About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Salaryman is Chef Stephen Seckold’s own take on a grungy, modern-day noodle-bar. Located in Surry Hills, Salaryman is the inspiration of Seckold who has always been a fan of the Japanese phenomenon ‘salaryman’ and being a chef, he saw a synergy with this ‘work hard, play hard’ ethos that has inspired the name.

It’s not hard to notice Seckold’s fine-dining flair applied to the daily-changing menu at Salaryman, with large focus on seasonal produce.
With the cocktails dictated by daily markets while showcasing the unusual through out the beer/wine list.

    Food was really impressive- I really liked the modern twist on Asian food. The stand out dish for us was the ribs with steam buns.

    The food is great, love the open kitchen, the service is ok but not great, attractive waiters but a bit inattentive.

    Had a great experience at Salaryman - the lamb belly in particular was amazing. Great cocktails and starters including the chinese bread w bone marrow. Will go back soon!

    Great fit out, drinks and menu. The front of house are friendly and efficient but lacked a little polish, if that makes sense. A couple of them seemed professional but the others lacked that little spark of professionalism. Overall a great experience though and will be recommending my friends check it out.

    A great find - delicious, creative food and a fun vibe. The service was attentive, but in between courses the food was very slow. But that didn't spoil a fun night. The wine list was short and interesting. And the cocktails were great. We'll be back.

    Great little find. Good for small groups as plates are designed to share. Wasn't a big fan of the noodles which is disappointing for "Japanese" cuisine. But loved the other dishes. Loaded fries - best value! The pork ribs DIY bao was delish! Would get that again.

    Excellent food, but the service was not with long delays to be greeted, seated and then once the order was taken hugely long intervals in between courses. The 7 'course' tasting menu was good food, but with 2 vegetable dishes counting as courses and no desert included, extras may be needed. I would not rush back, since whilst the food was good there are many equal restaurants with better service.
