Daruma South Sarasota - Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Lounge

Sick all night. Ron is unhelpful and arrogant. Will never return suggest you all do the same. Reporting to the health department. Been going here for 20 years. Manager says we do not have enough evidence that we were sick. Rotten seafood. Friends missed their flight due to severe sickness. Daruma has gone down hill. Spent $400 to be severely sick.

We had an amazing time! It was my daughter's bday, and they made her feel so special. All the staff was very attentive and the food was great! Chef Joe was the best!

We went to celebrate several family members Birthdays and had a wonderful experience! Kid-friendliness: Our kids loved the entertainment from the chef!

First time at this establishment. First, the vodka martinis were consistently cold and generous pours. Our service was excellent. Sushi rolls were mixed, I loved my yummy roll, my wife not so much on the shrimp roll she ordered. Our dining partners were very pleased with their sashimi, huge portions of fresh fish. The dining room in the back is too dark, and the booth is too small, we spent the evening kicking our dining partners' feet.

First time actually ever coming here. Worst food I’ve ever had at Japanese place. Poor quality everything. So disappointing.

The food was good and the show was great. The price has gone up like everything else, but now they charge a plate fee if you split a meal. They did include soup and salad with the split, so it is not that bad but still disappointed. Overall, it was a great time and will definitely be back. Parking: Had to park far away, and this is not uncommon.

Food was excellent. Entertaining and fun chef. Made for a great experience. Brent's service was perfect. Thank you so much Brent! Thanks again! We will be back.
