I've been eating nigiri sushi since the late 1970s in Northern California where I live, so I'm used to a wide choice of good sushi restaurants available.

He tells me he's not our server. Then he asked me what plates to clear, and I pointed to the big stack in front of me which he begrudgingly took. Then he turned around and kicked the door to get into the kitchen. Horrible attitude and rude. He was a young kid probably 20 at most, so I'm not sure what his role was in the restaurant. The food is also way too salty. I had the fillet and chicken combo and it was almost inedible. I think Sushi is a way to go because that was much better than the hibachi.

Since then we have had the privilege of eating at some amazing places all across the world including many Michelin starred restaurants. When we came back to Appleton, we wanted to try this place again to see if we still thought it was good. It is. It's not the best sushi I've ever had but it is more than passable for a place in Appleton WI. Bit too much rice in the nigiri but fish was generally very good. Uni wasn't as delicious as other places in bigger cities but again, for where it is, it's very good!

The waitress was very polite. She took our drink orders and made a great suggestion. We also had Sushi and hibachi. The sushi was very good, made fresh, and incredibly flavorful. There are even a couple new rolls in the menu. The only downside to the sushi is that three of us ordered and it all came in one platter. This is fine at a table, but inconvenient at the grill. The chicken hibachi was done well. The chef did the normal show. One thing I liked was that he added a bit of garlic to the fried rice. Nice touch. Portions were large and even had some to take home. Overall a good visit.

Love their sushi. I get the veggie rolls. Sweet potato and AAC. They are delish. 10/10 recommend.read more

I was introduced to this place 6 years ago. I was starting a new job and was here with a peer from…read moreCalifornia(I am from Florida). We were told this was the best sushi the person who reffered us had ever eaten. Challenge accepeted! We both agreed it was excellent sushi and I have been back every time I have been in Appleton since, except when they were closed due to Covid. This time I was there with a different co worker. We decided to order Tuna Tartare and 3 rolls. We had the popper roll, dragon roll and another that I cannot remember the name of. Each was different but equally good. We also had a salad, your typical japanese salad with ginger dressing. The dressing was better than most. The rolls are huge, I don't know how someone without a big mouth can eat a piece. 3 rolls and the tartare was more than enough for the 2 of us. I have to say that this is in fact the best sushi I have eaten throughout the U.S.

We've been here several times before but today was disappointing. We got two salmon maki (and a…read morefew other things) and there is so little salmon in it.

Through the years though, Sarku Japan have gone downhill. They no longer char the meat, provide steamed carrots and broccoli, provide hot chili oil, or the ability to select your own eating utensils. Yes, they give you one fork per order. No napkins either. Primarily chicken thighs are used for the chicken teriyaki order. I haven't had any other meats. The dumplings are subpar. Double meat is an option but I never do. You can also ask for more sauce, without extra charge. Fried rice is $.50 more. The meal is huge enough to share. At $10 a pop, it's a cheap and fulfilling lunch. I personally find this at a better deal than most restaurant at this mall.

The pork eggrolls were extremely crispy and the filling was delicious, their pork buns are out of this world. The bun was super fluffy and the pork had amazing texture and flavor. I can't wait to come back here and try more items off the menu (granted it'll be hard to order anything else since what I had was so great)! This is such a wonderful little gem, just YUM on every level.

Flavors were okay but very muted across the board. Not quite spicy and scale is very mild. Seasoning also mild and the actual Thai flavors are muddled across the board.

Could accommodate larger groups of tables pushed together. There is a bar. Our service was subpar. Seemed like he hated his job or maybe just monotone. Either way, he fumbled around getting our order and then seemed to struggle to keep up with his tables. Unfortunately, likely not coming back since there are other options in the area. Happy eating!

There's nothing fancy about the little location that has 8 tables but the food was good and served quickly. You can see the sushi being created as it's right next to the checkout counter. The prices were about what you would pay for sushi anywhere else in the area. We had the chicken fried rice, a rainbow roll, spicy tuna roll and a Philly. The only thing I didn't like was the chilly breeze every time someone opened the door. I intentionally chose a table that was not close to the door but it was still chilly. I feel like the interior could use an update, but it appears that a lot of their business is pickup and delivery so I'd suspect that's not a priority for this business.
