"You’ll never forget a meal at Atomix. That might sound like an exaggeration, but it’s not. This place serves a 10-course Korean tasting menu, and each dish comes with its own illustrated notecard that has a detailed description of every single ingredient (down to hydrangea tea leaves and cherry blossom vinegar). This is just one of the reasons why dinner at Atomix feels completely worth the $175 price tag. The main reason, however, is the food. A meal here lasts roughly two hours, and it’ll include things like a perfectly tender piece of halibut over foie gras, uni with housemade almond tofu, and some lightly battered wagyu that’s slightly reminiscent of savory French toast. And at the end of your meal, you get to take all your notecards with you. Leave them by the entrance to your home, and use them as an excuse to tell any visitors about your experience here." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, matt tervooren
