Daruma — Restaurant in Englewood

Went for a date on Sunday after being recommended to go. Only 2 other tables were occupied but we waited 40 minutes for our food. A big table of 8 people was being served at rapid speed so not sure what was happening on our end. The servers were kind, but the amount of time that the food took to come out ruined our experience. We only ordered 2 special rolls and 2 classic (lobster meets shrimp, summery, Philly rolls). We also ordered the tuna spring rolls and I’m pretty sure the menu failed to mention that they are fried.

I had a Godzilla roll and Philadelphia with an iced green tea and my wife had a Spider roll and Shrimp tempura roll with ginger ale (photos attached). We paid roughly $45, not including tip. I recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for fresh, beautiful and great...
