    CHICKEN BENTO
    Ariana H.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Waiting for food now !

    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 !

    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.

    Chicken teriyaki with all veggies. Per my request (no rice). 10/10!!

    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.

    Chicken Teriyaki ($7.99 + $.80 for noodle upgrade) - this was a tuesday special!
    Rosa P.

    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! Chicken cooked perfectly, They did not skimp out on the portion, Definitely a good deal! Waited no more than 10 minutes for my food

    Very generous with the meat today!

    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!!!

    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....

    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!

    Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box
    Seth E.

    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.

    Finally got the chance to try Yaichi, the so called Bay Area Tsujihan for their massive seafood…read morerice bowls with ochazuke transformation and I have to say as someone who just came from asia and HAD Tsujihan, Yaichi is so much BETTER. Same quality but Bigger portions and better dashi, for about the same price? Sign me up. My girlfriend and I skated the potato salad appetizer - a delicious DIY experience that let you control the texture of your potato salad (though I feel I overmixed), and two take bowls which were MASSIVE - easily could have shared. The seafood was fresh, the portions generous, and maybe it's because I have a more Americanized palate, but the mixed seafood dashi was richer and paired much better than a mild seafood chazuke. Plus it came with shiso leaves and tempura crunchies so it was really no comparison. Overall this was a delicious meal that left me extremely full, unlike other seafood bowls that leave you just a little too hungry. Given the tastiness of their dashi, I'll def be back to try their udon. Also, as an added bonus, my dogs love the little dashi fish topper on their food they sell separately at the front. Love! --- Sweet: amazing dashi broth, delicious seafood bowls. Rare instance of a dinner living up to the hype Bitter: wish they had mini versions of their more deluxe bowls!!

There was already a group waiting outside the restaurant. You have to add your name to a waitlist with a QR code that's posted on the outside of the restaurant. Many people were also waiting in their cars before opening. The restaurant is located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking at least. Once the restaurant opened, they started seating people by their place in line. We managed to get in the first round seating. I ordered the curry rice with pork katsu. It came with miso soup and pickles on the side. The food came out quite fast. I see why this place already has a line before opening. The pork cutlet was fried perfectly as it wasn't too oily but still really juicy. The curry was good too.

The katsu was also perfectly crisp which made it very addicting to eat. Ask for the curry on the side if you don't want it mixed with the katsu and rice. - katsudon: this wasn't as flavorful as we wished it could be and the sauces were very light and sweet. Additionally, the katsu was very soggy so 5/10 for the dish. Overall, the crisp on the chicken katsu was the most outstanding part of the dish. The dishes weren't super special, but it was a decent katsu places.

In addition to the grill options, they also offered sushi and clay pot rice dishes, which added some nice variety to the menu. However, the grilled meats were the weakest part of the meal. I'm not sure if it was the cuts of meat or the preparation, but the meats lacked flavor, and the sauces and salt provided didn't do much to improve them. If I were to come back, I would probably order fewer grilling items and focus more on the rice dishes and sushi instead. Those options seemed to have more potential and made for a better part of the meal. The service was just okay. I asked for a paper menu because I strongly prefer that over scanning a QR code, but the staff seemed a little annoyed by the request, which left a less-than-great impression. As for the ambiance, the restaurant itself is a decent size and has enough seating. For a BBQ restaurant, I think they could benefit from having more space and additional seating, but they had just enough to accommodate guests during my visit. Overall, I think there are better options if you're specifically coming for Korean BBQ. However, the lunch special does offer a good amount of variety, and I would consider returning for the non-grill items.
