Today I had an online/order on the App special. I asked if I could just get double veggies well done as my side for the teriyaki chicken and they said Yes, just give us the name your App order will be under and we will do that. They were so friendly and fast! There is no way to sub extra veg for carbs on the App. Or to ask for veg to be charred. So I got the special, which was buy 1 chicken teriyaki get one for $2.99, every Thursday in January. I had them add extra chicken, extra sauce and a side of hot sauce to one order. When I got it home I separated chicken from veg so I could brown and spice up the veg in the air fryer. I added chicken bouillon and mushroom dark soy sauce to the veg. It was very good. I left a cash tip for their hard work and friendly service. It was really tasty! read more

I ordered DoorDash yesterday 4/23/25 unfortunately had a negative experience due to a severe allergic reaction. However,shortly after eating,I began experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction. I understand that mistakes can happen, but allergies are a serious matter. I hope the restaurant takes this as constructive feedback to improve their food handling and staff training regarding allergens.For those with food allergies,im allergic to shrimp maybe the used the same utensils for the beef please be cautious.

Since covid they almost doubled their price and now the togo box is a lot smaller than normal.. Its a win win for them.. Pls dont support this company. most expensive chicken and rice fast food. read more

Sarku Japan is probably some of the freshest food that you can get in the mall as far as The Asian category. We ordered on door dash and the food came very quickly. They also followed my special instructions for extra sauce on the food and that was very much appreciated. The spring rolls were okay but the Yum Yum sauce was the worst I EVER tasted! It was so sweet that it reminded me of honey mustard so needless to say I didn't use it on my food at all. Our plates were loaded with noodles, rice and meat I was concerned because some of the reviews claimed to not get enough meat when we got plenty. For a quick fix this definitely came in hand. read more

I really try to avoid the mall haha, but I needed to find a graduation gift for my niece. After all that walking we stopped at the food court for lunch. We chose Sarku Japan since it's made fresh. I got the beef plate with soba noodles. I didn't see noodles on the menu so just ask for it if it's not up there. I could have just missed it. I love that they make your food fresh after ordering. There's always a long line, but it wasn't too bad being that it was also a Friday. My food tasted really good and was hot. I didn't care for the vegetables much. I'd like it better if they had options like steamed broccoli and carrot mix rather than just shredded cabbage. The noodles were good and have a nice chew to them, but I think I would get the rice next time instead. Overall, everything was good, not too busy or loud in the food court. I'll be back soon. read more

Sarku Japan - Beef plate with noodles - Japanese Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Sarku Japan is the standard mall fixture for all Japanese teriyaki goodness. This location is no exception. It had a line at around 2 pm when everywhere else had no line. It is my go to because for 6.99 you get a to-go-box full of chicken, rice, and veggies. Service is efficient and the food is tasty enough. You really can't go wrong. Eat here if you are hungry and looking for something quick. My only suggestions would to have chopsticks readily available in the silverware area along with Sriracha at the end of the line to drizzle over the food for those of us that like a little spice read more

Sarku Japan - Menu as of May 2019 - Japanese Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Sarku is the best place in the Food Court at the Orange Park Mall. Hubby and I eat here very, very often. You cannot beat the $8.00 price for 2 adults to eat and the food is yummy! We have always ordered the same thing: The Chicken Teriyaki with Fried Rice. We ask for double meat and this is more than enough for both Hubby and myself. Occasionally we do get noodles and rice instead of double rice and the noodles are very good also. As someone else mentioned, there's usually a line here, but it does move quickly. The employees are all friendly and everything is clean. The food is as good as the best Hibachi restaurants I have been to; the only thing missing is the show. read more

Unless I'm craving for something else but majority of the time I'm going to hit up for that delicioso teriyaki chicken. It never disappoints! read more

Sarku Japan - Double meat Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Get a lot of food for a good price and is delicious. The best Asian food in the mall for sure!

