NARO
NARO cooks Korean food on the rink level under Rockefeller Center. Dinner is five courses the chef picks, at $110. Junghyun "JP" Park is that chef and his wife Ellia Park runs the company. The two of them also own Atomix and Atoboy.
Why go
The kitchen reads the Korean classics of the Parks' heritage through a contemporary lens, while honoring the rich foundations of Korean cooking
. Traditional technique and seasonal sourcing are how the house says it gets there.1
An all-day a la carte menu runs seven days alongside the sets, so you can stop in for one plate.1
The elevator marked NARO is on 49th Street between Fifth and Sixth, and it goes down to the rink level. The stairs toward the rink work too, through the glass doors.2
Order this / avoid
- Order: at lunch, the three-course set at $49 with dessert in it, or the two-course at $39.
- Order: off the all-day a la carte when you are only stopping in.
- Avoid: planning the terrace as a dinner. It pours drinks only, in the afternoon, and only when the weather holds.
What locals & experts say
- North America's 50 Best Restaurants, 2026: Atomix, the Parks' twelve-course tasting counter, placed No.7. The list credits the pair with forging
a new narrative for Korean cuisine across the globe.
That placing is Atomix's.3
Good to know
- Getting in: the room books online and trades seven days for lunch and dinner.1
- Where: 610 Fifth Avenue, rink level, also addressed as 10 West 50th Street.
Verdict
could-visit — Lunch here is a weekday meal with no ceremony attached to it. Dinner is the long version and wants a whole evening.
