Salaryman Toco Hills

Came here for dinner with the family, it’s been on my list for quite some time to checkout. We were seated relatively quickly since we came on a Thursday evening. Kid friendly, there’s a kids menu and high chairs! We got kid the garlic noodles, hubby and I got the brussels and bulgogi buns as an app, he got the duck ramen and I had the shrimp garlic noodles. All the food was EXCELLENT. Our waitress was fantastic. Very attentive, made sure we were taken care of. No misses on the menu. We will be back!

We originally headed to Toco Hills to dine at another restaurant, but a power outage changed our plans. After scanning the plaza, we stumbled upon Salaryman—and we're so glad we did. One look at the online menu and we were intrigued enough to give it a try. It did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent across the board. The service was friendly, we were seated promptly, and the menu offered a great variety of options. We kicked things off with the Soy Garlic Fried Chicken Wings and Kimchi Fried Rice—both full of flavor and the perfect start to what turned out to be an outstanding meal. For our entrees, we had the Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap and the Beef Garlic Noodles, each dish satisfying and well-prepared. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Salaryman was an unexpected find, but it’s definitely earned a spot on our favorites list!

I wasn’t sure what to expect at this Korean fusion restaurant, but I ended up really liking it! They have a really interesting mix of Korean and American food that I think works well! Definitely worth trying out if you’re in the Toco Hills area.

A place with an fantastic menu and great weekly specials! Modern decor and a real brick pizza over in the kitchen! My friend and I went on a Wednesday for wine night and was very excited to try this place. We came a bit later in the evening and the place was surprisingly pretty empty. We decided to share the bulgogi quesadilla, Soy Garlic Chicken wings, & the Tuna Tartare. Everything was really good and nice portions! Sharing these three plates left us full. Since it was wine Wednesday, we got half off a bottle of wine and split it together. We were celebrating so we ordered a Sparkling wine to toast. All in all. Great visit. Many interesting menu options. Im excited to go again on a different day and try something else.

American Japanese Korean fusion, but I am missing some key Korean/Japanese keystones! Great import beer and sake selection. If you like sake they have so many types! But no Umeshu. I got bibimbap because I needed veggies. Tonkatsu ramen was pretty good (but not as good as a pure ramen place.) Went back to try their Korean friend chicken pizza! It looked and tasted amazing with fresh Korean pickles on top. Very sweet sauce used. Very thin crust, this is prob their most unique specialty in the menu. Bulgogi pizza also good, but the chicken pizza was better. But no japchae on the whole menu so that was disappointing. Waiter was chill and place has good vibes. Might be a new favorite spot because the combo of food selections and drinks.

Imagine walking into this place on a very hot sunny day, only to be half greeted by the staff, & them not having the AC working ( they did have the ceiling fans on). My friend & I decided to sit at the bar, & the bartender was unpleasant, unprofessional & had a weird disposition about himself. We had to ask for water twice, & he never came back after making our drinks to check on us or ask if we wanted to order food. However he chose to walk to the front of the restaurant (which is quite small) & start eating (smh). So I can’t even rate the food bc I didn’t get a chance to even be asked what we wanted to eat. We even had to ask another person for our ticket when it was time to leave. As far as the drinks, I would say they are extremely overpriced. I ordered a glass of rosè which was $15 & it was a very small pour. Overall, I did not like this place & would. It recommend based on my experience. I feel everyone should receive equal & fair treatment especially when we are all paying our hard earned money; regardless of the way you look. Smh do better salaryman, teach your staff how to be professional at all times. I added pics of the male, who was up front eating ( not sure if u can see it clear and the pic of my wine).

This place is amazing! Lovely weather calls for outdoor seating and this location has a great patio area. Amazing service also - servers are super attentive and very kind. They know the menu well to explain to guests that haven't tried Korean before. The dishes were absolutely delicious- here's our breakdown: Bulgogi Steam Buns - 10/10: just get them! Juicy meat and plump buns Pork belly steam Buns - 10/10: again, just get them! Juicy, flavorful, and delicious Dumplings - 8/10 yummy, 9/10 with the dipping sauce Street Corn- 9/10: flavorful, a tad small serving Spicy chicken sandwich - 10/10, good flavor, great sauce, good crunchy fries, Parmesan was a great touch on the sandwich Bulgogi Lunch Bento - 10/10: flavorful with a great variety of items included. The pickles were bright and the salad was well dressed and seasoned. Loved this! Drinks are canned or bottled but they have a huge bar selection and a drink menu too! They just opened so they are working on the to-go logistics.