The chefs are funny and friendly and you get enough food for 2 or at least lunch the next day. I enjoy there Dumplings also with scrumptious Teriyaki Chicken double meat dump on the sauce!! You will now that entree cause everyone is ordering it before you! Mmmmmmmm read more

Sarku Japan - Chic Dumplings - Japanese Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

I'm not normally one to leave reviews but this is very frustrating. Covid has the orange park mall closing at 7pm now form it sold hours of 9pm which is a hit ridiculous on it own. But sadly Japan goes One up by closing 20 mins early every day. The malls open till 7pm you should serve food until then not 6:40 or 6:45. People are trying to patronize your business and your are making it hard. Today they claimed employee shortage I've been there 2 prior times and they were closed early and they have 5-6 people there. No excuse. Do better you already have shortened hours. read more

Nice portions. Fresh. Very reasonable. The food court was recently renovated. We went on a week day, so it was not at all crowded. read more

Sarku Japan - Chicken And Shrimp Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

I wish I could give this place zero stars..it was absolutely gross the rice was so cold and old, also the ratio of rice to chicken was ridiculous. I asked for more chicken and was told I had to pay more although, my meal had already cost me $13! Way overrated tbh read more

Been here many times and we always received a large portion, and very tasty. The Avenue's location does a poor job

There was a bug cooked into my food! I found this place online as i was on vacation and didn't know any restaurants in the area. Much to my dismay as I'm eating I notice the bug in my food that was cooked! I wouldn't recommend this place read more

I know what you're thinking. "Chris...this is mall food court food. Cmon is this even yelp-worthy." My answer: yes. I am surprised as you are. Most food court places have deep fried, fast food, and pizza that is dripping with oil. Not this place. They have an open flat-top grill where they prepare your chicken, steak, and shrimp in a quick hibachi style. The shrimp were a little small, but for $7.29 you really can't beat the deal. Comes with a side of rice and grilled veggies. Next time you are in the orange park mall, I would suggest dropping by. read more

Sarku Japan - Japanese Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Highly pissed waited in line for about 5 minutes only to be turned away 10 minutes Before closing just to come back by and see that three more people was able to be Served. read more

We always order the Chicken Teriyaki with fried rice and it is YUMMY! We always ask for double meat, as we share the meal and the regular portion of meat isn' quite enough for two. For those of you who don't like fried rice, make sure to ask for white rice when placing your order. The staff is kind and pleasant and the cook is very friendly when it comes to pouring the sauce! The price is very affordable at around $8 (that's without a soda). The line is almost always long, but the food is served quickly and it's well worth the wait!! read more

Fantastic. A little inconsistent with potions, but i love the place. Always ask for extra sauce. I always tip, so they tend to be a little more generous. Theres a reason there is always a line read more

chx teriyaki is the bomb! i have been coming here at least once a month for a few years now and it never gets old. My only complain is the amount of meat they give you is a lot less than before unless the fat cook likes you read more

Food used to be great But like the service It has gone way down, Shame been coming here forever when the teriyaki was less then 5 bucks now it's double that and taste worse and is by far not clean at all read more

It's always delicious food. At least the chicken teriyaki is... Fast, fresh and flavorful and easy on the wallet for the amount of food you get! Recently I finally tried the soba noodles instead of the rice combo. WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS SOONER?!?!? Adding double meat makes this a meal for two! read more

The absolute best mall food, ever. Chicken teriyaki double meat with 2 hot sauces. I love this mall food. Always a go too at the mall. read more

Sarku Japan - Chicken Teriyaki double meat with 2 hot sauces! - Japanese Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Our fav is the chicken teriyaki with double meat!! Can feed a family of 2 if not 3. It's our go to when we want yummy, quick and inexpensive food while at the mall. The chicken is cooked to order so food is piping hot. Kinda like Chinese food, it's slightly greasy so not something you would want to eat all the time but once or twice a month is ok. Staffs are friendly too. read more

I haven't been here in years. It actually tasted decent just a bit messy for me but that's what happens when someone is currently used to fine dining. Where are all the Asians nowadays? I didn't see one! Just dealt with a rude kid that definitely wasn't Asian. read more

Food is good but be careful when ordering. The person taking your order will try and sell you 5 extra things with your meal. They also will ask you if you want the included veggies with the Chicken Terriki but it's very hard to understand what they are saying so you may leave with part of your order missing. read more

It's mall food and that's how I'm judging it. Take that how you will. The staff is polite and efficient. There's always a line here no matter what time or day I go to the mall. Their food is flavorful and best of all, I can get white rice. I just don't like fried rice. No complaint on them for this at all. Their portions are far from stingy and never a judging look when you ask for more yummy-yummy sauce. lol read more

