He tells me he's not our server. Then he asked me what plates to clear, and I pointed to the big stack in front of me which he begrudgingly took. Then he turned around and kicked the door to get into the kitchen. Horrible attitude and rude. He was a young kid probably 20 at most, so I'm not sure what his role was in the restaurant. The food is also way too salty. I had the fillet and chicken combo and it was almost inedible. I think Sushi is a way to go because that was much better than the hibachi.

The waitress was very polite. She took our drink orders and made a great suggestion. We also had Sushi and hibachi. The sushi was very good, made fresh, and incredibly flavorful. There are even a couple new rolls in the menu. The only downside to the sushi is that three of us ordered and it all came in one platter. This is fine at a table, but inconvenient at the grill. The chicken hibachi was done well. The chef did the normal show. One thing I liked was that he added a bit of garlic to the fried rice. Nice touch. Portions were large and even had some to take home. Overall a good visit.

We were told this was the best sushi the person who reffered us had ever eaten. Challenge accepeted! We both agreed it was excellent sushi and I have been back every time I have been in Appleton since, except when they were closed due to Covid. This time I was there with a different co worker. We decided to order Tuna Tartare and 3 rolls. We had the popper roll, dragon roll and another that I cannot remember the name of. Each was different but equally good. We also had a salad, your typical japanese salad with ginger dressing. The dressing was better than most. The rolls are huge, I don't know how someone without a big mouth can eat a piece. 3 rolls and the tartare was more than enough for the 2 of us. I have to say that this is in fact the best sushi I have eaten throughout the U.S.

The only thing that kept me tethered to reality as I was abusing my body was the Pokémon anime show on the televisions. My heart was mended as Totodile, Cyndaquil, and Chikorita melted Meowth's icy heart with a warm island song and used teamwork and the power of friendship to escape the cave that was being blocked by a large sleepy Snorlax. Even though Meowth ultimately betrayed the beloved trio, the overall message of kindness prevailed. Britney Spears on the radio was a nice touch also. Great restaurant, would recommend.

Through the years though, Sarku Japan have gone downhill. They no longer char the meat, provide steamed carrots and broccoli, provide hot chili oil, or the ability to select your own eating utensils. Yes, they give you one fork per order. No napkins either. Primarily chicken thighs are used for the chicken teriyaki order. I haven't had any other meats. The dumplings are subpar. Double meat is an option but I never do. You can also ask for more sauce, without extra charge. Fried rice is $.50 more. The meal is huge enough to share. At $10 a pop, it's a cheap and fulfilling lunch. I personally find this at a better deal than most restaurant at this mall.

The pork eggrolls were extremely crispy and the filling was delicious, their pork buns are out of this world. The bun was super fluffy and the pork had amazing texture and flavor. I can't wait to come back here and try more items off the menu (granted it'll be hard to order anything else since what I had was so great)!

Flavors were okay but very muted across the board. Not quite spicy and scale is very mild. Seasoning also mild and the actual Thai flavors are muddled across the board. We got several dishes including curry, fried rice, the lime pork appetizer, chicken satay, etc to try a bit of everything. Slightly disappointed. Atmosphere was cute. Short tables and tall tables. Could accommodate larger groups of tables pushed together. There is a bar. Our service was subpar. Seemed like he hated his job or maybe just monotone. Either way, he fumbled around getting our order and then seemed to struggle to keep up with his tables. Unfortunately, likely not coming back since there are other options in the area. Happy eating!