This restaurant is so underrated, the food is amazing and I love the atmosphere. We tried the bulgogi buns as the appetizer, which had great flavor and we loved! My partner, who isn’t always the most adventurous eater, tried the steak with garlic noodles and loved it. I had the poke bowl which I also enjoyed. Just wished it had more sauce options to pair with it.

We had such an enjoyable first time dinner experience the other night. Our server, J. Was very friendly & helpful. She suggested ordering different items to get an idea of the Japenese/Korean inspired cuisine. And we did just that! J. Charmed me with a story about the sake, the drunken whale. Loved it! The sake was good too. it paired well with the tuna tartare & salmon sashimi. We then tried the gyoza, shrimp, beef bulg. on soft yeast bread, & the white pizza. We had a great variety. Everything was tasty & came out in a timely manner. It's a very casual environment. There is a small bar area. They also have outdoor seating. Families, families with young children, dates, older, younger...quite a mix of folk that enjoy this restaurant. The restaurant was filled with people & it was quite loud, but nothing unusual nor bothersome. It was a vibe & I definitely enjoyed it. We will go back to try more items & repeat some of the ones we've already tried.

I recently visited Salaryman in Toco Hills in thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I sat out on the patio that gave me a beautiful view of the sunset. My server was super helpful in helping me choose items from the extensive menu and just provided great service throughout the entire experience. I had the beef bulgogi quesadilla that was so flavorful and provided a nice crunch with the added kimchi. I also had the tuna tartare with chips that was definitely an interesting combination. I absolutely loved the sauce on the tuna tartare but wasn't expecting it to be served with regular old Zappo's potato chips. I wasn't the biggest fun of this combination but still enjoyed the tuna. Lastly, I had the duck confit buns which was delicious. The duck leg was flavorful and crispy just how I like it. I enjoyed all these apps with the refreshing TKO cocktail that had lychee, hibiscus, aperol, and sparkling wine. It wasn't overly sweet and was the perfect patio drink to sip on. Overall I enjoyed my visit and look forward to returning to try more of their delicious menu items!

well..... our family visit here was AWESOME! Our server J was cool! The food selection and quality was top notch. I will fill this back in later with more info but its worth a try!!

Nice spot for a casual dinner with friends or family if you're looking for good fusion food and a decent bar! I tried a few dishes and I wouldn't say any of them were stand outs or the best food I've ever had, but I generally enjoyed all of plates that I tried! The fried chicken and the quesadilla were pretty standard and you can never go wrong with them, and I thought the bibimbop pizza was unique, but tasted really good too! The service was good and it wasn't too pricy, so I'll definitely be back when I'm craving Asian food!

My husband and I have driven past Salaryman a few times and have always been curious to stop and give it a shot. I'm glad we did! The day we visited, it was sunny and 78 degrees - perfect weather to sit outside with our pup, Mira. Our server was super kind and brought us waters immediately as we sat, even some for Mira too! We started off with the Soy Garlic wings, which were so flavorful with that savory umami taste. For our main dishes, we opted for the Fried Chicken sandwich and the Bulgogi Bibimbap. Our meals were great and tasted so fresh! We'll happily return again - and we're so thrilled to know their patio is pet friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

did not expect this place to be good, but the $13 lunch bento on a sunday was pretty decent. I really enjoyed the two sauces they gave for the dumplings and beef bulgogi. everything paired very nicely! waitress was nice and the restaurant was very open and breezy.

My first visit, cute interior and a very unique menu. I really enjoyed the pork and kimchi pizza. The pitcher of Sapporo beer was a great deal.

Excellent server. Went the extra step to confirm our to-go order, ramen w/o kimchi, was made correctly. Made them make it again.....thank you. Very good gyoza dumplings, good ramen, and good salads. Kids pizza was OK, but hey....it's for the kids. Nice atmosphere, plenty of parking. We'll be back.

