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

Made a reservation for an earlier dinner on a Friday night and they start getting busy after 6 so it was nice that we missed out on the initial rush. The server was super nice and patient. He was helpful with the menu as we were choosing what to get. They have a nice variety of drinks and cocktails as well. The food is very standard and the price point is very reasonable for the location. The interior is decorative and really nice, great for pictures. Definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time or the dinner wait time might get a little long. read more

We were able to walk in on a weekday and be seated immediately. The restaurant was not busy and the service was friendly. The interior is clean and the tables are spaced apart. The waitress recommended the yuk-jeon appetizer which is a meat pancake which was good, but not what we were expecting. We both ordered the shabu shabu set and noodles. The food was good, and very aesthetically presented, but on the more expensive side. read more

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

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

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

Beautiful restaurant with beautiful decorations and very spacious. The drinks were delicious my only issue was I went during happy hour and didnt get the happy hour price. I got the honey and yuga Makgeolli both were delicious smooth easy to drink and the perfect sweetness. The food was fresh ,clean and the mushroom broth was revitalizing indeed. I was able to walk in at 330 without a reservation and sat immediately. Service was friendly and attentive just disappointed by the mistake with happy hour since I was over charged $10. 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

We came here for dinner on a Wednesday night after making a reservation for 630 and were seated right away upon arrival. 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

A great, cozy spot for a warm meal! This hot pot spot in K-town offers Korean-inspired hot pot (not a spot that you can often find). The interior of the restaurant is cozy, warm, and very inviting. It's the perfect vibe for a winter day. The service here is pretty good and cozy. We got the doenjang hot pot with their wagyu set and it was delicious. Oncheon also serves you banchan that comes out beautifully displayed and very different than what you might typically see for banchan. Their meat quality was also pretty good! A bit pricier than other hot pot spots but I would definitely be open to coming back! read more

We came in for their shabu-shabu Friday lunch special. We made a reservation ahead of time, but there were a lot of open tables when we walked in around noon. The onsen vibes were relaxing and fun, and even the menu was designed to be like you're opening a traditional onsen door. The shabu-shabu set, however, ended up being a disappointment, especially for the price. I thought that for what you're paying each person would get their own shabu-shabu pot, but each table shared one pot (this was annoying since the set is portioned per person so you had to keep track of which items in the pot were yours). We each got the doenjang broth (this was pretty mild flavored) and the beef. We also paid extra for the premium set of banchan. The banchan was very pretty but extremely tiny and not particularly standout. You don't get much meat - you mostly fill yourself up with with the seasonal vegetables they provide, and the set doesn't even come with a bowl of rice. We ended up ordering kalguksu on the side to supplement our meal ($4 for a small serving). They give you two types of dipping sauces (peanut and yuzu) but I don't like yuzu as a dipping sauce for shabu shabu and my friend was allergic to peanuts so I tried to avoid dipping my chopsticks in the peanut sauce since we shared the same pot. Overall nice vibes, but the flavors were fairly bland and it was expensive for what it is. Would definitely prefer going to a regular hotpot place. read more

This spot is absolutely worth splurging on! Pro tip: if you go during weekday lunch hours, you can save some money on their lunch specials prices. The decor here is beautiful and I am already dreaming of my next visit. They have visuals of onsens and it's all very visually appealing. I wish the seats weren't so close to the door because it was quite cold when the door kept opening. The food however made up for it all. My friend and I opted for several things: Beef Steak Chanhap Meal Box, Signature Doenjang Shabu Shabu, Bulgogi Gujeolpan, and the Matcha Tiramisu. The spread truly was quite a sight. There were so many colors and elements involved in the entire display. I especially loved steak, it was so rich and fatty that I plan to order it again in my next visit. It was delicious eating it with the runny egg yolk. The little banchans on the side were also delicious. I loved that there were so many different flavors to explore. My favorite had to be the yuzu and lychee jelly. Coming in second was this delicious little dish with shrimp and some kelp noodles. I thought these were all so creative. I could envision some sort of set course menu with these in them. The shabu shabu was great and they come back to refill the broth as it slowly boils off liquid. I took my time with it and really got to enjoy all the flavors. I loved my time here and can't wait to return. It's an absolute must! read more

Pretty new hotpot place in K-Town. Saw some friends coming here so had to give it a shot. We made a reservation for a weekend dinner and were seated on entry. Service was friendly and helpful - our table stove wasn't working very well which they helped fix and they also gave us more broth when requested. Food was overall good. We got 4 servings for four people, kimchi jeon, and makgeoli. My favorite was the kimchi jeon (pancakes) which had some nice texture. Definitely can say the highlight is the ambiance. Need to hand it to them - Beautifully designed spot with lots of great little details which admittedly did add to the experience. All in all, worth a try if in the area. read more

