Daru Sushi — Restaurant in Bellflower

‼️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.

Super dank Japanese food!!! The price is really great too! I ordered 3 different rolls and they were so good. Devoured them. My mom is a picky eater and she loved them too.

I got the classic: a crunch roll and also ordered the salmon tempura roll and the calamari roll. I also loved the fact that they included a few pieces of tempura with the rolls.

If your hungry, I suggest you call way ahead of time. I'm guessing that they tend to get overwhelming large amounts of orders so it can leave you waiting between an 1 to 1:30 for food.

I mean, it is worth the wait, but if you're starving, plan ahead. I did order on a Friday night, so I'm not sure if that was the reason for it. I can't wait to try their bento box...
