SERVICE: -the staff was so awesome and friendly, very fast and prompt with service as well AMBIENCE: -quite big and spacious :) OVERALL: Heemo was a hit! especially for the chirashi bowl and glad to know that I can order a half sunkist roll (though it might be a lunch thing) read more

I don't know how it's taken me this long to write a review here, but this place doesn't miss. For the price and the quality of the sushi you get here, I'd say it's pretty worth it. My go to is the traditional sushi and I get a crunch roll, some of the 4pc rolls and it's plenty for me! Definitely a great spot for some sushi in the area. read more

Great service, great sushi, great atmosphere! If I'm ever in town, I stop by here for my Go To rolls: DHA, Salmon Tango & Malibu. The rolls are quite filling and although one roll would satisfy me enough, I get 3 to last us a couple meals. Delicious, fresh and tantalizing flavors. I just love this joint! I wish I didn't live an hour and a half away read more

Ambience 5/5 We came on a friday night, and it wasnt busy. Just a few occupied tables. The restaurant is very big and open, but feels very lively and comfortable with all the decorations and music, aswell as the nice little open bar that they prep the sushi at. Its pretty clean too, so thats a plus. Service 5/5 Our water was very nice and attentive, cracked some funny jokes too! All the staff were very nice and fast with the service aswell. We got a plate of ribs on the house at the beginning, and ice cream on the house at the end. Food 10/10 * I'm not really a sushi person, (was out with family) so I got the box special instead, with the salmon teriyaki. It comes with miso soup, rice, shrimp temperua, an eggroll, and vegetables, 4 pcs california rolls, and a small side salad. * The miso soup was pretty good, good for a cold evening, and i like the amount of miso paste they added, which gives it rhe perfect amount of salty and rich flavor. * Salad was very fresh. No complaints. * I loved the tempura. It had an assirtment of shrimp, cegetabls, eggroll, and a gyoza., as the tempura batter was very light and crispy * Salmon was very fresh, you could tell by the taste, and the light teriyaki sauce on top added to the taste. * Overall the portion for the box is very good for the price, and it reallt does full you up. I would order it again, but I think I'd like to try another variation next time, like the mackerel. Although i didnt order or try it, onr of my family members did mention that the beef teriyaki box was a bit on the saltier side. The icecream at the end was good, it green tea, or matcha, and it was fried, not too sweet. Bathroom review lol The bathroom is pretty solid. Its fairly well cleaned. Although its not some fancy bathroom, it still has all the amenities, and well, its a bathroom! 4/5 read more

My husband's new favorite place to go. I honestly love it too not only for their food but for the amazing service. The guy in front counter - you make my day. So jolly and so hospitable. Definitely a lot of regulars come in, from what I see. Such a homey environment. Been here a few times now and I gravitate towards their box sets all the time. Their baked mussels are good. Tempura is perfectly battered and their sushi is decent. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. read more

I think I just found my new sushi spot! The restaurant itself is located in a shopping center that's so easy to overlook, which is why I haven't gotten around to trying it! Now that I have, I'm already looking forward to having it again! The price point, the quality of the fish, the portion sizes, the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the restaurant... five stars. If you're in the area, this place is worth considering. But careful... Heemo Sushi just might dethrone your favorite sushi spot! I can't wait to return again! read more

I've been coming to this place for around 4 years now, and this is my favorite sushi place by far. The rolls are on the larger side but are worth the price for sure. The staff are super friendly as well, and the environment is very welcoming (if you come on your birthday there is a fun surprise). Lastly if you like eel and are looking for a roll to get I would highly recommend the king dragon roll. read more

Two weeks ago.... After an event I went to, ended up leaving hungry... I decided to not leave Daurte. Instead, I went to Heemo Sushi. It made my night better. Food: I've tried the following sushi .... Yellowtail Tuna Shrimp Salmon For the rolls... Alaskan Baked Crawfish Baked Scallop Popcorn Scallop Quality for most part is pretty decent, not too bad. Not so much for the Popcorn Scallop roll though, but that ok, everything else was great. Service.... They took care of me good. They care about the customers when it comes to sense of urgency and great game plan. Those are the kind of people that belong in hospitality. Excellent service. As far as coming back here again... only if I'm willing to take a long drive to Daurte again, which won't happen for a while. At least I drove long way back home stuffed. 4 stars. read more

Good but pricey. The chicken bowl is very good, it tastes much higher end than most places and the sushi is good quality.

