    Located inside Willowbrook Mall, this Sarku Japan is conveniently located in the food court of the mall and satisfies my mall chicken teriyaki cravings. I've been here twice in this month so far. We got the chicken teriyaki both times and the staff were all friendly. They asked if we wanted extra sauce and when we asked to have 3 scoops of the sauce, they were accommodating! The chicken teriyaki is just such a classic and tastes a lot better when you get extra sauce so it can be mixed in with the rice and vegetables as well. It's a quick grab and go situation and there is plenty of seating available in the food court.

    Have been coming to SARKU JAPAN in the Willowbrook food court for ages! It's a quick service restaurant chain. Always enjoy the different teriyaki dishes. Yesterday's Beef and Shrimp Teryaki was $10.49. Totally worth it!!! Sarku does have daily food specials. In addition, Sarku offers various beverages. My fav is the Snapple Peach Ice Tea! Sarku offers bento boxes, tempura and sushi rolls. Since COVID, a plastic partition completely surrounds the service area. Got to give SARKU 5 Stars for Great fast food and customer service!!!!

    When you come to Sarku Japan in the willowbrook mall, it can get really busy and have long lines. On the right side on the cash register is where they cook hibachi, the food portions are huge. You could definitely spilt a meal. When i want to eat something light i go for the sushi. The left side of the cash register is where you wait for the sushi order . I usually go a for special roll because they have more flavor than the tuna roll that they make there. I recommend the red bull or rainbow roll. The only con is that their is only one register.

    Decent lunch place until I saw food safety violation

    -What do you want? -Hmmm...today's chicken lunch special. -Ha? -(I know my English is decent, so I start reading the sign over her head). Teriyaki chicken please. -Do you want rice and vegetables? -(Hmmm... The sign says "with rice and vegetables". So I guess I am still sane) Yes, please. That is my typical lunch order here, at least five times in the past two weeks. I like the decent lunch special. The chicken is tender and not too salty, although they do not give you a lot. I was trying to find excuses to try other vendors but my laziness glued me here. Things changed last Wednesday. One thing of cooking on iron is that the grease are routinely scrapped and removed from the surface after each batch. The cook appearingly was not happy about so much disgusting grease on the collection tray. He used the cooking spatula to clean the tray and made it shining again. nothing is wrong here until he went back use the same spatula to stir fry the chicken. It is a vomiting scene. I am sure this is just an isolated incident.

To You BOTH

    Chicken Teriyaki with Vegetables and Fried Rice

    Yum! Always a go-to stop while at the Willowbrook Mall. Pretty consistent with their food for the most part. I always seem to get the same thing- chicken teriyaki with noodles instead of rice and no vegetables. Tip: Always ask for extra sauce when they finish making yours- definitely worth it! My boyfriend got half chicken and half shrimp teriyaki with fried rice and vegetables and he enjoyed his as well. Good portion for the price. Will be back when at the mall!

    Came here so many times, I lost count. Since high school I came here. I will always remember this place because this was the first place I bought lunch with my first debit card. It will always be in my heart. 1) The chicken teriyaki is great. 2) The price is reasonable. 3) The food comes fast. 4) They always give free samples.

    THIS was considered extra meat! I don't want to even imagine if I didn't ask for extra. These people are robbing us of our portions.

    When I go to a food court at a mall, I always seek out Sarku. It is consistent with the food quality.

As far as the food goes, my husband and I both agree that it's good and worthy of a re-visit in the future however, it wasn't blow your socks off! I got the chicken ramen and I literally got two pieces of chicken in my ramen....i was definitely expecting more than that. My husband got the chicken chashu and he said it was a solid option. I want to be so clear that this five star review is based off of our fantastic server, Yosef. He was so friendly, so personable and an overall pleasant worker! He made conversation with us and made sure we had everything we needed to have the best experience. Nowadays, people are so unfriendly and just there to collect a check. JINYA, you are very lucky to have a worker of this nature! Thank you for making our dinner a great experience. We will gladly be back in the future to try another dish and hopefully get the same wonderful customer service.

    Food was very good and large portions of the ramen bowl. Reasonable prices $20 per large dinner…read morebowl. Restaurant is LOUD so difficult to have any dinner conversation. Place was half empty when we sat and ordered, yet food took about a half hour to arrive. Manager was helpful to get the food out of kitchen- eventually! Don't stop here for a quick bite.

But who cares about that right? Let's get to the food. Everything on the menu sounded and looked delicious but we were most intrigued by the kaisendon and the hitsumabushi. The Mentaiko spaghetti as well -- which was unlike any other Mentaiko spaghetti I've had before ! Everything was so delicious, fresh, and full of umami. Our favorite dish was definitely the hitsumabushi, which you can enjoy 4 different ways.

Here's the breakdown: Service: 10/10. Huge shoutout to Richard and Christine--they were ridiculously polite and took great care of us. Plus, they brought out a complimentary birthday dessert with a candle for my daughter, which was a sweet touch! BYOB: The ultimate MVP feature. Bring your favorite drinks and pretend you're saving money on the overall bill. The Food: Suburban Japanese with a fun fusion twist. Don't expect strict Tokyo traditions, but everything was very solid. Portions & Pricing: Portions aren't huge, and the prices lean high. But honestly, knowing most of the ingredients are imported straight from Japan makes the price tag fair. Quality costs! The Vibe: Cozy and nice, though definitely on the smaller side--so keep the guest list intimate. All in all, high-quality ingredients, fantastic service, and a great neighborhood spot. Worth the splurge!
