Volcano Sushi Roll
Laur L.

The sushi ingredients looked super fresh and the sushi is hand rolled on the spot. If you like maki style sushi rolls, you may want to get sushi from here. I also recommend anything from the Side Orders section of the menu; the chicken eggroll was crisp and the filling melted in my mouth. I know their teriyaki items are their bestsellers, although tbh I actually don't think they're the best things you can get here. If you do get it though, be sure to ask for extra sauce!

Double Me Chicken Teriyaki - so good!
Juanita S.

This is one of my favorite places to grab teriyaki chicken and great sushi! The great part is that I can use Uber Eats and get the same great service and quality of food, which saves me a trip to Brandon Mall. When I do go to this location directly, there's always a line but the service is impeccable. Stop by for a sample, but leave with dinner!

Chicken stir fry (not sure what happened to my open box pic)
Patrick S.

There's not much bad you can say about Sarku Japan. It seems to be a staple of the mall food court... I've had pretty consistent results at every one of these restaurants. I found myself in Brandon over the weekend and gave the Brandon store a shot. Good food. Fast, nice service. An added bonus, this restaurant takes good care of itself -- everything looks clean and fresh. You can't say that about every food court restaurant. I got the stirfry chicken with noodles. No Michelin Stars at this restaurant... But, it was good. Hot and fresh. You can't ask for much more for about 10 bucks.

I ordered a couple of rolls to go and enjoyed them! I had a sushi craving and saw Sarku on UberEats. I ordered the Rock & Roll, Tempura California Roll, and Volcano Roll. All three were delicious. The eel sauce was yummy and the spicy mayo awesome too. I would recommend their sushi!

vegetable delight $4 & 410 calories
Deke M.

I ordered the veggie delight meal for $4. Very large portion and cooked well. However, it was absent ANY flavorings of Japan-just cooked vegetables and white rice. I was looking for hints of ginger or soy even. No packets of flavor even. I also ordered a $2 spring roll which was larger than most and well-flavored, but it was unclear whether it was vegetarian and ticket came out with the word "chicken" on it. Also hard to understand behind masks and plexiglass from either side. I can't fault them on price, portion or speediness but flavor is important. They do make sushi rolls but no opportunity to judge this visit. I'm also left wondering why they gave it a name that is meaningless in Japanese and using the "r" with Japanese find difficult to pronounce. The place lacks authenticity to me based on this experience in a food court with 4 other Asian food booths.

Food is always good but this past time we ordered, there were 2 long hairs intertwined with my noodles and chicken. Not very appetizing.

While this restaurant is well known for its sweet desserts, I decided to try their bento box for…read morethe first time -- specifically the chicken bento box -- and I was pleasantly surprised. The box came well-assembled: white rice topped with teriyaki chicken, garnished with rice seasoning, a side of noodles also seasoned with rice seasoning, a salad with dressing, and two pieces of fried gyoza. The gyoza were the highlight for me -- crispy and quite good. Overall, the ensemble made for a satisfying, no-fuss meal. Simple, decent, and I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. The ambiance is where this place really adds some personality. One corner of the restaurant is dedicated to DIY painting activities, making it a great spot for creative types or families. On the other side, there are claw machines for those feeling lucky enough to win a stuffed toy. It gives the place a lively, playful energy that sets it apart from your average dining spot. Service was good. All in all, a fun place for an easy, enjoyable meal

First thing I noticed walking in was the painting pottery corner??? So precious. Looks like…read moresometimes they have figured you can paint and there's a whole section of DIY paint materials. Very cute addition. Makes it more of a "third place" vibe. Three claw machines at $1/play is dangerous too. I might have to try for a gengar. I got the iced latte and it was over $8 for a regular size which is wild but this is a dessert spot, not a cafe, so I'm not mad at it. It's very creamy. Tastes like melted ice cream (not a bad or good thing). Plan on trying dessert another time.

