So glad we finally tried Jameh Bossam! The best bossam I've had so far around the Yonge Sheppard area. The pork was soft, tender, and very well spiced. Each slice was flavourful and goes well with the kimchi and lettuce! We also ordered the budae jigae (army stew) to share and it was just alright. Very basic and has your usual toppings like tofu, spam, sausage, and mushrooms. Overall, get the largest portion of bossam at this restaurant and there will be no regrets :) read more

I came here simply because the atmosphere seemed pretty cool and dim, looking for something different in the Yonge/Sheppard area. I wasn't disappointed with authentic Korean food. I tried their Half and Half - Bossam and Pork Hock. Maybe not the best choice since it didn't seem like the highest quality meat. I had this in Korea before, but there isn't much flavour. You can taste spice and that's about it. Some of the lettuce and cabbage didn't seem like the freshest. The portion said it's for three people, but I felt like it was more for two, max 2.5. Appetizers were good. read more

I dined at Jameh Bossam yesterday and had a very disappointing experience. During our meal, the waiter accidentally spilled a Bundae hot pot all over my pants, burned my legs. The waiter DID NOT APOLOGIZE or offer anything initially. I had to ask for compensation. After that, he only offered us a free drink (which was just a Nestea). After negotiation, he deducted $100 from our bill (originally $131) and promised to cover the cleaning fee for my pants. However, when I sent the cleaning receipt today, the waiter started circling around the issue, asked me to return the difference from the $100 deduction and refused to pay for the cleaning fee, as he had initially promised. I understand mistakes happen, but it's frustrating when the staff doesn't follow through on promises. I expected better service recovery and professionalism, especially after such an uncomfortable incident. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and ensures customers are treated fairly in the future. read more

My fav bossam place. Usually get the medium or large size steamed bossam. The meat is sooooo tender, and I love the side dishes. More variety then most korean places. But love coming to this place with friends, especially to have a good time with good food! read more

Great place for dinner and drinks. The bossam has a great texture and the side dishes are really good! We ordered a medium bossam and seafood pancake for the two of us and we were super full after. read more

One of my best friends brought me here, definitely a hidden gem. If you know what to get it will be a truly great experience. I like the ambiance nice and cozy. The pork belly was amazing! And one of the rare spots that had Makguli! The staff we're very welcoming and friendly. read more

I'm Korean and one my favourite Korean dishes would have to be Bossam. Bossam is steamed pork belly with sides of cabbage, a bean paste, and shredded cabbage Kimchi. I've been all over Toronto for the search of a delicious bossam and I think I have found the one! My fiancé and I came on a Wednesday night and ordered a medium bossam and budae jigae. Buda jigae is a large spicy pot over a butane stove that has noodles, spam, sausage, tofu, veggies, and pork. This spicy pot is so good for those cold Toronto nights and Jameh Bossam killed it with authentic flavour and generous portions. The bossam was steamed to perfection and almost melted in your mouth. I guess one downside was the small amount of the bossam kimchi, but I'm sure you could ask for some more. The atmosphere was nothing special, it's very casual. Our waitress was really nice and attentive as well! Will definitely be back here. read more

We ordered the Half & Half which consisted of pork hock and bossam (sliced pork belly). It was served atop a bed of lettuce with kimchi, jalapenos, and garlic slices. We also ordered some rice on the side to accompany the meats. They brought out several small plates of banchan which I always loved eating. Among the side dishes I loved the fried tofu the most. It was still hot and the skin was so crispy. The meat could be enjoyed as a lettuce wrap dipped in the sauce they provided or simply with some rice. It was a really delicious dish that could somehow be seen as the healthier option to Korean BBQ (my logic: boiled meat is healthier). Service here was great as the server was really nice and gave us refills on our banchan. I did find it quite difficult to talk with my friend since the music started getting really loud as the evening went on. read more

