Daruma Kiosk offers delicious dishes like potato croquettes with curry sauce and a variety of onigiri, with standout items being Takoyaki and matcha soba salad. The prices are reasonable for sharing, and they cook to order, giving you a buzzer when your dish is ready to pick up. The covered patio is clean and nicely spaced, with options for outdoor or indoor seating. During a pop-up event, customers can enjoy authentic Japanese flavors, although popular items may sell out quickly. The onigiri are wrapped traditionally, adding to the experience. Customers have enjoyed well-prepared street food that pairs surprisingly well with wine flights, highlighting the flavorful, light dishes like shrimp dumplings with excellent wrapper and filling. The sukiyaki onigiri is a must-try, featuring rice wrapped in egg yolk and sliced beef, which is perfectly grilled. The sweet potato burrata is another highly recommended dish, offering a unique combination of sweet potatoes and creamy cheese. While there may be a wait for certain dishes, the friendly service and quality of the food make it worth returning. The outdoor seating area is ample and nicely maintained, providing a comfortable space to enjoy the authentic flavors.
