It's a small joint, but very reasonable prices for yummy food. Excellent and friendly customer service. Lots of selections, and the sashimi tastes fresh. The carpaccio is very flavorful! I loved both the yellowtail and octopus carpaccio.

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.

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.

‼ W A R N I N G ‼ NOT KID FRIENDLY ‼‼We've been to Daru several times as a family and have always had a good experience- until recently we were incredibly disappointed. We visited Daru yesterday with our 2 year old toddler, who is an extremely picky eater, so we brought a Happy Meal for her as we've done before. This time, however, the staff refused to let us bring it inside, even though it's never been an issue in the past.I understand restaurants have policies, but we were long-time customers, and this policy was never an issue before. It's disheartening that rather than being accommodating, especially for a small child, they turned us away. I asked the young lady that was our server if she could allow it this last time as a final one time courtesy and moving forward we will no longer bring outside food for her, but she would not budge and said "no." we explained again, that the food was just 4 nuggets and fries for our toddler and we, her parents, would be eating off the Daru menu but, again, she was firm on her stance.We always supported this establishment, but after this experience, we will never be back. It was disappointing to feel unwelcome after being frequent visitors at a "family-friendly place", I expected more understanding and flexibility. Instead we were shamed in a full restaurant in front of the other guests.EDIT: I just skimmed some reviews and see a common denominator of the young girl providing awful customer experiences for several people. how unfortunate for the restaurant's business. Hopefully management addresses this with her.

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!

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.

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.

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!
