    Sooooo gooooooood! Teriyaki chicken (extra meat! and sauce!)
    Naoko M.

    I'm Japanese, born and raised in Japan. Okay that may not mean anything lol but I want to say Sarku's teriyaki chicken is THE best, BEST! The sauce is soooooo good, and the chicken is so juicy and tasty. I've been eating their teriyaki chicken since 1999 in Indiana, and their recipe hasn't changed at all! Okay, their fried/steamed rice isn't authentic... But I really don't care. 日本人の方も是非試してみて下さいね! 美味しいですよ! (ご飯と野菜は期待しないでくださいねー)

    Yummy yummy, chicken teriyaki! If you're in the Coral Ridge Mall food court, you will hear this when Sarku's has a sampler guy offering you chicken teriyaki. SO good. This is some good, mall food. The sauce is so yummy. I wish I could take their sauce home to put all over my food. The portion is ample, and the workers are fast and friendly! Besides the fact that they assumed I was Chinese at first... At least when they were corrected they said thank you in Korean :)

    Shrimp and Beef with fried rice!
    Dale B.

    It's freshly made in front of you which is more than I can say for their neighbors next door. The people are awesome and always full of energy. But we can't eat the people so let's talk about the food. I usually order chicken teriyaki which isn't bad at all. Today I ordered Beef and shrimp. I was thinking surf and turf in my head. I usually get the fried rice even though it's usually greasy and not so tasty. Switching to white rice next time. This place would be a four or five star spot if they just added more flavor to their dishes. Maybe a pinch of salt and pepper while prepping the meat. Other that it's a nice spot in the mall to get some okay teriyaki flavored meat.

Was a great deal for fast high quantity food. Today's visit went about as well as we could've hoped. We got to try all our old usuals and they were just as good as we remembered! The only real down side was the "shrink flation" of portions, but I'm not surprised given the all the changes that happened over the last 6 years. Oh yeah and one pandemic. Core memory... We got a lot of food to try and sample as much as we could (we usually do on a first visit to a place to see what we like and have more reasons to come back). The churro could've been warmer, but it was a good combination of crunchy and sweet which I was okay with. The burrito taco combo was great, though the spicy green sauce is what sealed the deal for me on it. Fries were 99 cents as a side, couldn't say no! Nice and hot when we got them! Yummy! Chips and queso was also good. Cheese was steaming hot! Quesadilla was massive! We added Pico but think we will ask for it on the side in the future. Breakfast burrito with bacon was as good as we remembered, but like mentioned before not as big. The Pina drink was pleasant. We will likely get it again. Tastes like pineapple! The automated ordering machine was nice in our case since we could look closely at all the options and take our time, but in the future I think I'll stick with talking to a person (which I think is an option for ordering? There is a drive through so for sure there is a way). Food came out promptly with minimal staggering. Our server was pleasant which is a plus these days. It was kinda empty and quiet inside which we don't mind, but if that kind of atmosphere is off putting to you, you have been warned. Though a train going by occasionally does break the silence quite dramatically. Also, the train. Don't forget about it if you are trying to grab a quick bite for lunch! We certainly will come back again for some comfort food and reminder of "good-O'l times"

This Coralville outpost is inside Coral Ridge Mall, right by Target and the carousel, making it an easy stop during a shopping run or post-movie snack craving. Service is typically fast and friendly, true to the brand's reputation. The team runs a tight ship, even during busy lunch rushes. The vibe is casual and family-friendly, with a steady stream of hungry shoppers, toddlers in tow, and teens grabbing nuggets between stores. The only real con? It's mall-only. No drive-thru, no standalone--so if you're hoping to swing by on your way home, you'll have to brave the mall crowd. Also, full transparency: one time, my friends and I did end up with some post-meal stomach drama, but that was once out of many visits--so it may have just been a one-off. Pro tip: mobile order ahead if you're in a rush--it saves time and helps you avoid the lunch hour line that can build fast. Can also order on DoorDash or ubereats as well. Closed on Sundays of course like all Chick Fil As. Great spot for a reliable bite while out and about! Maybe even go to the ice skating rink- probably before would be better on the stomach unless you find some time to rest :)

    Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with Cheddar's. I was looking for good food in Iowa City,…read moreand this place was highly ranked with solid reviews, so expectations were high. The ambiance was very nice with a large fish tank and cozy booth seating. Service was excellent--both the host and our waitress were very attentive and welcoming. The food, however, was where things fell short. I ordered the lemon pepper chicken with broccoli casserole and mashed potatoes. My father had chicken tenders, shrimp, and a loaded baked potato. He really enjoyed the potato and tenders, but said the shrimp was a definite skip. My broccoli casserole was extremely bland, the rice bed had uncooked crunchy pieces, and the mashed potatoes were just okay. The chicken itself was decent in flavor but unfortunately undercooked--still pink in the center. I didn't send it back but definitely should have. Overall, the service and atmosphere were great, but the food quality just wasn't there. I'll be skipping Cheddar's in the future.