We went to Salaryman on a Sunday. Located in Toco shopping center with plenty of parking. There is outside seating and garage doors to open up the restaurant if the weather was nice. It is July so not a great time for either. It is a causal restaurant with a bar. We were seated immediately but it was not very crowded. The menu is very broad, Japanese, Korean, pizza and bar food. I picked the Korean bibimbop pizza with Impossible meat, so it was vegetarian. My partner had a bento box with pork. We had water to drink. Our food arrived after about 10 minutes. My pizza looked great and my partner's bento looked good too. My pizza was spicy and sweet topped with fresh arugula. WOW. Very balanced flavors and I want more. Crispy crust, fresh toppings and lightly sauced. My partner cleaned his bento box. He loved it. Great service, nicely decorated and great food. We will return.

I'd probably give it 3.5 or 3.75. Nothing particularly spectacular or memorable. We went for a late lunch. Ordered the lettuce wrap and wings for appetizers/sharing. The lettuce wraps were probably the most underwhelming item we ordered. They didn't come pre-filled so we had to make them in our own. The meat was a bit dry. Wings were pretty crispy and had good flavor. Bento box had a good variety and decently priced. Would probably skip the wings and choose the bento box with the Korean fried chicken if I go back

A great asian American fusion place. Price is moderate for the Toco Hills area and the dishes are packed with flavors. Ordered the Bulgogi pizza, bo sam, tonkotsu ramen, Korean wings and Hamachi. I liked them all but the pizza had a tad too much sweetness to its spicy red sauce. This sauce I get is supposed to have some sweetness to it but it was a little too ambitious and complex, making a simple beautiful tasting pizza too complex. Would recommend dialing back on sugar on their sauce- if you don't like a sweet spicy sauce, then wouldn't get the bulgogi pizza. Bo Ssam is the pork belly with lettuce- a good quality belly that Melts in your mouth. A sure crowd pleaser Ramen was well done- good char stew with well done noodles that weren't too rubbery and flavor of soup was filled with umami and good with flavor. Wings were a good hit too- nothing outstanding but very good. Service was decently prompt - atmosphere is chill right outside of a shopping complex and it's a great place to unwind. '

Wow!!! I don't even know where to start.....this place has DELICIOUS food and drinks. I got the steak and garlic noodles for my entree and Brussel sprouts for my appetizer. I forgot the name of the drink I got, something with lychee but really good. My server was so informative and kind. I'm definitely going back!!

Randomly tried this place leaving from Ulta in the same plaza. Thank goodness I did. This was my first time trying Bulgogi steamed buns and they were amazing! The chicken sando was good, I love the sauce on it and the chicken was juicy but the flavor was only the sauce. The pork and chicken gyoza was very very good. I tried the TKO drink and it was tasty. The service was ok, it took awhile for the drinks to get to us and the waitress didn't check on us, we had to stop her but I don't blame her, she seemed to be the only person working tables. The spot is nice, they have inside and outside seating. The inside has doors that they open which was nice. I Woolf go back for another visit.

I miss having Salaryman in Kirkwood/Decatur! We still make the trip over to Toco Hills for their happy hour specials and their duck buns, which are the best thing on the menu.

Nice place for a casual night out. I went here on a friday night with a buddy of mine to get some drinks and food. They have a good selection of liquor, wine and beer. The craft cocktails were good. I had the traditional asian medicine (Japanese whiskey with ginger and honey) and by buddy got the Japanese old fashioned - sub the bourbon in the old fashioned with japanese whiskey. Drinks were good - nothing to rave about. For food, we went with the garlic noodles with steak and the wagyu burger. I liked the garlic noodles, but you have to have a taste for garlicy food! The wagyu burger was good to - it comes with fries or spicy broccoli - which I thought was an out of the box choice for a side. Service was good! We sat at the bar and the bartender was pretty attentive and gave good suggestions. The only thing I disliked was the amount of time it took for them to serve the food. The place wasnt busy - but it still took them about 25-30 mins to get the food out.

