Sushi Daruma

Wonderful little spot for some amazing food and service. Everything tasted great and were good sized portions. The servers were so helpful and always checking in. Our main chef Eddie was so kind and welcoming. We sat at the sushi bar and it was very comfortable. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back!

Food was excellent. I got the hamachi kama and it was grilled to perfection. The sauce that came with it was great. It was a delivery and still arrived warm and was not overly dry or otherwise. Only issue was that there was not any soy sauce for my rolls. The alaska roll and futo maki were both great. The selection here is like no other in the area and i was thoroughly impressed with my meal. Please just read the notes on orders. Thank you

This place has great fresh food. It is a small cozy experience. Highly recommend the lunch menu options for the choices and price! They do take out as well.

Visiting my parents during Thanksgiving and decided to try this new sushi place that opened since I’d been gone. It’s a small place, and they have limited seating, they did a good job getting us sat, their were 6 of us in our group. They had constant traffic of to go orders and people looking for a table. Obviously, a popular choice amongst locals. We ordered some appetizers. Fried tofu which was generous in portion and delicious, and fried calamari which was cooked perfect, just enough crunch but not tough. We had miso soup which was perfect, hot and flavorful! We all had sushi rolls and they were good, the wasabi was not as spicy as I like and tasted a bit weak like it was watered down. The rolls themselves were good, but just didn’t have the intensity in flavor I enjoy. The service was very slow, but not bad. Our server was attentive to our needs, but the asks took awhile and the food did as well. I would go back, it was good, and the prices were reasonable and maybe it was an off night and as a newer place they may just be needing to find their rhythm. Recommend

Dined in twice, terrific sushi and other food options. Nice addition to Salinas dining options. 😁

Great flavors! Friendly staff. I had the Angry Bird Roll, which is a chicken only roll. It tasted good, but could have been rolled with a little more care; kept falling apart. Ate half before I took a picture. The mango and strawberry flavored sakes were amazing!

Everything was bland and extremely sweet. Spicy Edamame tasted more like the water it was boiled in than all the "seasoning" on it. Spicy Edamame wasn't at all spicy. Gyoza sauce was sweet, but the Gyoza themselves were good. Amigo Roll was sweet. In all my life eating sushi I've never had sushi that tastes like candy. Maybe the Salinas crowd likes sugar in everything.

First time here, everything was great, we had chicken and beef teriyaki boxes, tempura was delicious, not greasy, yes its fried, but it didnt leave that lingering greasy taste in your mouth, salad was fresh and crispy. Miso soup just yum!! Our new olace to go!!
