I had lunch at Daruma on Mon afternoon and it was very affordable. I liked how their Bento lunch box was customizable to your liking!I had lunch box with sushi and tempura. It comes with rice, salad, miso soup, fruit, and protein of your choice. The price varies depends on which items you choose for the bento(you get to choose 2 proteins). Tempura was delicious! It came with 2 shrimp tempura sans some assorted veggie tempuras. Sushi was ok, fish was really cold. I added some individual sushi, my ikura was super cold and seaweed was soggy.When I visited, they were temporary out of ramen, I’d like to try ramen next time.Their food is home style, price is affordable. The atmosphere of the place is also home like, it is such a cute Japanese restaurant. I’d recommend if you live close by!Kid-friendliness: Kids friendly!

Cute neighborhood sushi spot. Incredibly friendly and fast service. Sushi is the most fresh I’ve had in a long time. 100% recommend this place. Looking forward to trying out the ramen and udon dishes!

So, all in all, dining at Daruma was a blast. Authentic Japanese food, a chef who's got serious skills and passion - it all made for a meal I won't forget anytime soon. Highly recommend chicken karage, they are to die for! If you're up for a killer Japanese food experience, you've gotta check out Daruma.

This is a lovely little restaurant with kind and caring staff who make delicious sushi. All the other dining patrons and folks picking up take-out orders all seemed to express the same sentiments we felt, that being genuine gratitude. It’s easy to understand why this restaurant’s star count is highest amongst Sushi restaurants in Calgary. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Cool little place. Food was very affordable. Their lunch specials costs from $13-17 depending on what you order. Food was good, pricing was excellent for food cost nowadays, I just wish the portions were a bit bigger.
Very good chicken terriaki. Very pleasant service.

Awesome place for authentic japanese food. The takoyaki was crispy with generous sized octopus. The agedashi tofu wasn't bland like most places, same with the udon soup. For sushi I'd recommend the dragon roll. Nice cozy hidden gem for Japanese cuisine.
This has the best Japanese comfort food. The Katsudon is the best.

Went for a casual meal. The staff were lovely. It seemed very authentic, so not all tailored to Western tastes, but the staples were delicious and the sushi was great. The tempura prawns, gyoza and tempura sushi roll were our favourites. The atmosphere is casual and it was good value.

It has a very distinctive family-style feeling. I have already dined here several times, always enjoyed the food and service.
