" Had a great experience at Onsen! The space is beautifully decorated and has a great vibe. The food was delicious and creative, although I wish the portions were a little bit bigger. The wait staff was very polite and efficient, making our evening very enjoyable. The only drawback was that it got quite noisy at times, which disturbs the relaxing atmosphere. Overall, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates authentic Japanese accents in their meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" Onsen was a pleasant surprise! I've never been to a bathhouse before and was curious. The small hot tub area and steam room were lovely. Afterward, my friends and I hit the restaurant, and wow—the flavors were striking and well prepared. However, I felt it was a bit on the pricey side considering how little food we received. Each dish was inventive, yet I could see some diners wanting for more on their plates. If you're looking for a social dining atmosphere with a twist, I'd recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Onsen last weekend for a little self-care. The bath was very well designed and a lovely escape. The restaurant was a nice touch but the dishes were very small, and I ended up feeling slightly unsatisfied even though the taste was on point. The ambiance throughout both areas was captivating. The wait staff were amazing and helped enhance the experience. I would recommend Onsen for relaxation, but eat beforehand. " (*Curated Review*)

" Before my visit to Onsen, I hadn’t experienced an onsen-style bathhouse. It was a different kind of relaxation that I thoroughly enjoyed! However, the restaurant experience fell short. I tried several dishes, but their portions were very small. The ambiance was lovely, but I felt the prices didn’t match what I received. I do appreciate the creativity behind the dishes, and the staff was wonderfully accommodating. I would come back for the bath but will eat elsewhere next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Onsen, given all the buzz. The bathhouse experience was lovely and cozy, providing an intimate atmosphere. The culinary offerings, while creative, did not meet my expectations based on the reputation. I found the portioning to be on the smaller side; while the dishes were well prepared, I was still hungry after. It's a solid spot worth checking out, but go armed with an appetite!

" After hearing a lot about Onsen, I finally made it for a visit and it did not disappoint. The decor is visually stunning, and the vibe is calming. However, I would encourage diners to come prepared as the portion sizes don’t match the premium pricing. Some dishes provided a rich burst of flavors but left me wanting more. I appreciated the attention to detail in service; they truly care about guests having a memorable experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Onsen is a gem in the Tenderloin! The ambiance is stunning, and the service is friendly. I was impressed by the quality of food, particularly the matcha desserts they offered. It was such a delicious treat! I recommend going during off-peak hours if you're looking for a more peaceful bath experience. The portions are a bit small, so come with a group and share dishes. Overall suitable for a fun date or a nice outing with friends. I’ll return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
