    How do you explain this amount of wasabi and pickled ginger to a customer.  Unacceptable.  We do pay our money for the food.
    Cindy S.

    This place has really lost it's touch. When you buy sushi you expect the condiments to go with it. But Sarku Japan decided on their own to barely give you any, also they decided to not give you the dip for the dumplings in Bento box. Paying more for less. Very annoying.

    It was good, could have used more veggies in the fried ride. Add a soda and a roll to the bento box lunch special and you are at $10-11

    Newly opened at the Throgs Neck Shopping Center!

    歓迎 Which means "welcome" to Sarku to the Throgs Neck Shopping Center and our Nabe! It is nice to have more fast dining choices coming to us!! The chain is known for their fresh, made to order selection of Japanese cuisine such as all kinds of Teriyaki, bento boxes, all kinds of sushi and sides of dumplings, spring rolls, seaweed salad, edamame, miso soup, and a kids menu! I selected their Grand Opening special of Chicken Teriyaki with rice and mixed veggies all for $4.99, which was a generous amount in a nice take out box with sauce on top. Everything was fresh, quick and delicious! The Dining room was spacious and nicely decorated and the staff was pleasant and eager to serve me! Welcome Sakura and Arigatō for giving our nabe another good choice!

    This is a great spot to stop in for a quick bite after shopping. It's fast Japanese food, but it's still great and fresh for its price. They have good $8 bento boxes with beef teriyaki, salad, gyoza and 4 California rolls but no miso soup is included. Not bad for the price but at a nearby joint you can get real good beef teriyaki, miso, salad, gyoza and six California rolls for only $9. The menu is a little limited, but everything is fresh and tastes good. It's also very clean. Will definitely be returning.

    Shrimp teriyaki bento box

    Nice and convenient location from Target and other stores, plenty of parking. Decent customer service. I do recommend the bento boxes. Reasonable prices. However, the shrimp teriyaki needs more seasoning. The chicken teriyaki tastes good tho.

But this place completely knocked it out of the park. It far exceeded everything we anticipated. We were seated in a private booth, which made the experience feel even more authentic and intimate.

    I went here trying to look for good lunch deals, and given that it was near my workplace, I decided…read moreto go check it out. The actual space is pretty nice and gives a family restaurant in a good way. It was a little awkward with the waitresses, who seemed to be on the quieter side, but nonetheless, they were kind. I got the abalone in the ponzu sauce ($8) and the wagyu beef sukiyaki lunch set ($21). The abalone was actually really good, and as my first time trying something like that, it was well worth it. The wagyu set was also pretty filling and very much worth the price. It came with a salad, an egg soufflé, sliced lotus root, pickled ginger, and rice. The actual sukiyaki was light and slightly sweet, but refreshing. I love that they packed it with vegetables in the sukiyaki. They even give you a complimentary ice cream at the end of your meal. The only thing that docked a point for me was that one other table, and I was the only one present at the restaurant, and there were two waitresses, and I believe another man was working, not too sure what his role was. All three of them would continuously check up on the other table, whereas I would have to flag them down if I needed anything. I noticed them making small conversation with the other table, but they would not really speak to me. It felt a little weird, given that we were the only two tables and somehow they had three people check up on them, and I had zero. The servers were still nice when I flagged them down, but it was just a little strange to be given that treatment. I'm hoping it was just an off day, as I do want to go back and try the other items. The menu was extensive, so I'm really interested in seeing what the other items are like.

    Our daughter took us here while we were visiting NY for her graduation for Wagyu Shabu. I normally…read moredon't like places with many prices, but since our daughter chose it so we enjoy with her. The prices on the windows are very confusing and more like false advertising for me, the lower prices are for the members which we're not since this is our first time and definitely our last, unless our daughter wants to come here again. So the price is the more expensive one. For me, I prefer straight forward pricing, so this didn't give me good vibes, it's not the money, just the way they advertising and we have to know what we can only have with the price we chose. The restaurant just gives us the specific menu for what we selected to have then we don't have to be denied for what we chose because we selected gold instead of top of the line menu. The place is clean and nice. For $78/per person and only have Australian Wagyu Beef (not really Wagyu) then it's over priced. We did have some premium beef which I liked because of the marble of fat on the beef quite tender and tasty, but only a sampler or whatever they called it. Service with one person is quite inadequate but she's very attentive and pleasant, since she had to run the whole restaurant, sometimes forgets things. The tomato broth was good and everyone liked it. The seafood plate is OK and our sweet shrimps are sweet. Some snow crab legs, jumbo shrimps, fish fillets, nothing to make me go wow. The appetizers tempura is crispy and good. The raw octopus is tasty. The vegetables are fresh and clean. After they denied me the premium beef sampler, I let my daughter to order everything else and I just enjoyed with the family. My daughter seemed to be happy and ate a lot, so I was happy. I've eaten enough shabu, hot pot to know that Australian or American Wagyu are overrated, many of them are tough and chewy, not as tender as normal ribeyes or Brisket that I like. This restaurant Wagyu beef does have marbles of fat in it, so it's tender and not so chewy. So, for the GOLD menu, I don't think it's worth the $78 but for special occasions, it's OK. I just don't like the confusion of many menu, many prices, and not getting my own menu and get denied for something on the menu because I didn't pay enough.

    We went on a weekday with a party of 8 and had a 6:15 PM reservation. The restaurant seemed…read moreshort-staffed when we arrived, although it wasn't very busy. Service improved later as more staff came on shift. The beef was decent, and we chose the mid-tier menu. For the price--over $100 per person including tax and tip--the selection felt somewhat limited. I also wasn't a fan of sharing one large hot pot. I prefer individual pots, which I've had at same chain in California. The decor and service were both decent, but nothing stood out. We were split into two tables of four even though I noticed a private room that remained unused during our visit. Overall, the experience was okay, but I don't think it was worth the price.

It was three oysters, similar to Crown Shy except I wasn't a huge fan of the flavoring here. The nigiri sauce didn't really elevate the flavor of the oysters much as they're already a slightly salty food and a soy sauce sort of just added more salt to it. I think a bit more kick was needed to enhance the flavor profile. The handroll set was pretty good, I liked the spicy tuna the best, then the salmon and then the yellowtail the least. In order, I'd probably give the spicy tuna a 9/10, salmon 8/10 and yellowtail 7/10. However, the tiramisu was fantastic, one of the best tiramisus I have had, creamy, good notes of coffee flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Our server was also very friendly, she showed us how to properly eat the handrolls which was nice. The place also has a nice vibe to it, very relaxing and not too loud or overly grand.
