In a news release, Sarku Japan®, the largest Japanese Quick Service Restaurant chain in the U.S., announced yesterday that they opened a store on 125th Street between Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Blvd., and Lenox Avenue in Harlem, this past weekend. Harlemites will be able to order from Sarku Japan® Teriyaki and Sushi Express “sizzling teriyaki and made-to-order sushi” that is traditionally found in mall food courts.
As to why Sarku Japan opened a store in Harlem, Harlem Franchisee, Vinny Vig said, “With the rise of Japanese quick service cuisine, I am confident that I’ve made a smart investment and am pleased to be offering the Harlem neighborhood a healthier alternative to traditional fast food.”

is that next to the Golden Crust? Wonder when Harlem is going to open up a good Diner?!!
@natasha. I hear ya. Someone would make a killing in South Harlem if they opened up a diner! And I believe this is near Marshall’s and CVS.
I ate there this afternoon and was under-impressed. The food presentation was like what you would get at an Halal cart. Taste was disappointing too. The food was no where near as good as there competitor’s Yoshinoya. I took some pictures and wrote a review on Yelp, if your interested.
Sorry to hear the food was not good. Hopefully the owners will see the feedback here and on Yelp; and react!
What’s the number to this place?
