Ambiance (5/5): It is absolutely beautiful on the inside with scenic décor on the walls, fountains in the middle of the restaurant, large booths / regular tables. Service (5/5): The server was very polite and explained to us how things worked. She helped us get started and refilled items when requested.We made it for their 6:30p Happy Hour for $12 cocktails ($5 saving!) - I enjoyed the Dokdo Spritz and Glow Seoul which are more light, fruity flavored drinks.Yuk Jeon (beef pancakes) (5/5): Big fan of this one! Crispy Beef Fritters (4/5): Skippable. While the outside crunch was nice, I thought that the inside lacked flavor. Banchon: I was a big fan of the sweet potato mush, sliced marinated cucumbers were great, kimchi roll was good, and the lychee is meant to be eaten as a dessert.For the shabu shabu experience, the $20pp is pretty steep when it doesn't come with meats and the veggie plate is kinda small. We did not get veggie add-ons but we ordered 2 orders of noodles and rice for our party of 6. Along with 2 broths and 6 platters (4 being premium, 2 being regular). This was more than enough despite the recommendation of 1-2 per pp. Soy Sauce Sukiyaki is a must!! The savoriness of the base is SO good. The pan was lower so when demonstrated the broth was low which meant things cooked much slower and we got impatient! Doenjang felt like a normal/standard soup base. It cooked a lot faster. The premium cut platters had a quality difference than the normal beef cut (slightly more tough). Overall, the experience was positive but for the dollar value (each person $74 after tip) felt a little steep for what we had. I would opt for an AYCE hot pot over this or try some of their rice platters instead. read more

The ambiance was very relaxing and I really enjoyed spending time and sitting there. The food was really good and the service was very attentive. The staff came back several times. And it was a very cozy spot to spend time to enjoy a meal and catch up with friends because it wasn't overwhelmingly loud. read more

We had a Girls Night Out at a fairly new restaurant in K-Town Monday night. The minute you walk into Oncheon, you are greeted warmly by the maitre d. Brian kindly seated me even though I was 15 minutes early. I kept taking pics of the beautiful decor, from the entrance up to my seat. Overall, the service is impeccable, and the courses are so delicious!! We will be back for more!! read more

We were searching for a shabu restaurant and came across this place, and it ended up being such a great experience overall. We ordered the soy sauce sukiyaki and the signature doenjang, and both were really satisfying, but I prefer the sukiyaki because the flavor was stronger. Since we went with the sukiyaki, the servers came over and cooked everything for us at the table first, then showed us how to do it ourselves, which made the whole meal feel more interactive. The meat and veggies were fresh and flavorful, and the side dishes were all solid. The quality was great, but the meat portion was a bit on the smaller side. I wish it came with just a little bit more pieces of meat, then it would be perfect. The ambiance was another highlight. The restaurant has a classy, polished vibe without feeling stuffy, and the service matched that energy. If you're looking for a spot in K-Town that feels elevated but still comfortable, Oncheon is definitely worth checking out. read more

Hot new Shabu Shabu spot in Koreatown. At the last minute I wanted to take my son here before he flies back to Tucson. We chanced it and did a walk-in but it was all booked. The hostess told us that we could sit at the bar area where we can order other items besides Shabu Shabu. The staff is professional but it was the hostess, Addy, that made the entire dining experience a 10/10 for me. After being seated at the bar, she came over to go over what we could order and suggested a few recommendations. I also enjoyed all the small chats whenever she came by to check on us. Here is what we ordered: - Wagyu Steak Over Rice 와규 스페이크 덮밥 Mistima Wagyu - Su-yuk 수비드 삼겹살 수록 Sous-vide Pork Belly - Wagyu Tartare 와규 육회 Wagyu Beef I ordered the Wagyu rare (the only way one should eat them imo). I love the light smoky flavor and the rice underneath was so savory. My son loved the Wagyu Tartare (+Uni for $20). The nori that came with was more like a thick cracker. It held all the components nicely. Their banchan sets are like little dishes of artwork, traditional but with a modern twist. The waitress took her time describing each one but most of it flew over my head. I was too memorized by the beautiful presentation. The way they marinated some of the items is just next level. On a last note: BEST KIMCHI EVER. Wish they sold them by the jar. read more

Really nice interior, but one of my most memorable things thing that stood out to me about the place was their menu! Opening the menu was as if I'm opening a doorway. Came in for their wellness Korean hot pot. They had unique side dishes - not your typical Korean banchan. It's definitely a sophisticated hot pot experience, I loved the food presentation in the red trays read more

