Best Dishes at Atomix
Hanwoo Tartare
Small PlatesChef Park's signature opening course showcasing premium Korean beef. The tartare is delicately prepared with bright Asian pear for acidity and sweet pine nuts for texture contrast. The raw quail yolk adds richness and is meant to be broken into the tartare for a luxurious umami finish.
Sea Urchin Bibimbap
MainsA contemporary reimagining of Korea's beloved mixed rice dish. The base is warm, slightly sticky bibimbap rice topped with uni and caviar, creating an unexpected combination that honors tradition while pushing toward luxury. Each spoonful mixes the creamy urchin, the pop of caviar, and the comforting rice.
Jeju Abalone
MainsA showcase of ingredient quality: sweet, tender abalone from Korea's Jeju Island served with seasoned seaweed rice and a light, umami-rich dashi broth. Reviewers consistently mention how bouncy and perfectly cooked the abalone is, and how the dashi broth elevates it without overwhelming the delicate shellfish flavor.
Halibut with Sea Urchin and Rice Porridge
MainsA refined seafood course where pristine halibut is served over silky rice porridge infused with dashi, topped with uni. The contrast of the flaky white fish against the creamy, savory porridge and the briny richness of the sea urchin creates multiple layers of flavor and texture in a single bite.
Tteokgalbi with Chocolate and Chopi
MainsA surprising combination that works: grilled short rib patty (tteokgalbi) finished with a thin coating of dark chocolate and finished with spicy Korean chopi pepper. The chocolate adds subtle depth and tannin without being sweet, while the chopi brings heat. Reviewers note the textural contrast of the caramelized meat against the smooth chocolate coating.
