Sarku Japan - Youngstown

This is truly the best teriyaki I’ve found in the area. I make it a point to stop by whenever I get the chance.

Quick and delicious! I ordered the chicken teriyaki with fried rice.

During our recent visit to the mall, my family dined at this restaurant, and we were thoroughly impressed! The food was not only delicious but also hot and incredibly fresh. The portion sizes were generous as well. I highly recommend this place!

I've been eating here for years but today was terrible because they changed the sauce and cut down on how much they give I tried to call but of course no answer this new sauce is terrible please go back to the way it was.

Let me begin by saying that I believe this is the best chicken teriyaki in the area for the price. The food is fresh, fast, and the meats are cooked hibachi style right in front of the customer, caramelizing them with a very pleasing high heat char. Asothers have said, when the cook is done preparing your meal, they'll offer you an extra ladle of teriyaki sauce. The answer tothis question is always yes. Now, on to the details and why I gave it 4/5 instead of a solid 5. Let's start with the cashier.Every time I've come here, the same cashier has been working, and she always seems annoyed that a customer has shown up. She cancome off a bit snippy and impatient and has cut me off in the middle of speaking many times. I'm not sure what her deal is, orif it's just me, but I don't appreciate being made to feel like I'm bothering the cashier just by walking up to order. A word tothe wise: as far as I can tell, the chicken is dark meat, and can sometimes not be trimmed as well as it should be. Almost everyorder has one or two inedible or extremely fatty pieces, and I've come across a few small pieces of bone and connective tissueover the many times I've eaten here. I don't know if they break down the meat in house or if it's shipped ready to cook, so Ican't really fault them for it, but it's still a little off-putting. Just make sure to chew thoroughly. Despite these twoissues, I do actually really enjoy Sarku Japan and it's pretty much the only place I go when I'm craving some Asian or teriyakigoodness. I highly recommend it. If you happen to be perusing the mall or just in the Boardman area, give it a try.
