Somssi in Greenwich Village, NYC: A Korean-Influenced Bistro From the Atomix Team on MacDougal Street

Somssi, at 79 MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village, is a Korean-influenced bistro from NA:EUN, the restaurant group behind Atomix. It opened in February 2026. Where Atomix is known for its tasting-menu format, Somssi works as a bistro, a place to pick dishes and eat at an easier pace.

The menu takes Korean flavors as its base and borrows the structure of a European-style bistro. Kimchi ragu is tossed with linguine, ox tongue is glazed in tare and cooked until lacquered, and mutton chops are seasoned with cumin. Pasta, offal and lamb together read as a search for common ground between Korean cooking and bistro cooking, and the interest lies in how fermented depth and heat sit alongside Western technique.

To drink, the bar serves mini cocktails. The small pours make it easy to try more than one over the course of a meal and to match them to different dishes.

Dinner is served Tuesday through Saturday, and reservations can be made through the restaurant's website. The block is a short walk from Washington Square Park, in an area full of bars and music venues, so it suits an evening that continues on foot afterward. For anyone curious about Atomix's cooking, or about newer takes on Korean food in New York, Somssi is worth a visit.