4 stars for the rice cakes :D Recommended by a friend, I decided to try this place on a Friday night with my boyfriend. Around 6pm it was pretty empty but shortly after, it got busy and the restaurant was filled. Menu was not posted online so I took a couple of photos (Check out the photos). We decided on ordering the Cheesy Spicy Rice Cakes (15.99$) and the Pork Hock (M) (17.99$). Loved the rice cakes! It was just the right amount of spice and the rice cakes were cooked perfectly. This has to be one of the best spicy rice cakes I've had in awhile. Pork Hock (M), I've never tried before but we decided to try it out. The ingredients were fresh and the romaine lettuce was crisp/fresh as well. It was tasty and I especially loved the combination of the garlic and jalapeño peppers. Overall, price wise I think it's more expensive than a typical Korean restaurant but it's worth it. Service is average and when it gets busy it's hard to get their attention. Beer selection is limited for draft but they have a decent choice of beer in bottles. I would come back and try out the other dishes as they had a variety of food to choose from. read more

We got the boiled bossam with couple bottles of soju probably the best bossam I had in toronto read more

Jameh Bossam - bossam - Korean Near Me - North York, Ontario

It took quite a long time for our server to ask for our orders; I had to actually approach them first. After that minor issue, the service and food was great. We had a party of 8 and ordered plenty of food and alcohol. I definitely recommend the spicy jokbal (pork hock) alongside the cheese tteokboki. read more

Great speak easy atmosphere. Servers are a little slow but at least they are attentive and friendly. Food is great for sharing with a bottle of soju read more

My friend and I ordered half & half of their signature pork hock and bossam boiled pork. The dish came on top of a bed of lettuce, along with jalapenos, kimchi, and garlic slices. There were also five banchans, including rolled eggs, honey glazed potatoes, and seasoned bok choy. We added an apple soju afterwards to pair with the meat as well. The pork hock was alright; it had a firm crisp texture rather than a soft gelatinous one and the marinade did not particularly stand out. I preferred the bossam a lot more, as the boiled pork was more tender & flavorful than the pork hock. It also went well with the dipping sauce and I liked wrapping it in a lettuce with all the other sides. Apparently there's no refill for banchans, but we had no problem getting another round when we asked. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back for their bossam; not the best I've had but done well enough as an anju w/ soju. 3.5 stars. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem located near Yonge and Sheppard. Such a great environment and different from what I am normally used to when it comes to Korean restaurants. The bossam is delicious! the pork belly isn't dry at all and it isnt fatty. This is served with lettuce, garlic, onion, kimchi, jalapeno peppers and sauce. If you need more of the ingredients, you can ask for more without extra charge. I really liked the budae hotpot but I might be bias because I love HOTPOT. This comes with instant noodles, spam (mmmm), enoki mushroom, sausage, and more but I cant remember everything in it right now. I tried the seafood pancake and it was just mediocre. It comes in a very large portion so if you have a lot of food already, I wouldn't recommend. I would probably just opt out of this regardless, it isn't anything special. They have a good variety of beer, sake and soju. The banana soju was AMAZING. I will order this every time i visit. Although, I tend to really like banana flavored stuff. It also comes in a peach flavor that is a good too. Bad part? it is only 4% alcohol haha This place a little pricier than your typical Korean restaurant but I would still recommend this place for a casual night out! read more

Jameh Bossam - Medium Pork bossam - Korean Near Me - North York, Ontario

Bossam here is off the hook. Came back for bossam again but this time tried combo B, which includes small Bossam, small pork hock, hotpot, seafood pancake, pork sizzle and bottle soju for $84. Amazing deal ! We were 5 and also got an additional soju for $17, so the total bill including tax/tip came to $130 , so $26 per person was very good value! The side dishes were soooooo good, top quality- chapjae so tasty, special fresh kimchi, green bean salad and flavored peanuts - that we kept getting more refills but at some point at asking for another refill the server told us he had to put a stop to it because u cant actuall get refills on the sides, he just did itfor us the first couple times to be nice. Oops hehe . Otherwise they are one of the highedt quality korean sides ive had. Too bad they dont do free refills, i have resentment for that cuz how cheap is that! But the 5 stars is mainly for the bossam and overall value. Dont come here for anything other than bossam tho, either bossam alone or the combo if u have big group. Hotpot is mediocre, pork hock is meh, seafood pancake is delish, pork sizzle pretty good, and the sides are incredible. I like that the place is hole in the wall as well. read more

