Talk about getting your money's worth! This place PACKS their meals at an affordable price. Every meal is made to order and uses fresh, high-quality ingredients. I like that its kind of like fast-food but the quality feels "healthier" for a mall food court option. read more

We went to Great Mall on Sunday and wanted to try this place. It definitely was giving nostalgia vibes for when I used to work in the mall and would get Sarku for lunch! As nostalgic as it was, the food was just ok. They do give a lot of rice and veggies but I was hoping for more protein - I feel like there was barely any shrimp added to my Chicken & Shrimp plate. However, it was still relatively cheaper than going to a restaurant. I think this plate was about $13. I'm surprised they didn't have napkins to grab - only the napkin that comes in the plastic with the utensils. They also secure their sriracha so make sure to add it before leaving the line. If you want something quick and cheap and don't mind just ok food, then give Sarku a try. read more

Sarku Japan - Chicken & Shrimp Teriyaki Entre - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

Sometimes I don't need much to make me happy. I don't always need a Michelin guided food. I just need the basics of chicken, noodles, sauce, and no vegetables to be happy. That's what this place does for me. Simple yet satisfying read more

Sarku Japan - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

This has to be the longest food court line, and I think it's for a good reason. My husband usually gets food from here while I go somewhere else, but this past weekend we both decided to switch things up. I was really hungry and wanted a meal that would fill me up without breaking the bank. The Chicken Bento Box definitely fit the bill. For only around $14, you get rice, chicken, 4-piece California rolls, veggies, and 3 dumplings. Other meats cost more, so I went with chicken. The chicken was tasty--nothing bad to say there. I was actually looking forward to the veggies surprisingly enough, but they tasted watery with a bit of a bad aftertaste. They were definitely frozen and not fully cooked or warmed through. The dumplings weren't my thing, but my husband enjoyed them. The California rolls were good and a nice, fresh addition to the plate. Overall, I'll try this place again next time I'm at the mall. read more

Sarku Japan - CHICKEN BENTO - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

Company catering lunch, food arrived on time. We had their popular items: -chicken teriyaki: pretty standard item and seems like it's their signature item, I don't expect it to go wrong. -beef teriyaki: a bit salty when I ate to the 5th piece. It's saucy, so good to go with rice. -steamed mix veggie: bland but I don't mind it as it actually balance out the beef when rice is absent. -veggie spring roll: ok I guess, but I wish there are more veggie inside because once it's cooked, the veggies tend to shrink -shrimp tempura: without a doubt this is the hit item. Can't go wrong with fried food but the shrimp is big and the tempura coating isn't overly thick, it still tasted decent even after reheating, and I call that a success. -tofu miso soup: slightly bland. Overall not bad for a company catered lunch. Popular menu items, stable quality. read more

If you have never had a Bento Box, do not try it here. Seems like great Japanese fast food option but the only thing good is the meat, rice and noodles. The rest of the Bento Box was not good. Dumplings were hard and dry, salad was wilted and tastes moldy, sushi was fake crab rolls. All yuk. Only thing I finished was the meat and rice and noodles. They have an option to get only that. Recommend you do that and skip the Bento so you won't be disappointed. read more

I went walking around Great Mall with my mom to get some steps in. She told me about the promotion that Sarku Japan has for M to Wed right now where you buy one Chicken Teriyaki bento, get the second one for $5.99. We decided to get that and it was yummy! I finished everything! I would come back and try other dishes. read more

Went here to pick up some dinner and there was only one person in line. The employee saw me come up to get my order taken however he turned around to do something and didn't greet. When he finally turned back around he took my order and I had to repeat myself three times what I want. I also asked for the shrimp tempura but got a shrimp tempura rolls instead. I waited 15 minutes but my sushi was ready and was hoping they would package or put it on the side until I got my whole order since my hands were full. They just gave it to me take and i still had my hands full. I was disappointed about my service but the food was good except I got the sushi instead. I was also charged for the wrong shrimp tempura. read more

