How to book Atomix

Atomix is the second New York restaurant of chef Junghyun Park and his wife Ellia Park, the manager; it followed their first place, Atoboy¹. It opened in May 2018 in a townhouse at 104 East 30th Street^8,6. The name draws on an old Korean word for gift, and the couple describe the cooking as new Korean cuisine rooted in Korean tradition and technique¹.

The main dining room is a 14-seat U-shaped counter on the lower floor, set around an open kitchen, with two seatings each night^2,5. The tasting menu runs to about a dozen courses, served on custom ceramics, and each dish arrives with a card explaining its ingredients, origin and inspiration^5,7. The kitchen cannot adapt the menu for vegan, vegetarian or celiac diets, or for allergies to seafood, dairy, gluten or allium². The wine list mixes classic and more experimental producers chosen to suit the food².

Upstairs, a cocktail bar serves its own shorter tasting menu, prepared by the restaurant's research and development chef and paired with drinks chosen by the beverage team³. The restaurant holds two Michelin stars⁴, and The World's 50 Best Restaurants ranked it No. 12 in 2025⁵. Its own page also lists a three-star New York Times review and James Beard awards, including Best Chef New York State in 2023 for Junghyun Park¹.
