Two Japanese places spring immediately to mind:
1. If he likes pork and is on a medium budget, Katsuhama on 47th between 5th and Madison.
2. If he's rich or has an unlimited expense account, Kurumazushi on the same block.

Menchanko-Tei for ramen if that's what he enjoys. Their Hakata Ramen is fantastic. Very satisfying meal, great value.
Pampano is another possibility, though higher priced. Great Mexican, ask to seat upstairs.

First, the general principle, often stated on this board and elsewhere:
New York City is almost uniquely solicitous of solo diners. A solo diner will probably feel comfortable eating ANYWHERE. So really, what you need are general recommendations.
So then we need the usual details about budget and food preferences.
