    Yum! This place is my favorite to grab dinner on my way to Penn Station. I love the Bento Box (the shrimp tacos with Japanese rice & beans is my fav!) and the Mandarin Salad with Spicy Tuna especially! Great portions, it really fills you up. Everything always tastes fresh and delicious. The employees are masked up and always very friendly.

    The food was delicious. So far I have tried: - The Braised Short-rib Rice Bowl - The Braised Short-rib + Spicy Tuna Taco Combo w/ Charted Corn Salad For the first meal I rate it a 10/10. The portion was plentiful and the food was flavorful. I enjoyed the ingredients and the food tasted fresh. The meat was succulent and soft, it was also well seasoned. For the taco combo meal, the Braised Short-rib Taco was delicious. Similar remarks to my previous review for the bowl. However, I didn't enjoy the spicy tuna. I didn't read the details for the taco well enough to realize it was a sushi/sashimi style tuna aka raw. If the Japanese flavors of the taco (spicy kewpie Mayo, etc) we're on cooked tuna, I would have enjoyed it. But I didn't like the aftertaste of raw tuna. I wasn't sure if it was because of the rawness or if it was because it wasn't fresh (I want to doubt that bc everything else was high quality). The service was quick and courteous. The stand/booth of the eatery is unassuming (it resembles the public bathroom only 20ft away) but it doesn't do too much unnecessarily. I would definitely recommend to others

    Bento Box Japanese Lentil Taco & Chipotle Shrimp Taco with Japanese Rice & Beans

    I've been really excited to try this taco place because I love the concept of blending two cuisines together in the form of a Japanese Taco. I just feel the execution could have been better on all fronts. The tacos that I tried with the gyoza shell ended up not tasting like a taco. The shell was too crispy, almost like eating one of the tortilla chips. I think I just prefer soft tacos. They were also a lot thinner than the ones being advertised . I got the bento box which comes with 2 tacos and one side. Each taco is originally $4.82 (weird number) and a side is around $3.12. I thought I'd be saving a couple dollars but the dude ended up charging me $13.50 which I didn't notice because he kept my receipt and I saw it later in my email. It's not a good deal if it's $13.50, means I paid $3.86 for a small scoop of rice and beans (yes I did the math and you're welcome). Also the service was incredibly slow. There was only two people working but not that many customers. Our food was sitting there for a long time as the guy waited for the last item and everything was cold by then. Quick run down of the food: Chips: stale, unseasoned, dude uses the same gloves he uses to do/touch everything to put them in the bag. Maybe get some tongs. Salsa: good spice, little watery Rice and Beans: just brown rice and unseasoned beans Chipotle Shrimp: really cold, shrimp broken up into tiny peices, nice avocado crema on top, tasted the most Japanese inspired Japanese Lentil: personal favorite, amazing lentils, tasted more Indian inspired Chicken Adobo: somewhat shredded chicken, very bland Curry Beef: tasted too similar to the chicken adobo but much better.

    Wow, every dish so good. Thought it would be less specialized bc they serve both Thai and…read moreVietnamese dishes but flavors were very clean and strong. - Drunken noodles: not too greasy, might be the best drunken noodles I've had. Medium spice was not spicy at all for us. - Duck curry: a bit small on the portions but the curry is magical. Was scraping this plate clean. - Bo luc lac: star dish for sure. Beef melts on your tongue and the marinade is slightly sweet and smoky. - Summer rolls: small portions but the flavor is there. Super refreshing and special bc they pickle the vegetables inside. - Crispy pork belly: reminds me of the crispy pork I had in Vietnam. Really well done, pairs well with the lettuce and herbs. That green sauce is so addicting. - Papaya salad: super refreshing, nice fish sauce. - Crab fried rice: reminds me of the din tai fung fried rice bc of how clean the flavor is. Great dim ambiance for a date or dinner out. Definitely coming back soon.

    So yum!!!! Top 3 thai spots for me…read more Food- Classic order of Pad Thai & Drunken Noodles. The pad thai noodles are a big thinner than i've had before but that didn't bother me, it has such great flavor too. I recommend ordering it spicy, it's the perfect heat if you're looking for that kick but don't add it if you can't handle spice. The drunken noodles are not spicy in my opinion but i can handle a bit of heat. Loved the flavor and the noodles had the right texture, could've done without the huge chunks of tomato but great otherwise. The summer rolls were good, hard to mess those up. We also got a free mango salad with the order and that was so fresh and delicious. We just popped in for pick up but the hostess was really nice and attentive as soon as we walked in. It looked to be a nice casual spot, could be good for dinner with friends or date night.

Our drinks and desserts were equally outstanding. Most importantly, the management team and service staff provided us with impressive and exemplary hospitality and service. For the three of us, our special night at 53 NYC was a wonderful dining experience that we will long appreciate, remember and cherish.

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.
