Daruma Japanese BBQ & Sushi AYCE

2 stars mainly for the polite staff and decent service. Unfortunately, the food — especially the meat — was pretty disappointing. The meat didn’t taste fresh at all. Most of the meat was sliced extremely thin and cut into tiny, oddly shaped pieces and it seemed heavily marinated with a lot of seasoning, which made me wonder if it was meant to mask the quality of the meat. The vegetable portions were also tiny, and each slice was cut paper-thin. Definitely not worth ordering. Another surprising thing was that they don’t offer any alcoholic drinks. I’m not sure if that’s because of licensing issues or just to cut costs, but it felt unusual for this type of restaurant. I’ve tried many Japanese and Korean BBQ places across the U.S., and they always have a variety of dipping sauces availabl

Love it here, to start the atmosphere is fun & trendy. As soon as you enter the hostess is quick & friendly. Was seated immediately & informed about new special items , this is my family’s 3rd Time here each time we try new rolls & starters and each are great. The variety is great and you will leave full and happy. Fresh food , sushi, bbq, seafood,apps & dessert for all you can eat. Holyoke needed something and this was def it! Get the Premium you will love the it. Waitstaff super cool & friendly & even come out w/ LED BDay signs so dope. Everyone is so attentive & it places like Daruma that make us leave the house for a good dinning experience 🍣🍱❤️

We popped in for lunch after some Christmas shopping to try this new place out. Service - outstanding, Jason was on point and everything was perfect. He was not overbearing and was fun to chat with. He also explained everything as this restaurant you cook your own food. Food - Excellent, all you can eat. The price was definitely fair. Was a really cool twist that you cook your own food to your liking. The restaurant - very clean, bathrooms were spotless, atmosphere was really good. Overall - 5 stars for us. Very pleasant experience and will go back and we are telling others to check it out. I unfortunately ate the sushi prior to taking photos. Next time...

This was my second time at Daruma, and once again it did not disappoint. I brought my cousin here to celebrate her birthday, and it ended up being the perfect choice. Jasmine took incredible care of us all night — attentive, friendly, and made sure everything flowed smoothly without ever feeling rushed. The BBQ is what initially draws you in, and it absolutely delivers, but I was especially impressed by the seafood and nigiri this time around. Both were fresh, well-prepared, and real standouts. The seafood pancake is a must-try — crispy, flavorful, and easily one of those dishes you keep thinking about after the meal. Everything felt thoughtfully done, from the quality of the ingredients to the overall experience. Great food, great service, and a fun, memorable spot for a celebration. I

Amazing service, everything is new, and super cool grills that scrub the smoke from the BBQ immediately as the food is cooking by pulling air from around the BBQ ring. I only tried the standard menu. As a grand opening promo they included the top menu of the sushi menu. We only ordered the tuna crispy rice and it was 90% crispy rice and 10% tuna. The meats. The good include the shrimp, squid, any of the pork. The strange include the beef and chicken. I'm not sure how they marinated the beef and chicken but they had a canned taste to them and they were very soft. The scallion beef cubes should be renamed pepper beef cubes. The first round of meats came in a gorgeous display within a wooden box. Subsequent orders came on neat stackable containers. They really do portion it to one piece p
