Sarku has been my favorite for many years now. Unfortunately they don't have a location in the valley so I have to wait to visit Bakersfield to enjoy their tasty and amazing 😋 food. I took my son for his birthday to thousands oaks because it's only 30min away to try their Sarku location, I'm happy to say 🙂 it's also delicious 😋 thank you!!!

Excellent meal. Fast Fresh, and friendly service. The Oaks food court needs to be revitalized and have empty spots leased for even more choices. Sarku Japan is spot on!

What is the point of having "rewards" if you can not be able to use it?? Even better.. why the trouble of making a QR code if you can not use it? I have my points.. and even if I have the chance to use it before they expire.. sometimes don't work online like it supposed too.. so if you go in person to order .. the same thing happen to not be able to use it.. Tell me if that doesn't give anyone a bad day?? Besides it used to be way better in the terms of food... No wonder there is not a big line like before.. Well just be aware when you come here and order.. check it twice too..

I went here today, I got a bento box with chicken, and at first I thought the food would honestly be okay because the line was kinda long there, I went with a couple of friends, we all got the same things and the was sushi was super fishy, the rice was undercooked it was super crunchy, the chicken was chewy and it was almost like leftover pieces of chicken barley even cut. My friend almost threw up. I started to feel nauseous, and felt like I was gonna throw up too, I barley ate and I still feel gross. I really do not recommend.

Poor customer service… asked for a sauce on the side because we didn’t want to have it on top of the chicken plate and wanted to get charged $0.50 for the side. I explained that we don’t want it on top because we have a baby and I trying to share the food with him so instead of putting the sauce on top just give us on side and they kept arguing and asking for money. Worse customer service I have ever seen. Never going back again!

If I could give it less than 1 star I would. I know it smells good while they cook it in front of you and they may have even given you a sample that tasted pretty good too but the minute you get your plate you are disappointed. First, I never heard them call our number so when we finally figured out that 3 of the 6 were ours we took them and sat down the check was not toasted like the one they serve you. There is quite a bit of fat on what they serve you too. We also had a spicy tuna roll...we must have been starving. That was the most disgusting thing on the planet and they definitely have no right calling it sushi! I would not go back again.

Not a good experience. The food was not good, and the customer service was poor. The staff did not understand our order. I would not recommend this place.

First time to ever try this place, but as soon as I took the cover off my Bento Box bug was hoping on the Ca roll🥴 Our table was nearby so I hurried to take it back to show the staff. The guy on the counter almost didnt know how to handle my complain. Another guy must've told him in Spanish to just dump the whole tray. This guy took the food and showed attitude of dumping it. Slid the food then practically dumped it hard. They did make another order, but man all this staff like to do is talk over your food while cooking.
