" Came here on a Saturday afternoon and found it packed! The staff were hustling, and while they were friendly, the service was a bit slow. I enjoyed the hibachi chicken; it was well cooked but felt the flavor palette was lacking. Overall, this place is great for a quick bite if you don’t mind the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Too fast for comfort! I enjoyed the service, but the food felt rushed. The portions were massive, which I appreciated. However, the flavors didn't quite hit the mark for me; the teriyaki sauce overshadowed the actual ingredients, and my chicken was a little overcooked. I wouldn't mind coming back to give it another try, as the overall vibe of the place is cool and laid back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a quick bite and came across Sarkus Express. Initially, I was drawn in by their lunch special and I was not disappointed. The hibachi chicken was tender, and the veggies were fresh. It reminded me of the hibachi spots I visit in larger cities, but without the same authenticity I'm used to. The ladies at the front were friendly and attentive, making it a worthwhile stop when I’m in a hurry. Just beware: the portion sizes could be a bit inconsistent depending on who’s cooking! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sarkus Express delivers good food at decent prices for local fast-casual dining. I was pleased with the generous portions offered in the lunch specials. However, it's evident that authenticity is a bit lacking, especially if you're used to traditional Japanese cuisine. The flavor was decent, but I think they rely on pre-made sauces too often. Overall, a fair place for a quick meal, but not a destination for authentic Japanese food lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pretty solid hibachi- fast, fresh, and favorable prices. However, the authenticity of the flavors didn’t quite meet my expectations. The service was pleasant and speedy. I have returned several times for the affordability and will continue to do so. " (*Curated Review*)

" After I heard a friend rave about Sarkus Express, I had to try it for myself. I went for the shrimp hibachi and can say it was above average. The shrimp was cooked well, but I didn’t appreciate the heavy teriyaki sauce drowning out the flavors. The portion was sizable which made it worth the price. Next time, I’ll ask for less sauce! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I don't see why this place is so popular. The food is mediocre, and although I got a good portion, it was just average. The staff was polite, but I expected more from a hibachi restaurant. I wouldn't recommend it for authentic Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
