Daru Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellflower, California

My husband ordered our dinner from here via third party app. The app had specials for buy one get one free, so we ordered a few from the promos. From the promos, my husband ordered the spicy tuna rolls and I got the salmon sushi. And I also ordered a salmon belly sashimi. My husband said there wasn't anything special about the spicy tuna rolls. I did notice there was no wasabi or ginger on the side. I enjoyed the salmon sushi. I like the fish to rice ratio. And the salmon belly sashimi was nicely cut and was thick. It was delicious and was not stringy or grainy like some sushi/ sashimi can be. They also provided a good amount of utensils, soy sauce, and napkins. read more

The food was good, which is the reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. However, the wait time was frustrating. I ordered online and was quoted a pickup time, but the restaurant took about 50 minutes to prepare the order and it ended up being more than 20 minutes past the promised pickup time. The pickup time was pushed back once, and even after leaving and returning later, my order still wasn't ready. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but if orders are running behind, it's important to provide accurate estimates and communicate clearly with customers. The sushi was enjoyable, but the long delay and lack of timely preparation made for a disappointing experience. read more

Daru Sushi - Sushi Burrito - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellflower, California

This tiny restaurant is our new favorite place to dine for sushi. We have been to many throughout the years. The building looks quite old but tables and utensils are always clean. Server and chef very attentive. From the moment you walk in feels like you're dropping in a tiny shop in japan. My teens like their anime decor. I also really like their cocktails. Would be a nice addition if they served deep fried ice cream. read more

The food here was so fresh and delicious. This location is super clean and not to mention their service was excellent. I will be coming here again. I wish I could've taken a better pic but the food was so good that we didn't even touch our phone once we started eating. read more

The lunch deal here is extremely worth it! For like $11, they give you rice and reasonable amount of protein. The rolls are also good. I liked the sushi taco the most. It's crispy taco but the wrap was crispy seaweed and inside was fresh tuna and salmon! Great adaptation to SoCal. It's super delicious and affordable. read more

I called at 5:58 pm for pickup. I was told 25 minutes. I arrived at 6:22 pm and paid. It's 6:38 and I'm still waiting for my order.

As much as I want to gatekeep this place, I'm sharing because they deserve all the love and attention. First off, I love the theme of One Piece throughout the restaurant, helps me feel like I'm with my people! You're immediately greeted when you walk in and it was empty when we came in (Saturday around 4:30), but as we sat and ate, while watching Star Wars being played on their TV, more people came in. They all seemed to have a relationship already built with them, which was really nice to see because that means they have built trust within their community. Okay, on to the important stuff, THE FOOD. I got the Yellowtail Carpaccio and The Vinsmoke Roll while my boyfriend got the Tempura Udon and Baby Lobster Roll. Everything was a 10/10, no notes, and I kid you not, I actually shed a tear from how good the food was. You could tell everything was fresh and well prepared. Definitely my new favorite sushi spot! Sorry, we were hungry and the food was wayyyy too good for us to take a photo of the before read more

Daru Sushi - Food was too good to even wait to take a photo of it - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellflower, California

the food here - incredible. the fish is the freshest quality and beats places like sake2me, ozen, aikan, and kura by a LONG SHOT. those places make me feel nauseous after eating their sushi, but daru has never made me feel that way and i'm certain it's due to the quality of their fish. i want to gatekeep this place so bad because i don't want influencers to blow up this place and ruin the quality but i must give credit where it's due. they deserve their success. i have been going here for years and they are so consistent. service is incredible. ambiance reminds me of a tucked away sushi shop that's unsuspecting to the naked eye but the best sushi, sashimi and nigiri I've ever had in my life. I usually order thru doordash & pick up, but the dine in area is very small and cozy w anime figures. again, if it were up to me, I'd only tell close friends about this place but I just needed to give credit where it's due. what shocks me the most is how the fish melts in your mouth, their quality is always consistent. when you order nigiri, the rice is even smaller portioned than the first knuckle of my thumb and the amazing fatty fish is 3x bigger than the rice. amazing ratio. i am loyal to daru sushi forever. god forbid this place shuts down, the only place that would hold a candle up to daru sushi is sashimi from japan directly. i'd quit eating sushi in socal if it meant i couldn't eat from daru again and i mean that. love u forever daru. read more

