People are always looking for something new.”Park, who’s now 34, began his New York career at Jungsik, the pioneering Michelin-starred Korean restaurant.
After deciding that Korean food was his true calling, Park returned to Seoul in 2010 to work at the original Jungsik, a cutting-edge restaurant that was combining Korean fare with a Western fine-dining style and global techniques. He quickly rose through the ranks to become the head chef, and in 2011 moved to New York to open a branch in Tribeca.
Atoboy’s three-course menu centers around elevated versions of banchan, the snacks that often made up Park’s childhood meals and are usually given out for free in Korean restaurants. The moderate pricing — it is now $46 for three plates — brought in waves of adventurous food-lovers.Atomix opened last year in a townhouse renovated by Korean architects. Its staff wears uniforms made by Korean designers. Customers sit at a black, U-shaped counter and use Korean-made chopsticks.
