“ The bar tasting at Atomix is one of the best dining experiences in the city. The bar menu consists of 10 courses with a beverage paring included. The staff at the bar are friendly and conversational leading to a more casual tasting menu experience. The Chef's table downstairs is a different menu and more haute. On our visit we had; Steamed Barley Bread, Whipped Soy, Omija - a single bread bite, very good. Aehobak, Dubujang, Eoran - this was a Korean Zucchini dish and our favorite of the small bites. Gamtae Bugak, Yukhwe, Kimichi - Beef tartare wrapped in seaweed. Another excellent small bite. Korean Fluke, Yuja, White Kimchi, Perilla - well seasoned fish served like sashimi, very good. Monkfish Liver, Pomegranate, Pistachio - they call monkfish liver the foie gras of the sea, this was one of the standout dishes of the meal. Egg Jjim, Morel, Guanciale, Truffle Sauce - another standout dish, boiled egg dish with truffle = delicious. Potato Jeon, Sea Urchin, Sunchoke - this is becoming a running theme, another standout dish. A Korean style pancake topped with sea urchin. Silver Pomfret, Maesaengi, Mu, Spinach - the main fish dish of the meal. Not our favorite, but still good. Iberico Maekjeok, Golden Queen Rice, Oyster Mushrooms - Incredible. The main meat dish of the meal was our favorite. All the flavors came together perfectly and the pork was cooked to perfection. Sweet Rice Ice Cream, Mugwort Tea Cake, Red Bean, Millet - an excellent desert to finish an excellent meal. Had a sweet and savory taste as a whole. We had both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage pairings. The standouts of the non-alcoholic were; the corn cold brew, the oolong tea with black pepper and egg white, and the rice milk with Korean pear and pandan. Atomix is well deserving of all its accolades and a tasting menu to experience. ”

“ This was the BEST meal and dining experience I have ever had in my life. The attention to detail, thoughtfulness and overall execution was beyond flawless. It's a crime that Jungsik has 3 stars and this place does not.. Somehow, some way, every single dish topped the previous dish. Not a single miss. Unbelievable service. IMO Atomix is the BEST restaurant in NYC and its not close. ”

“ Two star Korean Michelin star restaurant @ NYC My sister and I had a chef's counter bar tasting experience. We were lucky to find a street parking space near the restaurant. When we walked in, there was a six seats at the counter bar and our server was very kind to get our coats and sitted us. We enjoyed every course of the meal with the cocktail pairing. The experience was very interactive with other parties, chef and other staffs! Chef Won is very talented chef who used to work under chef Ahn Sung Jae in Korea! Started off with Steamed Barley bread with whipped soy and omija jam which was very moist. I loved the minced tofu with sliced zucchini on top of crunchy fried wrapper paired with corn tea. I loved wagu tenderloin yukhwe wrapped around radish & kimchi and in a fried seaweed was very delicious and creative. I liked the crunchy texture and citrus flavor of Jeju fluke wrapped in a radish kimchi and a Korean pear with yuja sauce. I didn't like monk fish liver with pistachio crumbles, it was too fishy for me, strawberry nonalcoholic drink was less sweet which I liked. The steamed egg with shaved truffle, cracked peppers, mushroom (morels) was very smooth and tasty. Fried potatoes with uni was very crunchy and delicious. The sea bream with maesaengi was ok, but liked the paring of white lotus tea. The last dish, Iberian beef was very tender and perfectly cooked with spicy rice with oyster mushroom, a great way to finish off the main course. The sweet rice ice cream was served with sujeonggwa which was too sweet for me. The service was impeccable and the staff was the best! We would love to come back when a new Spring menu comes out. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! ”

“ Wonderful dinner experience from start to finish! So happy and grateful to have scored a reservation here courtesy of my wonderful husband who was so quick to grab the seats. We had the full dinner experience in the basement downstairs. The experience lasted from about 5:30pm to 8pm. There has clearly been an enormous amount of thought put into the guests' experience from the moment you step in to your last bite. Atomix is the first michelin restaurant I've been to that actually leans into educating guests by combining information with hands-on experience. The pre-dinner introduction to the kitchen's ingredients and the distilled jang tasting made such a big difference in my enrichment throughout the night. I was actually able to pick out the dishes that used the jang that I tasted during the pre-dinner intro, which I thought was super cool! Another thing I liked about my experience at Atomix was that they print out a collection of cue cards about each dish, which contains a short story for the dish and all the ingredients included that the guest can read at their own leisure as they wait for the course to be brought out. I find this very empowering because often times when servers verbally communicate the dish, I often end up forgetting or mishearing what they say and can't refer back to it when I'm actually eating. I found myself reading and re-reading each cue card multiple times throughout the night and had a lot of fun trying to find hints of each ingredient listed. Not to mention the gorgeous artwork that is featured on the backside of each card. So useful, efficient, and tasteful! Every dish was incredible - if I had to pick one to highlight I'd say that the dessert dish with Persimmon and Black Truffle was my favorite due to its uniqueness. This is my first time seeing black truffle used in a sweet dessert dish and it was executed beautifully. Thank you Atomix team for doing what you do! ”