Heemo Sushi is a solid sushi spot in the 626! The service was great, and the waiters were so nice. When we went it was not crowded at all so the waiters were all very attentive. The rolls are huge! I was shocked with how thick the pieces were. I did enjoy the quality and freshness of the food. Each roll we got was $17. And there are lots of different roll options to choose from. To be honest though some of the combinations for the rolls weren't something I loved too much, but of course that's on preference. It's a solid spot to go to if you're ever in the Duarte area! read more

The service here is great! The presentation of the food is also awesome. The rolls are absolutely loaded and massive we couldn't even finish what we ordered. Price is pretty spot on for a sushi joint. I wasn't a big fan of the tuna or albacore but the salmon was really good. The baked scallop dish was excellent too. Would come back again! read more

We were into Duarte for three weeks and we came to Heemo sushi three times! Once we sent our adult kids to go ... Fish is very fresh rolls are wonderful . I love the yellowtail lemon roll, with spicy tuna on the inside. Just so delicious and fresh! My husband liked the udon noodle combination which included California roll. They gave us a complementary cooked salmon belly which was so delicious!!! Very energetic staff and chefs . Very welcoming! Lovely ambience-- very artistic ! read more

My fiancé and I wanted to try a new sushi place while heading home on Labor Day weekend. After some searching we found Heemo and decided to give it a try. WOW were we impressed! We ordered the Kami kaze, the spicy rainbow, and the king dragon roll. Before I get into specifics about each roll, I want to mention the portion size. These rolls were HUGE! We did not expect them to be that big and ended up having to take some home. Our favorites were the Kami kaze and the spicy rainbow. The Kami kaze came with crispy fried onions on top (the real kind) and they were so addicting with the roll itself. The spicy rainbow was fresh and tasted fantastic with the sauces on it. Even though the king dragon wasn't our favorites it was still delicious. Our only critique was that the ratio of avocado to roll was a bit too much. We felt it needed about half the avocado and maybe something like cucumber to add variety in the texture of the roll. The waitress/host was so nice and attentive and everybody seems like they enjoy their job. We will definitely be back soon and it goes on my list of "must try" places for sushi. read more

We went to Heemo Sushi and were so pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish. Everything was fresh, delicious, and priced really well. The service made the whole experience even better . The owners were so kind and attentive, it honestly felt like we were eating at a friend's home. They even surprised us with a few complimentary items which was such a thoughtful touch We tried several rolls and the fish quality stood out right away. The yellowtail and salmon were melt in your mouth good and the sauces they paired with the rolls were fresh and flavorful without being overpowering. I also loved how generous they were with the amount of fish on each roll, it felt like a really good value for the price!!! Super clean interior too and warm cozy vibes :) DEF a spot I'll be coming back to again!! It was DELICIOUS!!! read more

Outstanding sushi, sashimi and rolls! We have been here, I think 5 or 6 times. The food seems to get better with each visit. Perhaps that is why they get very busy on Friday and Saturday evenings. I particularly like the wide choice of sake. They have a chart that rates the sakes from sweet to dry and then you can see where sake each falls on the chart. Like most other California sushi restaurants, Heemo has a wide range of speciality rolls with cute, descriptive names.I highly enjoyed the Aloha roll. Portions are large, the menu tells you into how many pieces each roll will be cut. Service tends to be quick & efficient while staying unobtrusive. read more

Came for a casual lunch and was blown away by the quality of the food here! Everything was reasonably priced and service was super friendly/helpful. I'd highly recommend the tuna or salmon sushi, the cuts of fish were huge and very fresh! Their mixed tempura was also great and had a very light, crunchy batter. Please don't sleep on this place!! It's definitely my new go-to for sushi in the 626! read more

We were craving sushi and this place was surprisingly so good. It was a semi-small place but their food is so underrated. I got their Chirashi Bowl (comes with miso soup), Mixed Tempura, and my girl got her own roll and sushi. The Chirashi Bowl's portion was huge; the cuts of every sushi were big, fresh, and the seasoned rice underneath tasted great. Miso soup was perfect; it wasn't too salty and it had a lot of tofu and seaweed. The mixed tempura was lightly battered and tasted fresh as well. Our waitress came to check on us on a timely manner and I'd say the service was excellent. There's always one or two discrepancies whenever we go eat somewhere but this place was a 10/10. Their food was honestly so delicious and I'd definitely come back again! read more

Heemo Sushi - So good we cleaned the plate - Sushi Bars Near Me - Duarte, California

It's family time, took them to Heemo. Mom got the baked scallop and 4 pc Volcano $7.5 each. Sis got the box salmon teriyaki $21 while my son chose the beef teriyaki $22. Both box specials came with 4 pc California rolls, side salad, 5 pc mixed tempura, and miso soup. I chose the lunch special 4 pc sushi, and Ninja roll. It also came with side salad, and miso soup. Everything was good, I just wish the sushi rice was a little softer and sticky. We also added the salmon collar which was grilled to perfection and came with a side salad. Our Server Harrison was nice and friendly. It was a casual dining experience. Parking was free and readily available. read more

The food is soooo yum here, and there's plenty to choose from. Ordered the 911 roll and a double albacore roll. Also had salmon and octopus sashimi, everything was 10/10. Service was great, waitress was super nice and attentive. I believe it was the chef, but he came out and checked on us ! That was epicccccc. They did forget our sashimi at first, but they gave us salmon on the house, so that totally made up for it :D ^_^! The inside is really spacious and clean! We came around 2 PM on a Monday, so it was pretty slow. Nonetheless, it was a 10/10 experience, will definitely be coming back ! read more