Went there on a random weekday night, and the place was empty. The food was mediocre. Took 20 mins for the server to take our order (restaurant was practically empty), had to ask a few times for water. I wouldn't go out of the way to go there. The beef was tender but a bit greasy, the seafood pancake was ok. read more

Jameh Bossam is delicious! It's a bit on the costly side but it's so so good! The servers aren't very attentive but they are helpful and nice once you get their attention. Their spicy dishes are a bit too spicy for my liking but I love the bossam . We tend to always get combo A or B & it comes with army soup & delicious seafood pancake. Bonus: they now have grape flavoured soju! It tastes like candy heaven. *caution* doesn't taste like alcohol & can be dangerous haha! read more

Jameh is the newest Korean drinking spot in North York. It is basically a sojubang / pork belly restaurant. If you are looking for a party atmosphere with nice lighting and lots of noise, this is the place. Eating here made me feel as though I was transported to Sinsa-dong. :-) read more

Came here for a Saturday hangout spot to celebrate with some friends. We were a table of 4 and ordered combo b which consisted of half and half pork belly and pork hock bossam, hot pot, seafood pancake, spicy pork sizzle and the option of a bottle of soju or 4 domestic beers for $89. If you're someone that's more sensitive to spice you can alter the level of spicy-ness when placing your order. Everything was delicious and really good in portion. We all thoroughly enjoyed the environment the food and service. The waitresses were busy but very attentive and sweet! We asked for refills on the banchans/Korean sides, Napa, garlic, spicy sauce and they were always happy to provide refills. My friends all thought the experience was great and the food was really great value. My boyfriend isn't a fan of Korean food but he absolutely loved it and is willing to expand his horizon!! Next time we come back we'd order the pork belly over the pork hock. read more

As a Korean, I try to support my people's restaurants as much as I can. After tonight's experience, I do think it's important that management realize their wait staff needs some sort of training. Our table enjoyed our time until we got a sense that we were no longer welcome to stay at the joint anymore -if you want the details, please feel free to reach out to me. No further explanation required. Still spent over $170 on alcohol (not even including our food order) with 4 people in less than 3 hours. If you are visiting on a Friday night, you may have the same experience. I'm normally a yelp reviewer but decided to leave one here as well so all of the Korean personnel know what to expect when they walk in the door. read more

Hidden little gem on spring garden! Was bat hopping with some friends and hopped from finch to shepherd.. Decided to walk into this street and this was the only place open.. But the place was packed with lots of ppl having fun! Lots of cute single Korean girls too! Beer menu was great!! Even had local brewer beers and sake and soju on the menu.. We didn't have any food, but the place smelled great! Would definitely come back for dinner next week! Already made plans with the waitress.. All the staff were really friendly and we are not Korean. read more

this is my favorite korean restaurant. the food and atmosphere is AMAZING. more like a bar kind of restaurant so it's loud and chatty but it makes a good vibe. a little expensive but i definitely know many more expensive ones. food 100/10. portions are pretty big too! service is ok, a little slow but friendly. overall great restaurant totally recommend. read more

Poor, The worst store ever!!!! Awful customer service. Me and my friend were waiting 2and half hour they made mistakes about customers number list. ), and we didn't get enough feedback! the waiters just looking at us and didn't much give enough service !! to laugh music. so I can't communicate with friends and waiters. food was alright, but that means is 'good' or 'delicious'! worst experience ever. never go back in here! anymore! we are so disappointed. and I cannot recommend here forever. If i can give ' - 0 stars' i would like to do. !!!!!!!! you have to be shame. read more

