Daruma Restaurant

Daruma is a solid choice for authentic Japanese food in the Chicago suburbs. The experience is simple and focused on the food. They offer a wide range of dishes and drinks, including Japanese alcoholic drinks and vegetarian options. We recommend trying the Japanese-style spaghetti for a different take on pasta. The udon soup stood out the most for me. Adding a bit of chili enhances the flavor nicely. Both the udon and the spaghetti were memorable. There are also several sushi options, and the fried and pickled vegetables are worth trying. Also noteworthy, seafood dishes are tasty and overall ingredients are of high quality. The restaurant has standard seating as well as Japanese-style tables, plus a bar area. It is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking, and it is a good option for families. Overall, Daruma is a good place for well-prepared Japanese food in a relaxed setting, staff are very friendly!!

Authentic, fresh, and flavorful. Daruma always provides exceptional service and the atmosphere is laid back. The Niku Udon is especially delicious.

Daruma provides top notch quality food and service with reasonable prices. The sushi, ramen, udon, anything that is on the menu is going to be prepared with the kind of care you would expect to get in Japan. There’s a reason why pilots from Japan come here to eat the food. It’s great for large parties or small dinners. Thank you for always taking care of me and my family with exceptional service, we will be back.

We went here after watching a TikTok video. Definitely highly recommend this place!! We went durning lunch time. We got the Nabeyaki Udons, Tonkatsu lunch, and Chicken Katsu Curry. We also got a sushi roll which is not pictured. The sushi was super fresh! The katsu was super delicious, crispy on the outside and super moist and tender on the inside. The udon the noddles was super chewy and not over cooked. Highly recommend getting the spaghetti here it has a sweet taste to it but a wok and umami flavor! I still think about the spaghetti til this day! There is all also private dining room that make you think of japan!! I highly recommend this place if you are ever in town!!

Really authentic Japanese restaurant!! With great ambiance, very friendly service and amazing dishes! We went as group of 3 and def ordered more than what we need! Really cute Japanese decorations and very authentic setting with tatami room available for an extra charge. We ordered monkfish liver (today’s special), beef tataki and fried chicken wing (today’s special) for appetizers and all are just so delicious! For entrees, we got tonkatsu, udon, and to tonkatsu ramen. All came with amazing seasoning and generous portions. Highly recommend the tonkatsu set. It came with a gigantic piece of fried pork, potato salad, cabbage salad, miso soup and rice. Simply so satisfying. Worth the one hour drive!
