Wanted teriyaki chicken for dinner tonight and decided to have it delivered from Sarku Japan at Valley Fair. I've been eating at Sarku at various malls for many years and can almost always depend on having a good meal. I had the standard chicken teriyaki with mixed vegetables and steamed white rice. I was pleasantly surprised to see it came with an extra container of sweet teriyaki sauce, which I don't remember ever receiving previously. Overall it was delicious, except a few of the chicken pieces were overcooked and chewy. The extra sauce came in handy (would have liked even more) and I thought the mixed veggies and rice were well cooked. It was a decent sized meal that filled me up. read more

This place is my go to when I'm here shopping at the mall. The portions here are huge at a very decent price. Me and my hubby will sometimes split a chicken teriyaki plate and share it as long as I don't douse it in chili sauce. The lines can get long but it moves fairly quickly because they are cooking teppanyaki style. Tender, juicy meat over rice, you can't go wrong ! read more

8.2/10 Got the Chicken Teriyaki with double chicken and double veggies, and I opted out of the rice. The chicken was cooked well and the veggies were fresh and nicely done. Portions were generous, and I felt full and satisfied after the meal. That said, I'd honestly recommend getting the rice, it would've absorbed the teriyaki sauce and added more texture to the dish. Even without it, I really enjoyed the meal and will definitely be back. Service-wise, there was a long line but it moved quickly. It's located in a food court with plenty of seating, and everything was clean and well maintained. read more

The foodcourt can be overwhelming with all the different options, yet Sarku Japan always hits the spot. You will encounter somewhat of a long line, but it moves fast and I take it as an indicator that you made the right choice. It is difficult to find another place with the same portions, price, and quality. read more

Yummy Teriyaki! I stopped by Sarku Japan while I was at Westfield mall. They are located in the food court on the second floor. Didn't really know what to eat that's a slam dunk, so I thought I'd tried chicken Teriyaki as it's one of my favorite dishes to eat. And wow, I hit a jackpot! This chicken Teriyaki was so flavorful and tender that I wanted to get another one to take home. The chicken was cut in little pieces, that I like, as it makes it easier to chew and eat. But one of the best parts is Sarku Japan is not stingy when it comes to serving size so the price is a good value! I will definitely return again because of the yummy chicken and the generous serving! The only negative part is I live in the east bay! But will definitely return again whenever I'm in San Jose! read more

Here is my two cents on the quality quantity in price of my order.... It was delivered by GrubHub in a timely manner... thank you GrubHub... This is the first time me eating. Sarku Japan... they were offering buy one get one free of teriyaki chicken.. plus I also bought two egg rolls .. The egg rolls were satisfactory, but they are only medium hot, not very hot temperature wise.. I also requested extra chicken and they gave me lots of extra chicken. I was impressed... they also gave me without asking soy sauce, but I also asked for hot sauce in which they complied... I also requested fried rice... I thought the fried rice was a little bit on the west side but as far as flavor goes, it was very good! For the price, including delivery I thought it was an excellent mail and you definitely should try it.... read more

I get this often when I want a quick lunch break during shopping. It's a decent quick meal. They make the food on a grill and have most of it ready. Only time you have to really wait is during the lunch and dinner rush. The go to dish is teriyaki chicken. I tried the others (shrimp and beef) it wasn't that good. You can swap rice for noodle (+0.80) which I always do. I also recommend getting extra sauce. Just ask for it at the end. The downside is that the veggies are always soggy as it's frozen veggies. It's not the best but a decent quick and affordable meal. read more

Sarku Japan has been a go to comfort food since elementary school, one of my fav mall food places for sure. I remember when they used to do the samples of teryaki chicken on a mini uncooked pasta . This place gives so much nostalgia. I recommend the noodles option over the rice. What I love about this is how simple this dish is and you can get your source of protein, carb and veggie in one dish. The food still is banging and its still super affordable. It is a plus that it can be eaten in 2 meals unless you're a big eater! The service is super quick. Would be back for a quick easy cheap meal. read more

By far THE BEST Sarku Japan location when it comes to quality and taste!! Believe me, i've pretty much had it all and NOTHING COMPARES. If you don't want to take my word for it, the continuous long lines should speak volumes. Portions are big, granted we always order 2 types of protein vs the typically 1. I always make it a habit of paying a bit more to substitute the typical steamed white rice for fried rice or noodles. Food is always delivered piping hot, cooked on the spot, & although the veggies may be extremely over cooked in my eyes but they are always fresh. Be advised that the veggies are legit strictly steamed with absolutely no seasonings not even a sprinkling of salt!! 4 stars. This is probably 1 out of 2 regular eateries I religiously return to @ VF's food court. The cost is reasonable factoring in the amount given & food tastes good- what's not to like?? read more

This is usually the place I go to everytime I go to this mall due to affordable prices since it's considered fast food and also the quality of the food. Not really authentic Japanese food, but this is good for coming by if you're hungry. Also the fact that the amount of protein of meats are probably high due to serving large portions. The taste of the chicken is alright, but vegetables taste kinda bland. I will still eat here though. read more

For a joint in the mall food court, Sarku was really good and fresh food. Very reasonably priced as well. Food is cooked to order with a selection of sides. The noodles, rice and chicken fro my entree were very tasty and perfectly cooked. The only thing is that it is loud in there and can be hard to hear the person taking your order.

