Still like the food but they've gone to smaller containers and providing less food than before while the price of the chicken teriyaki has risen to nearly $10. Inflation. Doh.

So tbh I'm not much of a fast food person but i grew up eating this food (my mom really likes this place) and aside from the food being kinda oily, it's honestly pretty good! They're famous for the chicken teriyaki, and they make pretty good fried rice. Whenever I'm at the mall and hungry, if I'm not going to Cheesecake Factory, I'm going here. The ambiance is a mall food court - nothing special. But you can get some containers of food to go and eat at home, which is what we usually do (like $10 each for a container of food). The service is pretty standard for a fast food joint (it's just fine).

Ok lol this place is so underated. It's in a mall I know. It's inside Barton Creek Mall lol BUT I think I've been going here for 2 decades or more ha and never gotten the chance to review it. Because who reviews fast food? I do! Ha and guess what? The pickiest foodie friend I have love loves this place so that amounts to something. And I like it a ton too. It used to be cheaper way cheaper like almost $5 for the chicken teriyaki lol but now it's almost $9 and add $2 for more meat. I always get the basic popular chicken teriyaki just because it's good and hot and fresh . They give you a large amount. But if you add more chicken you get so much more. Idk how they get the chicken so tender lol but I stick to chicken. The steak and shrimp and noodles look good but if you know me I never venture out of something if it's good. So chicken teriyaki it is! I ate here the other day and got 2 to go and it was hot and fresh! But be wary the line gets long. It's definitely the busiest in the whole food court. Even more than Chick-fil-A but it's worth the wait. It moves fast. And they are made to order so it's fresh and hot. They used to do a punch card and I get a lot of freebies but post covid I don't see that deal anymore. And the price is upped but it still is worth lol if you are ever at the mall hop in line and give it a try!

My husband ordered this on DoorDash having no idea it was mall food. We got a good laugh out of it...and good food! We ordered one chicken teriyaki with rice and one beef teriyaki with noodles. Was it nutritional? Absolutely not. What it delicious?! Yes! I really enjoyed our dinner and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I don't find myself eating at chain restaurants much, but recently I was in a pinch to grab a bite before watching a movie and wanted to try something new at the food court that wasn't Chick-fil-A, so I went with Sarku Japan. The Teriyaki Chicken is their best seller and they also sell it in a double meat portion for $10.28 which was very filling, I didn't even get to finish my rice. It tasted good and it did its job in being quick, filling, and satisfying. You can also get a regular portion for $8.29 if you'd like. Although I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, it's a good spot to check out if you are also at the mall and find yourself to be pretty hungry. With that said, I'll give them a 3.75/5 for having good and great qualities.
