Always a good time. Food was consistently good and the makgeolli (Korean wine) was delicious. The tasting menu supplements were filling.

Our server, Sania, is a gem. I would hire her to join my team in a moment, you can't teach genuinely good attitude

Wow. Just wow. So many dishes were to die for. Our favorites were the fried chicken (double fried!!), the beef tartare, and sea urchin egg dishes! Definitely come with a group of at least 3 so you can try all the options. Note, gratuity is included in the $75 menu cost. Also note, dessert is extra.

By course: cucumber, octopus, fried chicken. The octopus and fried chicken were some of the best bites I’ve ever had. Amy, Jordan, and Arnie were so welcoming and kind. We got one of everything. The lamb was probably the only thing we could’ve done without.

It was a whole experience, the food the drinks and the service. Because the food was so good we even missed to take pictures from the first two courses. My friend said that this was the best fried chicken she ever had. We will definitely recommend that you each choose different dishes because everything was so good. We will definitely visit again.

Top line of our menu was printed with congratulations newlyweds, which was a very very sweet and nice touch, we truly appreciate ATOBOY.

Every single dish was a combo of flavor bomb & unexpected amazing textures. We had a bottle of California Syrah, delicious, delicious, delicious!

The staff were super nice, the service was very attentive and comfortable.

For sure to come back!

Great food selection and delivery. I am generally not a big fan of uni, but I liked the starter version here. I pretty much liked all of the prefix and was especially taken back by the fried chicken. Its skin was just so crunch like nothing I have had before.

Dining at ATOBOY is an experience in taste, texture and perfect balance. We started with Sea Urchin. The creaminess of the urchin was balanced with crunchy seaweed, bits of nuts and micro greens, altogether making a delightful surprise to eat. That was followed by scallop which was dressed in a lovely skirt of squash blossoms and sauced in green. Once again perfectly balanced in taste and texture. I had pork belly which looked like it was sauced in barbecue sauce, but it was so light and flavorful that it was a complement rather than a cover. For dessert I had granita. It looked granita but tasted exactly like peach pie a la mode. A gorgeous peach pie spiced with cinnamon and other warm spices. Every dish was so perfectly balanced with flavors and textures that we were constantly delighted and surprised. If you view good food as an art form, do not miss this dining experience.

Not your typical Korean food. The place is semi-casual and located next to the station. It opens on Mondays which is a bonus. It is a four course menu for 75 dollars. In 3/4 courses there are 3 options to choose from. It is best to come as a group if 3 or more if you want to try everything.

As for the food, we were able to sample almost everything on the menu. The food was well executed and cooked perfectly. The cod and octopus was perfect. The pineapple brined fried chicken was sublime. Dessert was amazing and left me wanting more. They are excellent in what they do. My only critique is that they played it a bit safe :D