In food court at mall, next to pizza my heart. Ambiance is ok for food court. Quick and clear ordering. Service was helpful! We got 3 total teriyaki chickens, all with extra chicken, 2 noodles 1 normal white rice. Took home to eat. Very decent quality and flavor. Sure some chicken pieces a little over cooked but not over greasy or over salty. Rice was well cooked but not mushy. Noodles very soft and chewy. Of the 2 I prefer the rice. Portions are decent and you get some veggies in there too. Overall our favorite place for mall food and will be back again. read more

This is an amazing choice for high protein and filling food at the mall. A chicken teriyaki dish only costs around ~12 and it comes with steamed veggies, rice, and chicken. You can also request to do more veggies and less rice at no cost. If you want extra protein, I recommend adding an extra serving of chicken as they add a large portion of it for only $2. It's a great cheap option to have some hibachi grilled chicken, and it's really flavorful and delicious too. I love how the veggies are steamed meaning there's no extra calories from oil and seasonings. Definitely a good option for those that are cutting, and even bulking too! Not much to say about service, you order quickly and your food is prepared right in front of you. Cashiers have always been great and helpful with my orders. Store seems to be generally clean. read more

This is my first time eating here and the line was pretty long to order food compared to the others around in the food court. I really enjoyed my food, I ordered the teriyaki chicken and substituted the rice for noodles. The shredded veggies mixed with the noodles and chicken was a great mix. It all tasted good, but the teriyaki flavor was subtly. I thought that the portion size was really good. The only complaint I had was that the food container was really hot when I got it and to take it to the seating area was kind of dangerous since it was hard to carry when it was really hot. It's been a while since I ate at a food court type of setting in a mall, but wasn't there trays for this kind of thing?! Carrying shopping bags, hot container and water was a near fiasco. read more

Sarku locations are always good. They have great service and for the price, the best Japanese food available. You can get a very tasty meal for less than McDonalds charges for a meal, but you get real food. This particular location is inside Westfield Mall, so it's inside a very nice food court. The workers here are very fast at taking your order and getting it ready. They cook the meat right in front of you and therefore it's very fresh. This particular location seems to have really good chicken. Its cooked to near perfection. read more

Excellent mall food. I usually opt for the chicken and rice but lately I've been obsessed with their noodles. They are so bouncy and chewy. My gripe is sometimes they can be inconsistent with the amount of chicken they give you, for example I bought two plates at once and one had more chicken than the other that it was noticeable. They are also a little skimpy on the steamed vegetables. Other than that I enjoy the teriyaki here. Be sure to ask for more sauce! read more

I reminded the cashier that I gave him $20, and made the gesture of what happened. The cahier pointed to the counter. I showed him everything in my hands: the chopsticks, the fork/napkin and the receipt - no changes of $7.98, and the empty counter top. The cahier finally gave me $7.98.

I love the concept of fast-food Japanese teriyaki. When I lived in Utah for two years I had something similar that was absolutely delicious. So was nice to see something similar here in San Jose (which I'm not very surprised of). Sarku Japan is located in the food court of Westfield Oakridge Mall. A busy food court where you have to hunt down for a table to enjoy your meal. Ordering is fairly easy and their menu is not extensive. I went and ordered the #1. Chicken Teriyaki that comes with white rice and healthy side of vegetables. You also have the option to substitute for fried rice or noodles for an extra charge. The dish, overall, was great in presentation but lacking in flavor. I tasted more water if anything. Chicken was cooked and charred beautifully but had no taste. The teriyaki sauce was there but also lacked in flavor. The dish needed more seasoning and probably some sriracha to make it more tasty. The vegetables were a nice touch and give the dish some freshness to counteract all the oil and richness. Portion size and price is fair. Will come back again and give it another shot as one experience shouldn't be a deciding factor on a location. read more

IMHO There is always a long line for Sarku. That is a good sign. Prices seemed reasonable and I love bento boxes. My friend ordered the "No. 1 Bestseller", chicken teriyaki, ($8.69) and I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, ($10.35). My bento box came with 3 small gyoza, 4 small pieces of sushi, and sauteed veggies. Food was hot and could've been slightly more flavorful, but it still satisfied the hunger. We both left with leftovers. read more

There are other businesses and each one has at least 2 reserved parking spots. It's a small interior that's homey, welcoming, and great decor. We were sat immediately when we walked in on a Saturday around 1:30 pm! Service was quick and we got our rolls after 10 minutes. I got the mango crunch roll, and it was standard in price and portion. Good execution of presentation, the mango was in season and sweet which added so much flavor on the salmon. Good sushi experience!

