    Chicken & Shrimp Teriyaki Combo (4 stars)
    Phi N.

    Haven't had this in decades but it's simple and still delicious. I made the mistake of getting extra sauce on my chicken and shrimp teriyaki (because I saw the guy in front of me do it). It ended up being way too saucy for me. In the past, I would have just put soy sauce and siracha on the rice and it was way better.

    Incomplete sushi

    Ordered their sushi roll, it said 8 pieces on description. This is what they gave me, and looks like incomplete order. I spoke to manager, manager doesn't care about customer. Will never go again.

    Spicy tuna roll, volcano roll, teriyaki chicken

    I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant as I only know the ones in mall food courts which exclusively sell teriyaki chicken. While they still serve their classic teriyaki, they also have sushi options - classic rolls as well as specialty rolls. We got the spicy tuna and the volcano roll. The spicy tuna roll was a little lackluster for me, but my mom and I enjoyed the volcano roll! Overall, this place is a good Asian fast food option.

    It's weird seeing a Sarku that's not in a mall. This new storefront location replaced the old Five Guys in the Aspen Hill Shopping Center. The interior is bright & inviting and doesn't have the industrial look & feel like most places in the area do. I think it's exactly what you'd expect out of a Sarku. They seemed pretty on point with everything here for it being brand new. My only gripe is the teriyaki sauce. It didn't really do much to the food in terms of flavoring. Still prefer yum yum sauce with things like this lol. Not a bad option for the price point, and you could tell it's slightly better quality than the mall locations.

    Teriyaki Chicken w/ Mixed Vegetables on white rice
    Kenny W.

    After turning into a franchise, the place isn't the same anymore like it used to be where it was in the Wheaton Plaza old food court on the bottom level. Their portions are smaller now, the mixed vegetables is now just shredded carrots and green cabbage (before, it used to also include bean sprouts, and broccoli), their extra sauce on the side is a bit more salty than sweet compared to before, and now you have to pay extra for fried rice or noodles and I believe it used to be free. I usually get fried rice when it was free; now I have to op for white rice for the first time in a long time. At least their fancy, reusable, recyclable, microwavable, dishwasher safe take out container with thei logo is nice..

    the receipt for the restaurant

    For the amount that was paid I would've thought the food is at least decent but was I wrong! Food at a food court compared to here is way better and you'll probably pay a lot less. Don't go here or you'll regret because I know I did! Had to go to McDonald afterward because I threw more than half the food I ordered away. No good!

    Their food is pretty good though they seem in a rush always and don't really interact with customers.

    Temari is a very casual Japanese-owned restaurant offering homey Japanese cuisine. I've been…read moremeaning to check it out and I finally did a couple Saturdays ago. It was really popular that evening, so the three of got squished at the table meant for two, but we didn't mind. The menu is pretty extensive, offering ramen, udon, tonkatsu, rice bowls, grilled fish sets, and more. We ordered pretty quickly, but with how busy it was, it took a bit for the food to come out CHILEAN SEA BASS - 37 As I scanned through, my eyes immediately fell on the miso sea bass. Despite the price point, I knew I had to go for it because sea bass is hard to find around here. This set came with rice, house salad, miso soup, and cold tofu. The sides were pretty standard -- no compliments, but no complaints either. On the other hand, the sea bass was wonderful. Super creamy and soft, with a strong miso sweetness that packed so much umami upon each bite. I would definitely splurge on this set just for the sea bass. My friend got the ramen and didn't love it, so I'll probably avoid that during future visits. The katsu curry that the table next to us ordered looked and smelled amazing. Overall, food was delicious and homey. I'd definitely recommend!

    Cutest hole in the wall!!…read more Authentic Japanese food on Rockville Pike. Never knew what I was missing... their sushi seriously tastes like it was made with love. Absolutely floored by the fatty tuna sushi roll. It is on the pricier side, but honestly, I don't think I even minded. We got the katsu and sashimi combo plus some rolls on the side. The katsu was delicious, and the sashimi was super fresh. The combo also came with the cutest little side dishes, really adorable presentation overall. The staff was also incredibly attentive about my friend's allergies (dairy and nuts). They kept checking in with us and even showed us the sauce ingredients to make sure everything was safe. One of the staff members called my friend "kawaii" after hearing her long list of allergies lol, and honestly, that made my day.

Even without a reservation, I was seated immediately, which was a great first impression. The service was excellent. Our server mentioned it was her first day, but you would never have guessed as she was attentive, warm, and handled everything beautifully. The food truly stood out. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The hibachi experience was just as enjoyable. The chef was entertaining, skilled, and added a fun, engaging touch to the meal. The restaurant itself is clean, inviting, and has a great atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great sushi or hibachi experience.

We ordered a party boat that was about $81 which is more than reasonable. Finished almost all of it. I also had my 2 piece roe selection since that's my personal favorite. Service was nice. We had a waiter in training so it took just a bit longer but he did a good job. Ordered a Yueling and drank my draft in a cold glass. The fried oysters and seaweed salad were just ok but I liked their tempura. It's a very casual restaurant with a huge bar, some tables and habachi.

    I recently came here on a Sunday evening with my family to celebrate Mother's Day. We had a large…read moreparty of 6 adults and 4 children so we called and made reservations ahead of time. We were seated immediately upon arrival. The restaurant is located in the main shop area of Rockville Town Square. There is plenty of parking available with nearby garages and street parking. We decided to do the AYCE Classic Set, there is a 90 minute limit and you are handed an iPad to order your selections. There is a limit of items that you can add... if I recall it was 10-15ish? Then once you submit an order you have a 5 minute limit before you can order your next batch of items. We ordered so many items, some of our favorites outside of the BBQ meats were: - Spicy Tuna Tartare - Shishito Peppers - Garlic Cucumber - Kuro Squid Noodle The meats were all high quality with generous portions. The time limit and wait times between orders were reasonable, we all left super full with time to spare. My two toddlers ate for free, I do not recall the cutoff age, but they are 1 and 3 if that gives some perspective. The food was excellent and the service matched. Our server David was very attentive, checking on us multiple times to clear plates and see if we needed anything. The table space has limited space due to the grill in the middle, but he was on top of making sure we were comfortable and taken care of. I really appreciated the extra time he took with actual plate placement, nothing hot close to the toddlers and even calling out when placing a hot item down to make sure hands and arms were clear. Delicious food, great service and perfect for families or large groups, I will definitely be coming back in the future :)
