Sarku Japan

This place is so good. My friends and I go here all the time. Their noodles, fried rice and teriyaki chicken are heaven. 10/10 would recommend.

The Chicken Teriyaki meal was a good portion and was very delicious. The Chicken Dumplings were also very hot and delicious. Will come again for some Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Dumplings

I love this place sooo much with one plate my husband and my son can eat and be full for an amazing price and the taste it’s super delicious

Just a grabbed a meal to go. Aways great food. Thanks.

We've been coming to Sarku for over 5 years, and to be honest this Sarku japan is the best tasting one. There meat is always good and tender and crispy. The line is always moving never stalling, and the workers are always polite and never mean. Two thumbs 👍🏻👍🏻

The food was yummy so I came back for more .. twice in a row .

Food is delicious absolutely scrumptious texture and everything. Not only is it good the workers are the best. 10/10

Yelpers reported that it was close however when I got here it was open and I was able to order food from here so it’s not closed, I love it nice and juicy I will say that the prices have gone up I got this for nine dollars with no drink or anything extra. I was craving this though cause I haven’t had it in a long time it’s been a while since I’ve eaten food at a mall. I love that they cook it in front of you while the chicken. The vegetables taste fresh so I’m a happy camper all around!

Always long line. Good food .

Service was wonderful food is delicious prepared fresh & the egg rolls the best in Houston Definitely coming back & the lemon is so good keep up the fantastic customers experience

Always good. Service is great. I gave atmosphere 5 but let’s be honest. It’s a mall

I always enjoy the food. Just wish I could buy extra sauce on the side.

Their food and service are always the best!

I was considering eating at the Chinese food stand a few feet away, but I decided to switch things up and eat here instead…and I do not regret that decision at all. 10/10, would eat again.

Good food, only complaint I have is cold egg rolls..everything else was good, cooked fresh on the spot.

It’s a good and enjoyable Asian fast food. They put teriyaki sauce in the beef, chicken, or shrimp order for the Japanese effect. The egg rolls are so-so. The dumplings are very good. For each meal, you have a choice of white or fried rice. They can also add a sautéed vegetable mix that is good. They accept all types of credit cards with a chip (insert) or NFC (tap) feature.

Every dish is good except the vegetarian delight. Sadly, they use the same spatula to stir the raw meat and cooked meat. I've gotten sick twice after eating there. One star off for that.

Always come here for the chicken teriyaki. However, they have other options to choose but it takes longer to make. If you want food that's cast preparation, come here. It's more than enough for 2 people to share the combo. Unless you're extremely hungry....

Decent food (teriyaki flavor) freshly cook while you wait in line. Teriyaki chicken/shrimp/rice/veggie is still more healthy than most food court's deep fried offering. Prices (+$) are very competitive within the food court of this Shopping Mall.

A Japanese food place in the First Colony Mall. Good for quick meal/stomach-filler while on the go. There's a special for each day where you pay a little bit less than the other meals of the day. There's also a program deal where you're given a card and it gets stamped every time you buy a full meal and when your card's aquares are fully stamped it qualifies you for a free meal of your next purchase. What I like about this, is that it does not have a time limit unlike other stores where you have to get your card stamped at a given timeframe. I love the chicken teriyaki special.

It’s just mall food. Order came out pretty fast and the workers always put a smile on my face. You can’t really complain about it definitely better than panda express.

I went here, desperately wanting to have something familiar and delicious....Needless to say, they were out of white rice 🍚.If I had the time, I would have requested that someone prepare me a bowl right there. It's white rice. My family had plates, I skipped getting a plate. I will choose an alternate, more inconvenient location going forward.

I wanna give them an A+++ for being very clean. I was super excited about my plate but I will certainly try them out again and hopefully raise their review.

Tried their chicken teriyaki bowl and dumplings. Was very disappointed. Taste was very average and dumplings were fried and not steamed. Not recommended

They add teriyaki sauce to everything without asking and don't let you mix rice with noodles. Due to the sauce, the food is sweet rather than savory.

I ate this food twice it was fresh and tasted great... HOWEVER..... when I got up the next day. My stomach contents were everywhere something is either off temperature or it's msg or something doesn't agree. Everyone in my household was like this. Terrible. I wish Marvin Zindler was still alive to check this place out. I won't be back EVER again.

Love the food, but staff is unfriendly! They were supposed to open at 11am, I go to order my food around 11:10a and the employee said we’re not ready, give us 20 more minutes!!! Like really, why didn’t your staff clean up the day before??? They are literally cleaning up! If your restaurant opens at 11am, you should be ready to serve your patrons at that time, not make them wait due to your staff being unprepared.

Decided to grab lunch and found a caterpillar in my food halfway through eating.… never again 🤢🤮

Very mean and un sympathetic staff. Could not do a simple request of mixing the rice and chicken. And not only did they said no but were super mean about it.

Super disappointed, I got this for the first time in a long time a couple days ago, I got a double side of just chicken and it was so over cooked. It was not edible. I just threw it away waste of money. And when I walked up to the counter, they had just thrown a bunch of new chicken on the grill, but they gave me the crusty chicken that had been sitting on the side so

Ordered online pickup thru Uber Eats. They refused to give me my order and made me wait for no reason. Ended up having to call Uber to get a refund. Don't bother with their Uber Eats promo- they will make you wait and not give you any food.

Customer service is trash! Told them I didn’t want teriyaki sauce on top of my food but rather on the side and they refused. They told me to eat it like that or get the sauce on top. Since when do you force customers to have sauce on top of their food? Never coming back

The food has no flavor, the employees are inattentive, the service is terrible and dirty, the place does not clean the food line… they clean the cooking utensils with towels which are the same ones that clean the same surface… the prices are unmentionable but anyway I think it will not change and well I think I will never return to eat if it is like this in front of the place I can already imagine myself back in the preparation kitchen…

Food court so what do we expect right but still for a price of $14 with drink, it was a huge disappointment. I can make better fried rice than them. It was tasteless, just plain greasy, beef teriyaki lol, it was sugary sweet.

Bought 4 plates for my family today . I found a roach like bug in the noodles . So freaking gross . Please excuse the spit up broccoli on image but please becareful , check your food before you eat it 🤮🤮🤮🤮. Everything went in the trash

Got the beef with chicken, kind of pricey. This does not taste like what expect it to be plus no free refills, have to pay for another drink... ridiculous

First of all I’ve eaten here before and it was delicious but this location was absolutely horrible. The lady who took the order was rude. Secondly, the food taste disgusting like the chicken tasted spoiled!!! I sincerely want my money back after spending $30. However after asking the cook what kind of oil was used and communicating that it tasted old - he seemed unwelcoming so instead of my money back I’ll just park this ZERO review right here - 2/1/22 7pm.

Absolutely horrible service and poor food handling. Lots of shouting going and the customers were being treated as inferior beings. The guys in the back were moving vegetables and chicken with their bare and sweaty hands. I should have walked away but I paid for the food and threw it in the nearest trash bin. NEVER coming back to this location again.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the service at this location. I've been a long-time customer and have noticed a decline in the overall experience. In particular, I've found the attitude of some of the staff working at the register to be condescending, resulting in a negative customer service experience. I'm especially concerned about the service provided by the short, Hispanic gentleman working during the opening hours. Additionally, the store is often not ready at opening time. In today's economy, exceptional customer service is more critical than ever. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and take the necessary steps to improve the customer experience at this location.
