"As a Korean restaurant, it kept its two-star rating." - Melissa McCart
"A Korean tasting menu restaurant, Atomix landed at number one on the wider list." - Dianne de Guzman
"Ranked No. 1 on the new North America’s 50 Best list, I noted Atomix as a New York City Korean American tasting-menu restaurant that received the highest number of weighted votes from 300 regional voters and anchors a triumvirate of high-end Korean tasting menus alongside Jungsik and Benu." - Matthew Kang
"Touted as the best restaurant in North America on 50 Best's inaugural list, Atomix is a New York City fine-dining restaurant from husband-wife team Junghyun ("JP") and Ellia Park that has been serving an innovative tasting menu of Korean cuisine since it opened in 2018. Its impeccable dishes and hospitality earned the restaurant two Michelin stars in 2021, and it ranked 12th on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2025 (down from a high of No. 6 the prior year); Atomix was the only North American restaurant to make that global top 50. After the win Ellia said, "This is a dream; I'm in the clouds. This [win] is not just for me and for us and our restaurant, it's for our country too," and JP added that when they first moved to the U.S. they never thought they could be on that stage, saying they're "just working hard and trying to make better food and build some community, which we love." - ByAbbey Stone
