This restaurant is not the closest sushi place near my work, but is fast becoming one of my favourite. The restaurant is located in the strip mall on Edmonton Trail at 1 Street NE, that also contains a Petro Canada, a liquour store, a pizza joint, a Caribbean Food place and much more. Parking is a bit short for the type of uses at the strip mall. A couple of times, I have been forced to park at the gas station parking stalls because there are none in front of the other establishments.
This location has been serving authentic Japanese cuisine for as far as I can remember (Cafe de Tokyo and Sushi Hibiki) and Daruma is the latest incarnation. To be honest I have only been here for lunch and have had their bento boxes many times and also their chirashi zushi and ramen. I like their sushi very much as they are fresh and well prepared. The ramen was not up to par to be honest and probably not ordered by many people. The server, as others have mentioned, is very friendly and made us feel at home. The place is a little small and does not have many large tables. If you have more than 4 people in your party, you should definitely call ahead to see if they can accommodate you by combining tables.