It was a nice and cozy experience. This was the first meal we had after arriving in NY. The place was empty, but it was probably a Wednesday. We ordered the lunch special (beef steak and tteok galbi), which was $27 each set. It was beautifully presented, especially the banchan, it was just art. But the food was so so. It was a bit on the saltier side, and the banchan was traditional with a little fusion twist. Even though it was nicely presented, the food was neither hit nor missed. read more

My best friend and I saw this place on Tiktok and Instagram and it went on our list immediately. It is super aesthetic and we have been wanting to come by for a while. I would recommend making a reservation online because they do get full during dinner time. The details of this place is immaculate - from the moment you come in it feels like you are transported into a Korean spa type restaurant. Even the menus are designed as a door. The bathrooms are super clean and they even use Aseop hand wash!! They are known for their Korean type shabu shabu - if you are a table of two then you get to pick one soup base and they recommend doing two servings of meal box. We had a group of three so we were allowed two soup bases. We went with the Bibimbap appetizer - which looked super pretty and it was fairly tasty. You pretty much DIY your own wrap. For drinks we got the Spring in Korean Palace - which is super refreshing and not too strong in alochol taste which I really liked. My friend and her cousin got Milk Tea Honeycomb Makgeolli and Omija Makgeolli - they both liked the Omija one better as they felt like the honeycomb drink was way too sweet for their liking. For the shabu shabu we got the Signature Doenjang and Spicy curry - HIGHLY recommend the Signature Doenjang soup base, so flavorful and delicious. The spicy curry was just alright. We did not order any extras and it was enough food for all of us. We went with the standard Waygu which was very tender and they had a good option of veggies given in their set. The side dishes were MID for us - we did not find them super special and they were just alright for us. Overall - such a cute place with great food. Highly recommend checking this place out if you have the chance! read more

I'm usually a big fan of hot pot and this is a more upscale version. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant as it felt very zen. All the menu items are quite small, especially for the price. You'd need to order multiple plates per person and even then, I didn't feel full. The food was fresh but you definitely don't get value for the money spent. Also, there's only three different types of broths. We tried all three and they were only so-so. I think their setup is one pot per 3-4 people. If you order one drink, I would say you're looking at an average spend of $100/person. read more

A nice and cozy spot on a cold winter day. The waiter was attentive and explained how to order from the menu. The cocktails were creative, refreshing and delicious. We started off with the kimchi pancake, which came out hot and crispy. We ordered the Shabu Shabu with signature Doenjang soup base, which came with three layers of meal boxes for each person (prime ribeye, beef brisket add-on, vegetables and a variety of banchans). We weren't a big fan of their banchans. We also opted to add the mushroom and fish cake platter as well which were both reasonably portioned. The broth was good sweet and flavorful, but it definitely got salty towards the end. We ended our meal with their green tea tiramisu, which was probably one of the best tiramisus I've had. read more

A new vibey restaurant in Ktown, but there are few things to note here. But please note I came during their first week of grand opening! Ambiance: 5/5. Love the effort they put in to bring a hot spring vibe, with a touch of traditional hanok as well. From the entrance I was already taking my phone out trying to take pictures and videos of the decorations. I especially loved the calming/spa like music in the background. Clean bathroom as well, although the door/lock did not work as well. Food: 4/5. Nothing wow'ed us but they definitely were beautifully plated! Felt like the wagyu tartare did not have enough of the seaweed to eat with everything, and the crispy beef belly fritters were a bit hard to eat because they were very big pieces and not crispy enough to just chew and break off with your teeth. I would recommend cutting them into smaller pieces when eating! I was a bit disappointed at the sauce bar because each of them were so deep but I really had to scrape with the long ladle to my bowl to get some. The selections were also pretty limited but I definitely appreciated the yuzu ponzu being there! We both did the 4 layer soy sauce sukiyaki but did not feel like the extra 4th layer was worth it because they also were just very mid. The beef cream cheese roll was my least favorite because I really had to chew so much and it was just a mouthful of cream cheese.. The overall shabu-shabu was good, as you can't really go wrong with this, and the broth was flavorful and clean! Their only dessert is the green tea tiramisu but there is a lot of matcha powder at the top so make sure to get a good scoop of everything! The tiramisu was a bit dry and wasn't something we would order again. Drinks: We tried all 3 makgeolli cocktails; yuja had the most flavor and was our favorite, the milk tea honeycomb didn't really taste like milk tea but more like caramel? But it definitely tasted better once the honeycomb settled in more! Omija was our least favorite as it didn't have too strong of an omija flavor. As for the oncheon cocktails, we got Spring In Korean Palace and Glow Seoul. To be honest, they looked very pretty but the flavors were just okay. We had to ask for more fruity syrup on the Spring In Korean Palace b/c it barely tasted like anything.. The Glow Seoul just tasted like alcohol + Korean pear. The alcohol taste was pretty strong and it wasn't as refreshing as we thought it would be. Service: 3/5. Need to give some grace since it was both of my server's first time working when I went (they both told us), but there were few things to note here. We originally had a non-korean waitress, who unfortunately was not able to pronounce any of the Korean words correctly. As a Korean myself, it was a bit disappointing when hearing her mispronounce oncheon and doenjang because I felt like those words were pretty significant at this restaurant ): She also wasn't sure how to put the orders in and I looked at the POS system(?) to help her put our orders in, every time. We also didn't like that she kept emphasizing on the most expensive dishes on each page of the menu even though we were showing interest in other things. Also, she only asked us for either tap or sparkling but do know that they also have tap water! We said 'still' and it was charged to our bill later ): Wish she said all three options before we had to choose. Midway we got another waitress serving us, but it seems like they didn't really communicate well because our noodles came a bit late, and 5 seconds later the second waitress brought our noodles and looked confused.. only to bring it back to the kitchen. We also felt like we didn't get the service we needed WHEN we needed them, as we had to adjust the level of the pot boiling ourselves many times. Sometimes we felt like they checked up on us too frequently, or too soon, because they both came to ask us how everything was before we even got a chance to take a bite/sip at what just came out. Their lunch and dinner menus are different so I definitely want to come back during lunch to try their chanbap meal boxes!! Overall, I would give it some time for them to settle and figure things out and come back later, with hopes of a better experience! Wishing the best of luck to this beautiful restaurant~ read more