This place is a small little local restaurant in Bellflower. I was looking for good quality sushi and I highly recommend visiting if you want simply, fresh sushi. I think the carpaccio selection is what makes this sushi place different than other casual sushi places around. The yellowtail carpaccio is fresh and has flavorful sauce. I also ordered the Luffy Special which came with 5 nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. The actual rolls and nigiri are comparable to other mid-tier sushi places around. The nigiri kind of fell apart when holding it with chopsticks. Nothing really stood out, but it's still good. If anything, I recommend the carpaccio over anything else. read more

I always enjoy eating at smaller establishments especially when the food is delicious and yes, you can add Daru Sushi to that list. This is a very intimate location with seating for approx 20 people but the food quality and variety can go toe to toe with much larger sushi restaurants. Today we went a variety of items including spicy garlic edamame, seared tuna, salmon carpaccio, and volcano roll to name a few. All items were very good and the fish all tasted fresh. As a bonus, Thursdays are buy one beer get one for $1!! You can also find different specials every day that may or may not be on the regular menu. Overall, chill ambiance, good food, but if they're busy you can wait a while for your food to come out. But hey if it's good food, then I don't mind. Prices are very competitive so come on out and give this place a try!! read more

Came with some friends to try this place. I would have never known about this place if it wasn't for my friend since I've probably driven past it and never known.. this is a cute little spot with awesome and friendly staff.. Once you walk in we were welcomed by staff.. we got the scallop roll, salmon carpaccio, tuna poke bowl, tiger roll and Causky roll which was their special at the time. Food was delicious all around.. Will definitely come back. read more

Daru Sushi - Epic sushi goodness! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellflower, California

Called in a phone order for the first time, service was quick and the people working inside were very kind and working in a timely manner. Spicy tuna roll was great, especially since it felt like it was packed w/the tuna. Not so much rice on the rolls which my family prefers since they're diabetics. I got their garlic edamame as well, I added more garlic and pan fried it when I got home to give it a toastier flavor and it was good! Would definitely pick up food again or come in for sit down service! read more

Sushi rice here is so tasty i feel like other places the sushi rice can be pretty sour. The service was a little slow ONLY because there were a lot of doordash orders but hones i didnt mind, i was tantalized by the tasty food lol. And as far as ambiance, the place is small, cozy, casual, and comfortable! I love this place. read more

Nice local sushi joint. Located on a busy street with parking on the sides, very clean and bright interior. They offer a great bento box lunch special and they are very generous with their protein! We also ordered the sushi taco which is real nori coated in tempura as the taco shell. My recommendation -- get the spicy sushi taco! read more

While the food was good, I've had much better. The staff is genuine and the restaurant is small with very limited parking. The restaurant itself is very plain. It has a bit of a dinner feel to it. There is a lot that they are doing right here, but, there are a lot of things that need more attention to detail. And considering how much competition they have in this community, I wasn't impressed. read more

I would say this gives a good feel for small sushi spots. And when I say "small" I mean tiny. 8 tables TOPS. It's tucked in on Clark right behind the Southeast shopping center and the parking can be tricky. I think they should add a little takeout/pick up window so that the sit down patrons won't be constantly interrupted in such small quarters. Anywho, the rolls were pretty good. I went real basic B with a crunch roll and dragon roll. Eel was perfectly seared. Very good portion and I loved that they added the eel sauce on the side since it was a Togo order. The servers/cashiers were efficient and acknowledging. I added an order of tempura veggies when I got there and did not have to wait too long. The tempura was perfect and they had my favorite in the assortment (squash, carrot and onion) They also have some nifty anime decor. I remember going here when they just opened (quite a while ago and I don't think it was named the same) but the rolls were gigantic back then. I wish they still had them that way because it distinguished them from other sushi spots. Now it's just another sushi spot. I'll need to try some other rolls, they are reasonably priced too. read more

