Halmae Bossam

We got the complete table special combo set menu where you get to selection a dish from each category of dishes. The bossam (Napa wraps with pork) and pan-fried mackerel were both very good - would definitely order again. The spicy codfish hot pot was not spicy and not salty enough so it tasted watered down. The steamed tofu and egg were decent but nothing special. There were only three tables in the restaurant but the service was still not good. The waitress forgot about our rice and brought it when we were halfway done our meal and repeatedly forgot the water we asked for. When we wanted to ask for the cheque we had to wait a while to get the waitress’s attention as well.

My friend and I wanted to check it out thinking it was korean BBQ. It was a pleasant surprise to find out it was a hot pot place. Will definitely come back in the winter.

It’s been about 2 years since I’ve been here…seems there was an ownership change since the food was different and decor updated. For me this was between a 3 and 4 star. Food taste wise, I would give it a 3 because the pork back stew was bland. This used to be their specialty and so flavourful. But now it was bland and watery. The boiled pork belly was also a bit bland. The extra star to give it a 4 star was the value. We got a set menu for $65 and so much food for 4 people.
