The dining experience as a whole was satisfactory; certain dishes stood out while others fell short of expectations. The entrees, particularly the fried chicken, failed to leave a lasting impression, especially when contrasted with the myriad of exceptional Korean fried chicken offerings available in NYC. The cod was one-note with an overpowering gochugang curry sauce.There were notable highlights such as the sea urchin steamed egg, the squash, and the refreshing sujeonggwa granita, though the occasional overpowering presence of cinnamon in the granita detracted slightly from the overall enjoyment. I would recommend a visit to sample select items, but skip the fried chicken and cod.
We were really looking forward to eating here, and had heard great things. However, we felt that the tasting menu provided an average dining experience - the courses felt a little rushed, and while a number of plates felt ambitious in substance, the result didn’t quite work. For the price, we expected more.

My friend and I decided on Atoboy as the main food-event for our NYC trip. We were very much looking forward to this place we had heard great things about, luckily the food did not dissapoint.Unfortunately the dining experience was overshadowed by the rushed feeling of the evening. None of the courses had a minute between them. The mains were served almost immediately after the add-on fried chicken course (+28$), promised between the 2nd and 3rd course; by the time we had finished it, our mains had already gotten cold. The wine service was great and sommelier knowledgeable but same as the food, we could not finish a glass before getting a refill. While finishing our wine, our conversation was disrupted by the waitress smacking the bill (that we hadn’t yet asked for) on our table wishing us a ”good night” without any inquiry on how our night had gone.While less expensive than it’s older sibling Atomix, a ~300$ would still warrant a relaxing dining experience, which the 1,5hr reservation simply does not provide.
We went to Atoboy because hard to get the reservation of Atomix. Food is match the price of $75 prix-fixe. Only outstanding items are Stripe Bass & Korean Pear(forgot to take pictures). Better to have 3 people in a group that you could try everything. We must have Dessert due to someone birthday, but I wouldn’t suggest after we try. Atmosphere is more ideal for younger group.
An incredible dining experience- the staff was super attentive