This place is amazing! Lovely weather calls for outdoor seating and this location has a great patio area. Amazing service also - servers are super attentive and very kind. They know the menu well to explain to guests that haven't tried Korean before. The dishes were absolutely delicious- here's our breakdown: Bulgogi Steam Buns - 10/10: just get them! Juicy meat and plump buns Pork belly steam Buns - 10/10: again, just get them! Juicy, flavorful, and delicious Dumplings - 8/10 yummy, 9/10 with the dipping sauce Street Corn- 9/10: flavorful, a tad small serving Spicy chicken sandwich - 10/10, good flavor, great sauce, good crunchy fries, Parmesan was a great touch on the sandwich Bulgogi Lunch Bento - 10/10: flavorful with a great variety of items included. The pickles were bright and the salad was well dressed and seasoned. Loved this! Drinks are canned or bottled but they have a huge bar selection and a drink menu too! They just opened so they are working on the to-go logistics.

The ambiance and service were great and this location is amazing with ample parking in Toco Hills. It's between the package store and Wendy's. Brussel Sprouts- crispy and good combo of flavors. The go hug hang makes it pretty unique. Beef bibimbop pizza- crust was crispy and the flavoring was ok. It is on the sweet side. Didn't taste much spice. Spicy tonkatsu ramen- essentially just comes with a chili sauce but that couldn't save it. This was the most bland ramen I have ever had. You couldn't take any pork and while I don't typically like salty foods, this definitely needed salt or soy sauce. When the ramen came out, you could also see that it was a bit congealed at the top and you had to break that layer and mix it. The egg at least was soft boiled. Koji Gold Japanese style lager- pretty smooth. Actually brewed in Tennessee. All in all, I was really disappointed with the ramen but would be willing to come back to try some other dishes like their Korean fried chicken wings.

My experience here was just OK. The fried chicken sandwich is HUGE & the broccoli salad was pretty good (like broccoli banchan). The service wasn't the best but wasn't horrible. They forgot one of the meals at our table, but once we pointed it out they brought it out as quickly as they could. Their cocktail menu seemed to be better than their food menu.

We walked in and were the only customers on a Friday at lunchtime. This is always a red flag. We ordered garlic chicken wings, avocado app, diet coke and a cocktail. $60 GOOD:Loved the crunchy outside and the garlic sauce. The worlds tiniest avocado had an interesting flavor with umami. Our server (Sidney) was amazing and we have zero complaints about her. BAD: THE toughest and chewiest chicken I've EVER had. We ordered 6 and left 4. We never leave food, we at least take leftovers. Even the diet coke was dead ass flat. UGLY: The drink tastes like crystal light with raw jalapeños, and the glass had salty rim down the whole side of the half side of the glass....it was $17. I'll gladly pay that for a proper drink.

Title: "A Culinary Rollercoaster at Salaryman, Decatur" In the heart of Decatur lies Salaryman, a restaurant that promises a journey but delivers a rollercoaster. The burger, a centerpiece of any American eatery, sadly missed a pinch of magic in its seasoning, leaving taste buds yearning for more. And oh, the desserts! Akin to arid landscapes, they crumbled under the expectation, lacking the moisture and the synergy with the rest of the menu. But let's talk about the Ramen - the soul of the place, or so one would hope. It regrettably fell short of the deep, heartfelt embrace of authentic cultural essence. Yet, not all was lost in this gastronomic gamble. The appetizers, a trio of tantalizing treats, sang harmonious symphonies of flavor, offering a glimmer of what could be. Salaryman, with its highs and lows, remains a place I'd venture to again, if only for the hope of a more consistent melody.

I always wanted to try this place and finally got to one night when me and my best friend found ourselves in the Toco Hills area one evening. We decided to try it and were pretty pleasantly surprised! The menu has a lot of different options and I got the salmon dish with vegetables and rice. I would have given this place a 5 star but my salmon was really over cooked. The flavor was good and I'd still come back to try some of the other dishes. The pizza and ramen both sounded really good! Our waiter was really nice as well. She had just started working there. So overall a good first start. Looking forward to updating this review the next time I come.