I just went there yesterday with couple of my friends and experienced awful service ever. I am not usually type of person who make a review, but this time i feel like i really have to. The servers don't give a shit to customers and they are soooooo rude!!!!!!! I really don't understand why this restaurant is always full of ppl every night. I am not ganna come back here anymore. read more

had amazing half and half pork bossam & jokbal .. it was so good and satisfying. we had kimchi chigae along with bossam and it was to die for... their banchans were tasty too .. read more

Food was decent. Just way overpriced for what you get. Decorated like its trying to be hip. Older people needed to use the flashlight app to see the menu as the coolness of the venue interferes light bulbs being fully lit . For some reason the lights would occasionally dim and become brighter and back and forth at random times. Super annoying. read more

I just ordered their food by phone call, I must say can they change another telephone operator who can speak better English? I think my oral sounds is pretty well but it was so complicated to speak with that women, oh my god she drived me crazy. I admit they make delicious food, however when u talk to their servers, Jesus, u will see. read more

Love the place, they are known for their bossam and it does live up to the standard. I always have to ask for more lettuce and sauce because they go so well with the steamed pork belly. I do prefer the pork belly than the pork hoc because pork hoc is already marinated and i dont think it goes well with the dipping sauce. But it still tastes amazing by itself. Side dishes here are a plus but i believe they don't do refill. Besides bossam, their kimchi jjigae is freakin good. Broth is not watery, their kimchi is brined enough so it feels like they put cheese inside the soup which they don't. Because it has that fermented/aged taste. Atmosphere is nice, warm cozy with dim yellow lights, perfect for drinks as well. On a pricier side for the portion but i love to have good meal so i don't mind coming back. read more

This place is super busy. It's quite a shame me being Korean and all. I'm quite convinced that the owner of this establishment limits their staff for how many refills of side dishes can be served. The main dish bossam comes with some pickled cabbage. The pork to cabbage ratio does not consist of a great experience. Had to ask 3 times for a cabbage. Observed the staff, they're more than capable, I can only conclude that the ownership has limited the typical Korean expectations of refills of side dishes. I've been very encouraged by recent investments that have been unprecedented in Korean restaurants, but the short changing of service representing my culture has been a disappointing at this establishment. I'm personally very sad, we've come so far but just an arms length short. read more

Food - 3.5/5 Service - 2/5 They specialize in Pork Belly. Pretty good but expensive for what you get. The 4 of us shared the $80 combo and I personally was not full compared to something I've had similar in price at other Korean establishments. Decor is nice - very dark but goes with the theme and atmosphere. Service was slow and had to ask for the same things multiple times. They also do not serve unlimited banchan (side dishes). They made an exception to refill us once and it was only for 2 of the side dishes. Never have I experienced a Korean restaurant that was so tight about this. The waitress did say that she wished she could give us more but isn't allowed. Korean restaurants are known for unlimited banchan and their generosity like complimentary dishes on the house so we thought it was weird. Probably won't return again unless going with a group. read more

Pretty brutal. I had been to the restaurant when it was on Yonge St a while back, and remembered I had a decent meal. I recently found out that they had moved closer to Yonge and Sheppard and decided to try it out with a few friends, alongside my wife. First of all, it's more of a bar rather than a restaurant - something I must've forgotten. So, expect some loud noise from your fellow patrons who are there to drink. Second, the lights are so dim you can barely see the menu or what you're eating. Third, the service is non-existent. There was only one server working on the night we went, and she was never visible. My pregnat wife had to get up to get her attention 5 times. Who the hell is running this place? BTW we decided to try their new Garlic Bossam thinking it just may have been cooked with garlic or even roasted garlic. Wrong! It was basically their regular Bossam dish with sliced raw garlic and raw minced garlic sprinkled on the pork. WTF. And I agree with the other reviews about how the price does not reflect the quantity or quality of the dishes. That is all. You won't be seeing me there again. read more

Food is okay. Service is quite horrible (servers are never there and food serving is really slow). Prices is reasonable compared to other Korean restaurant. Quite disappointed and will not return. read more
