Hibachi Daruma

I had heard great things about the food truck but was never able to experience it. So when I heard that they were gonna open a location in Mound. I was excited. I have been coming here since shortly after it opened.
It has always been a good experience, but today, it kicked it up a few notches.
We had the onion soup, gyoza, avocado rolls ( not on menu, but they make them ) hibachi steak and spicy tuna ( which my adult child said "delicious ")
Service was great, kitchen timing was solid.

Overall, excellent experience!

Pricey for bland tasting chicken and 4 small shrimp. Make sure you don't order via their website or if you do don't pay up front. You'll get a message once you pay with a credit card that you can save a $3 service charge if you pay cash. I asked to pay cash but the response was "you already paid with a credit card". Not worth the $32, tipped $3 plus the added service charge. Nope, won't be back while I visit Minneapolis.

In town for work and walked nearby to grab lunch at Hibachi Daruma. I ordered online and it was ready within about 15 minutes. I had the Chicken & Tofu hibachi combo and made them both spicy. Great flavor! It was a really nice mix of traditional hibachi with a spicy/sweet glaze. Great lunch!

The service was fast and the prices were reasonable. We got a non sushi meal and it was good but not fantastic. Portions were small. I noticed most of the people in the restaurant were ordering sushi. I think that's their forte , so I would say go here if you are a sushi person.

Good spot for a quick, no-frills lunch. I went there twice for lunch during my recent 4 day trip. I tried a few different options, but centered them around the hibachi items.

Pros: Friendly staff, relaxed vibe, limited but good options to choose from.

Cons: Price is slightly on the higher side given the surrounding options nearby. The food itself needed some help to bring out the flavor by adding extra seasoning.


I would have given this place a 4 star if not for my bad experience with the add on scallops. At $12, they are okay, but both times they were not cleaned properly.

Oh boy do I miss working directly across the street from their Minneapolis location. It's been too long.

This has to be one of the best lunch deals in Downtown Minneapolis. The portions are huge, it tastes amazing and there are so so many options to choose from.

My personal favorite is the spicy teriyaki tofu hibachi. It's super flavorful, the spice is noticeable but not five alarm "I can't feel my face" hot. Top it with a little yum yum sauce and voila.

I took 1 star off because it does take longer, so this isn't your typical grab and go meal. That doesn't mean it isn't worth it, but I've definitely been in a time crunch trying to get my meal and sit down to enjoy it.

This review is for the Mound location.

We love hibachi, but sadly any time we've eaten in the restaurant we've felt disappointed. The service is inattentive, dismissive and to be honest it often feels almost rude. This is the only spot for hibachi in town so we've tried to give it a few chances but in the future we'll either just make the drive elsewhere or do takeout. Lastly, we've come in a few times 30-45 minutes prior to their quoted closing time (which is both listed online and printed on their door) and we've been turned away saying they shut things down for the night. For the price they charge here, it's sadly a disappointment. If you're going to try it, I'd stick to take out.

Food is good and fast..young guy at the register is good and professional even when dealing with the jerks behind us

This place is awesome. The service is very friendly and super accommodating. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. Now....the best part...the food. I ordered a hibachi meal with steak and added a side of shrimp. The food was so fresh and delicious. I could've eaten a whole extra plate. I ordered a "surf side" sushi roll. Again...fresh and delicious. This place is worth the drive. They even have a food truck in the Twin Cities metro. My wife said it's equally as good. My family loved their meals as well. Check this local restaurant. You won't regret eating here.

While scouring Minneapolis for one restaurant that was actually open, my sister and I stumbled across this place. It wasn't our first choice for lunch in town, but with the good reviews we figure we'd give it a chance.

We enter through the back hall, not the front entrance, which seemed pretty sketchy and had us unsure at first. However once we arrived at the restaurant, we could tell it was legit. We got our food in and we're served within 10 minutes of putting our order in. I went with the shrimp lo mein which turned out pretty decent, the amount of shrimp they gave was certainly more than anticipated which was great news. The meal itself was pretty subpar, but definitely more nutritious than some other Asian places because they didn't just load up with sauce.

We were the only people in here the whole time we were here which gives off a certain vibe that isn't necessarily the best, but other than that pretty good. Prices were pretty good and again service was quick so couldn't complain.

Nothing too special here, but one of the only places in town that's actually open so have to give it credit there!
