Sarku Japan - Culver City

My husband and I ordered both the chicken and beef teriyaki meals. This was our first time trying the food at Sarku Japan. I'm confused over the flavor of the teriyaki sauce. My chicken did not taste like teriyaki and my husband said his beef teriyaki didn't taste like teriyaki either. I think the sauce added in the food containers was more of a traditional asian bbq sauce rather than a typical teriyaki sauce. The food wasn't bad but it was not what we were expecting, which was a sweeter teriyaki flavor. The side dish of steamed vegetables I did think the addition of a vinegar sauce of some type mixed into the vegetables on the side threw off my taste buds. I was expecting simple steamed cabbage and other vegetables. I don't see the need to add vinegar. I did find a large four inch strip of the cabbage stem at the bottom of the vegetables and that was unpleasant to see. I doubt we'll be ordering from Sarku Japan again. I don't like surprises when ordering food and if you are selling food using teriyaki sauce, the meat should taste like traditional teriyaki sauce.

Came during dinner hours and ordered a beef shrimp teriyaki along with 6pc dumplings on the side. Food tasted good but not fit for my preferred flavor profile.

The staff was very unpleasant, I asked for more Sriracha sauce and they didn't want to give it to me, and they didn't even want to sell it to me, very

Chicken shrimp #4 X 2 was weak the 4 MICRO Shrimps they used was SHAMEFUL. FLAVOR was Flavorless. For $36.00 DEFINITELY NEVER AGAIN. ??????????????

They changed they changed the teriyaki sauce. After going there for the past who knows how many years the new sauce is not it. Taste like from a jar. I'll pass. Price still.good tho.
