Wanted teriyaki chicken for dinner tonight and decided to have it delivered from Sarku Japan at…read moreValley 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.

Sarku Japan will always be a place that I know will have a solid quality of food to quantity ratio…read more Between the beef and chicken, I'd lean more towards the beef even though I usually prefer chicken because the sauce is just so good and makes it much juicier. The workers here are very friendly, and it's fun watching them cook the food in front of you. You can even ask them for extra sauce on top of the meat and rice and they'd gladly give it to you, free of charge.

However, it was entertaining to watch a bunch of chefs cook several orders of chicken teriyaki plates in front of us. I wish they would marinate the chicken ahead of time and add some soy sauce/seasoning to the vegetables. Casual ambience. The service was quick and easy with a 5-minute wait. There are many seats available in the food court since the mall is half empty.

Affordable and delicious!…read more I love that they cook the meat right in front of you. I always get the #1 chicken teriyaki that comes with steamed rice and mixed vegetables. Just $12.02 (including tax) and they really heap it on! Both meat and veggies are cooked on the teppanyaki, all made to order. Perfectly savory with a tiny bit sweet. My toddler loves it, and we are able to share one order and both be full after eating. Edit: I think the price may have gone up a bit recently. Still good value though.

This may limited to this location, but I recall when Sarku always had the longest lines because…read morethey were delicious. Today I got the chicken teriyaki- and boy have the standards fallen. Everything tasted bland. No seasoning on anything and I couldn't even taste any teriyaki. The veg are all soggy and bland, again not a lick of seasoning. I'd say skip this location unless it's the only thing open at the time

For refrence this will be my second visit to a sarku Japan (please refer to older reviews ) -…read morehowever this time was UNER EATS - UBER EATS exclaimer : I will not be judging this food based on how long it took to get it , sides that may or may not be avaliable , and or the temperature of the food . Not to say that anyone of those things are a problem. Just to be clear . I understand that every driver experience is different so this review can't possibly say for example : "the food was piping hot and every time I eat it , and it always is" considering the following . With that in mind we got the delivery sent to the intercontinental San Fran, and not only was it EXACTLY AS AWESOME AS THE LAST TIME I ate it , it's my new BAR for sushi in general . I will have to say , I do not EAT SEA FOOD OF ANY KIND , however this place accommodated with the chicken teriyaki rolls . I finally got to experience the seaweed the rice and the alvacado and I can now say comfortably that I LOVE SUSHI ! ( please don't judge ) This has opened the door for me to try oyster sauce and literally not even think twice and now they have set the bar to a level I don't know if anyone else can beat ! . To round out my review I will say the perfect kind of ambiance is looking over the city and hanging in the hotel while wolfing whole rolls in your face hole without anyone watching .

Ok, we were at a baby Party recently. The container was nice and kept the food hot for a very long time, which was perfect while I waited for my partner to get the ramen. But I felt a bit bad for using such thick plastic just once... The teriyaki chicken was good, the veggies were standard, and there was enough food for the price.

Known for their chicken teriyaki plate, that's been a go-to for me since the days I worked at the mall in the mid 2000s, til today when I need a quick lunch after shopping at target. While prices have raised over the years, $11 for a plate of teriyaki chicken, veggies and rice is still a solid deal. From a food court perspective, while not mind blowing, it's always consistent. Could it use some more sauce and seasoning, definitely, but ultimately, it does what it needs to do. Pro tips: pay the extra for a double portion of chicken for a more hefty meal, possible two meals instead of one. Also, when they're building your plate, definitely ask for a couple extra scopes of sauce on your food or else it'll be hella bland.

Mmmmmeh, it's alright, but needs some flavor. I had chow main with vegetables and chicken teriyaki…read more Sounds yummy right? But in all honestly it's lacking taste. I do think that the portions are very generous. Definitely enough for 2 people to share. Customer service was not good. The young girl at the register with the horribly drawn on eyeliner rolled her eyes (probably frustrated with me since I didn't know exactly what was what from the menu.) She looked very unhappy to be honest. I will complement the cooks for their quickness. My food was ready in minutes. I may come back. BUT hopefully a different experience and better taste next time.

It was mall food, so I had lower expectations. However I was still disappointed…read more It was fast and convenient. It was hot. The price was right. Sarku had the longest line of customers, which was honestly what gave me the vote of confidence to try it, but once I started eating, I realized that must have been because it was located in a prime location of the food court! For example, the salad was pulled straight out of a newly-opened plastic bag. It was some kind of spring mix. There was no washing, no tossing, and no dressing. It was just a handful of dry leaves placed on my paper tray. That wouldn't have been too terrible if everything else had flavor, but alas, that wasn't the case. We had to go back to the counter in search for packets of sauce...any sauce. The "teriyaki chicken" was "just chicken". There was minimal teriyaki flavor and pretty dry. The rice was cooked well though, so that was good. The dumplings were crispy and dry. In any case, my daughter and I were hungry and still ate most of it. Our favorite items were drinks from a juice cart down the hall though. Sorry, Sarku!
