"Turning nine years old, Atoboy is one of JP Park’s earlier restaurants and part of the group that lets him express different outlets; despite its longevity, I hear some diners prioritize newer openings and often put Atoboy 'maybe later' on their lists, which Park cites as a challenge in a crowded 2025 dining landscape where revenue growth has softened after the post-COVID rebound. As part of a portfolio that ranges from casual to fine dining, Atoboy benefits from the team’s emphasis on people and community even as Park navigates how to keep established spots top of mind." - Bettina Makalintal