“ My favorite restaurant in all of NYC currently. I recommend the Bar since it includes a drink pairing and is really great value. I always leave feeling fully satisfied, while the Chef's Counter makes me want to keel over and explode. Menu rotates seasonally but they keep some of the favorites over multiple menus (which is fantastic). They've had the egg chawanmushi for a while now, and that one is definitely one of my favorites. The arctic char was great while it lasted, but I actually love the fish dish that replaced it even more (the accompanying broth has a nice little kick to it). The monkfish liver bite in September 2024 is one I'd bring back--one of my favorite amuse bouche from here ever! I'm also a huge fan of the current potato pancake on the menu and the main course. ”

“ I thought I booked the main dining room but i actually booked the more limited seatings for the experimental experience on the second floor. So this review is only for the second floor experience. The entrance took me a bit to find, but the decor inside was so interesting that it reminded me of just a home kitchen. There were only 6 seats in total by the counter. And the whole experience was very intimate. I like how they didn't charge extra for the beverage pairing. And they offer alcohol and nonalcoholic options. We both opted in for nonalcoholic for this time, and def got a chance to taste many interesting tea fusion drinks. A few of them were quite foreign whereas most of them were refreshing and juicy. Food in general was creative and fresh. As most of these courses were experimental I can't say I enjoyed every one of them but none of them was below par. I do remember I was very impressed by the course with a baked salmon - yes salmon - that was perfectly made with cooked outside but medium raw inside and it was absolutely tender, non fishy, and I ate it as if I was eating a soufflé. I also enjoyed all the other fish courses - very interesting mix of juices, French fusion, but leaving few Asian and Korean ingredients as well. One course I personally didn't enjoy as much was the last hot course - the wagyu burger steak. The fact that burger steak could naturally be more cooked, to me, cut the score for wagyu which is a type of things you don't want to be super cooked. The use of spicy chives also imposed a very strong flavor that took away some of the mushroom flavors- don't get me wrong I like chives, but in this case it's a chive driven flavored dish instead of other stuffs cooked along with it. Service was top notch. Everyone was extremely nice and accommodating. Overall great experience. Would come back and check again on the lower floor one time when possible. ”

“ Was able to score a reservation to the #1 restaurant in the country and #6 in the world! Cocktails (5/5): really loved their unique cocktails, we ended up ordering 5 of them! Food (3.5/5): I thought the food was good, but for the price point of $425 I wasn't as amazed as I expected to be. I would say 5/11 courses wowed me. Also wasn't a fan of having two desserts, would've preferred an extra savory dish instead. Overall I had a great experience at my first two star Michelin restaurant and can't wait to try their other restaurants. ”

“ Very much enjoyed our Atomix experience--beautiful dining room, spectacular service (very impressed with the natural small talk interspersed with the courses), impeccably-presented food and drink, and innovative flavors and textures. Upon arrival to Atomix's brownstone, we were ushered past the bar, down a flight of stairs, where the fresh ingredients for our upcoming meal were presented. We learned a bit about the process of making soy sauce and tried two types (diluted), which were like an umami broth. After being seated and ordering drinks, each diner picked a pair of chopsticks from the chef's collection. (I was a bit surprised that none were Korean-style.) Each course is served with a course-specific spoon* along with a beautiful card, which showcases the dishware Atomix sources from a talented artist on one side and explains the ingredients and inspiration behind the course on the other side. (You also receive one with a thank you from the chef at the beginning and another with the full night's menu.) At the end, Atomix provides a card case to keep them in to remember the dining experience. *Researched and tested by the chef and staff! ”

“ Amazing food and a true experience that comes with it!! First of all, pretty cool that the restaurant is hidden inside a brownstone. I was super confused when they called us downstairs to the basement because I fully thought that the dinner was going to happen at the bar on the ground floor lol. They then proceeded to show us a display of fresh produce and seafood that would be used in the dinner and explained a bunch of things that I don't remember at all because I was mesmerized by the display. Also gave us shots of two different liquids to taste, which I think were some form of kombu(?) but I could be misremembering. The dinner itself comes with a bunch of beautiful cards - one in the beginning as a thank you from the chef, another with the full menu for the day, and one given with each course to explain the dish. Each card has an aesthetic print on the back which was cool, and they provide a little box to keep them all at the end. They also had everyone pick a pair of chopsticks from the chef's collection. All the food was immaculate, of course. Both me and my bf's favorite savory course was the one consisting of "nettle egg jjim, sugar snap pea, freshwater eel, and nuruk". The eel was so perfectly done and snap pea was nothing like we've ever tasted before. Def the most memorable and unique for us. We also both tried cocktails a la carte but I didn't feel like they were memorable. Service was of course top tier. ”