Yummm this was a perfect meal for a super cold day! As a shabu shabu lover I had to check out this new place in town. We ordered the 3-layer shabu shabu (signature doenjang soup base), kimchi pancake, and 2 makgeolli cocktails. - Shabu shabu (3 layer, signature doenjang soup): 10/10 (loved the broth, but it did get quite salty by the end so I wish they helped us add more water or soup throughout the meal) - Banchan: 5/10 (kimchi wasn't my style and the Banchan was overall too sweet) - Kimchi pancake: 10/10 (crispy and yummy-- just how I like them to be. Also kudos to the fact that they used 신김치!) - Makgeolli cocktails (yuzu, honeycomb): both were yummy but honestly a bit on the expensive side-- I wish we could order just a bottle of makgeolli instead. Out of the two we ordered, I preferred the yuzu one because it was the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing, but the honeycomb one was good too (I liked how you could adjust the sweetness level of the honeycomb one by mixing in less/more of the honeycomb sauce). read more

The restaurant's decor was nice and relaxing. It reminded me a lot like an onsen. Staffs were extremely friendly. As for the food, I think it was really overpriced for what it was. The spread is really pretty, but it's a lot less than what you would get at a Chinese hotpot place for the same price. The broth was mild and tasty to sip on, but after a while I got palette fatigue especially eating it with the wagyu. There were pickles on the side to help with this, but I wish there was a sauce paired with the set to help with the fattiness of the wagyu. The seafood pancake was good because of the sauce that it came with. The crust was a bit burnt while the center was a bit soggy. It did come with a decent amount of seafood. It was a cool experience to try once, but not worth the price for me to revisit. read more

A lot of variety and very unique. Would definitely come here for the experience and is a really fun place to catch up with friends! read more

Was excited to come here on a cold winter night and so we did. We made day of reservation for 6 people and they had a few availabilities. we all ordered the shabu shabu and the waitress was really nice in explaining how to order from the menu. I think while presentation was nice it was more form over substance. The food was fine and made it difficult to share the different shabu shabu bases we got with a table of 6. Everything was crowded and not very communal. I made my stuff first and others had to wait, but we also didn't get to reach over and try the other flavor. The matcha cake also got birthday girl coughing up a storm. So while presentation and aesthetic were nice, the food was just okay and it was a rather inefficient meal. read more

I've seen Oncheon recommended to me on TikTok and Reels so many times that I had to go try it. Located centrally in K-Town and close to other local favorites, it was convenient go to and easy to find. I went for dinner and ordered the following: - Tofu Pudding Salad - Korean Traditional Shabu-Shabu: Soy Sauce Sukiyaki - Extra toppings: Seafood Platter The tofu pudding salad appetizer came with crunchy edamame beans was actually really good. But honestly, you don't need to order any other dishes if you're getting the Korean shabu-shabu unless you are really hungry. I have not tried the other soup bases yet, but I would recommend the soy sauce sukiyaki. I've always been a big fan of sukiyaki, so it was a safe choice for me. One caveat is that sukiyaki can only be ordered if at least two people are ordering it. The shabu-shabu comes with a set of banchan per person, and I think all 8 of them were creative and delicious. It also came with an adequate amount of meat and vegetables. If you're a fan of seafood, I'd suggest adding the seafood platter--it was incredibly fresh. Overall, the service was a bit slow, but still excellent. The prices are fair, and the decor has a fresh, modern feel. I would definitely return. It deserves the media attention that it is garnering. read more

Oncheon is newly opened by Glow Seoul group! The space is beautiful, as are their other restaurants and cafes. The attention to detail is unmatched. We had the wagyu rice box and a doenjang sukiyaki to share. It comes with soo much food and we couldn't finish it all. The wagyu rice box comes with a lot of rice but the meat and sauce is yummy. The doenjang sukiyaki was very flavorful, but a bit on the saltier side. The highlight of the meal was def the banchan! Everything was so creative and slightly modernized traditional. It reminded me of what you would get at overpriced course-meal restaurants, since it was so pretty and well-presented. The meal was reasonably priced for 2 people, they do have a rule of one entree per person so be sure to come hungry. The lunch prices are also so reasonable, I would love to visit for lunch. Overall, I would recommend! Perfect for this weather. read more

