Daruma Japanese Steakhouse - Japanese restaurant in Douglasville - 9300 The Landing Dr, USA

Had a blast New Year's Eve with my grandson. The food was fresh, tasty and prepared on the hibachi grill with precision. A definite do over

Me and my wife attended this establishment. We walked in and was not spoken to for about 10 mins. I had to walk to the bar look in the back to the kitchen just to be noticed by the staff. After about 20 mins later we were show to our seating. After another 15 mins wait for more guess to arrive we were asked about drinks. The cook was nice but I noticed that he catered to the family of 4 more than he did me and my wife. I have been here before but this establishment has changed though out the years.

Don’t go! And NEVER, ever trust their sushi chef! Unfortunately, tonight I had the worst experience ever! I provided feedback to the owner that the sashimi pieces are really small, in comparison to what I’ve had in other places (I showed a couple pics from my phone) and when she shared that comment with the sushi chef, (the owner knows who this is directed to) she (the sushi chef) was angry and told our waitress “we don’t do that here”. The owner explained that the cost of fish, prices, etc are expensive so they cannot serve the larger pieces, and I accepted that, I understood and still stayed for dinner. When my sashimi finally came out - 45 min after my cousin’s dinner was served, the presentation was awful! The chef stuffed all 18 pieces into a bowl and included 6 crab sticks, no salmon and no tuna - the usual assortment of fish was missing! So, of 18 pieces, 6 were of that cheap crab stick! When I asked why I wasn’t given any salmon or tuna yet I was given 6 crab sticks, our waitress came back with 2 slices of salmon on a side plate. There were many different kinds of fish for the chef to choose from - what she presented for me to eat didn’t include 18 pieces of the varieties available. I have never been insulted by a sushi chef - and never had less than a beautiful display of sashimi. Just 2 weeks ago, this same sushi chef made my sashimi order with completely different fish and the presentation was lovely. I showed the owner the difference in both dishes made by the same chef and she laughed. I left and will never be back. A patron should be able to provide feedback to a chef without the chef retaliating on the patron. I can only imagine what she would do if I wasn’t watching her prepare the sashimi. Very unprofessional behavior and not worth another visit. Spare yourself this place and this terrible sushi chef. The photos show the angry retaliatory sashimi dinner vs the 3 weeks ago sashimi dinner made by the SAME chef! One can never trust an angry chef!

First I have to say they are really understaffed. They have a sign by the door “ hiring all positions “ so have to give them a break. However, the food from the kitchen side was average. The sushi is great, very delicate but also took very long time. We finished our entrees and the sushi combo( sashimi + Nigiri) still not out. The server was overwhelmed with tables. The whole restaurant looks chaotic. Will probably go back as soon as they have more staff. The parking was plentiful.

The food was delicious! It's probably one of the best hibachi dinners I've ever had. Unfortunately, I can not remember the name of the appetizer and the 2nd dish we had, but both were equally as delicious! The heart-shaped dish was shaped perfectly before. We just forgot to take a picture before eating. 😂 The only thing I will say is it did take a while for them to seat us, but food makes up for it.

In my opinion the food was okay kind of bland. The sauces (eel, yum yum, ginger etc) seem very watered down. We ordered several appetizers such as calamari, gyoza, shrimp tempura and some squid one #16. We also had 2 sushi rolls I believe the Volcano & another fried one. Along with hibachi 😫 nothing was like wow!! It totaled out to $165+. For the cost of the food I'd expect it to better quality and taste.

Miso soup,, chicken broth, all the dipping sauces, and veggie hibachi meal is amazing! Edit: came here again today for my son's 23rd birthday dinner! They allowed me to store his ice cream cake in their freezer They sang the birthday song in Japanese and English! Everything was perfect from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Everyone enjoyed their meals with absolutely no complaints. The chef was awesome. The customer service was exceptional and the hibachi and sushi was superb. It was so delicious 😋🤤😋🤤. We had a hibachi party of 11 and they took very good care of us!

Went for my fiance's birthday and it was amazing. The food was great. My fiance wanted to try a Japanese beer and the owner came out and explained to him the menu and what he may like best. Owner was very engaged and made our experience even more special. We definitely will be back! Very, very happy with our choice of where to celebrate!
