Salaryman Toco Hills

Salaryman - Review - Toco Hills - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Salaryman is more multi-dimensional than Meryl Streep. At lunchtime, the place is packed with business colleagues chatting over a $13 bento box with excellent spicy Korean fried chicken. By night, friends and families (it’s kid-friendly) are passing around giant bowls of spicy beef ramen with plenty of kimchi or devouring a decent-sized juicy burger. The dining room and bar don’t have a ton of personality aside from a lone Shohei Ohtani jersey on the wall and a bunch of TVs quietly playing sporting events. But the crowds come here for the tasty Japanese and Korean fusion dishes, relaxed vibes, and a straightforward, reliable meal. Food Rundown Bulgogi Quesadilla This is listed under their “Great To Share” menu section, but after one bite, everyone at our table wanted to get their own order. The ribeye is tender and meshes well with the tangy kimchi, gooey cheese, and side of thinned-out sour cream. photo credit: Sarah Newman Pork & Chicken Gyoza You get six pan-fried or steamed dumplings served with a soy dipping sauce. These are standard, but solid. Fried Chicken Sandwich The fried chicken thigh is covered with gochujang and sesame aioli. It’s a little spicy and definitely worth an order when you’re in a sandwich mood. photo credit: Sarah Newman Spicy Beef Ramen The broth is rich, beefy, and only a little spicy, despite the name. The kimchi balances the slight spiciness with some acidity. This isn’t for ramen purists, but it’s a nice, tasty bowl. photo credit: Sarah Newman Tonkotsu This is a well-executed take on the standard ramen. The pork bone broth is creamy and the pork belly and noodles are well-cooked. photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman Pause Unmute" - Juli Horsford