They are very lazy and want to get out of there as soon as possible. They are suppose to close at 7:00 I've come to factotum at 6:45 twice now and they tell me they are closed. The Asian lady at the cashier says we closed before I even approach all the way. I asked what time y'all close knowing they close at 7. Her exact words were ummmmm now. And then she added we ran out of stuff as I see the chefs clearing the food from the grill. She must think I'm a dumbass. They need to close at their normal said time like every other restaurant. I have worked fast food restaurants and know how it goes. That is just pure laziness. read more

I have been to this one many times. Used to go to the one in The Jacksonville Landing till they shut down. Saddest day ever for me. Well I really enjoy this food. Teriyaki Chicken with white rice and vegetables is my favorite. You can change it up with beef and added shrimp. They also have mushrooms on some meals, but I think that's with the beef. Price is just right below and the meals are always hot. Made fresh. Delicious and worth every penny. Would probably eat this everyday and never cook if I didn't love other types of food. read more

We often visit the mall usually for the play area for my kids but we always stop for the teriyaki chicken and shrimp with fried rice and double meat. It is enough for me my fiance and my 2 year old to share and still be hapoy and full. The lone is always long which if course is aggravating but the cooks do well about gwtting food out quickly. My fiance even has his favorite cook there who is just above and beyond. But I dont know his name. We will keep coming back to the mall just for the food here. read more

After all the rave reviews and the long line at the food court we thought this place must be great. I think maybe we came on an off day but YUCK!! Ordered the chicken and shrimp, with fried rice and veggies (which was 90% cabbage). The chicken hmmmm I'm not even sure it was chicken was a weird texture and taste and the order smelled like ammonia. The tiny shrimp was rubbery and not edible. My husband ordered the same and opted for double meat, double mistake. The tables in the food court are not kept up, so you basically are cleaning someone else mess so you can have a place to eat. Our meal was tasted, pushed around, and then thrown in the garbage - waste of time and a waste of money. read more

It is great food. Most of the cooks know me. I am in here at least once a week, but Friday afternoon I was here and the cook that was doing the vegetables, beef or shrimp was caught by me doing something that needs to be addressed by management. The guy was white, about 6 ft tall. Sorry, do not recall his name. It started with an A. He reached above his head and had his hands resting on the vent hood. Since this is not a clean surface, I told him to wash his hands. Not even 2 minutes later, he puts his hands right back up there. He washed again, but I think the health dept or manager needs to watch him. read more

Man, If there is one place I'd recommend to eat at when you're hungry after shopping at the orange park mall, It would be Sarku Japan. This place is amazing, food is ready on time, and It's delicious. I had the chicken teriyaki with double meat like my dad and my younger brother. It was excellent. I am never going to another place besides this one in the mall when I get hungry. This place is the best. I would totally recommend this place to you guys. You are in for a treat. read more

For a quick bite with guaranteed leftovers... They are my choice. I get their chicken teriyaki with steamed rice n veggies. Doublemeat? Yes please...lol Their Chicken n Shrimp meal is awesome too. read more

I like this place a lot. It's definitely one of my "go to" places in the mall. I hardly change up what I want from there tho. It's almost always Chicken Teriyaki. Because it's soooooo good. Sometimes I think about it way too often. Also, it's so good that when I do break my diet with a double meat chicken teriyaki, I don't regret it. read more

I love this place! I think the one at the avenues is better, but this is definitely my favorite spot in either food court.

This place is good and fresh and every time you buy they give you a punch card. Once you've been 5 times the 6th ones free. A friend of mine recently brought it to my attention that you can do 1/2 fried rice 1/2 soba noodles for $1 extra. That's what I get every time now. Wanna add mushrooms...+ .50 . Food is always piping hot and fresh. Can't beat it for the price and the amounto f food you get!!! read more

I've been Sarku'n since my Aladdin Castle days. Always been my go-to when it comes to mall food and hasn't yet to disappoint. That chicken teriyaki doe!! read more

I Would Never Eat At This Place Again And I Don't Reccomend Anybody To Eat Here Me And My Family Visit This Place Today Around 4pm And We Ordered The Normal Teriyaki Chicken And As I Was Feeding My Son I Seen A MAGGOT On The Stem Of The Broccoli And As I Searched The Plate To See If I See More I Found 2 Additional Maggots . I Am Sick To My Stomach Right Now And Very Disappointed read more

There is always a line in this place waiting to get some teriyaki. Despite the line they are very quick with food prep. Great portion for good price. Definitely recommended read more
