swapping recommendations for speakeasies and cocktail bars around the city. It's always refreshing to meet someone who's genuinely passionate about their craft and happy to share local favorites. The cocktails were excellent, and the conversation made the experience even better. This wasn't actually our first visit--we celebrated my birthday here about three years ago, and I still remember how impressed we were with both the food and its presentation. It was nice to return and be reminded why we enjoyed it so much. We also learned that 53 has opened a speakeasy downstairs that's open on select weeknights and features live jazz. Needless to say, that's already on our list for our next trip to the city. Whether you're stopping in for a full dinner or just a well-made cocktail and a break from the Midtown bustle, 53 is well worth a visit.

The food and the service was soo good ! would definitely love to come again. However, I don't think…read moreI will be back until they fix the air-conditioning. It's really hard to enjoy your food and your company when you're sweating as if you just ran a 5K run. If you are the type of person that likes to eat outdoors and not have air-conditioning this is the place for the food is really really good and the service is excellent.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about Brooklyn Chop House, but honestly, I can't relate because…read moreevery time I've gone, I've had a good experience. I usually get the wonton soup with the jiaozi dumplings, and it's one of my favorite things on the menu. I haven't really seen that combination anywhere else, and I think it's really unique and really good. They also have a great happy hour. I'm not the biggest fan of the wings, but the shrimp and lobster roll is definitely worth trying. The service has always been good when I've visited, and the atmosphere is always a vibe. It's close to the Theater District, so it's a great spot to grab dinner before or after a show. There's usually a nice crowd, and you might even bump into an actor or celebrity. Overall, it's a place I keep coming back to because the food is consistently good, the service has been solid, and the overall experience is always enjoyable.

Ambiance (4/5): We were seated immediately at our reservation time. Feels like an elevated night…read moreclub on the inside with loud background music and dark lighting. A bit too loud to talk to each other. There is plenty of seating in the waiting area and seating by the bar to order something while you wait. Décor was stylish. Service (5/5): Carolina was the sweetest server on a weeknight evening. She ran down the menu in a helpful way by telling by setting expectations for dish sizes. She checked in regularly. Food (4/5): The food was good, but nothing stood out, especially for the price point. Chicken wontons (3/5): Nothing to right home about Potstickers (3/5): Nothing to right home about Vegetable lo mein (3/5): Nothing to right home about, sweet/salty sauce Philly spring rolls (4/5): Better than the others because it had some more flavor and was pretty unique Steak chimichurri (3/5): Sauce was good but they cooked a medium steak that it was tough to chew Filet mignon and broccoli (5/5): Wow this was hands down the best dish of the night. The pieces of meat were generous and SO SO tender! The sauce was cooked into the pieces of broccoli Bok choi (5/5): A nice exterior crunch with a forward garlic oil taste Fried rice (3/5): Nothing to right home about

Cozy little Korean restaurant in Hell's Kitchen with good authentic dishes. I ordered the Galbi…read moreBibimbap ($27) - there's actually an option to get it in a normal metal bowl or a hot stone bowl for the same price, so naturally I opted for the latter. It came out sizzling hot (literally) and was quite good. The galbi (short rib) was fairly tender although not quite perfect tenderness. There was also a nice variety of veggies to go along with the rice in the bowl. I appreciated the generous amount of gochujang sauce on the side so I could add as much as I wanted. The price was a tiny bit higher than I would've expected, but not bad. The restaurant itself is very small with only a handful of tables, so be aware if you're going at peak hours. The vibe is chill and the staff are friendly. The service speed is pretty quick too. Overall, 88 Pocha is a solid choice for a casual Korean meal in a cozy environment in Hell's Kitchen.

Solid pocha in Hells Kitchen. Only fits maybe 15 people inside but food and service are solid…read more Ambiance is very low-key. We ordered the tteokbokki, original and spicy wings, and the galbi. Everything tasted good. Nothing stood out to me as a must try, but I would say this is a good option for Hell's Kitchen and just as good as K Town pochas. I would come back because the Bossam was sold out and it's a best seller so I want to try it.

Pretty space. Went for a quick and casual lunch during restaurant week. We were seated immediately…read more I enjoyed the chicken wontons and for entree we both had the black pepper prawns. Ivo provided great service, he was attentive and checked in just enough. No complaints, I'd come back. The oxtail spring roll was different not in a bad way, but I liked the wonton better. Crème Brûlée was yummy and a first try for me.

Say more please! This place has great service from the door…read moreman to the bathroom attendant. Staff is superb. The ambiance meets you at the street before you step into the restaurant, photo op. Beautiful mural . Enter in and the decor is stunningl. You truly get a feel for the design. Im not sure if there is an elevator but the actual restaurant is up a set of stairs. The space is big, as we were seated we kept walking pass seating areas and I thought to myself , we are still going lol. White table cloth service , sexy dim lighting but lit well enough to read the menu. Grown and sexy vibes. Very good looking crowd of people; something for everyone very diverse. It was a ladies night for me. Plenty of eye candy lol the fellas were also dressed nicely. Today's r&b , afro beats , reggae, a little hip hop was played and at the perfect volume. You can comfortably hear one another. Great date night, girls night or solo spot . They have a very long bar area. Its currently restaurant week and its such a good deal a app, entree and desert all for $45. It was 2 of us and we each got a different item to sample things: Oxtail spring rolls crispy outter layer, savory , tender meat 10/10 the dipping sauce isn't needed Chicken wonton were a 6/10 it seemed frozen and reheated Beijing chicken crispy flavor not a ton of batter 8/10 Black prawns plump flavor bombs , crisp vegetables a little salty for me 8/10 Both entrees served with a hefty side of white rice. We shared one rice and took the other to go with some of the left over protein. All the food came out nice and hot. Deserts Dark chocolate mousse I wasn't a fan too bitter for me Vanilla creme brulee also wasn't a fan a little bit of a weird after taste. It was my bestie birthday they brought a sparkler and some of the staff sang happy birthday with one of the items. There is a photo lady she was nice and roped us lol into buying 2 photos they come framed and with access to a digital copy $54. Cocktail Elderflower mojito very refreshing but it better be at $22 lol We took an Uber but the door man informed us they do offer valet. Right next door is a parking facility,Street parking seemed manageable for the area. Auto 20% gratuity was added to the bill. Attended here on a Friday night. I recommend making reservations. This was my first visit but will not be my last.