Sarku always has freshly cooked dishes. Through their app, they often offer discounted dishes which are a great deal. I enjoyed a teriyaki chicken with noodles($.80 extra). The chicken was perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and the noodles were very tasty as well. A can't miss place for a great meal. read more

Ok where do I start ! I have never had real sushi before but I had to give it a try considering the speed and length of the line ! It was PACKED! But they moved so quickly I knew the food would have to be fresh because they were selling out and refilling like CRAZY! That's ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN ! Being in the mall had no effect on the ambiance what so ever if anything it made it easier to people watch and talk about how amazing the food was ! We are completely coming back to this place the next time we're back in Milpitas ! read more

I got terrible food poisoning the day after eating at this place. I've never felt so sick in my life

If you are at the great mall exhausted from all the shopping and want something to eat from the food court which is quick, tasty, fresh, delicious and comforting. Then Sarku it is. The lines are always super long but moves so quickly. Their speciality is juicy tasty freshly cooked teriyaki chicken(and other meats). Served on a bed of aromatic piping hot rice and freshly sautéed mixed veggies. I won't call it super healthy as the sauce must be loaded with sodium etc but out of all options available I think this is your best bet. Oh and it's quite cheap comparatively as well. For $10 you get a whole meal. I've also noticed similarly long lines and popularity of Sarku at Westfield valley fair mall. So it's quite a hit. Check it out and give it a try. You won't regret it. read more

Sarku Japan - Teriyaki chicken bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

Located inside the Great mall food court. Their staff is friendly and the chefs know how to cook the food very well. I ordered the chicken teriyaki with all veggies instead of the rice option. The veggie portion was huge and the chicken was nicely sauced! There are other food options as well but this is my go to spot when I'm shopping at the Great mall. If you're indecisive and want a well balanced meal at a decent price give them a try. See pic for reference. read more

Sarku Japan - Chicken teriyaki with all veggies. Per my request (no rice). 10/10!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

Was at the mall when i saw a crowd for this spot, noticed they were having a special for the teriyaki plate on Tuesdays! Asked for no veggies and added Sriracha - Super good! Piping hot!

Sarku Japan - Chicken Teriyaki ($7.99 + $.80 for noodle upgrade) - this was a tuesday special! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

Only eat here if you literally have no other options and really must eat at the mall. Service was fast and semi friendly, rolls were ok but too sweet. I would probably opt for a teriyaki bowl or bento box if i desperately wanted food at the mall next time. There was pick up on the left and right so it was kind of confusing if they don't tell you where to pick up. ***Sushi pick ups are on the right side and pick up for everything else is on the left.... read more

What is the point of doing a mobile order if they dont start making your mobile order till you get there??? Only this location and ALWAYS

Even with the low ratings here, this place is still fire! Always the longest line at the food court. I miss the good ol' days they would pass out samples. It would be a piece of chicken on an uncooked spaghetti stick like a skewer. I always get the bento box and add some sushi rolls. I miss the add on drink and eggroll to make it a combo for dirt cheap. They don't have that deal anymore! Once in a while they have Teriyaki Tuesday deal but on and off. They had a different deal this week but I forgot what it was. So long short, the promo changes. The staff is usually nice. They are pretty fast. You order and pay and go down the line. I always ask for extra sauce. I like how everything you need is self serve such as utensils, sauce, lids, plastic bag, etc. Plenty of tables at the food court. The food feels fancy for food court mall food. I highly recommend the bento box because you get a little of everything including sushi and potstickers! Soooo good!!! The price is not bad either. Don't be fooled by the low ratings!!! The food is fire here!!! read more

Sarku Japan - Very generous with the meat today! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

Whenever I'm at the mall, Sarku Japan is always my go-to spot for a quick and satisfying meal. Their Chicken Teriyaki is unbeatable--it's made fresh right in front of you, and you can really taste the difference. The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and everything is cooked to perfection. The fresh veggies and perfectly grilled chicken over steamed rice hit the spot every time. Whether I'm in the mood for something classic or a unique menu item, Sarku Japan never disappoints. If you're looking for a delicious, made-to-order meal while shopping, you can't go wrong with Sarku Japan! read more

