Reviews
Love this place! Food tastes consistent every time I visit! I always get the spicy salmon roll and the salmon skin roll.
Super fresh and delicious sushi, the spicy salmon hand roll was one of the best I've ever had, it was so creamy. Great prices as well. Small spot but the staff was very helpful and friendly.
Nice hole in wall tucked into a shooting center. The service alone was amazing. The girl who was the server for the night was attentive and very accommodating with the recommendations I asked for. Food was delicious. I got the lobster roll, eel sushi and I forgot what it was called but another item with eel and everything was amazing. I don't live in the area but I know people who do and I'm recommending it to everyone!
I've been coming here for years, even before I moved to Banning. I'm only leaving this review because another reviewer commented on the miso. The miso soup here IS different than any other sushi spot, but it's the best I've ever had. I'll take this miso soup over any other. Darumaya is not just another sushi spot, it's a Japanese restaurant. Bomb ramen, bomb chicken teriyaki, bomb sushi.. and bomb miso .. favorite hole in the wall.
Great Tiger Rolls! Great Chicken Teriyaki! Great Tempura Shrimp! Made very fast. Great prices and very authentic Japanese food! Got delivery from GrubHub and had no problems. I would recommend this place to everyone!
