Founded by chef Junghyun 'JP' Park and his wife Ellia, the restaurant has earned two Michelin stars and, in 2025, was ranked No.12 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list, the highest position ever attained by a North American restaurant.
Atomix offers a unique culinary experience, blending Korean heritage with a New York and global lens. The restaurant serves two tasting menus, each dish meticulously curated and accompanied by a detailed card. The beverage program is equally impressive, featuring rare wines and distinctive spirits such as Korean soju and sake.
The restaurant's rise to culinary prominence is a testament to New York City's status as a culinary powerhouse. In 2025, the city boasted 13 entries on the North America's 50 Best Restaurants list, with Atomix topping the list. This achievement is a major milestone for Korean fine dining, showcasing its potential to lead the continental and global culinary stage.