Ahh what a memorable experience. We tried a lot of superb dishes, but one stole our heart or better yet our tastebuds. It was the BIG BOSS kalbi jjim . Certainly a must try dish. Not many restaurants if any are preparing their BIG BOSS Kalbi Jjim like the Salaryman is. I'm a fan of anything that requires some fire table-side. We also recommend the Hamachi carpaccio with the bulgogi steamed buns as your appetizers. We'll certainly be back.

I had the pepperoni pizza or at least half before deciding it was not worth finishing. The grocery store frozen pizza is better. The beer selection is very limited to IPA and rice beers. That in itself is fine however it leaves many other variations out. The chicken wings are not great as well. They had a a runny sauce that should have been for dipping instead of poured over. I have not explored the other items on the menu however I think quality in the food is not top priority. The service was a bit flippant as well. Probably not coming back for the third time. I tried.

Probably some of the worst Korean food I've ever had, and extremely overpriced for that matter too. Brussel sprouts, pork gyoza, and bibimbap were so mediocre. I guess if you had to get one of them, I'd say to go for the brussel sprouts, but wow were they drenched in oil and tasted like a mop! I could get better gyoza at Costco, and the bibimbap was cold and unseasoned. I wish we had not gone here at all. Waste of $120.

I really wanted to like this place. The decor was pretty sparse lacking any character. We came for kareoke and Sake bombs which was touted on their website but when we got there our waitress didnt know anything about either. I had the wagyu burger and my wife had a korean pizza. Both were lackluster. Pizza being particularly bad. Burger was ok but nothing special, We waited for what seemed like forever and finally just asked to change it to a to go order and took it home. Appetizer, sake, and entrees topped us off at about $100. Not cheap for a mediocre uninspired meal. Wish it was better as I was amped to find a new local spot.

Went there with my mom for lunch and it was perfect! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I asked for the recommendation and she said Bulgogi quesadilla! It was the best quesadilla I ever tried. We did have the pan fried gyoza as well and it's delicious! Very crispy! The space is not big but it has plenty of room to sit!

We came for lunch and had a great time. There were so many options that looked good we ended up sharing some appetizers instead of getting full entrees. First we had the avocado which was so interesting. It's cooked in the pizza oven and has an interesting effect and so delicious. Only wished it came with some extra crackers. Then we had the wings which were as expected but good. Next we had a side of fries and just typical too. Last we had the baos with beef and these were probably my favorite. The restaurant has fun decor and has some nice outdoor seating area too. I want to come back for dinner because there's a few options on the dinner menu that weren't available at lunch time that looked good.

Server was great. Food was delicious. But the wait for food was almost an hour for a burger and fries, and Brussels sprouts. It was a Thursday evening and the restaurant wasn't that busy...as someone who has worked extensively in restaurants before it looked like the floor manager needed to be a bit more trusting of the food runners and servers but perhaps they were new... I'd order the Brussels sprouts again for takeout but probably wouldn't dine in.

Great food, drinks, atmosphere and service at Salaryman Toco Hill! Fun for the whole family, regardless of how picky they are (and my family and I are really picky)! There are plenty of food options including gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and all of them are delicious! Great cocktails too! I really like the crispy Brussels sprouts, the bibimbap with impossible meat. Our daughter loves the ramen and my wife loves the sautéed mushroom buns! My favorite cocktail is the Japanese Old Fashioned. The mochi donut sundae is amazing and gluten free! Great place to catch a game too with several TVs inside and on the patio. Parking is free and plentiful.

Ask for Jordan! She is phenomenal. She guided us through the menu with great suggestions for our first-time dining. We'll be back for sure!

First, the ambiance is inconsistent. The dining area is cafeteria-esque. The outdoor seating area is lovely; overlooking an often congested parking lot. And the bar... Oh gosh, extra space! What should we put? I got it! A bar! Yeah, no. The Brussels were crisped to perfection however, the balsamic was added post crisp and in sporadic, heavy-handed patches. Nonetheless, once you figure out where you're able to properly administer flavor to any unflavored Brussels. The ramen. SALTY SALTY SALTY. The roof of my mouth is raw and I feel my ankles swelling! I imagine the sodium content for an instant store bought packet pales in comparison to Salaryman's Bulgogi Ramen dish. Soulless, oily and barely edible. The 3 stars is for the extensive drink menu, drink pricing and outdoor seating. A low-key go-to for friends just wanting to drink and chat.

