came on a monday night and was able to be seated promptly without a reservation -- the interior is both spacious with lots of seating and adorable; very much leans into the zen and relaxing vibe with screens showing waterfalls and gardens, and a general onsen theme all around. service was friendly and attentive, with food and drinks coming out and being removed quickly. between the two of us, we got the signature set, adding on the wagyu chuck eye, wagyu ribeye, and the pork collar in the signature doenjang broth. the meat and the banchan were all solid and delicious, but the broth was the real star of the meal -- rich and hearty without being too heavy, and warmed me up nicely. read more

Oncheon is a stunning Korean restaurant in Manhattan's ktown with a soothing and calm ambience. The space is beautifully decorated and I love all the decor. There's so much attention to detail even to how the menus were displayed that I really liked. My friend and I shared the lunch shabu shabu for two with the waygu and brisket, udon noodles and ma la soup base. Overall it was filling between the two of us with the set. This is a great spot in ktown for an elevated dining experience! read more

I felt like it was a comfortable place with nice ambiance. The presentation is beautiful but the taste was underwhelming for me in regards to the shabu. I got the soy sauce and everything felt just "okay" in regards to flavor but not a "wow". It's a solid place. Service was attentive and I made a reservation for two the day of for a Monday evening. read more

5/5 Chanhap unagi $35- My friend said this is the best eel she's had in the US, & I agree. This comes with rice on the bottom, on the side: layers of rice, scrambled eggs, seaweed & furikake. There's also wasabi & pickled ginger on the side. The eel is sweet but I didn't really mind it, very flavorful & tender otherwise, I think the furikake or seaweed on the egg was too salty. I didn't use the wasabi which I regret. You're supposed to mix all the sides/everything together so you get a blend of all flavors in 1 bite- sweet, salty, spicy, umami. This also comes with banchan- soy sauce, seaweed, brilliantly plated kkaktugi wrapped in kimchi & a lychee yuzu dessert. Loved everything esp the dessert. 3/5 porcini mushroom set seafood platter $42 glass noodle $5 extra - the crab wasn't the best quality but everything else was pretty good read more

Oncheon ("On" = warm, "Cheon" = spring) really lives up to its name, the whole place has a relaxing, hot-spring vibe. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable, and they serve a very clean, healthy style of hot pot. We ordered the Oncheon Signature Set ($42 per person). For the soup base we chose the fermented soybean broth, which was excellent. The set comes with a box of assorted vegetables and four small side dishes. For proteins, we added the Wagyu ribeye (+$7) and the seafood platter. The Wagyu came with about 5-6 thin slices and the quality was really nice. The seafood platter included scallops, crab, white fish, clams, and shrimp -- a great mix for two people. After cooking everything together, the broth became incredibly flavorful from the seafood and beef. That's one of my favorite parts of hot pot -- the soup just keeps getting better as you go. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience felt relaxing rather than rushed. I'd probably go with the seafood platter alone next time since it's a good value for the portion. All in all, a great spot for a lighter, healthier hot pot. You leave feeling full but still comfortable. read more

Visited again on a cold day in NYC! They sat us at the bar seating in the back and the ambiance was super crazy as always. Food was solid as well, but definitely a bit pricey for the amount of food. Very delicious though and would recommend visiting! read more

Oncheon is one of my favorite new spots around k-town for lunch & dinner! The ingredients feel premium in the food and the ambiance is very relaxing. The staff is always kind as well. The menu has two types of options, either a healthy hotpot set or a box set. I've tried both and they're both really good! The hotpot set comes with a large amount of veggies and meat and you can add in extras like noodles. The box sets are perfect in case you're not in the mood for hotpot. They both come with side dishes/banchan so you can't go wrong. The crispy beef fritter appetizer, unagi box set and sukiyaki hot pot are my personal favorites here. read more

Came for lunch and enjoyed a cozy and interactive shabu shabu meal here, which they seem to be popular for. Note that for the shabu shabu, you're required to order a veggie & soup base set at a per person rate (which is then shared between 2 people), as well as add on a minimum of 1 protein per person. A bit confusing, and we noticed it adds quickly. The shabu shabu spread arrives in beautifully arranged boxes with individual dipping sauces and small banchan sides (the frozen yuzu lychee was so delicious!). For the sukiyaki soup base, they also give you an egg that you can use to dip your meats in. While the food portions seemed just right for everyone (we also ordered some extra noodles), I'd say if you came super hungry, the portions may not be completely filling. For lunch, it seemed like a "just right" appropriate amount, though we did head out to fill up on dessert afterwards too. read more

