53 NYC Honors Mother’s Day with a Curated Dim Sum Experience
This Mother’s Day, 53 NYC invites guests to a refined culinary celebration in the heart of Midtown—where contemporary Asian cuisine meets the elegance of high design. On Sunday, May 11th, the restaurant will offer a special four-course dim sum brunch that honors the women who inspire us most.
An Artful Setting on 53rd Street
Located at 53 West 53rd Street, adjacent to MoMA, 53 NYC is as much a cultural destination as it is a dining one. With interiors influenced by the surrounding art institutions and a menu curated by Chef Akmal Anuar, the restaurant delivers a cosmopolitan experience in a strikingly modern space.
A Menu Designed for Sharing and Celebration
The Mother’s Day menu, served between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, offers a curated journey through Asian-inspired flavors. Guests begin with cold starters such as Salmon Carpaccio with shio kombu or a vibrant Seaweed Salad with Granny Smith apple and walnut. Hot dishes include Duck Pie Tee with chipotle and cilantro, or Royal Shumai topped with black Kaluga caviar—each prepared with precision and flair.
Main courses highlight wok-fired specialties like Kung Pao Chicken with cashews or Beef Tenderloin finished in a fragrant peppercorn glaze. Clay pot selections, such as the Cod with jalapeño miso or the signature Lobster Rice in Lotus Leaf (available for an additional $40 per table), reflect the kitchen’s commitment to bold yet balanced flavors.
To finish, desserts like Mango Pudding with Greek yogurt ice cream or Nama Chocolate with Tahitian vanilla elevate the occasion to something unforgettable.
Exclusive Additions for the Elevated Palate
Guests can further personalize their experience with à la carte enhancements, including Oyster & Uni with yuzu ponzu gelée, Eel Club with foie gras and cherry, or the indulgent Xiao Long Bao infused with truffle.

The prix-fixe menu is priced at $135 per person, excluding optional additions. Seating is limited, and early reservations are encouraged to secure a table for this exclusive Mother’s Day offering.