This Asian infusion restaurant is a must-try. You will find something for everyone, from Burgers to pizza. You can get Roman to Salmon. I love it when I satisfy my inner foodie and do a mini-tasting of many different things, and I did just that with help from my friend Mel. We started with the edamame hummus. I admit I was scared since I was not a big hummus girl, but with a little nudge from my girl, I tried it, and it was terrific. Then we tried something from the hot starters and went with the shrimp tempura. When I tell you, I could have eaten this over some rice and veggies and been in heaven. The sauce and the way it was perfectly cooked chefs kiss. But we were not done (don't judge me). We had to move on to the main course, so like myself Mel is a meal swap girly ( so my love language)! She got the Salmon, and I got the impossible Burger! When I tell you, both plates were perfect! I can not finish this review without mentioning the best server ever, Jordan! Not only was she so attentive, but she also helped us select some excellent plates to try. This place is great!!

this place sucks. the food sucks. the service extra sucks. they couldn't care less about you. save yourself the experience. even if they paid me to come back, i wouldn't come to this place nor recommend it to a soul.

Had heard good things and we were over in Toco Hills so thought we'd give it a try. Saturday at 7 pm - sat immediately. That's telling (when the Mexican place 100 feet away has a line out the door). Opted for an interior table - acoustics were loud and it felt a bit like "casual dining". Young sever was very accommodating and effective. Kept our water glasses full. I ordered the brussel sprout app, a couple of pieces of nigiri and an eel roll. My daughter had ramen. The presentation on all was lovely. But no other way to say this - without exception, the food was bland. Especially the brussel sprouts which were nicely charred but lacked a pronounced accompanying sauce and the Tonkatsu ramen (which also suffered from mushy noodles) - even after adding the spicy sauce which had been served on the side. Might try something different next visit ...

We went to Salaryman Toco Hills for Trivia & dinner. We ordered appetizer KOREAN BULGOGI POUTINE. I had poutine in Toronto before. But the poutine we had at Salaryman was better! I loved them. I had POKE RICE BOWL. Tuna & Salmon with spicy sauce. It was great. Scott had PORK KIMCHI JJIGAE PIZZA. Yummy!

Let's just say I love that this place opened up in Toco Hills! It's a great addition to the plaza and as well as a great choice to eat. The food here is so good and they have a nice variety for any type of weather. I especially like the twist they have on pizza, but the burger is also fabulous. On nice days I like to sit out on the patio and they make a mean old-fashioned! Lots of drink choices! The service is always good and the atmosphere is fun, try it out you won't be disappointed!!!

It's convenient with so many TVs my husband likes to take a break here and the wings are good!

We came in around 5ish on a Sunday to grab a drink and check out the place. I didn't notice until we were there that yelp says it is closed on Sunday's... clearly not the case. To drink, I had the tequila honeybee cocktail and it was delicious. Really smooth, not too smokey, not too sweet, very well balanced. The food menu looked so good that we decided to order an early dinner as well. I had the garlic noodles with steak and my bf had the bimimbap with bulgogi beef. The garlic noodles was definitely the better of the two dishes. I prefer a drier noodle that just has a kiss of garlic and this had an oily sauce on it that made it a bit slimey in texture but the taste was still good. The steak was tasty and well cooked except for a few fatty pieces that were inedible. The bimimbap was kind of disappointing and lacked the crispy rice you would expect. The entire dish was served cold save for the poached egg and the bulgogi beef was just okay. I'd say overall 3 stars for the food but service and the cocktail were so good that it bumps it up to a 4 for me. I think we will be back to try more, especially when they get the outdoor area going on a nice spring day.

Initially thought this would be a good place for a first date if you're at Emory--it's relatively cheap, close to campus, and it's decently plain decor. The menu has too many finger foods that'll get too messy for a date. We got the pork belly lettuce wrap, soy garlic Korean fried chicken, the Big Kim burger, and the Hangover ramen. The pork belly lettuce wrap hae good flavors, but it was too small of a portion size. The soy garlic was probably our fav because the chicken came out super crispy and juicy. The Big Kim burger was also very solid but nothing special for a place that does Asian fusion food. Don't get the Hangover ramen; it was just an instant ramen that's a little spiced up. Kudos to the service tho, our waitress gave us wet wipes after seeing we got messy.

