1. Kisa

    Korean

    At this deliberately unglamorous Korean diner styled after a Seoul cabby's canteen, the set meals arrive in a precarious stack of small bowls and plates, each main course bluntly satisfying in its restraint. The menu offers little choice, but the giddy abundance—and occasional mediocrity—of the banchan feels like part of the point.
