“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 high heat char. As others have said, when the cook is done preparing your meal, they'll offer you a ladle of extra teriyaki sauce. The answer to this 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 can come 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, or if 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 to the 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 every order has a few inedible or extremely fatty pieces, and I've come across several small pieces of bone and connective tissue over 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 I can't really fault them for it, but it's still a little off-putting.Despite these two issues, I do actually really enjoy Sarku Japan and it's pretty much the only place I go when I'm craving some Asian or teriyaki goodness. I highly recommend it. If you happen to be perusing the mall or just in the Boardman area, give it a try.“
