    In a town full of dumpling shops, if you choose to put the word 'dumpling' in the name of your restaurant, it's a reasonable expectation that you make good dumplings. Sadly, this place misses the mark. Overpriced and flavorless food, and miniature containers of flavorless condiments. Lots of other places to get better quality food for much less money,

    A bit pricey in my opinion. I got the chicken curry with rice for $13.95 and it was kind of bland in my opinion. The chicken was very flimsy and rubbery. The curry was not flavorful and the seasoning is not as strong as I thought it would be. Also when I got the chicken curry bowl, the plastic lid on top was melting and crumpling apart from the heat. The plastic lid couldn't close the bowl at all because of the heat. Also some of the rice was dirty and burnt. It was reddish purple. The place was very spacious with lots of customers. There was no background music. The garbage cans were piled up with lots of garbage. The staff cleaned it up though to free up some space in the garbage can. They got lunch specials with certain rice platters with a can of coke or water for $12.99 everyday from 11am to 3:30pm. Too bad the first time I got here it was at 4pm so I really missed the mark.

    Really sweet counter person; delicious chicken/broccoli; especially delicious spicy chicken! (I'm not even a fan of sexism peppercorn, but I really loved this dish!)

    Interior

    I was looking for something to eat after catching a show at the Majestic and the line at Los Tacos was insane so I was happy to find that this spot was just around the corner and boy it did not disappoint! Casual but cute atmosphere (it looks new), fast and friendly service and food packed to go so carefully. I ordered soup and they separated the broth and wrapped it in clear wrap so it wouldn't spill and so my meat and noodles were fresh when I poured it in. I got the Taiwanese Beef Soup and it was absolutely delicious. Broth full of flavor and tender meat. And I ordered the mango smoothie and it tasted like real mango (not artificial) and was super smoothly blended! Portions are a good size too! Prices are also decent for the area! My soup and smoothie ran about $25.

    Shrimp Dumpling
    Jerry R.

    Steamed shrimp dumpling very good. soft fresh dough. Fried Pork dumpling average. Too light on the filling. Veg. Lo mein fresh and tasty. Not too oily. Need to add some other noodles to the menu. Prices a little high. Not Chinatown level but acceptable.

    I was in need of a quick bite between Broadway shows, and I was drawn in by the seating and dumplings at Emperor. The food was fine! I really liked the soup dumplings. The interior could have been cleaner--especially the bathroom, which did not lock.

    Its never a bad day for dumplings

    First off, this restaurant was so clean. Its hard to say that about most places in the city. We all just look the other way. The food was good too. It tasted fresh and not like it was under a warmer all day. I would check this place out for sure.

    Not busy when we went for lunch. Ordered on the tablet. Food was decent and price was reasonable. It's all disposable dishes. I would come back for quick cheap eats.

    Food is good here , no line when i ordered on (to good to go) so I got my package w/ the food already to the service is good, it's in da back of the bar , this place is the old McDonalds restaurant that used to be here ! You can still see the floor plans in the front

    Wow, nice new shop with a second floor table sitting area. This is good value meal in midtown west on gritty 8th Ave. but close enough to the theaters so see tourist hanging around. Don't let the name fool you, they got a lot more than dumplings, think of your favorite new York style Chinese fast food meal without the 5 gallon soy source buckets and 50 pound onions sacks stack up against the walls. had the salmon teriyaki with steam white rice, It was a generous portion of salmon and came with bok-choy as well as white rice. Very tasty teriyaki sauce, the salmon was well cooked and well seasoned. I also had the pan fried vegetable lo Mein Noodles which were super tasty. It was very clearly made with fresh vegetables and not frozen. It was also reasonably priced and would easily feed 2 people if you had something else with it. And yeah I ate dumplings too as part of my take out.

    Mapo tofu lunch special
    Keann H.

    Perfect everyday $12.99 lunch special from 11-3:30, and I managed to catch it in the last few minutes on the kiosk. I opted for the mapo tofu, it is not the spicy red kind but more of a soy based sauce and very tasty with huge soft tofu chunks and tender beef. Plenty of vegetables mixed in and they were cooked to the perfect texture. Not greasy at all and super fresh and filling. Food came out quickly as well and with a smile. Overall I loved this fast casual spot and would definitely return to try their other food as everything looked divine. Clean and modern dining area, tons of upstairs seating as well. A lovely, affordable, quiet spot for a bite to eat, with many locations around the city. Def try this spot!

Lunch with appetizer/main entree costs only $30. Additional fee for a dessert and drinks. They have nice selections for their fixed menu . I picked the shrimp summer roll Thai style and Vietnamese pork chop with noodle and Chinese broccoli. I have never enjoyed my meal this much. A flavorful and enticing combo meal. We skipped dessert as we are already filled up by what we got. Our server was so great. Fast and friendly. She even volunteered to take our photo. My friends enjoyed their steak as their entree and rib for appetizer. The place is pretty neat especially its second floor with lots of chandeliers all over the dining area. It's a bit dark on our section . Sears and tables are old but still showing the used to be elegance of the place. Location is at the popular restaurant row. Will come back.

We walked in without reservation but Patrina was able to accommodate us and personally escort us to the table to be sure we are seated comfortably. Our wait staff Miles was very friendly and kind, attention to details. We wanted to start of with some white wines but could not decide which one, he gave us some recommendation and introduced the wine sommelier- Joe who is very knowledgeable and professional. We really enjoyed the wines he recommended and it paired beautifully with the seafood we ordered. The oyster and uni cold starter was a wonderful kickoff, and they surprised us with a compliment starter which was really refreshing! It's thine sliced salmon sashimi dressed lightly with yuzu and sesame oil. It's delicious and it's free who doesn't like that! We had chicken wings as hot appetizers, it was done just right! The divers scallop was also super light and delicious but the sauce was on the heavy side. We finished with the black cod clay pot which was a great wrapped up. We were full and really had a great time enjoyed the food and wines at the 53-nyc. My friend's already asked me info about the restaurant and I highly recommend this place! Thank you Patrina, Miles and Joe!

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.
