Sarku Japan stands out among similar restaurant choices because their made-to-order approach satisfies diners and ensures that there is always a long line in the food court. Aside from the quick service options, Sarku Japan also features several dine-in options at standalone restaurants. The order process and preparation method allow customers to customize their order, add extra proteins, and substitute side orders. They can then watch trained Sarku Japan chefs sizzle up their orders on a steaming grill. The secret signature teriyaki sauce is generously added to every order, and most guests request extra helping.

History of Sarku Japan Franchise

The first Sarku Japan opened in 1987, and owners were a bit tentative. Despite many other popular Asian cuisine choices, it was unclear how audiences would react to the Japanese flavors and style of cooking. The high-quality ingredients and fresh vegetables, in combination with expert seasonings, made Sarku Japan an instant hit with residents. Within a few short years, many other locations were consistently being added. Today, Sarku Japan boasts more than 250 quick service hubs and dining establishments throughout North and South America. The continued success is largely due to the traditional preparation and food item choices that are consistently available at every location.

Sarku Japan offers a 20% reduction in the franchise fee for qualified veterans.
