The 21 Best Korean Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Of all the places in New York City where you can spend a face-melting amount of money on dinner, Atomix in Nomad is the one that’s most likely to stick with you. Dinner, which starts at $395, takes place in a sunken lounge with a 14-seat counter around an open kitchen, and it consists of around 10 inventive courses that are Korean at heart, even if they zoom off in different directions. Expect dishes along the lines of langoustine with foie gras custard, and luxe permutations of things like cherry blossom trout, Korean mustard, and rhubarb root. At the end of your meal, you’ll get a nice keepsake: a set of flashcards with an in-depth description of every dish that you ate. Reservations are released online on the first of each month at 3pm. It’s important to note that the month’s entire slate of reservations becomes available on the first. So that’s your only window. There’s also an online waitlist you can join." - bryan kim, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
