Just had the 11 course Kaiseki dinner in the tatami room. Fantastic.
It is more like 20 courses, as a few are doubled up and the zensei is half a dozen bites.
The place is genius.

re: sushiman
Can you please share more info on their Kaiseki options and their prices ? Are they open at lunch and serve also Kaisei tasting options ? I'm trying to find more info, but not much success yet.
And any other interesting Kaiseki options ? I have currently both Kyo Ya and Kujitsa in my list, one of course is vegetarian, but should i leave both to try or maybe save place for different options?-
re: oferl
The NYT says:
PRICE RANGE Small plates, $7 to $16; larger plates, $24 to $35. Kaiseki menus, $95, $120 or $150.HOURS Monday to Saturday, 5:30 to 11:30 p.m.; Sunday, 5:30 to 10:30 p.m.
The Menupages menu seems pretty accurate:

This menu is a bit old (Aug., 2011) but just for your reference.

I think it's easily as good as (if not better than) some of our current Mich-3s. It should at least have two as it's certainly on the level of Kajitsu and Soto (both deserving) - actually better IMHO. But Michelin, at least in NYC, has always been slow on the uptake with non-Western cuisines... (Or, really, non-French cuisines...)
But to the OP: you'll find no lack of love for Kyo Ya on the message boards here, if you just do a search. One of the more extraordinary establishments in a city with many, though not for everyone - it's a cuisine of subtle nuance, rather than, say, the bombast of a Morimoto on the other side of the Japanese spectrum.
Still a bit peeved at Wells, though. Not that Kyo Ya doesn't deserve it, but MAN is it gonna be impossible to get a reservation now...

re: foodwhisperer
I'm not sure it deserves 3, if we were using Michelin France standards. I've been there only twice, though. The kaiseki my girlfriend and I had was one of the best meals I've ever eaten, but when I had an a la carte meal, it was merely very good and not close to the extraordinariness of that kaiseki. On the other hand, Michelin's standards seem to be different (and a bit all over the map) in New York.

I was there just last week for the first day of their April menu. Really it was perhaps the best meal I had in a trip that included Corton, Marea, EMP, and a few other places. I am a complete newbie when it comes to kaiseiki. Although not every plate pleased my palate, they were all exciting and thought provoking. Service was also delightful and I regret now not asking more questions about the history and philosophy of each plate.