Food: Salted Saba bento 3/5…read moreThis is a pretty straightforward bento. I wasn't too big of a fan of the gyoza so I'd recommend replacing it with tempura when you order. The gyoza is fried well but the fillings is mushy. Miso soup and salad comes with the bento. The Saba was dry but the portion of fish they gave is pretty generous! Service: Service is friendly but slow. This could have been because I came with a large party though so that could have affected the service times. They did end up forgetting some orders at the table but since there was only one server at the time, handling the entire restaurant, it's understandable. Ambiance: Pretty cozy. Japanese decorations here and there.

And make sure you read the details and filter out the ones with few reviews to account for biasing by friends of the owner and workers. Called in togo order for last minute dinner guests. 2 bentos, 3 rolls. Sat at sushi counter waiting for order to be completed. Upon sitting received angry glare from the grill cook who had the demeanor of a WWE Wrestler. There are 2 cooks, one does sushi wearing gloves. The other is a line cook manning the grill. The wrestler. He is unsanitary. Doesn't glove and doesn't wash hands. Handles raw meat with bare hands then without washing goes to prep bentos transferring bacteria to the serving dishes while plating. Waited for 15m. The rolls were done and one bento was done. Heard a discussion between the cashier and wrestler about there were 2 ribeye bentos and he gave one to me. The wrestler got visibly angry and rescinded the order. He could have cooked one up in 3-5m. He declined and refused to do anything. Make people wait. He went to the back out of view; I assume to a toilet break. I asked for a refund so I could leave. No response. 20m later he appears from the back and has another discussion with the cashier. Now it is clear I am being punished for existing and sitting at the sushi counter waiting for an order to be prepared. . Pretty sure there was a load of feces and and E Coli being transferred to my to go order as an additional punishment. Saw a low grade piece of meat being dropped onto the grill. Never seen a ribeye like that. Seems like a low quality piece of meat. Sinew and thin with layers of sinew interspersed throughout the slice. I just paid 97$ to these people. Asked for a refund again for the missing item. Was clear it wasn't waiting for food to be prepared. Health risk. Low quality fish. The tuna they use is reformed and food coloring is added to give it the tuna color. stomach ache the next day. mild food poisoning.

IS. DELICIOUS! The first time I had Leichi, I wanted to go back the week after because it was that good. Service (with reservation) is always on point and food comes out quick. The waiters are welcoming and open to answering any questions. My favorites are the tempura octopus, homemade tofu, cold duck soba, black cod, hojicha panna cotta, and assorted sushi. They ship their fish from Japan, so it's always high quality and fresh. The sashimi is literally melt in your mouth. The housemade tofu is fresh and has the rich soy flavor. My boyfriend isn't a big tofu guy, but even he loved it. The black cod is cooked with sake and a must try! Their ginger ale is housemade with their ginger syrup. I'm always grabbing two cups whenever I go! The hojicha panna cotta is rich, creamy, and always a great end to any meal.

Nothing was off, but nothing really stood out either. The sashimi was fresh and the grilled fish was cooked well, though the flavors and presentation didn't quite leave a lasting impression. It felt like everything played it a bit safe. Service was the highlight. Our server was attentive, checked in at the right moments, and made sure everything was taken care of without being intrusive. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a quiet, easy meal, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for just yet.

Waiter promptly sat us down and had us peruse the menu while I serviced the other patrons. He gave us adequate time to decide what we wanted. At first I thought sushi but it's been awhile since I had poke. I've always had poke from small restaurants and never the fine ones. Once I had their Poke Don, I can't forget how sumptuous it was with the fresh fish mixed with the sweet sauce sitting on a bed of white sushi rice, sesame seed and furikake. I give it 5 stars! It was a week ago that I lunched there and I finally had the chance to give my review. I saw that it was temporarily closed. I checked their website and they are moving to Mountain View in October 2025. No address given. Hope the owner updates the Yelp page on the new address. I would love to have their poke again and try their sushi dishes.

The tempura was lightly crispy and perfectly cooked. The.Udon noodles were cooked perfectly. They were nice and chewy and not mushy. The vegetables in the udon refresh as well. The vegetable croquet curry was good as a girl. Although personally, I like the curry to have a stronger curry taste. But it was good. Servers were very good. They are attentive but not overbearing.