This is a pretty good small "hole in the wall" sushi place in Bellflower. Not the best you'll fine but for the price point, it's not bad. The place is not that big and not meant for big parties. Parking can be a little tricky as they have a small lot for 3 cars to the right of the restaurant and some spots to the left next to the liquor store. As for the food: garlic edamame was a great way to start things off. The mixed tempura was surprisingly very good. The batter was light and not too oily. The other appetizers like the popcorn chicken and calamari rings were okay. The octopus and yellowtail carpaccios were on-point and very good. The tonkotsu ramen wasn't bad but they only give you thicker piece of chashu. I ordered a second side piece of meat. It does come with a full egg and the broth was good, not too heavy and the noodles were done just right. As for the rolls, they're decent...a little on the narrow side but had a good amount of fish and ingredients in each roll. Service was friendly and attentive. If you're in the area and looking for a reasonably priced Japanese sushi place that won't break the bank, I'd stop by again. read more

First time trying Daru Sushi. The food was great. Fish was fresh. Our order arrived quickly.

Hands down best of the best. This little gem is a Bellflower TREASURE!!! Service is amazing, dishes are fresh, delicious, innovative and full of flavor. Small little 'hole in the wall' and I mean that it the best most endearing way possible! Iykyk, those are always the best places and Daru does not disappoint. Tastes even better than I remembered!! read more

My family loves this little sushi spot. The spicy miso ramen is our favorite! The restaurant small but we always take our food to go. Service is always great the staff is friendly. read more

Really wanted to like this place, but it was disappointing. We ordered two ramens and tempura to go. The broth and noodles tasted like they were from a packet, and the broth came with one piece of chasu, a hard boiled egg (not even soft boiled), and like one bamboo shoot. For a grand total of $42. Hopefully they can use this review to improve. It looks like sushi is their focus so maybe that's better, but with this experience we probably won't be back to try anything else. read more

Food was delicious. We ordered a soda, two iced green teas, garlic edamame, 4 rolls to share, a chicken teriyaki plate, and a Daru combo plate. It came out to approximately $100 between 3 people. The edamame was amazing. Next time we want to try a spicy garlic edamame. The rolls were great. The spicy tuna and spicy mayo actually has a slight kick (golden tiger roll not pictured & truffle tuna). My friend devoured her Daru combo and said it was really good. And I tried pieces of the chicken teriyaki plate, but saved the rest as leftovers. Service was great. The staff was very attentive and check on us a few times. Everything came out very quickly. It is a small shop, with space for approximately 3-4 small parties at a time. My party had 3 people and another party had about 8 people, and the shop was full. Great little local spot. read more

Great service and the sushi is delicious! Will be coming back. It's a small place so it gets packed but had a great ambiance

I saw this cute little place after visiting 2nd Health Eatery and few blocks south and was so glad that took a mental note of Daru Sushi. I took my son for his 20th bday dinner and he loved it-he said its better than Wokcano DTWN LA and few other spots that he frequents. My personal fav was the Spencer Roll: spicy tuna, avocado, seared tuna, crispy onion and garlic ponzu sauce. I give it 4 yums baby! We also ordered: Crunch Dragon Roll, Yummy Roll and the Golden Tiger Roll. Next visit we will try: Big Dog Roll In: crabmeat, avocado. Out: spicy tuna, deep-fried eel, green onion, smelt eggs, sesame seeds. Sauce: eel sauce, spicy mayo, and the Popcorn Lobster Roll In: crabmeat, avocado. Out: deep-fried crawfish. Sauce: spicy mayo, eel sauce. read more

A small place tucked inside the corner just a small walk from my homie's place. The service was exceptional not just from the server but the owner. Everything was delicious especially the tempura. So crunchy yet airy. The squid was tender and the veggies tasted so fresh. We also got some ramen that is out of frame. Spicy and flavorful broths filled with trimmed meat and noodles. This place is a must try! read more

Limited seating so it's best to do take out. The bento combo can't be beat. Spicy tuna roll was better than most sushi places. It was spicy enough where it didn't mask the tuna flavor. In addition the quality the combo price isn't bad either - around $11. The shrimp tempura hand roll was delicious as well. The portion is huge - two hand rolls could probably leave you full. read more
