Diamond in the Rough”
”Don’t let the exterior or the front door fool you—this place is a total diamond in the rough. I’m so glad I didn’t listen to some of the mixed reviews because my experience last night was absolutely outstanding.
Honestly, the Yum Yum sauce is the best in Columbus, hands down. It puts Benihana to shame! The food was seasoned perfectly and is by far the best hibachi I’ve had in the city. On top of the food being top-tier, the show was fantastic and kept us entertained the whole time. If you’re looking for high-quality food and a great atmosphere once you’re inside, this is the spot. I will definitely be returning. Don’t judge this book by its cover—just go for the food and the fun!”
I have been to 33 countries and all 50 states , I would say this was top 4. For 2 people with drinks 2 full dinners, show and 2 drinks and tip about $100

Initial looks on the outside and the door grating open almost had us walking away from the reservation we made online.
We were pleasantly surprised at the excellent service of out waiter. My son has an egg allergy that they were very understanding and helpful with and that allowed my wife to relax. We had the best show from any hibachi in years and he was funny! The kids had a great time and the food was awesome!
We were a party of 9 with 5 kids. We were snug but not too close.
Great job Daruma.

⭐ UPDATE — Somehow even worse the second time ♀️ ❌
I already left a review 6 days ago after they completely ignored my order and gave me noodles when I clearly said NO noodles, NO rice.
Well… I tried again today, and it was even worse.
This time I didn’t order online.
I actually called and spoke to a person to make sure there would be no mistake.
She asked if I wanted rice.
I said NO rice.
I said NO noodles.
I said I only want meat and vegetables, and I even paid extra ($4.95!) for additional vegetables.
Went to pick it up.
Got to the car.
Opened the box.
Guess what?
A giant pile of rice.
Again.
After I specifically said I do NOT eat rice.
Went back inside, showed them the order, and opened the containers right in front of them.
The “extra vegetables” I paid for?
About half a cup total.
The shrimp? Two pieces.
The steak? Barely anything.
The rice? Enough to feed a family of four.
And then she says,
“We can just take the rice out.”
No.
That’s not the point.
I told you I didn’t want rice in the first place.
I asked for a refund.
No way I’m paying $28 for a cup of food and a box of rice I didn’t order. ♀️
At this point, I’m done.
The place looks like it’s falling apart outside, the inside isn’t any better, orders are wrong every time, and the portions are a joke.

Honestly, I don’t know how this place is still open.
It looks run-down, dirty, and the service is sloppy.
Two chances. Both terrible.

My family has celebrated our birthdays at this restaurant every year for the past 15 years. We have always enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the experience, and it has long been our go-to place for special occasions.
This past Sunday, however, our experience was very disappointing. We had a reservation for six people at 6:30 p.m. and arrived five minutes early. Although our table was not ready, we were happy to wait. Approximately 20 minutes after our reservation time, we were seated at a hibachi table that had been extended, placing one member of our party behind the chef and physically connecting our table to the group behind us.
Despite the table extender, our party was seated shoulder-to-shoulder and combined with another group of four, resulting in ten people at a table that typically accommodates eight (two on each end and four in front). Having a guest seated behind the chef with a limited view, while the rest of the table was uncomfortably crowded, was not the experience we have come to expect, especially for a birthday celebration at a restaurant we have trusted for many years.
Given that our family typically spends over $300 on this meal, we politely asked the hostess if there was any possibility of rearranging the seating so we could have adequate space to eat comfortably and enjoy our drinks. We were told that no adjustments could be made. As a result, we made the decision to leave.
It was extremely disappointing to make a reservation in advance, drive 30 minutes across town, and then be seated in such an uncomfortable and unsuitable arrangement. If the restaurant was overbooked that evening, it would have been preferable to decline the reservation rather than provide an experience that fell so far below expectations and ultimately resulted in a failed birthday celebration.

Driving up to this restaurant I will admit I was questioning it however, we decided to at least walk in and look around. Upon entering the restaurant it seemed very busy with lots of customer as well as employees activity. The restaurant felt like it was a bit bigger inside than it looked from the outside. We both used the bathroom prior to seating so we could wash up and I will say this was definitely not a desirable bathroom but the restaurant itself was clean, the service was great, and the Chef was excellent! I would rate it a 7.5/10 for hibachi.

This is the most consistently delicious restaurant around. The shrimp hibachi lunch is my favorite, but the chicken is also always great. I crave the clear soup during winter. The Yum Yum sauce is the best I’ve ever had. They are very attentive when you walk in for carryout and my order has never been wrong. You must try this place!!

We had a great experience when trying Daruma. We are from out of town and happened to drive by while out. Perfect timing as the place was VERY busy by the time we were heading out from our very delicious meal! Great cook and dining experience and the wait staff were on top of our needs and asking what else they could for us. If we were here longer, we would go back! Highly suggest going for delicious hibachi

I always get the Daruma roll and am never disappointed. My wife gets hibachi steak and has plenty leftover for dinner. The portions are big and price is just right!!! We always recommend Daruma to anybody who like hibachi. Way better than any other hibachi restaurant in town. Gotta visit them. You’ll fall in love and never go anywhere else!

Last pic was everything we ordered for only $65!!!
