“Everything we ate was tasty but I’m realizing I’m not into fusion/modern korean food even though it’s the trendy thing right now, would much rather go to an old school korean place and have jjigae and rice.”

“we enjoyed atoboy but last yr when we went, we got the supplement of short rib and it was just 3 small thin slices with a ton of greens on top. it was like 25-35 bucks. def was not worth it”

“If you’re going to Korea then these New York prices will definitely disappoint. I think the best way to enjoy Atoboy is if you focus on the vibes and think of it more like a wine bar where the food is a bonus”
H2
“food was on point, service was fine, but we both agreed the overall experience was a let down - like getting served a beautiful wine in a child’s sand bucket.”

“Atoboy tasting menu”
H2
“Atoboy/Naro - modern takes on Korean food - naro more inspired by historical dishes, atoboy inspired by banchan”
H2
“Pretty yummy and not expensive, but it also didn't really taste fine. A lot of thick, creamy, dishes that children and picky eaters would enjoy. Still a good meal!”
H2
“Speaking of restaurants I’ve visited and enjoyed: Atoboy - if you don’t get any add ons their prix fixe menu is $75/person including gratuity. Leaves room for drinks.”

H2
“Atoboy is a good high end, but less expensive restaurant.”

“I don’t like Atoboy either, and I also think it’s overpriced”

“Honestly Atoboy or any of the many Japanese places in Greenpoint are the defining cultural touch point of higher end dining in NYC for me at the moment. You really can’t find anything like it anywhere else, and Atoboy is at a pretty good price point.”
H2
“the only memorable thing was the add-on fried chicken, it was super juicy. Probably the juiciest fried chicken I’ve ever had.”

H2
“it ended up being a good meal that I probably could have had elsewhere, and with more freedom to pick what I wanted to eat. I’m not mad about spending $75 and it was perfectly fine. But I wouldn’t go back when there’s so much else to try.”
H2
“The best part was the mochi dessert. Everything else very meh. 3 stars”
H2
