Manhattan has exactly one place on the list so far: Kappo Sono, honored by The New York Times.

Rank 1. Kappo Sono
Kaiseki Japanese
Taking the elevator to the sixth floor of a commercial building off Union Square is a strange way to find a kaiseki omakase, which is probably the point. The chef spent years at the cult Japanese spot Kyo Ya before opening this one, and the room lands somewhere between chic Tokyo penthouse and relaxed dinner party, with the city glittering through the windows. The courses are elaborate and precise; the mood, somehow, is not.
