Japanese steakhouse and hibachi spot permanently closes

Daruma Japanese Steakhouse has shuttered one of its two locations.

In a statement posted to Daruma Facebook account in late June, the eatery cited supply chain issues, labor shortages in addition to the current cost of food as reasons it had decided to close.

Daruma was located at 5261 Westpointe Plaza Dr. in Hilliard. The eatery operates another location, located at Ridge Mill Dr., also in Hilliard. This location will remain open.
