Daruma Asian Cuisine Japanese steakhouse

Wow!!! This place is the best kept secret in St John’s!!! The best food, the service….the facilities. We had a huge group here and will definitely be back…..do yourself a favor and come here. One person posted about their bathrooms, but we did not have that experience

We recently dined at Daruma a Japanese Steakhouse restaurant in Saint Augustine and it was an incredible experience. The sushi was exceptionally fresh, bursting with flavor in every bite. Great selection of appetizers, cocktails and local craft beer. The restaurant itself was impeccably clean, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The service was top-notch, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. One of my friends needed a coffee for the long drive home and even though it was not on the menu they went out of their way and made one for her . With such awesome food and service and a clean environment, I will definitely be returning for more delicious sushi or hibachi . Highly recommended!

What a great meal we had! Just tried this restaurant for the first time with my family. We came hungry and Daruma did not disappoint. Logan was our waiter and he was patient, attentive and we hope we get him next time we come. We ordered California rolls, spicy crab rolls and the shrimp tempura roll. We liked everything but absolutely loved the shrimp tempura roll. It was so crunchy and fresh. For lunch all four of us ordered hibachi (at our table, we didn't sit at the Hibachi table). We got combinations of steak, shrimp and salmon. They don't include the noodles with the hibachi if you want the fried rice so we ordered a side of noodles and it was perfect. Also I enjoyed the Moscato. We will be back. Thanks Logan!

It's always exciting when a fresh new restaurant comes into town, it's then even more exciting when you find out it's a Japanese steakhouse with hibachi tables since decent ones are far and few between. I gave Daruma a try recently and loved every second of it. The server was friendly and pretty attentive, the hibachi Chef was outstanding and the food and atmosphere was spot on! I'm pretty excited to have another great hibachi option in town and can't wait to go back and possibly try some of the other menu options next time.
