In short
Oneul-ui Tokyo Oncheonjang is a skewer-focused izakaya right next to Oncheonjang Station in Dongnae, Busan. On a weekday evening at a table seat, oden nabe (fish cake hot pot) with added udon noodles, potato karaage, draft beer and a highball came to about 50,000 won, and the hot pot with udon was filling enough to count as dinner.

Today is another one of those days when I just need something delicious!!!
Maybe it's the fall weather, but my appetite has been going crazy lately... ㅠㅠ Come evening I just want to slurp something good!! Couldn't resist, so off I went on a weekday adventure hahaha
There are surprisingly a lot of hidden gems in Oncheonjang, you know?? It's quiet with a lot of loyal regulars, and I really like that about the neighborhood ♥ So off I went~~~ to Oneul-ui Tokyo Oncheonjang!
Where is Oneul-ui Tokyo Oncheonjang? Right beside Oncheonjang Station
Oneul-ui Tokyo Oncheonjang is at 106-1 Oncheonjang-ro, Dongnae-gu, Busan — if you come from Oncheonjang Station toward the apartment complex side, the entrance is right there in view. Being right next to the subway station is amazing!!!
The vibe is no joke, right?? I'd been passing by for ages thinking I really need to go here, and today was finally the day!!!
Once you spot this train and the statue, that's right in front of Oneul-ui Tokyo!! The vibe is just insane~~~ I basically went for an opening rush but I wasn't even first — people were already packed in~~ what is happening~~~
That's the sign of a real hit spot~~~ Turns out I wasn't the only one who felt the vibe at Oneul-ui Tokyo!!!
Table seats, counter seats and the 20,000-won first-order minimum
Oneul-ui Tokyo Oncheonjang has both table seats and counter (dachi) seats, and you can also reserve through Naver. Today I went for a table seat instead of the counter~~~ Oh!!! It was really quiet, clean and cozy, so nice~~~
Sit at the table and enjoy the view outside the window for a bit!!! Basic setup gets ready~~ and you can order easily on the tablet~~
★ Your first order needs to be at least ₩20,000 including drinks~~~ I mean, since skewers are only ₩3,000-something, surely nobody's ordering one skewer with one bottle of soju right??? haha The minimum order of ₩20,000+ is a must!!!
What we ordered at Oneul-ui Tokyo, and what it cost
Skewers are the main thing at Oneul-ui Tokyo!! So I decided to go for a hot dish and fried food instead~~ hahahaha I mean, the skewers will obviously be good without even trying!!! Right now I need something hot!!! I'll probably add more later anyway~~~
- Draft beer
- Highball
- Potato karaage x1
- Oden nabe x1
All that variety and it only came to ₩50,000~ Really good value!!!
The 7,900-won highball and the first draft beer
After the basic cabbage and side plates are set!! The drinks come out first~~~ Ahh... after such a tiring day, push down the stress with cold draft beer and a highball~ soak yourself in it~~~ let's drink~~~~
It was so refreshing I almost chugged it in one go but barely held back hahahaha The highball wasn't too bitter either, a nice balanced booze flavor with sweetness!!! That big glass is only ₩7,900, so if you go to Oneul-ui Tokyo, you have to get the highball~~
Oden nabe at Oneul-ui Tokyo: adding udon noodles is a must
After enjoying the view outside!!! Here comes today's main dish!!!
You know I really love oden (fish cake)~~~ but the oden nabe (fish cake hot pot) at Oneul-ui Tokyo is not just your regular fish cake soup~~
There's bean sprouts in it and a rich broth! And the clean stock with the fish cake is legit!!! The fish cake packed with fish meat just melts in your mouth~~~~ the visual is seriously incredible too~~~
The ingredients were really substantial~~~ the magic of the contents disappearing in a flash!! It was so good it was just there and then... gone.... seriously so good~~~ So I immediately ordered udon noodles to add!! You absolutely have to get the udon noodles~~~
They boil the noodles separately and pour them in with the broth like this!! Boil it up nicely and enjoy~~~~ Oneul-ui Tokyo even doubles as a meal~~ it's really hot and delicious~~~
You have to order the oden nabe no matter what!!! A must!!! At ₩20,000-something, there's no reason not to order it given the composition and taste!!!
Once you scrape up the last of the ingredients!!! You need to order soju for this broth!!! Add a soju~~~~
Potato karaage, good enough to order twice
And then potato karaage!! Made with chicken thigh meat, it's soft, crispy, and savory — fried potato and fried chicken plus tartar sauce, a menu everyone loves regardless of gender or age! For barely over ₩10,000 it's seriously delicious~~~ The sauce especially hits just right!!!
hahahaha it disappeared right away so I ordered one more!!! It's a potato karaage hotspot!! I'm the type who orders two of the same menu item~~~ so good!!!
It showed up again but disappeared again~~~~
Finishing with two signature skewers
hahaha but the food was so good I kept ordering more drinks, and then kept ordering more drinks so I ran out of food~~~ So I got their signature skewers!!!
- Chicken skin skewer (spicy) x1
- Chicken heart skewer x1
Ordered them too, hahaha the ordering never ends~~~
The visuals are really something, right??? Two neatly grilled skewers to finish it off — I went in thinking I'd keep it simple, and ended up eating all the good stuff and feeling like I spent a fortune!! hahahaha
Great food, great vibes izakaya in Oncheonjang, Oneul-ui Tokyo — you have to visit during the holiday season!!!
