Atomix

Atomix is a restaurant in Nomad, it does a $175 10-course Korean tasting menu. It isn’t the kind of place where you’ll go once a month, or (probably) even once a year when you check the price - but the food is genuinely excellent, and beyond that, there are a lot of little details that make this place worth your money for a very special night out. This restaurant features a 14-seat tasting menu set around a single U-shaped counter, run by chef Junghyun ‘JP’ Park and his wife Ellia.

The courses themselves start small and chilled, then gradually turn into more substantial things like lightly battered wagyu, a tender piece of fish over foie gras with tiny orbs of squash, and some bite-sized slices of perfectly cooked duck with a side of Korean-inspired mole. The dishes are complex and attractive, but you don’t feel like you’re desecrating a piece of modern art when you eat them - and, more importantly, everything tastes very good.
