Wow I'm so glad I checked this place out on a whim. I saw on social media it was a newly opened place. Everything here was amazing! They even hooked us up with a salmon appetizer! We ordered a lot and everything was delicious and didn't disappoint at all! Yellow collar, Takoyaki, Pink Scallop Carpaccio, 4 piece double albacore, mackerel nigiri, squid nigiri, Malibu Roll, Sunkist Roll. I'm not over exaggerating when I say everything was on hit! Can't wait to be back! read more

We decided to try Heemo Sushi in Tustin because of all the glowing reviews, but after our experience, I honestly question how legitimate some of them are. Right when we walked in, nobody greeted us. We stood around for a bit before having to find someone ourselves just to get seated. We started with three different sashimi selections, and they were all disappointing. The cuts were unusually large, had a strange slimy texture, and honestly looked and tasted unappetizing. I've eaten sushi for years and have never been served sashimi that felt that slimy before. We also ordered the Tustin Roll, Mystery Roll, and baked salmon roll. None of them were good. The Mystery Roll had some kind of puree on top that gave off a synthetic smell and flavor that completely clashed with the sushi. The baked salmon roll was drowning in sauce and was easily the worst baked salmon roll I've ever had. The teriyaki chicken was okay, but there was way too much cartilage mixed in, making several bites unpleasantly chewy. Our first waitress was friendly and understanding. After hearing our concerns, she kindly removed one of the rolls from the bill. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. Once the manager, Daniel, learned that we didn't enjoy another roll and weren't planning to finish it, he approached our table in a defensive manner and immediately demanded to know what was wrong. I calmly explained our concerns, but it felt like he wasn't interested in hearing feedback. Instead, he repeatedly emphasized that they were simply following their recipe. Whether you're following a recipe or not isn't really the point when a customer is explaining why they didn't enjoy a dish. As a manager, I would expect someone to approach dissatisfied customers with professionalism and genuine curiosity, not with an unapproachable attitude and elevated tone. The interaction left a worse impression than the food itself. If you're someone who appreciates quality sushi and fresh sashimi, I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere. This experience was disappointing from both a food and customer service standpoint, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Came here for Mother's Day after hearing this was a popping new sushi spot, so we had to give it a try. The restaurant is very nicely designed, super clean, and the servers were all very friendly. We came in with a large group and ordered a bunch of rolls to share. One thing I can definitely say is they do NOT skimp on the fish. Every roll we got was packed with spicy tuna, honestly some of the biggest sushi rolls I've ever seen. The portion sizes here are huge for the price you pay. If you're looking for a new local sushi spot with generous portions, this place is worth checking out. Support local businesses! read more

We had a great dinner at Heemo Sushi! Four of us ordered the following: - tuna lover (delicious! Definitely a hit if you love tuna, lol) - spicy rainbow (also very yummy - the albacore was especially good) - south (the table favorite - this was soooo good and melted in your mouth. Could eat this every day!) - crunch (always a hit) - shrimp lover (so so good! Even my husband loved this one who doesn't even like shrimp!) - chicken fried rice (honestly a HIT. The chicken was amazing and the rice was so good. The flavor was amazing!) This would have definitely been a 5 star spot, but there were just a few things that brought it down. Our rice was forgotten twice it seemed, and it took over an hour to come out. One of our servers even asked a few times whether we'd received it, and we said no. The wine corkage fee was also pricey - $25 to bring your own wine seems kind of wild, and the server didn't even open the bottle, she just left the opener on the table. We also asked what the sushi rolls were that were brought out, and it was clear she didn't know - she asked what we'd ordered, and we couldn't remember off the top of our head because the names are kind of funky, so we said we'd just figure it out. Aside from a couple little things, this spot was great. We will still absolutely come back, but we will plan to leave the wine at home and just order from the restaurant. Excited to eat here again! read more

This was our second time here for lunch and we brought more coworkers this time to celebrate a birthday. Many of the people in our group ordered some type of dish with teriyaki chicken and they did not like the taste of it. They left most of it behind. I ordered the lunch combination with a sushi roll and sashimi. This time around, the fish did not taste as fresh. The service overall felt a little awkward, and I think our waitress was still in training or new. As for the lighting, I noticed that it wasn't as bright, but it was much better this way. Maybe I'll come back on my own to try some other dishes before I suggest coming back here with my coworkers. read more

Definitely adding this spot to the OC sushi rotation!! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the quality of the fish was so good!! Each bite melted in my mouth, and you can truly taste how fresh everything is. The presentation was also gorgeous. The menu selection is huge, with everything from fresh sushi and sashimi to baked rolls, specialty rolls, udon, and more. There's something for everyone, whether you prefer classic cuts or heavier baked options. And warning.. the rolls are HUGE. We ordered: Salmon Carpaccio Baked Salmon Heemo Roll Baked Pink Scallops Samurai Roll Shishito Peppers Green Salad Sake The carpaccio was light and refreshing, the baked items were warm and savory, and the scallops had that rich, slightly sweet flavor. The rolls were packed with flavor and generously portioned. read more

Great service. Sushi was good, but it's definitely geared toward a tamer sushi pallet. Almost all rolls are spicy tuna or california roll bases with a very wide variety of variations on those. Then negi toro hand roll & the stir fry green beans were the star of the show for me. Good sushi place for the whole family with some stand out items for a more refined sushi pallet. We will return. read more

