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.

Chicken and shrimp teriyaki with a Peach Snapple :)

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!!!!

Red bull roll.

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
Nicole R.

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.

Had a nice date night with my hubby here for early dinner and it was a pleasant experience. I…read morereally like the vibe in this place. The bar is super nice, the presentation is really there. 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.

I wouldn't hold it against you if you eyed me with suspicion when I said:…read more "It's in a strip mall, next to an Applebee's but... it's great!" "It's my new favorite ramen joint. My last favorite was in a food court inside of a mall!" "It feels like it's the next evolution in the Tommy's Tavern-Tio Taco's takeover of high-quality spots all across our great state!" (But each statement is said, and meant, with sincerity.) It's large (high ceilings adding to the 'wow factor'). It has a great look and vibe. The entire staff are profusely positive. As for the ramen... the broth was chock-a-block with flavor and veggies and noodles and a whole array of goodies (black oil, crispy garlic nubs, creamy tofu, you name it). The Mrs. (who is the real connoisseur when it comes to ramen, I'm just a wannabe) thought the portion was a bit on the 'wimpy' side (for the price) but I was content. (We arrived at the tail-end of happy hour, so maybe I was a bit more forgiving since the bill wasn't as bad as it could've-would've been.)

I've had this spot saved in my bookmarks for so long, I'm so excited I finally got to come here!!…read moreReservations are easy and they allow cancellations for at least 4 hours before without a fee. 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. Staff are all so kind and sweet and explains everything to you thoroughly. 10/10 recommend and 10/10 will come back!

Came here to celebrate my birthday with family. Giving this a 4.5 and looking forward to coming…read moreback again! Really liked the mushroom salad. It had lots of lotus chips and greens...delicious! We also got the assorted tempura which was good - the dipping was came out very warm - so it was a nice addition on a windy cold day. The sabazushi was a bit too fishy for me. We tried both the Eel and the wagyu bowl sets between 4 people. I liked the wagyu more than the eel but mixing it was a bit rough. I'd recommend mixing the egg yolk with the rice and then adding the wagyu pieces back in. The service was well timed for our food and things came 1 after another. Unfortunately, they sold out of the matcha mochi the day we went so we opted for the mango parfait instead. It tasted ok but I would have rather had the mochi instead.
