As a regular at Halmae Bossam, I can confidently say it’s one of my favorite spots for authentic Korean cuisine. The bossam is outstanding, always tender and flavorful. We love the set menu options and individual dishes.
What keeps me coming back is not just the food, but also the simple and home-like atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, making each visit special. The banchan is always a highlight, with a fantastic variety of flavors that complement the main dishes beautifully.
The portions are excellent, offering great value for the price. Halmae Bossam never disappoints. If you're looking for a taste of authentic Korean food, this place is definitely a must-visit!
They are starting KOREAN BBQ, and the price is good and the meat is good too !!

It seems like the owner has changed. Everything has changed except for the hardware. It doesn't really matter when the original experience (taste, service, etc) remains the same but it wasn't the case for Halmae Bossam. Food has become bland, service has became slow (it was such a LONG wait even to get some water) and most importantly, foods didn't look and taste fresh. My table had the set menu including Bossam, and everyone from my table agreed that the meat was cooked at least the day before; it was different from what other tables who ordered only the Bossam were served. The Bossam we had were sliced too thick, tough to chew, and the color didn't look made-to-cook. It's only our speculation but from people who cook Bossam quite frequently at home. Will never go back again. Sad to let the old Halmae Bossam go.

I often come to this restaurant for dinner. It takes about 40 mins one way but it’s worth it. Super friendly owner and staff!

Most authentic Korean food in the NW suburbs. Highly recommend! Just note that it’s best to call in advance to order (not via google maps) as their menu changes depend on supply chain issues.

I went there based on a restaurant recommendation, but overall the food was bland. Bossam radish salad was disappointing.
The food was good, but the service and atmosphere were really bad.

This place was so good! And the lady that helped us was SO sweet. Even though she didn’t speak a lot of English, she was still able to communicate easily to us. Skills! Not once did I see her stop working. If she’s not servicing clients, she’s cleaning.We got the Ox soup and fried fish. 10/10Very calm environment. The ceiling is cute.
