Daruma Japanese Steakhouse - Douglasville (GA)

3 /5 Wind Napol: 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.

3 /5 Harmmom: We dined in with a party of 12 kids and adults. The wait time was reasonable for a Saturday evening. We were seated after a 20-minute wait or so. The server that took care of us was a good server for the number of tables she was serving. We ordered our appetizers and sushi. We were informed that the sushi bar was behind, so there was a bit of a wait. We got it dinner orders placed, and we ordered everything from chicken, steak, filet mignon, shrimp, and scallops hibachi with fried rice. To start our Chef was not the friendliest and, at some points, rude. The fried rice was ok, kind of taste like the grill and lacking flavor, like most of the food we tried. The filet mignon was nice and tender but lacking flavor, for the other cuts of steak the were a bit tough. My favorite part of the meal was the soup and the ginger dressing on the salad. The sushi was also good and fresh. Ok, atmosphere try it if you like, I dont recommend it.

4 /5 Ashley Sowells: Went for an early dinner around 4:30 and was seated right away. The atmosphere was quiet, perfect for conversation. Our server was very sweet and attentive, and the restaurant looked clean. The sushi was delicious, but the hibachi entrées were just okay. The chicken was a bit tough but the rice seemed to be lacking flavor. Portions were decent, though prices felt a little high for what we got. Overall, average experience: I’d go back for sushi, but probably not for the hibachi.

5 /5 Ben Morgan: My wife and I stopped in for dinner and were seated right away and were given multiple choices on where to sit. The server was friendly, the food was great, as was the sushi that we had. The Volcano Roll is probably worth stopping in for all by itself.