Absolutely incredible experience at Heemo Sushi. We tried the takoyaki, the 4-piece South sushi roll, the baked scallop, and the double baked salmon roll. Don't even get me started with the baked salmon roll, it was honestly one of the best baked salmon rolls I've ever had. Everything tasted super fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. They even brought us a complimentary dish that ended up being insanely good too. The service was genuinely amazing, attentive, friendly, and fast without feeling rushed. I accidentally spilled a glass of water (whoops) so my friend and I tried to clean it up quickly, but a minute later the staff came to check on how our food was tasting, noticed the spill and quickly got some napkins. They were super nice and didn't make me feel embarrassed from the spill! And honestly, for the quality of the food and the level of service, the prices felt cheap in comparison because it was THAT good. Easily one of the best sushi experiences I've had in a long time. Definitely coming back read more

Had a solo Sunday night and saw this place pop up when I was looking for places to eat and decided to give it a go! Located in a strip mall area, parking was fairly easy to find considering how many shops are around. Walk in and was greeted by the chefs and waitresses and opted to sit in the sushi bar. Browsed through the menu and all the prices were fairly decent! Ordered some sushi as well as a salmon skin roll. The whole restaurant looked very cozy inside. Whoever designed the place did a wonderful job. I have to say the presentation of the dishes were beautiful! The sushi came out first and the fish to rice ratio was awesome. Giant slices of fish with the right amount of rice. All of it tasted fresh and most importantly, very delicious! My favorite had to be the salmon skin roll as that's my go to every time. It was crispy and the rolls were huge! Paid around $33 for the meal which included 8 rolls and the salmon skin roll which to me is a very fair price considering the quality of the sushi and how delicious it was. Servers were very polite and chefs were very welcoming and said goodbye as I left the restaurant. Overall I'd say this place is worth checking out and definitely recommend getting your sushi fix here! read more

Came on a late night munchie run and got a tuna cut roll and a salmon cut roll with a side of hot sake. Don't blame me it was the wife's decision. Anyhow the staff were very cool even though we walked in with 30 minutes before closing which we never do. Still this place is a true gem from the aforementioned staff, roll quality, cleanliness and overall can do attitude. We'll be back again as we didn't realize this place was around. Come one, come all, it's legit! read more

Y'all don't sleep on Heemo! The rolls are huuuuuge, and very reasonably priced. Please take a moment to look at the photos (for sizing) before you order because my husband and I got 2 rolls and 6 pieces of sushi to split between us and we could barely finish it! (This is a good thing). Start with 1 roll to share and then just order again if needed! If I'm honest, the fish isn't the freshest freshest fish you can get- but it can hit the sushi craving spot, especially considering the price and location for our fam. They added an option to eat 1/2 of a roll- which I love so I can try different rolls. The salmon and yellowtail stand out the most as solid choices for sushi. The cherry on top--they have a $9 kids meal menu and the wait staff is VERY family-friendly. Not only did they ask us immediately how many high chairs we needed but they also noticed later that my son wanted to sit next to me on the booth and asked if I needed a booster. They were able to bring our kids' food first (so imp!). My daughter could not get over the waffle fries. My son devoured the popcorn chicken, and ate up the sushi rice. They also both shared an avocado roll. The size of the roll was also huge and they didn't skimp on the avocado portion. I wish I took pictures, but you'll just have to take my word and see for yourself! Lastly, I want to mention that I really enjoyed the ambiance. The music wasn't blasting (my preference for an enjoyable meal with or without kids). There was no wait but the restaurant was 75% full. I hope it always stays this way. Any place that is a win-win for both the kids and adults is a place we would recommend. We will definitely be back, and ready to order (more appropriately ;D) read more

I've come to Heemo a few times now and I've gotten a chance to try most of the menu. I normally come with my family and the kids normally get a chicken teriyaki with rice, waffle fries, and an apple juice for $9. The kids are happy with the portions and I'm happy that have enough to eat without having to order more. My wife and I normally get a small sashimi platter which has generous cuts of fish that are high quality. I think salmon and yellowtail are the best, but everyone has their own preferences. The price is a little bit higher than other sushi restaurants but my wife and I keep coming back because of the quality. read more

The ambience of this place is great. I love what they did with the space. The menu is impressively extensive. There are pages and pages of things to order and I was extremely excited about the selection. We ordered the udon and combined it with tempura and California rolls. We also got two speciality dishes and the presentation was great. However this sushi is mainly driven by the sauces they use and not the tenderness of their fish. I'm going to come back to try this place out as it's still new and things could change. I still recommend coming here to support the business and assess it on your own as everyone has different preferences. read more

Heemo Sushi, in Larwin Square, is my new favorite sushi restaurant in Tustin! The rolls are big and so are the sushi pieces. The sushi is incredibly fresh! Everything I've had so far has been very good! I love that you can order a half roll of a few rolls. I get more variety that way. The prices are very reasonable. They just opened about 2 months ago. I have eaten there about 4-5 now and it never disappoints. A must try in Tustin if you crave some good sushi! read more

I just had an excellent eating and dining experience at Heemo Sushi! My niece and I came here randomly and I'm very glad I did! This is a new restaurant and we were the only ones there for quite some time, but based on this experience, I'm certain traffic will pick ip significantly. Environment: It's nice and bright, with great music playing. My niece and I sang along throughout our entire meal. Theres a seating bar, tables and booths. We opted for a table/booth combo. There's restrooms in the back. Service: Excellent. Our serve was very sweet and attentive. Food: DELICIOUS! We had the crunchy roll, spicy California, Alaskan, and another whose name I can't recall, but delicious none the less. It was so big I couldn't eat any piece in one bite. The avocado was perfect! We also had a salad with tuna, albacore and salmon and again, delicious! I would highly recommend this spot. I'm already thinking of who I can bring here for a great meal. Try it out! Thanks Heemo, I'll be back! read more