Patronized Salaryman again, trying the sushi this time. Food and service still awesome. The mother of dragons roll had the perfect amount of spice. Loved it and I think I'm becoming a regular.

One and Done! First time visiting this restaurant and was thoroughly disappointed. The server was friendly and the food looked delicious, however it lacked the flavor that is normally noticed in this type of cuisine. We ordered the Korean fried wings and beef bulgogi bowls. Omg... they were out of sweet tea! This is Georgia...why would they be out of this southern staple? So we ordered cokes and a sprite and the server brought 12 oz cans to the table which cost $3 each . Have never been served a can of coke at a restaurant... I guess we should've left at the first red flag: waiting a bit to be seated and not really being greeted in a welcoming manner.

Such a lovely space to have a meal or just grab drinks. We got the Secret Garden cocktail which was crisp, bubbly, and only a little sweet. The street corn comes on the cob and has a decent kick. The soy garlic wings are my weakness - I could eat a bucket of these, best soy garlic Korean fried chicken I've had in ATL. I've had their hangover ramen before and it was good but a bit heavy. Service is excellent but we haven't been when it's really busy so can't speak to that but everyone is so nice can't imagine it otherwise!

My husband and I came here last night. We were sat quickly and given waters.. then sat there for 5-10 minutes without anyone coming to take our drink orders. Finally caught the eye of someone and who said she wasn't our server, but would let our server know. We sat for another 5 minutes and still nobody came so we just got up and left. The restaurant wasn't even close to full, and there were several employees just standing around. This was our second time here. The first time I remember waiting for quite a while for the severs to take our order too. It's a shame because we remember the food being pretty good, and the cocktails are creative. Not a bad spot to watch a game either. Just not too sure what's going on with their servers. We'll probably give them another chance soon in case it was just an off night.

Food was bland and overpriced. Avoid this place. Better off going to Iron Age in the same complex

I went in for a quick drink and placed a to go order. The bartender was so nice and helpful. She recommended the garlic noodles with steak. They were packed so nicely. Food was still warm when I got home. The steak was good, nice and tender and a little crisp around the edges. ( I like it like that ) . The noodles were really great, buttery, garlicyy . The scallions and ginger complimented it well. My wait wasn't too long either, as soon as I finished my drink my food was ready . It was a great combo. I would get it again !

Craft beer was good. The Gyoza was good. Would have preferred more but it was still good. Place was empty at 3:30pm but still had a good vibe. It's a bit pricey but quality stuff.

Absolutely loved my first visit to Salaryman! I sat at the bar, and I enjoyed conversing with bartender Sam. She was so nice and helpful with her recommendations! The fancy schmancy cocktail was so delicious and unique. For food, I had the pork belly buns and the soy garlic wings, and both were amazing! I kept telling Sam that she'll start seeing me on a weekly basis!

Decided to check out this establishment and it is. Definitely worth going. The food is great and is priced and a very reasonable price point. The drinks are very good as well. I will be going back to try a few other things on the menu.

We loved Taiyo Ramen, formerly the restaurant in residence at the Courtyard by Marriott in Downtown Decatur. And when it closed, we were heartbroken, but pleasantly surprised when the owners opened Salaryman in East Lake. A nice fusion of Koren/Japanese with a rad bar and food that held up in transit through the hell-hole delivery era of Covid, Salaryman quickly became a staple. Now they just opened their second location in Toco Hills and it's everything East Lake has plus Korean-inspired pizza (an homage to the previous tenants) and lunch service! Everything a good salaryman could ask for. Wait, East Lake has sushi now...maybe one day...not gonna get greedy here. Check them out! Cool owners, great drinks, fresh food, and kid friendly. Welcome back to Decatur, y'all!

Fantastic food with a lot of choices. Everybody in my party of 4 got something different. Everyone enjoyed what they got. Great service. Not a great ambiance but nothing negative.