My goodness! What an experience! From the servers, to the presentation, to the quality of the food, this place has it all! I was in the mood for something, wasn't sure what, and in NYC you can literally fall into somewhere great, and I walked past this place at least 20 times, but for some reason, it caught my eye today. Upon entering, you are immediately greeted but you get completely overwhelmed because from the outside, you don't expect what you walk into: it's dimly lit, but tastefully. The booths and tables are cozy, spread out enough to feel like you are alone. Even the bar (where I sat), felt like I was in my own world. It's beautifully decorated, and extremely aesthetically pleasing. With plants throughout, waterfalls, and perfect lighting. The server will give you several menus, offer suggestions, and pour you a glass of bamboo tea. I asked about it, and she stated that her family has it at home all the time, and it's the perfect complement to the meal experience you are about to have. I can't remember everything I ordered, but I decided I wanted glass noodles, and they were delicious. You're given a pot with whatever broth you decide to try, a platter of sauces, one of vegetables, and one of meat. The server will offer suggestions, ask your spicy tolerance level, and set everything up. It's so much food! And I did my best sampling everything, the cold and hot sauces were perfect, the meat was juicy, and the veggies were fresh and crispy. I spent under $45 for the entire meal. I'll be back very soon! read more

Oncheon delivers both comfort and quality. The broth was rich and deeply flavorful without being too heavy, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. The presentation was beautiful and thoughtful -- even the small side dishes felt intentional and well-balanced. Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the space has a cozy, relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger. Perfect for a casual but elevated dinner. Definitely coming back. read more

Enjoyable experience overall. The uni beef tartare was excellent and definitely the highlight. I had the beef ribeye and seafood for shabu shabu -- good quality and satisfying. The matcha tiramisu was okay, not bad but not particularly memorable. Everything was well executed, though nothing really stood out beyond the tartare. Solid spot if you're in the mood for shabu shabu. read more

Honestly, I had really high expectations for this place after seeing all the good reviews. I've had a hot spring meal in Japan itself, so I'm very familiar with the experience. I do feel that they executed the shabu shabu quite well. The spicy sauce, as well as ponzu sauce were a really excellent pairing for the seafood. I felt that the seafood platter was the most worth it as I glanced over at other tables who ordered beef as their entrée and you only get a few slices. However, the crab was not fresh so the meat was quite mushy which was a bit offputting. I do have to give 100 marks for their Unagi Don though. The eel was really tender, and I really enjoyed the Unagi sauce which was a little sweet. The egg on the rice bowl was also a good mix for the dish. Overall, I really enjoyed the flavors in this rice bowl and would order it again. My major complaint would be the takeout order I made the next day. I ordered a kurobata pork bento which ended up looking nothing like the picture. The meat was very light in color and tasted as if it was just stir fried in oil. I was really disappointed as the photo included items like mushroom as well as lotus root, but in the end, we only had a few slices of pork on top. Overall, I really liked the vibe of the restaurant and it felt very serene and calm. We also received top-notch service during our meal so I would return but only for very specific items. read more

I wanted to try a different kind of hot pot/shabu shabu and this was highly recommended to me. So we had a group of 5, and that means you get 2 pots, but everyone gets their own set. So we picked two different soups, one doenjang and one shabu shabu (you need two stoves for this one). We each got to pick a meat, and I upgraded one to the wagyu ribeye while everyone else got a wagyu chuck or seafood platter. The waitstaff helps cook your meal for you and it was nice to have someone show you how to maximize your enjoyment. The sides were great, and I wish they were unlimited, but alas. Would definitely come back to try their lunch special someday! read more

What a treat! The service is amazing and attentive and the food is even better. Our party of 4 made sure to make a reservation and we were able to be seated on arrival. We paired up to share soup bases, two of us ordered the sukiyaki and the other 2 got the mushroom broth. The sukiyaki was full of flavor and at times a little too salty but there's water to help dilute the broth. The mushroom was on the lighter side but perfect for those who don't like strong flavors. The staff helps you cook the sukiyaki and the other broths are self cook. While it was nice they helped cook when the meat goes in the timer to finish your food starts. The meat selection was delicious we didn't upgrade and found the quality to be pretty yum. Would recommend adding an order of fresh noodles to finish off your meal. The noodles soak up all the yummy broth! Would recommend for special occasions or just to enjoy a elevated time :) read more

NYC is way too cold right now, so this meal was very fitting. The uni wagyu tartare was good, everything went really well together flavor wise, and the seaweed added a nice crisp. Drink was good too, Korean pear flavor came through very well in the glow Seoul read more

