Salaryman East Lake

My daughter and I both had Ramen this past Sunday 4/30/23. She had the tonkatsu with noodles only. I had the Hangover, recommended by the staff as a favorite. We also ordered the dumplings and karaage. Im disappointed that everything was absolutely without flavor. My ten year old daughter, who’s had ramen at numerous restaurants across town since the age of 6, couldn’t eat her meal because of the complete lack of flavor, which I verified. It tasted as if the broth were poured straight from a box of bone broth! My Hangover ramen was slightly more edible because of the additional ingredients and the fact I was going to have to pay for it all. We asked for salt which didn’t help because it lacked the rich flavorful essence of tonkatsu in the first place. That was our first time there as we were looking for a closer alternative to our new residence. It could of been an off night or maybe they forgot a step in the process but we will not be returning. I don’t like to complain and I was hoping our server asked if we enjoyed the meal, but he did not. He did ask if we’d like to take the leftover to go which I of course declined. Paid and we left. I stopped by McDonald’s to get my daughter a happy meal.

My friends brought me here on my last visit with the promise of a great chicken sandwich. Salaryman delivered! We shared the okra fries to start. Each of us enjoyed the fried sandwich, some with the broccoli salad on the side. Excellent food and quick service.

Great service. We had the salmon California roll, Korean style wings, Korean street corn, and the beef bulgogi steamed buns. Everything was tasty but the buns were insanely good.

Food was hella good, prices and portion size were reasonable, location gave really chill vibes. However it did take anyone on staff a good second before coming to help. It might have been the door I walked in through though. I'll try the front door next time since I'll def be going back.Recommended.

This was, sadly, the worst ramen I’ve ever had. The broth was barely warm and the noodles seemed to just be boxed spaghetti noodles. I was also rushed to order bc the kitchen was closing 45 mins before the restaurant closed which seemed a bit extreme to me. The atmosphere is nice though.

Was really excited to try the ramen here after seeing it on several top list. The restaurant has a very chill vibe and the servers were nice and attentive. The ramen however did not live up to the hype. It was lacking seasoning and flavor. If you’re looking for drinks and a chill vibe Definitely check this place out…for the ramen not so much.

Tried this place for the first time recently. Staff was really nice, but the burger and ramen were both just ok. Ramen was not as flavorful as I would hope for. Fries came out a bit cold. I liked the vibe and want this place to do well - so I hope the many glowing reviews are true, but it's not what we experienced.

Second time here and oh my. Let me just say other folks who have critiques may have gone on a bad night because the flavors are on point. Fried Gyoza is something else, flavorful and delish. Got the fried chicken ramen with mushrooms. The chicken definitely gets soggy in the broth but the soy broth gives it a great combo of flavors. Next time I’m going to ask for some spicy sauce and see how it tastes with a little ?. Drink is Bobbin’ for Apple and wow. If you’re looking for a drink that tastes like fall this is it!

The volcano sushi was yummy. The sake in a box tradition nice and the sake was yummy. Better if you go with friends cuz only one type of sake was available in a glass. The rest were $25 and $50 plus per bottle.My yakisoba was yummy. Unfortunately the Tonkatsu wasn’t very seasoned. The pork belly was very fatty. It took at least 30 plus minutes for us to get our food and the place was not busy.

When I looked at the pictures online I just KNEW the food had to be good! Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. I ordered the Tonkatusu ramen, and the bulogi beef fries from doordash expecting a delicious meal.My tonkatusu ramen was not only cold upon arrival, it had ZERO flavor. The noodles were undercooked, broth was absolutely flavorless, and to top it off I found 2 fruit flies floating in the broth halfway through eating it- I just threw the rest away.As for the fries- the beef itself and the kimchi that comes on the fries was actually pretty flavorful. However, the fries themselves were cold and the cheese that comes on it was completely congealed. The gravy that came with it was completely devoid of flavor. I tasted it on its own before putting it my fries- it was a flavorless, sad goo. Not even a pinch of salt .For a meal that cost almost $50 when you include delivery, I can confidently say it's not worth it. I will not be trying them again.

The drink (TKO) was fantastic. Slightly overpriced? Possibly, but fizzy, a bit sweet, and fun. The Ramen (forget the name but includes fried chicken) was on the disappointing side. The broth had am unusual taste that wasn't pleasant and the chicken was fried too hard to me. Though, my server, Dave, is a sweetheart!I'm considering returning just to try another item and see if my feelings about the place change.

Parking: I believe there's street parking.

Amazing food, especially the appetizers: street corn, gochujang Brussel sprouts, and bulgogi poutine were all phenomenal. The fried chicken sandwhich had a sauce that was a little too sweet for my taste but their fries are so so crispy and fantastic. The drink I got was amazing as well (korean boy band).

Parking: Difficult to find parking and the lot was full

Would not recommend. My pork belly was only fat, the broth had no flavor, the gyoza was like gyoza you can get anywhere, but this ramen is so disappointing I can’t even eat it and keep in mind I’m starving and that’s how disappointing it is. Go to a place that uses seasoning

Came here on a Sunday evening for dinner and was not disappointed. Parking was super easy for me as I parked right outsideThe food was good and the aesthetic was good. Great drinks, they were the best part of our experience.We ordered the crispy Brussel sprouts and Korean fried chicken wings as appetizers and the ramen and bulogi beef rice as entrees.The wings and sprouts were delicious and both entrees were equally delicious. So glad we came here and will definitely be back soon to try other things on the menu.

I went in the other day. Not. Big deal that they didn’t have what I was looking for in food so I just ordered a Diet Coke and planned to leave. I closed out and was charged for my coke + tip fee of two dollars on a coke. I mean I get charging tips for large parties and so forth but a coke that is six dollars. I was in shock and will not be back.
