If you like hair in your food this is the place my wife found a long hair on her fried shrimp the cooks don't wear hair nets which they probably should we will not be back here agin.

Chicken donburri was disappointing. Flavor was average nothing wrong there. The 7 small slivers of chicken was the let down for me. Figured they could have put less rice and added more chicken or something especially for 20 dollar item. Rather go to panda get a rice bowl with three times if not four times more teriyaki chicken for 13 dollars.

Sushi Duruma isn't a Japanese restaurant. This restaurant is a Korean restaurant that prepares Japanese style cuisine with a Korean influence. The Sushi is fusion style and doesn't use the traditional style of seasoned Sushi rice but instead has strange sauces on top of the Sushi that adds the actual flavours. The Teriyaki was alright and the sauce used tasted more like Bulgogi sauce which is decent. From what I heard the owner of this establishment was the previous owner of Harumi in Seaside. Overall this is a decent restaurant located in the old town area of Salinas. Three stars is my rating. Parking can be very difficult.

Food was delicious and service was great! I would definitely recommend their tonkatsu ramen since winter season is starting to creep in. Give this place a try if you're in town

It's our first time and we wanted to try this coz we keep on going to other Japanese restaurants. The place is clean and quiet (which I like, don't like too much noise when I'm dining), Stephanie our server (I don't know if I spelled her name right) was awesome! She's very sweet and attentive, keep checking if we need anything else or if everything is okay. The foods were good! all in all, a pleasurable experience for a first time. We will come back again for sure. Thanks Stephanie for such a wonderful service! You're awesome!

Great service, size of portions, and price. Food is always fresh and perfectly prepared. Best place to eat in Salinas. Visited several times. Tried the beef teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, saba, tempura shrimp, and California rolls. All were excellent.
Lovely aisian inspired art decorates the walls. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is so so good!

I have been here for dinner and for lunch. Both were excellent. The wait staff is very attentive and you don’t wait long for your dinner. I had a hamachi carpaccio along with tempura, chicken teriyaki and nigiri ?. All delicious. I know you typically when I think of sushi in Salinas, but it’s worth the trip.

The food here is always fresh and tastes great, and at a good value. Feels like the service could be a tad better, I feel like it's always something when I come here. Be it a hard time seating even with over 45 minutes before close, or not being able to be seated when it's a party of 2 and my other party is parking when the restaurant isn't even half full. Understand they have to follow certain practices but seems like they could read the situation and ensure a great experience. All in all, will continue to come back because of the food.

Usually this place is amazing. But for a Friday night during rodeo week they weren't even that busy, but our service was not great and the rolls were poor quality. Been like 4 times since they opened and usually Friday is packed and service and food amazing, but not this
Nice mix of classic and original rolls. Great drink selection and vibes.
