NJ Dining: Daruma

45 N Dean St, Englewood, NJ
(201) 567-9600

When its brutally hot out, you want something cold and refreshing. One of the cuisines I go to in this kind of weather is sushi.

The restaurant mecca of Englewood is home to a number of sushi dens, including the much-beloved and frequently-packed Wild Ginger. But for my money, if I’m not heading out to the super-authentic Japanese-run Sakura Bana in Ridgewood, or eating at some of my favorite sushi places in NYC, I like to dine at Daruma, which opened in late 2004.

This a catering/party order that was about to be sent out.

This is the Avocado Sashimi Boat, with salmon and tuna with spicy mayonnaise and ponzu sauce.