I stopped in for the lunch shabu shabu set and it was mid overall. Food: 3/5 I got the fermented soybean broth had nice flavor, and the Korean noodles were a good choice. You only get a few slices of beef, so expect to fill up on veggies and noodles. The standout was the fresh tofu salad--silky tofu, edamame, and a flavorful dressing I could eat every day. Skip the complimentary green-tea tiramisu they offer if you leave a review--it tasted mostly like whipped cream with a faint matcha layer. Total damage $55 with tip! Service: 4/5 I was seated immediately and had my pot and sides within 15 minutes--very efficient. The only hiccup was ordering tea: they poured one cup but never left the pot, so staff kept topping it with water by mistake. Friendly overall, and the owner seemed genuinely happy to check in. Ambiance: 4/5 Trendy interior with a Japanese vibe that makes you forget you're in busy Koreatown. It's a relaxed spot for a solo lunch or a low-key meal with friends. All in all, an okay lunch value and a fun shabu shabu experience if you're nearby. I'd return for the tofu salad, but probably not for dessert or a special night out. read more

I didn't even know Korean shabu-shabu was a thing before this restaurant! I went with two friends for an early Sunday dinner. Reservations were super easy to make - they always have a lot of availability. We got the signature shabu-shabu, the soy sauce sukiyaki, and the bulgogi gujeolpan to share. I've never had gujeolpan before, but it was delicious! I loved how thin the wrappers were - they reminded me of the wrappers you use for Chinese peking duck. The shabu-shabu was also so good! We decided not to order meat, which really confused all of the waiters. I think like three different people came up to our table and asked if we were sure we didn't want meat and if we were vegetarian. Honestly, they give you so much of the tofu and veggies that we were completely stuffed afterwards. We didn't need the meat at all! read more

My friend and I chose Oncheon for lunch because we saw great lunch deals on sets. To drink, I ordered the Korean pear cocktail which was delicious. A delicate and refreshing pear flavor, really really good. For my meal, I ordered the tteokgalbi which was a blend of pork and beef over rice. The set came with banchan that was really unique - like a lychee yuzu jelly and a perfectly wrapped spiral of kimchi. I would definitely recommend coming for their lunch specials, and I would love to try their shabu shabu on my next visit. read more

Restaurant has dimmed lights but not too dark. Ambiance is quite nice, perfect for either with a group of friends or with couples. This looks like a good date spot! I came with another friend to try this spot because we were looking for something warm to eat on a cold day and it was the perfect choice! We got the soy sauce sukiyaki with added wagyu ribeye and udon. We wanted to tried the yuzu ade. The staff set up the pot and cooks for you! Very patient to explain the menus as it was our first time here. I love that we have individual banchan and can asks for more. The banchan that I had consists of cucumber, kimchee, potato salad and pear with lychee! read more

Solid shabu shabu, a bit on the pricey side for the amount of food you get. Both the Doenjang and Sukiyaki broths had great flavor, and the unlimited banchan was a nice touch. The standout entree for me was actually the Chanhap Basa Fish- very well seasoned and paired really well with the white rice and veggies that came with it. Oh and and do not skip the crispy beef fritters- they were very addictive read more

My friend and I randomly stopped by on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30 PM. The restaurant was empty and we were seated right away. The decorations in the restaurant was beautiful. We got to sit in one of the booth seats which were comfortable; however, the seats and table were pushed in really closely together so it was uncomfortable going in and out. Our server came by pretty quickly with menus and cold tea. Service throughout the meal was great. For the meal we split: a SIGNATURE DOENJANG SHABU SHABU and WAGYU STEAK CHANHAP MEAL BOX. The Shabu shabu was great. Broth was tasty and had a good amount of toppings. The Wagyu rice box was also very delicious, a great composition of everything. We added uni on top which was a great addition. Each meal comes with delicious Bonchon. All of them were beautifully made and tasty. I especially loved the tri-colored pickle, black sesame paste and yuzu lychee jelly. All in all, a great meal option in K-Town! read more

It was my first time here. For food we ordered the kimchi pancake, bossam, steak over rice and eel over rice. For dessert we got the matcha tiramisu. Everything was well presented and the food was clean Korean-tasting with a few twists. It is on the pricier side but I had no complaints about the food. The matcha tiramisu was very good. It was not very noisy and there were a few people that were eating alone. Service was attentive. I would recommend. read more

My husband liked this place more than I did. I thought it was fine but preferred other standard hot pot places.