This place is located in the food court at the Great Mall. When we went, there was a line, but we didn't really wait for that long to order and get our food. They cook and prepare the food in front of you. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box which comes with rice, chicken, vegetables, 3 dumplings, and 4 california rolls. The chicken tasted pretty good; the teriyaki sauce wasn't overwhelming and was sweet and savory. I wasn't a huge fan of the vegetables and how they tasted. The dumplings and california rolls were pretty standard. Overall, it's a satisfactory meal that does the job, but I'm not sure that I'd order here again from the options available at this food court. read more

The teriyaki set was good but it was the first time my husband and I ordered sushi and we both suffered severe food poisoning - my husband threw up the whole night and I have diarrhoea. I would avoid the sushi. We thought it would be better handled since it's at a mall. read more

Sarku Japan is one of the more popular spots to dine @ Great Mall's food court. The lines are forever grown no but it moves fairly quickly. While this particular eatery isn't one of my top choices, it is enjoyed by my toddler & her dad. Our order is forever the SJ teriyaki chicken combo with added beef. This lays over a bed of white rice or soba noodles [for an additional cost]. Each combo also comes with a side of over cooked, finely shredded veggies. 3 stars because the whole idea is nice but I'm not a fan of dried out, burnt cuts of meats that are mixed in. Babygirl is a fan and she's picky AF, so they can't be that bad! read more

The service was excellent. It's cheaper to get food after shopping. And the ambiance is great.

Staff prioritizes online orders and makes in person orders wait for over 20 minutes to get food meanwhile the online orders sit and get cold. I would not recommend ordering in person unless you wish to wait a long time. This is on a Tuesday with looks like full staff. read more

Food. Poisoning. I do not know how this below mediocre Japanese establishment is still open. Ate some beef with some vegetables and got some of the craziest food poisoning stints I have ever experienced. Do not come here. I mean shoot look at the other reviews.. many people are getting food poisoning, so there is obviously a problem with this place!! read more

My usual order for this place is the Chicken Teriyaki w/ soba noodles & extra chicken ($10) This is such a good meal any time of the day when you're hungry and lazy to cook. I love dipping the chicken with sriracha, but I find that some places doesn't have the sauce given that there's a shortage :( I also wanted to try the Chicken Bento Box ($11) and its honestly nothing special. Instead of noodles, this bento box has rice, veggies, 3 dumplings, and 4 California rolls. The dumplings tastes like an egg roll, and the rolls were not that great. *Save your money and just get the one with soba noodles, and you'll be happy :) read more

I tried Veggie D'Lite noodle and shrimp with noodles. The noodles were just plain. Vegetables were steamed, but they lacked flavor as well. It was nice of them to add extra teriyaki sauce, but it was too sweet for my liking. I had a poor experience. If you have a taste for this type of food, then you might enjoy it. Not for me, though. read more

Employees put so little of chicken teriyaki on top of the rice for choice #1, not enough meat, less and less every day, so disappointed.

I was excited when they opened a Sarku Japan in the Great Mall, I've always enjoyed it in Valley Fair before so was looking forward to it. This place did not disappoint! The food is consistent and comes out fresh. A great choice to take a break from shopping and refuel! read more

The front of the restaurant looks clean. Employees are very friendly and helpful. The food is subpar. The shrimp tempura is basically over fried batter. It's almost like from a box and cooked too long. Little to no shrimp inside. The chicken is tasty and moist. The sushi is pretty decent. Don't know that I'd order here again. read more

Food did not taste delicious as it used to taste. I always used to look forward to eating the chicken teriyaki... now I will probably not go there for quite sometime. I had diarrhea afterwards ... not sure if from lunch or my Sarku dinner. Maybe the poor taste was due to a new cook or cooking or method? read more

t was good food and good portions for the price. Had the chicken teriyaki with veggies and rice. It was not bad - not great either but reasonably good. They only have one communal bottle of hot sauce which was unfortunate but they do have soy sauce packets. The service was ok - they tried their best. read more
