"Atoboy is a Korean restaurant from the team behind Atomix and a bunch of other spots on this guide (Hojokban, Her Name is Han). And like a lot of those places, the narrow, windowless, mostly concrete space has a minimalist feel to it. Your only option is a four-course $75 (gratuity included) dinner, with plenty of possible add-ons. Dishes change often, but your meal might include a plate of meaty yellowtail with green mustard and some shrimp mandu in a lobster broth. This is one of the top prix fixe options in the city, and it's always a fun, impressive, and surprisingly casual experience." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, carina finn koeppicus
"Atoboy, from the Atomix team, is fine dining for people who don’t like fine dining. This Flatiron spot serves a four-course $75 prix fixe in a casual space with scuffed concrete floors, and their food is just as impressive as anything you’ll find at a spot with an overbearing maître d’. The menu changes frequently, but the Korean-inspired dishes are always one of a kind. You might eat some octopus served over a warm sweet potato puree, or you might have snap peas with kimchi and foie gras. Whatever you get, be sure to add on the optional fried chicken course." - bryan kim, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
"An acclaimed Nomad restaurant mentioned as part of the same group's portfolio, noted alongside other successful projects by the same operators." - Melissa McCart
"Dim the lights, put on some Marvin Gaye, and eat Atoboy’s food with the confidence and leisure of someone who doesn’t have to do the dishes. This Korean spot in Flatiron has a special delivery and takeout menu with entrees like galbi, gochujang chicken, and sunchokes wiith oyster mushrooms. Almost everything comes with banchan, kimchi, and white rice, and they also have a wine list with bottles exclusively in the $30 range. You can check their Instagram for more details and place your order online." - hannah albertine
"Full disclosure - there are only three vegetarian options on the menu at this Korean spot in Flatiron. But all three of them are interesting combinations of things like sunchokes, truffles, and chrysanthemum that rank among the best vegetable-based dishes we’ve ever had. Plus, the communal tables in the industrial-looking space here work perfectly for packing in with a big group and plenty of drinks for as long as humanly possible." - nikko duren, matt tervooren
