Almost always free samples. Easy order and pickup process.

Sarku Japan at Chicago Ridge is one of the best options in the food court and their Chicken Teriyaki blows away the other Asian competition in the food court of Panda Express and Tokyo Express. Sarku makes everything fresh and you can tell the difference over the other places with cafeteria style bins over steam tables sitting for minutes or even hours. Sarku does cook chicken in large batches of 10 to 20 orders at a time but each batch only takes 10 to 15 minutes to fulfill the customers orders before it's all gone. All Sarku locations operate this way by corporate SOP from the headquarters in Canada. The Chicken Teriyaki is the go-to item here. This location does not currently offer sushi like the locations at Orland or Yorktown but I've always been questionable of low priced food court sushi anyway. You can get beef or shrimp teriyaki but they often heat it too high and too long and both suffer. You can't treat the beef or shrimp as if they were chicken. You can usually find samples being given out here to compare to the samples of orange or mandarin chicken being offered by the other two Asian spots. The average entree meal here is about $5 to $6 not including drinks. They are about even with the other Asian places but at Sarku the portion size is greater and you'll likely have some leftovers to take home along with the six pack of Cinnabon's you've likely already purchased! Drinks are pricy here but that seems to be the average at most food service outlets anymore. I don't agree paying $2.50 for something that cost them just $.20 cents including the cost of the cup, ice production, bulk soda syrup, lid, and a straw. Come on people. I just bring a water bottle from home. The Chicago Ridge food court has simple but nice seating. There is also a carousel for the kids or yourself! Restrooms are far to the right from Sarku at the mall entrance to the food court.

We absolutely LOVE this place! The food is truly spectacular, but what makes this restaurant so…read morespecial is the people behind it. Everyone is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their customers. You can tell they put so much love and pride into everything they do. The sushi is some of the best we've ever had, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality. Our favorites are the Chicago Bears Roll, Summer Roll, Fire Dragon, and the Philadelphia Roll -- and they're always so accommodating with customizations (we love adding jalapeño to the Philadelphia!). Beyond the amazing food, their generosity and kindness really stand out. It's rare to find a business where you feel genuinely appreciated as a customer, and that's exactly how we feel every time we come here. We truly can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Amazing food, amazing people, amazing prices, and an incredible local business that deserves all the support. If you haven't tried it yet, GO! You won't regret it!

Top notch sushi. Walking up on it, you wouldn't know by the store front, because there's only a few…read moretables inside. But I have to say this is easily some of the freshest and best sushi l've ever had. Unbelievably fresh and superb tasting. Highly recommend the jalapeño crab meat bites and the mango dragon roll. Can't go wrong with the classic California roll either. This place is a hidden gem. Enjoy!

I love everything about the place. It's such a cute, small space nicely lit and decorated. The…read moreservice upon entry is amazing from beginning to the end. My server, India, was very sweet, attentive, and informative! I truly appreciated her service and hospitality. Now let's get to my favorite part -- THE FOOD!!! I started with the fried chicken bao bun 10000/10. Very crispy, the flavors from everything meshed well and were just so delicious! This was my first time trying a bao bun and it was a great first impression!!! For my meal, I had the crispy chicken ramen -- first time for this as well -- and babyyyyyy, I may have found a new love!!! Everything about the bowl was amazing. The chicken was fried so good that even in the broth it still had crunch, and there were enough noodles for two servings if you ask me, esp since I had leftovers!! The corn and cabbage were also a good touch and I added egg! Lovedddddd this bowl. Perfect amount of spice and flavor!! Will be returning!!!! I also tried the lychee mango tea... bombbbbbb!!!! So fire okay! If you're ever in the area and want some good ramen, def give them a try!

Wanted to give them a try. Saw they had beef bowls (Donburi) on the menu. Was expecting it to be…read morelike the beef bowls in Japan but it wasn't. Lot of rice and pieces of beef that was a little chewy. Topping was ok but not what I expected. Next I had the gyoza, it was ok but the dipping sauce was good. Services was good. They bring your food out to you in a nice bag and the restaurant was real clean and bright. I'll definitely go again to try different appetizers and the ramen.

We got basically a private room since there were 7 of us there for Sunday lunch. Overall the…read moreexperience was good, as expected. The ordering process via ipad was easy; we just passed it around and hit the submit button at the end. The sauce bar had a lot of choices, and they had a small dessert bar as well. Overall, it's just what you'd expect so there are no hidden charges like "broth charge extra", etc like Happy Lamb. Meat and vegetable quality was good overall; fresh. Our server Mimi was on point and was great at her job, so kudos. Two things that were slightly annoying which prevented the 5 star rating were: 1) 18% gratuity for party of 5 or more; just another way to apply a price adder I guess. 2) photographer took our photos then then tried to sell us each framed picture for $20 each. A bit dear, and I would've bought them if they were $10 ea. Other than that, it's a nice place to have a meal.

My daughter wanted to try this experience for her birthday. As the Mom, I knew I'd be doing a…read moremajority of the cooking. The only place we did this before was in video games. Pros: The place was clean, the food was quality, the service fast, and friendly. Cons: Two sets of tongs for a family of four. All the sauce ingredients with no measurements on the listed recipes. I do have my own base stir-fry sauce I do at home that I was able to make. - The Sauce and tongs is why a one star deduction. The favorite was definitely the grill. Their base marinades don't need sauces. I did use my aforementioned sauce to flavor things like the plain chicken one of my kids ordered. Hot Pot: 1 Miso and 3 Toms. Two of us thought the Tom was not good. One thought it was okay. The Miso was liked... but as the youngest chose it and was randomly throwing stuff in there... Well her cooking skills need help, but that's not on them. Overall it was a better experience than I expected, even being the one to cook 90% of it. It was a good fun family outing. If/when we do this again, I'll likely ask if I can try other soup bases. Maybe using their mini sauce bowls before committing. Note: I do strongly suggest doing your homework if you are unfamiliar with this type of faire. We did. It enriches the experience. I'll likely bring a note sheet on sauce recipes. If you have more than two people, bring extra tongs. (I did ask for more, but didn't get more - Unsure if this is protocol or oops.)
