Atomix

Atomix is one of Manhattan's most desired dining rooms. Secreted away in a Murray Hill brownstone, the room unfolds into a chic bar and a subterranean dining counter sporting dark stone, soothing earth tones and views of the kitchen's inner works.
Chef Junghyun Park and his wife Ellia head a team that continues to push the boundaries of modern Korean cooking.  Dishes are delicate, yet satisfying and display extraordinary finesse. Mastery of technique and depth of flavor are seen in the likes of three-day salt-and-nuruk-cured kohlrabi, and rich Japanese butterfish dabbed with XO sauce and served in a froth of white kimchi sauce. The finale perfectly suits the meal, as in rice ice cream set atop Japanese castella and dressed with malted barley syrup and crushed honeycomb candy.
