Japanese Cuisine Daruma

We went on a Wednesday lunch. My thought: Why didn’t I know this place earlier? I wish I did! The food is great quality. My partner and I started with the tea - warm to start our appetite. Ayumi brought us the miso soup which was so well-balanced. Our a la carte tempura arrived and we were blown away by how the breading was so light - the shrimp flavour came through. Our bentos arrived, I picked Set A and my partner picked Set B. I could tell that they marinated the karaage and it was so delicious. The steamed rice was warm and the salad had a flavourful dressing. The salmon teriyaki was grilled to perfection. My partner said that his sashimi was GOOD stuff. Our overall dining experience was very pleasant. Ayumi, who helped us was kind. We will be back! This is a Calgary gem in my opinion.

5/5. Period. Place gives the authentic Japanese small diner experience and everything I ordered was just delectable. Loved the tofu steak as it had slight spice to it and firmness of the tofu was just right. Be back whenever I'm in Calgary

Welcome to an awesome Japanese food experience within Calgary. The decor is simple and clean where all the focus is on the food and the food is excellent. The freshness of the ingredients produces Supremely flavored dishes. You are missing out if you don't stop here.

Came here for date night, and this will be a place we'll continue to visit. The restaurant is nostalgic of our own experiences in Japan. I like that the menu is definitely well-rounded. We were pleased to see items you don't normally see in other Japanese restaurants, of which we were happy to order several of. Everything was really good and brought back memories of various restaurants in Japan, especially the kushiage. It's very clear the owner takes great care and pride of this establishment. I'm looking forward to our next visit.

Went here today for a Monday lunch. Our first time. My group and I ordered the assorted tempura, chicken karaage, the sashimi - sushi lunch bento box, and one order of chicken Katsu don. The Chicken Karaage was the star appetizer, the chicken was moist and not over fried at all, the hot sauce with it was a good pairing, the tempura was on par with most other places i have tried, no complaints. The Sashimi bento box was a great value, and the chicken Katsu don was moisture and very flavorful. I will definitely be coming back to try the dinner menu, I also really enjoyed the atmosphere and lay out of the restaurant.
