Theres about 15 tables so definitely make reservations I didn't really thjnk they were so different and outstanding compared to other thai restaurants but they offer good prices and service and are probably the best in the area. The jeeb dumplings were my favorite dish here, but I also liked the larb chicken mango salad and stir fry chicken. The staff is stand out - super friendly, shout out to Jimmy!

I never expected that it's a Thai / Vietnamese restaurant until I saw the menu. It's nyc restaurant…read moreweek so we were delighted to know that they participate to the promotion . 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.

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

Shrimp was on the small side, and frozen. Service was prompt and polite, the ambience is lovely. They didn't have the appetizers like chicken satay nor spring rolls. Price point is on the pricier side. Wouldn't recommend as I've tried better elsewhere, didn't satisfy palette as food was pretty bland.

I've had too good to-go bags from this location before and it was always some kind of dish and rice…read morethat met the stated program value. When I arrived around 5:15pm on August 1, the employee at the counter first told me they have no too good to go bags after having me swipe, then questioned if I was in the right location despite seeing the 8th Ave store on my screen, and then took a few minutes waffling trying to figure out what to do. He then went to the kitchen and another guy told me they would make me a new bag. Low and behold what I got was a container of plain fried rice and a diet Coke. Google is free and I lookd up the prices. it's gross that the guy at the counter thought that would substitute for the higher value meal I paid for. The staff's inability to properly manage their inventory should never be a customer's problem. The store was fully open and serving, so they easily could have given me something that meets promised value. To make matters worse, the rice was dry and flavorless. I would rate this 0 out of five if I could.

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!

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.

Honestly, I should have known better because wagamama is known for their high quality food. I got the tantanmen and the beef was delicious! My only criticism was that the noodle to broth ratio was slightly off. Not enough broth and too much noodle. I asked for a side of kimchi and it paired so well with that ramen. I honestly think they should just put kimchi on the tantanmen. The Thai chili marg was sooo yummy and quite strong tbh. I loved addition of the coconut syrup. There are loads of vegetarian and chicken options, so it's great for anyone who has a vegetarian friend or a friend who only eats chicken. The restaurant decor was beautiful and spacious. The service was also great too.

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.

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.

My friends enjoyed their meals as well, including the lo mein, fried rice, lamb chops, filet mignon beef and broccoli. The drinks were great, but the ambience really made the night. The space has an old-school speakeasy feel, with a very dark and mysterious entrance and an intimate, moody vibe. Great food, great drinks, and a really fun atmosphere. Definitely a memorable dining experience!

We were seated near the bar with a perfect view of the beautiful "Sei Less" wall art. Our waiter came over right away, took our drink order, and recommended some of their most popular appetizers. We ordered the sashimi, lobster spoons, and steamed chicken and vegetable dumplings. Everything was delicious, although we both thought the vegetable dumplings might be even better fried rather than steamed. For our entrée, we shared the chicken and vegetable lo mein, which was also a hit, and the edamame was so flavorful! We finished with the vanilla crème brûlée, and it was absolutely phenomenal--I'm honestly craving it again right now! Between the warm welcome, attentive service, gorgeous atmosphere, and delicious food, we had such a great experience at Sei Less and would definitely return!
