Sarku Japan

Use to be a good spot, service is always good most days line not to long plenty of seats & a tv. The chicken dumplings are good. Sometimes the rice is too hard along with the veggies in the dish. They are hit or miss depending on the day.

Had a taste for noodles tonight, so I decided I would get some as I rode near by. Went inside and they weren't as crowded as expected. Service was fast & efficient until I got home and realized one of my meals didn't have any shrimp. Portion size is ok but it lacked what should've been included.

I ordered one beef & shrimp with extra shrimp and one with chicken & shrimp w/ extra shrimp. The chicken & shrimp meal had NO SHRIMP at all included. I paid extra for that and can't stand when I don't get what I paid for ‍.

Ambiance: ok

My son and I wanted some sushi, and we were in the area so decided to come here. I ordered the Green dragon rolls, they were good and got the job done lol. My son ordered the shrimp teriyaki bento box with the steam rice with an extra order of California rolls. He said his food was good.

The restaurant is clean and spacious with ample amount seating if you want to dine in. The reason for the negative star, after fixing and packing up my food it was placed under the door dash/pick up orders and was just sitting there for a good ten minutes until the person who took my order realized it and called my order number.

If I'm out and about near this area again and want a quick sushi fixed, I'll come back.

Once again hangry got the best of me. My favorite sushi joint didn't open for two hours so what the heck

Beef bento was okay. Mildly pleasant beef and rice. Salad was iceberg shreds without dressing, goyoza filling was savory but the edge of the dough was do hard I had to discard it like the crust of a Cornish pastie. The "California " roll was surimi without avocado and fell apart when picked up. Tea was a bag in a cup of hot water.
So okay, filled the aching chasm and didn't make me sick. But I suspect "Sarku" is Japanese for "not even close".

Went there for lunch. Used a 5 dollar reward any food purchase. Their food is good. They also sell sushi. It's located in Laurel, MD. It's not a big restaurant. This is a place where you can go for a quick lunch or dinner. They also do mobile ordering and deliveries.

If you like to be treated bad and argued at, this is place for you!

My sister had my nephew's birthday here tonight...SO HORRIBLE.

The manager was so mean to my family. My husband and I was 15 minutes late to the dinner so he made us sit at the bar (even though there were empty seats at the table next to us).

He made his employees make us get up and when i asked him was that a policy, he so belligerent about it. We're not rowdy people so the fact that he was being argumentative was really astonishing. It was so bad, my husband was going to tell him a few words, but he stopped before he noticed.

They also messed up my nephew's order at the table. The food tastes very dry and cheap.

Worst restaurant. We will never be back.

This has to be the worst "Japanese" food I've ever had. I'd rather eat gas station rolls. Yuck. $40 not well spent.

Sarku is pretty good. The server who took our order seemed like she wasn't having the best day and wasn't the most pleasant person to talk with. Food wise, I was pleased. We ordered the chicken bento box and chicken rice bowl with a side of mixed vegetables. Both were in a nice container and presented well. The chicken was tender and each came with extra sauce to put on top. The bento box also had California rolls and fried dumplings. I got a cup of water and it was obvious no one had drank water in a while because of the scaling (minerals) that were in the bottom of my cup. Overall the restaurant was pretty clean.

If you want some quick Asian food, this is the place. I've always driven by this location but never had a desire to try it out. One day, I decided to give them a try. Luckily, the menu was posted on the outside of the door for me to look over before I stepped inside.

The food is decent. I ordered shrimp teriyaki with fried rice. It comes with veggies. I added a salmon avocado roll onto my order. I'm not one of those people that absolutely love sushi, so I was a bit meh about it but what the heck. I have tasted some good California rolls and was looking to expand my palate.

So, the shrimp and fried rice was good. It wasn't the best I've ever had but I can see myself getting this dish again. Now that sushi...let's just say it's still in my refrigerator and I visited a few days ago. The salmon was raw. I wasn't prepared to eat raw fish. *sigh*

Overall, my food was good enough to visit this Sarku Japan again. Who doesn't love food quick when they're pressed for time...or not? I'll check out other locations as well.

Chicken teriyaki used to be the best entree to buy here for almost $7. But lately, it's not recommended. The steamed rice is hard, and chicken is dry and over cooked. Half of the food was tossed out because it was unbearable. Also, service is not attentive. Customers are waiting in line to order while employees are busy socializing with their friends who did not buy anything. Better management is needed.

10/24/18 Update - Things have improved since my last visit. Steamed rice was cooked soft and chicken teriyaki was tender. Cashier was attentive and friendly. Glad to see improvements were being made.