Came here for lunch on a Monday, and it was such a serene escape near Koreantown. They aim to recreate an atmosphere where you are eating near a hot spring. The place is spacious and each booth gives you an intimate feel with your company. The waitress was super friendly, professional, and calming herself. We ordered the $30 weekday lunch special which offers very generous portions. I had the crispy fritter, my friend had the Basa fish, which I highly recommend as it was moist and tasty. My other friend had the pork/beef, but turns out it was a patty which the side dish already has a sampling of. Each side dish is exquisitely crafted, and it felt and tasted high-end. They even provided a side of miso soup. From that standpoint the price was very reasonable. They even had a dessert side to complete the experience. read more

My first time trying a Korean shabu-shabu! I love the whole idea of rejuvenating oneself with soul healing food. For dinner you can pick between the shabu-shabu or the rice bento boxes, both options are $40. You get to pick a main course for protein and each set comes with 8 side dishes. The presentation was very aesthetic and each tasted delicious on its own. However if you have sensitive stomach, beware. The mix of all the different side dishes made me feel bloated and uncomfortable after the meal. I wish they had recommendations on which order to eat the dishes. There were a great variety of different tastes - savory, acidic, sweet, spicy, warm, and even one that's a sorbet. I think eating all these different mixture within a span of 10 minutes was what made my stomach uncomfortable. My friends that came with me all felt fine though. Overall had a great experience dining here. The set was definitely enough food, we all left stuffed. read more

Korean style hotpot- nice interior and service! We got their doenjang and mala soup bases. The doenjang was good but the mala soup did not taste like mala at all, it was kind of mushroomy not that spicy but still ok though just definitely not actually "mala". We also got the premium beef platter that had flat iron and wagyu ribeye. The beef quality was good but the wagyu wasn't THAT much more tender than the regular beef- I've definitely had better. But they give you a set of side dishes and it was a good amount of food! The price was definitely expensive but it is the city so that's to be expected. And I really liked their matcha tiramisu dessert! read more

Gorgeous little Korean restaurant in K-Town. The interior, food plating, and even the menu book design were beautiful. This is a great place if you want to introduce someone to a hint of traditional Korean dining. We tried: 1. Bulgogi Gujeolpan (5/5) - The presentation was impressive, and the flavors were amazing. I just wish there were more miljeonbyeongs (thin wheat flatcakes). 2. Shabu Shabu (4.5/5) - It had a generous portion (the quality of the beef was good too), but it's not the typical hotpot style you might expect. The banchan that came with it was beautifully presented, though a few were quite unique. I personally thought the combination of select banchans (texture and scent) was a bit odd. 3. Yuzu Makgeolli (4/5) - It wasn't strong at all and felt more like a sweet cocktail. Overall, I'd say the food was decent and made me want to come back to try some of the single dishes. Oncheon is a beautiful restaurant worth experiencing at least once. *Reservation recommended - this place gets very busy on weekends. *Great service - the servers were attentive and accommodating. *One downside is that you have to share a pot (for two people), and it was a bit shallow. read more

Oncheon is a Christmas Instagram paradise that can't figure out what it wants to be when it grows up. Is it Korean hot pot? Then why does it bill itself as shabu shabu, which is Japanese? Why are the dipping sauces Japanese and Chinese? For that matter, is it even hot pot? Then why are the pots so small, and the burners so finicky that you need to align them in perfect Indian Jones-style precision or risk being flattened by a boulder? I don't have the answers. I just know that we had one chaotic meal for our group of 8. The Crispy Beef Belly Fritters and Seafood Kimchi Jeon that we started with were quite good, but it devolved from there. Oncheon is NOT well set up for groups larger than four. Our table was too small for the pyramids of bento boxes they heaped on us, and we only had two burners and two small pots that would've taken countless hours for everyone to cook their bites of food. We got the Signature Doenjang and Spicy Curry for the Shabu Shabu. The former was bland, and the latter was too sweet (and not spicy at all). The 1st and 2nd Layers of veggies, wagyu, and mushrooms were fine. The 3rd and 4th Layers of additional small bites were lovely to look at, but I could've done without the fussy presentation if it meant having more space to eat without knocking over a box. Also, our server really needed to take a Xanax because she was more high-strung than a violin on crack. There were times when WE had to calm her down and assure her things would be all right--it felt like a group therapy session. All in all, I'll stick to grown-up hot pot restaurants that know how to handle the cuisine--not young noobs playing dress-up. read more

The ambiance inside was super cute and relaxing with spacious booths and tables. We ordered the kimchi seafood jeon, bashi fish over rice and two hot pots with doenjang and sukiyaki broth. Then we also got the premium meat platter with extra sides for the hot pot - the quality of meat was great and we really enjoyed the broth. All the banchan was also refreshing and complimented the dishes nicely. It was definitely a unique experience and would recommend if you're craving soup or korean shabu shabu. read more