If you're into clean, nourishing flavors and subtle broth-based meals, Oncheon in Koreatown might be your spot. What sets this place apart is its miso-based broth--a rare twist for shabu shabu--which brings a soft umami depth without overpowering the natural taste of the ingredients. I went for the wagyu, and it didn't disappoint--melts-in-your-mouth tender, just as you'd hope. The vibe is calm, the interior is neat and cozy, and the service? Excellent. The staff took time to explain everything, and the drinks (non-alcoholic options included) were refreshing and matched the overall clean feel of the meal. Overall, everything leaned on the bland side, but I mean that in the best way possible. It's the kind of meal that feels healthy and well-balanced. If you're the type who needs more salt, spice, or punch, just let the waitress know ahead--they're happy to adjust. For me, the natural, almost meditative taste was exactly what I wanted. read more

Food - very clean and delicious dining. The shabu shabu broth was comforting and tasty without being heavy. The ingredients, including the melt in your mouth wagyu, tasted great after cooking easily in the broth. The beef tartar was also a great dish to add-on for a special experience.

This is really a 3.5, rounding up to a 4 as it's their opening night. I really wanted to love Oncheon - it had all the makings of a great experience. Kind, personable service, a refined setting and a cute theme, but unfortunately in my experience the food was nothing mind blowing. Though I appreciated the upscale atmosphere and soothing music, there were a few faults in the experience. The bowls for sauce were comedically small, which though aesthetic made them very hard to use. The layer system for the meal was a cool concept, but ultimately became inconvenient due to a lack of table space, which led to us having to play a mini tower of Hanoi game each time we wanted to access a different layer. The food itself was good, but nothing special. I ordered the 4-layer Doenjang (would recommend getting the 3-layer instead) and left very full. There's a good balance of meat and vegetables with a huge amount of noodles at the end of the meal. The banchan was a tad sweet for my taste (perhaps appealing more to a Korean palate). I thought the lychee jelly was delightful, though not sure it alone is worth the fourth layer. Im not sure if I'd come again at the price point, but Oncheon was definitely worth checking out. read more

Loved my wintery date night at Oncheon -- really cozy atmosphere with excellent meal and service! Upon entry, we were greeted with a warm smile by the hostess. Shabu shabu is perfect for the cold winter months, and the Korean inspired banchans were really innovative, delicious and colorful. All the ingredients from meats, vegetables, broth and even dessert were high quality and fresh. For an entire set that includes broth, meats, 8 banchans, and assorted vegetables, I felt like the price was pretty good at $45pp. Additionally, the staff were so attentive and prompt in clearing our table as we ate. They even included a matcha tiramisu on the house, which was so sweet. Would 100% come back again with family and friends! read more

Oncheon has been open for 6 months now and I will never remember how I found out about it but they got my attention from the first look. First of all, the restaurant is themed like an upscale onsen and really attracts your eye at every corner. As I was sitting down you can see bystanders or people passing by who would look upon its entrance in curiosity and few of them walking in to ask about this mysterious place. The design of the restaurant is very sleek and new with a great music playlist and a beautiful sight at every corner along with the screens on the walls showing beautiful depictions of nature.The staff were all nice and very professional. They start you out with a warm towel to wipe your hands and pour you a nice cup of hot tea in a solid black ceramic tea cup. I wanted to get the shabu shabu however I was in a hurry because of my train so I decided on the rice wagyu box which looked amazing. It came out in about 10 mins or so and my god it was a site to see. The chanhap meal box was similar to a bento box with 3 layers. One for the rice and wagyu beef and the other two for the interesting banchans included.The meat was juicy and delicious with the bed of rice and mushrooms and the egg. From the banchan my two favorites for sure were the lotus root and Yuzu lychee jelly. The lotus root flavor was so interesting it almost tasted meaty or seafoody but I couldn't match exactly what it was but I loved it. The jelly was supposed to be a cleanser or dessert and I just loved that it was icey too. It had just a nice soupy but a baby crunch texture to it. Special mention for the anchovies mixed with the rice and beef as well. Beware your breath will smell strong after but totally worth it. It felt a bit pricey but my thing is I got wagyu which is always going to be pricier and it's an elevated level of service and experience that they are giving which is something you won't find at most restaurants. If I go again, I really still want to try their cocktails and their green tea tiramisu looks heavenly. It's very apparent with how the restaurant, menu and food looks, a lot of effort and dedication was put into this place. I also got to meet the management and the gentleman was so nice! Got to talking about him being in New York for 12 years before living in Boston. It was a wonderful way to finish my trip in New york.

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

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

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
