Asian Dining Beneath MoMA Spans Three Stories
Order kung pao quail at 53 for a celebratory Midtown dinner inside a striking architectural space.
🥢 Dinner Beneath the Museum
An architectural detour sits right beneath MoMA. At 53, contemporary Asian cooking fills a striking space spread across three stories on West 53rd Street. The kitchen moves from an eel club sando to cod clay pot and kung pao quail, keeping the menu as much a talking point as the setting. This is a Midtown restaurant for a celebratory dinner, with inventive plates at the center of the evening.
Sunday brings dim sum brunch, with a Premium Brunch Set at 59 dollars and a Dim Sum Set at 78 dollars. The Premium Lunch Set also costs 59 dollars per person, giving midday diners a separate set menu to consider.
The restaurant serves dinner daily from 5 PM to 10 PM, lunch Monday through Friday from a quarter to noon to half past two PM, and Sunday brunch from noon to 3 PM. Book ahead for a table.