Took a not-inexpensive cab ride to get to this place for a late dinner. Arrived at 10pm with plenty of time before they closed at 11pm. Door unlocked and restaurant still open (music on, etc) but they turned me away. Said they decided to close early. No apology. Just "we're closed" shouted from the back of the dining room. Will not be back. read more

Tried Oncheon recently and really enjoyed it. The food was flavorful and fresh, but what stood out most was how light it felt -- not overly heavy like some hot pot places. The broths were clean and well-balanced, and even the fried items didn't feel greasy. You leave feeling satisfied, not stuffed. Great spot if you want something comforting but not overwhelming. read more

This is definitely an upscale shabu shabu place. We got the soy sauce soup, and it was kinda salty and got tiring after a while. There were actually not that much vegetables or meat, but I did enjoy their barley variety of the veggies. The sides were meh and the 4th layer was definitely not worth it. Overall, cost is pretty high for fanciness and portion size. However, I really like the vibes and decor of the restaurant. It felt super homey and comfy. Service was also always on top of it. read more

This is my first time trying shabu shabu in New York and it didn't disappoint! We got the wagyu set, and our waitress helped us to set everything up. The meat was tender and I enjoyed the variety of vegetables. We also added udon at the end to soak up the broth. The banchans were very unique but similar to other Yelpers, a lot of the side dishes didn't quite do it for me, some were either too salty, or too acidic. I got their earl grey honey comb makgeolli, which was a fun take on the traditional drink. read more

I've visited this restaurant twice, and both experiences were just okay. I'm not sure I'll be returning anymore. While the ambiance and staff are excellent, food is not mind-blowing and the numerous restrictions and issues with the food made the overall experience feel more inconvenient than enjoyable. When I visited during lunch, only the Wagyu option was available (unlike how their menu says there 3 options, also note those 3 are also not available for dinner, only Wagyu is), which I wasn't informed of until after being seated. At dinner, the strict "one entrée per person" rule and the requirement to order sukiyaki for at least two people made the ordering process unnecessarily complicated. Wagyu box is recommendable out of all of their options... But the Shabu Shabu.. Sukiyaki broth becomes very salty, even after adding water, left me unable to finish the dish. read more

We visited Oncheon on their opening day! We got the Doenjang Signature Shabu Shabu. Honestly felt mixed about my experience -- here are my thoughts: Good: - Portions are really big, each person gets their own portion so we had so much food. We couldn't finish even the half of the noodles given. I highly recommend getting the three level over the four level, we didn't feel like the last optional level added much and it was too much food - Service was great, attentive, and friendly - Ambience was serene, relaxing -- loved the decor and the music! Felt like I was back in Korea at the hot springs - The doenjang broth was really hearty and yummy! But could see how this can only fit specific palettes, it's not spicy or salty at all. Pretty authentic to the Korean shabu shabu experience - The house ponzu was pretty good Bad: - The banchan was honestly the biggest let down. They were definitely pretty, but honestly felt like a lot of dishes (the tofu gang jeong, the nuts) were a bit too sweet and even flavorless (the 묵 dish, don't remember its exact name). We got the four level with additional ban chan and we felt like it wasn't worth it at all. The most disappointing was the beef cream cheese roll, which was just... beef with cream cheese? Did not like that dish at all. Some of the dishes like the nuts or the lychee jelly we did like, but most were a bit underwhelming. - Sauce bowls at the sauce bar is so inconveniently small, and the sauce dip ladles were so small as well. They only had one sauce bar for the entire restaurant so could see it getting crowded Had a good meal, but I'd wait until they sort stuff out! read more

