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

Excellent food and presentation of dishes, ambiance was well-established. Would definitely recommend this place!

Server was attentive and the sukiyaki is great! Rice and side dishes are complimentary and the pumpkin side dish was amazing

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

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

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

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

Terrific (shabu-shabu) hot pot, excellent service, and very cute interior. The food quality is excellent, and my tummy always feels great after eating here. 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

The ambience was so cozy and nice! Service was top notch - our waiter kept making sure we were enjoying our food and if we ever needed anything. The food portion was huge! We ordered 2 sets of the lunch special and were super full at the end. Price and quality makes this place so worth it. Make reservations because they get booked out read more

Was super excited to try this place but unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. The good: - ambiance of the restaurant is amazing - food quality is good - good drinks - creative drinks and banchan The bad: - I was disappointed the most by the service: they dropped my chopsticks and forgot to bring me new ones until I asked again, they never brought replacement banchan for someone in my party who's allergic to shrimp, we kept having to ask for tea and broth refills, and overall felt that they could've checked on our table more. For a restaurant that seems to position itself as a nicer dining experience, I expected better service - the broth was fine at first but got increasingly salty as the meal went on. I assume the refills kept making it saltier and saltier. Typically I see places refill with water or some diluted version of the broth because as it boils the salt gets left behind but it looked like they were refilling with the same broth - matcha tiramisu was good but the layer of matcha was way too thick on top read more

Loved the food and decor here.

I visited this place several times since their opening. This time I went to lunch again and they changed their lunch menu. Personally I think it's a better menu with more choices. Love this place. Will be back again! Service is good read more

This review might change but here is my opinion. So first time going there, we had a party of 3 for reservations. Always good to mention if you have any food allergies. The menu is quite confusing so we had to have our server explain to us how it worked. We ordered the Wagyu steak over rice and the soy sauce Sukiyaki which stated it is for 2 person. Our server (who has been lovely thus far), mentioned we charge per person but what made me a little off about this is that after we get our food we got our check and we got charged twice. I understand it's $45 per person but on the menu it says up to 2 people. It makes me think for up to 2 people you will get charged once but if we order something else in that shabu shabu section we will get charged another. That doesn't seem to be the case. I think the menu needs to be more clearer and concise because that's too confusing. Not only was our hot tea was in a small cup but regular water which is called "still water" was $5 or if you want sparkling water. For the price we pay for our entire food and service that's insulting. Therefore we opted for sodas instead. I'm not exactly sure what kind of a direction this place is going for but if it's going to be like this from now on I'd rather go somewhere else. Great service and great decor. Friendly and great presentation but unfortunately the lack of other types of food in their menu was lacking and prices was not too great. I will still let other people know about this restaurant to try to firsthand experience it. Perhaps their experience will be different. read more

Loved the ambiance and the food here. The restaurant is decorated in the style of a hot springs / spa - the atmosphere is relaxing and a nice contract to the business of ktown and tables are spacious. 3 of us each ordered the 4 layer box. Two of us split the sukiyaki broth and one of us got the doenjang broth. The top 2 layers consistent of 4 types of banchan each, and the bottom 2 layers consist of around 4oz of meat along with an ample serving of various vegetables. My favorite small dishes were the yuzu & lychee jelly (kind of like an sorbet, so save this until after the meal) and the kimchi wrapped bossam. We found the doenjang to be a bit too light initially, but arrived at a good saltiness as it boiled down. All three of us enjoyed the sukiyaki broth more with its signature sweetness complementing the light flavors of the unseasoned meats and vegetables. The portion sizes also felt just right - I left very comfortable both in terms of fullness and feeling healthy after the meal. We also got a the milk tea magkeolli cocktail which was fantastic. read more

Super delicious and great service!! The environment is really clean and the portions are perfect

So happy I stumbled into this cute restaurant! Food was so good, but just as important, service from Hailey was amazing! Must try!

Oncheon was such a vibe! The food was amazing -- especially their kimchi pancake, I legit ordered three . The service was super friendly and helpful, and the ambience felt like a spa. Nothing better than some heartwarming soup when the weather starts getting chilly -- shabu always hits the spot for me. The food quality was top tier. Definitely coming back! You won't be disappointed! read more

Food and service were overall great! The server was especially nice and would definitely come back!

After a friend recommendation, we took our niece for her birthday, but we were terribly terribly disappointed. Very mediocre service, but what was more disappointing was the quality of the food. The sukiyaki was sweet very little vegetables or noodles or anything else, including the meat the same result for the shabu shabu and the starting kimchi. It was terrible also. I've been eating Korean food since Koreatown opened up in New York and never had such a disappointing meal which wound up costing us close to $400 for four of us. I don't understand how people write this place so highly it amazes me unless the owners are riding their own review. read more

Service was great, from the hostess to the waitress to the person pouring the tea. Waitress was kind to explain what each banchan was and hostess offered specially prepared sauces for the shabu shabu my friends had. I ordered the wagyu chanhap. Food presentation was aesthetically pleasing. I enjoyed some of the banchan more than others but overall good. I especially liked the lychee with yuzu. Taste was pleasantly cool and refreshing. We shared a matcha tiramisu that was not too sweet and not too heavy. read more

Great spot. The soup was very flavorful. The side dishes are fresh and the beef wagyu as well

A few months ago my card didn't work and I ate at this restaurant when I didn't know. I ended up paying the bill. Forward to today I went here again this time I was told to pay the bill upfront which I understand. I requested a staff to bring out a plate of beef for my puppy. The Server didn't say anything didn't even mention it was extra. At the end of the meal I asked server for dessert which I got. I left the restaurant and one of the manager told me I forgot to pay. I told her that the beef was complementary. She didn't believe me and made me pay for dessert and the beef. When she gave me the bill she also mentioned about the bill that was 7-8 months ago that I didn't leave a tip. Keep in mind I was holding over $1000. She had the audacity to ask me for a tip that was for a bill months ago that was already settled. This was a very unprofessional. read more

Enjoyed the vibe there, but the soup base is literally water with doenjang. Very bland. You can get a $5 doenjang at Hmart on the same block to make your own. It costed 2 of us $120 in total for very small amount of food. Don't recommend anyone go to this spot. A money grabber for real read more

When we came in, we were sat immediately. the food was delicious and the staff was great, super attentive and nice!

Gorgeous interiors were a pleasure for all the senses. Service was impeccable. Presentation was outstanding. Had bugogi lunch box. Price was very reasonable for the quality of the food. Really, just a series of works of art: performance art, design, culinary prowess. Drop everything and go. I can't wait to take my wife. read more
