    Shrimp bentu box
    Jordain J.

    Not the best tasting quality food, but definitely if you're looking for something just a dine on real quick because you're in a rush and it's food that you're familiar with then I would definitely say that you should try this restaurant. Obviously, this is a chain restaurant so there's many of them all around the country So, indeed, you really aren't missing anything. But for what it was, it was actually pretty good, my friend had the sushi and I had the rice and shrimp. That's listed here. I wouldn't go back, I've definitely had far better. But again for the time being, it was all right.

    1. Chicken Teriyaki with Noodles
    Sharon L.

    I mean... let's be honest - you don't come to Sarku expecting top notch food by any means, but I think the standard should at least be mall-level good. This Sarku seems to just miss the mark on that. I mean, is it decent and edible? Yes. Could it be better? Oh, for sure. My boyfriend and I came here to grab a quick lunch & both decided on the chicken teriyaki. I ordered mine with noodles & his came with white rice. Portion sizes here are deceivingly big in photos, but really just enough to fill you up. I'm not a big eater by any means, and still managed to finish almost everything in the order. I'd note that the good parts of the order include the fact that they use actual lo mein instead of the flat thin noodles, and that there's a bit of a char on the chicken. I appreciate that they give a small extra container of teriyaki sauce on the side, because the noodles and chicken definitely needed it - it was a bit on the dry/blander side without it. But for $10 an order, it's overall pretty disappointing that the order doesn't really deliver. I was expecting some piping hot & charred chicken off their grill, and ended up with just-warmed through greasy chicken and noodles. The overall vibe of the inside is also just drab - there wasn't a single customer inside even during peak weekend lunch hours.

    It's good, it's cheap, it's teriyaki and basic Japanese food. It's fast and the employees are friendly, it's nice if you want something cheap and tasty.

    Chicken Bento
    Amber G.

    I wanna start off by saying the staff is very rude. When I walked in they all looked upset because it was 7:40pm and they close at 8pm. I told the cashier that I have a fish allergy and he said he can't give me any rolls. I told him I've gotten avocado and cucumber rolls from here before. He said no he won't do it. It's too much work for them to prepare a roll before closing. So instead he gave me an extra dumpling which didn't even taste good. The food wasn't fresh, it had a bad taste to it. Even the ginger was a different color and wasnt fresh. It's sad how that was my dinner that night and I didn't even want to eat it with every bite being depressing. Most likely not coming back here again, going to support local Japanese businesses instead of this rude chain that doesn't make fresh food.

    Shrimp tempura

    If I could give a zero I would I just ordered the 3 piece shrimp tempura appetizers and spring rolls. The tempura was rock hard and tasted like old cooking oil. Didn't even want to try the spring rolls. Clearly these tempura pieces had been made a while ago. Probably yesterday or even day before. The batter wasn't even tempura batter but something thicker adding to how hard it got. It arrived - no dipping sauce, no napkins or utensils. The bag wasn't even sealed. Terrible. Simply terrible. I wont be ordering here again. Don't waste your time people. Order from another Sarku or better yet another restaurant!!

    chicken, rice, broccoli and a roll
    Beverly G.

    If you like simple Asian food, then Sarku is the place. They have meat and fish combos, sushi rolls, dumplings, spring and egg rolls. I had the chicken combo with steamed veggies, white rice and a spring roll. It's lightly seasoned and fresh. The yum yum sauce was a total miss. It didn't compliment much. I would come again.

    a piece of food left in the oven

    RIDICULOUS! I have sensitive teeth and as I was biting into my chicken, a huge chicken bone cracks my teeth!

    Cute little lunch box place. Quick service. You order then they give you a buzzer for when your meal is ready. Food is fresh and cooked when you order. It reminds me of how a Japanese fast food place would be. My drink had a futuristic cap that drops a marble in your drink to activate it. Best part of my visit. Just finished eating and my sushi was fresh and well made.

    Quick and easy Japanese food. The bento box is a great deal, some items are a little pricey, like the sushi rolls But overall, can be a good value for the money

    Sarku Japan is a quick and easy fix if you're looking for a quick fast food meal. Always make sure to get the spicy/Yummy Yummy sauce!

    Mall food in a stand-alone store. Japan would be appalled if they knew this place had appropriated their name to sell low grade food.

    This place could not have been any worse. The miso soup was made from a freeze dried package just like making instant oatmeal.

    Popping into here passing through Merrick and what a hidden gem!!! Really cute Vietnamese…read morerestaurant, staff was really nice and helpful, simple seating, simple menu. We got the Kenko rolls, both were great! The peanut sauce it came with went great with the chili sauce on the table. The rock shrimp were like popcorn chicken in the best way, light, crispy breading, not oily at all. The filet pho was lovely, it's huge, tons of noodles, very light broth, ofc comes with the bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime - would recommend a pho and the fish bahn mi was also really good, the fish was really crispy but the star was the pickled carrot and radish side- so light and refreshing, went so well with everything!

    Decided to give this place another chance. I got their traditional bahn mi again. AGAIN, THERE WAS…read moreNO VISIBLE SIGN OF PATE INSIDE THE BAHN MI. Major disappointment. Traditional bahn mi has pate. Their menu even lists it. They couldn't have run out. I've been there a number of times and they never once put pate in there. Last time I've asked for extra pate and the guy asked what pate was. Such a rip off. Then I thought, let me try their pho. Their broth was fine as a Chinese noodle soup, mediocre at best, but it was definitely not pho. The noodle they've used was also not what authentic Viet restaurants use for their pho. Too many failures. Too many tries. Never going back.