Food tastes really good! We got the basic hotpot platter and the waiter was very informative about vegetarian options. The tofu platter was pricy for what they give but the mushroom platter was a good deal. The honeycomb cocktail was delicious! Also the tofu starter was pretty and tasty. The inside felt classy. Star off for slow service, but otherwise good and would come back. Be prepared for Midtown prices. read more

Nice decoration from the entrance along with the all the way back to the restaurant. Me and my sister got Wagyu over rice, and their signature dwenjang Shabushabu. I like the concept of the layers but it seems like it could be overwhelmed when multiple people over the shabu shabu because each person will have 4 boxes each so imagine if 4 people in the 1 table with 16 individual boxes. I recommend to order different each like us and share together. And one more thing is you have to ask for the dipping sauce like Ponzu or peanut sauce to the waitress ( they won't give you unless you ask for it). It was okay for most of the dishes but nothing too special or highlighted to us. But their server Jamie was super attentive and caring! read more

Really excellent food! Put together with a lot of care, the meal is balanced and generous. They really nailed the portions and proportions - I eat a lot, but when I was done I didn't need another bite. It must have taken some fine-tuning to know the perfect sized slice of pumpkin and half okra - those two were my favorites and I was surprised I wasn't craving more. I'm sure they will raise their prices at some point but for now it's very reasonable for something that could definitely be sold as high-end. Didn't feel pretentious despite being pretty fancy and delicate. Last point is that a few of the banchan are really unique and fun to eat. The kimchi is wrapped up in a cute way; the meatloaf-y galbi/pork cube is extremely tasty; the frozen leechee-ish thing is just the right amount of sweet. Several of the banchan leave you with a light but distinctive, whole natural flavor: fennel frond, yuzu, candied kumquat, celery. I liked that. read more

Very fulfilling meal. Think one would be full without the added extras like glass noodles and fish cake platter, if each one gets one of the sets and some appetizers. Very clean restaurant. Nice attentive customer service. read more

The moment you walk in you feel like you are being transformed to a snow village in the mountains. There literally is a snowy screen at every table. The ambience is on point! Everyone greets you and is super friendly. Quite the experience for shabu- Korean style and fancy. You get a small portion of the preset appetizer and if you want more it's gonna cost you. Everything was additional and of very high quality. Great date night or if you wanna treat. The meats were great. Sadly though if only a party of two you have to align and agree bc there's only one soup base and you must share it. I lost and had to get the sukiyaki based soup- which I normally despise but it wasn't overly sweet so I still enjoyed it. Got a nice rum cocktail- one that was so refreshing and delish that next time I may have one as an appetizer! We ordered an extra side of tofu because we thought we were still hungry but we weren't then we turned out to be extra stuffed. Some watch outs- they bring you a little pint of water: it's not to clean your utensils! It's to pour into the broth when it goes down- I'm glad I asked bc we weren't told. Wear something you can wash because you will smell like it. Shower after your meal otherwise you will be a shabu pot walking around until you do! read more

Oncheon - . - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Ehhh... It felt like a lot of money for what we ate. Maybe that's because the meal was such an odd fusion of modern and traditional. The hotpot itself, for which you're likely to pay upwards of $40 per person plus tax and tip, could not be more traditional. Some of the banchan, by contrast, are so modern as to bear little relation to the rest of the food. Matcha-infused glass noodles served with miniature herbs and a raspberry? Yeah, I always have that with my sukiyaki. The appetizers were good if pricey. The meat was fresh. The service was a wee bit supercilious, despite (or maybe because of?) the fact that we had to ask to receive water and tea. The table felt cramped. Be prepared to pay double or triple what you'd usually shell out for hotpot. Also be prepared to leave without feeling completely full. But if you're just going for the Instagram pics, enjoy - I don't know why you wasted your time reading this! read more

Don't let the yelp reviews scare you they're just haters. The ambience and presentation is INSANE. We got home from the club at 5am the night before and this was the perfect post night meal. I go to to hotpot like every week and I can confidently say this is one of the best hotpots you can get. We loved all the side dishes and how generous they were with their portions. They even gave us the most INSANE matcha dessert on the house for our birthday girl. Would definitely come again. 10/10. Come here. Amazing service. Jessica was our server and is amazing. read more
