Atomix

Atomix opened in 2018 as the fine-dining follow-up to Atoboy from chef Junghyun “JP” Park and manager Ellia Park (NA;EUN Hospitality). A ground-floor bar and subterranean chef’s counter occupy a brownstone; the chef’s counter is a U-shaped, reservation-only tasting experience. Michelin awards two stars; the New York Times has given three stars; World’s 50 Best and North America’s 50 Best rankings and a 2023 James Beard Best Chef: New York State award for Park sit alongside a 2025 James Beard Outstanding Hospitality recognition for the restaurant. The menu rotates with Korean reference points and high-end technique; beverage pairings (including nonalcoholic) are part of the house identity. Hard, prepaid reservations are the norm.

Guests and critics focus on hospitality, pacing, and polished Korean fine dining. Cost runs to hundreds per person before drinks; reservations are scarce; dietary restrictions under house policy are tight. Fans call the service among the city’s warmest at this price; a few note the brownstone is easy to miss.