But this fried rice was so good. It seasoned perfectly with the fatty beef make that whole fried rice flavors were very rich. I got the Uni sushi and it was the sweetest and the creamiest thing I've ever had. The server told me that they get fresh Uni every week from Japan. I also got the sushi combo and they were very nice that they let me substitute tuna to more salmon because I personally don't like tuna. Everything was so fresh. Everything was so good even the water was very refreshing and did not taste weird. The server was very sweet and kind. She tried her best to cater us such as substitute my sushi she was talking to us and she's very likable. We will definitely come back and try other things. The Whole place was very clean and big.

Let's start with the ambiance. I have been at this location when it was previously another restaurant and the upgrades done are exceptional. Kanji is a perfect date ambiance. (bring a jacket though, it can get chilly). As far as service, I've never had bad service here, and the recommendations are truly to leave you satisfied, not just to pad the bill. THE FOOD. The spicy Tonkatsu, fried oysters, gyosa, fried rice...heck almost anything on the menu as been amazing and the Sushi isn't stingy. You might pay a little more but you get a lot more. Full bar selection and good bartenders are just the plus. Clean bathrooms, clean restaurant, great food, great service. Highly recommend.

Went with ramen Tokonstu my favorite, i swear it looks so massive in their bowls lol. Did the dinner special also with the rainbow roll and the dynamite roll. Took the ramen home and ate the rolls. I had a beer and that sent me to the moon lol i don't remember what my sister ordered hut it had a blooming flower of crab meat that look like cheese. Mom went a skillet, it was livid! Lol took about half an hour for it to be safe for her to eat. Cute presentation but order some side stuff whole it cools. Couldn't do dessert this time, due to my dieting i have trained my body to eat very little and high protein meals. Today was my cheat day. On the path of Keto. Sht works just trust the process. Guaranteed -1-2lbs a weeks 0-50 carbs a day n it just falls off by itself. 2+ if working out. I will be coming back later since im working more now that i can and om usually around here after work. I can just eat just the fish n side salads it be bueno. ***Would love to see a keto roll like; substitute the rice for riced cauliflower. The madam that had use was nice n attentive. very pleasant. It was nice and dimed but the music kept the other guest also happy. I am so glad this establishment is prospering cuz i really like their food a lot.

I am so glad I made a reservation here early, it was so busy! Granted this was the Saturday night…read morebefore Mother's Day so many families were out celebrating. It was just my Mom and I and we were seated at a hibachi table with 2 other parties. Our chef was amazing! I have been to many Kobe locations and he was THE BEST. He was extremely personable, funny, and had great tricks. He seasoned the food really well and made sure everyone was full on sauces. He really made the meal spectacular. This was my mom's first visit to Kobe and she only had Benihana to compare it to. She was impressed by the portion sizes and the fact that you also got noodles with the meal inside of just rice. We both ordered the shrimp hibachi meals and they were great. We both had so many leftovers to take home and have another full meal the following day. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was the extreme rushed feeling the servers provided. Each course was brought so fast and more off putting was the fact that after the chef barely finished cooking, they were bringing to go boxes to box up our food. It made it hard to enjoy the meal and company. I understand moving groups due to many reservations but this was too much.

We took my mom here for her 80th birthday and unfortunately the experience completely ruined what…read morewas supposed to be a special celebration. We were a party of five and arrived on time for our reservation. The restaurant decided to seat us with a very large party that clearly should have had a private area or separate seating arrangement. As we were eating, more and more people from that group kept arriving. There weren't enough seats for them, yet they were allowed to stand directly behind both their party and ours the entire time. What made it worse was that no one from the restaurant addressed it -- not the chef, not the waitress, no one. One of the men standing behind us repeatedly leaned over and ate food directly off the plates of his party. It was chaotic, uncomfortable, and honestly gross. We ended up rushing through dinner just to leave. Our waitress was actually very sweet and did her best, but she was clearly being disrespected and overwhelmed by that large party as well. The food itself was just okay, and the way large amounts of food were being thrown onto plates felt sloppy and unappetizing. Before leaving, we asked to speak to a manager. He apologized, acknowledged that the situation should have been handled differently, and gave us a $50 credit. While we appreciated the apology, it was never really about the money. We simply wanted a nice evening celebrating my mom's milestone birthday, and instead we left stressed and disappointed. Sadly, we will not be returning.
