The bluefin is always fresh & the spicy hotate is a must-try. You can taste the chef's skill and passion in every bite. The service is consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. For top-tier quality at a reasonable price, this is hands-down the best sushi experience you'll find in Orange.

I was on board with this sushi place until I learned they charge extra for spicy mayo. OK, I get…read moreit. It's a business, they need to make money. But if you're going to charge an average of $20 per roll, it would be nice if you can just offer a little something on good faith. And it wasn't like I asked for anything big - just a little bit of sauce to elevate an otherwise bland (and small) roll. My only favorite thing was the crispy rice with spicy tuna. Everything else was pretty average. Our first time was a weird experience. The lady looked at my BF weird during the tipping part as he was entering it on her Apple Pay machine, like she was expecting him to tip more or something. The whole thing felt awkward.

I want to like this place because the sushi does seem pretty fresh but the ambience is awful. It's…read morealways SO LOUD playing the most awful music while the TVs are always blaring. Between the TVs and the music, the place doesn't feels lower scale. They don't do the warm towels or anything. Just feels like maybe they are catering to a white person crowd who doesn't know better. Even the couple next to me were debating whether they should ask the staff to turn it down. Why not just have it be a classy quiet Japanese joint? The main older lady who serves people has trouble understanding English but she seems nice enough. I would be careful if you're gluten free. They use this old reused GF soy sauce bottle and maybe refill it from somewhere else and it's hard to rely on.

(Late post, this review is for 12/31/25)…read more Heemo is now my place to go for Japanese food. Conveniently located at the corner of Katella & Tustin which has plenty of parking. Food is delicious & price is reasonable. Service was quick & attentive. My daughter wants to come here for her birthday (her favorite place). We ordered Double Baked Salmon ($16), Caliente ($18). Caliente is my daughter's absolute favorite. She will order this plate every single time we go. Sunkist ($16) Double Albacore ($16) Popcorn crawfish ($8). All were excellent except Popcorn Crawfish (mostly just the fried batters) After we finished our food, the birthday celebration begins. Light was dimmed, up beats birthday song on the speaker. The waitresses came to our table to give the bday girl a build in lighted paper flower crown to wear on her head while clapping & singing a birthday song. They also brought a plate of Green Tea flavor fried mochi ice cream with candle. The Mochi ice cream was so so good & it's free. It was so special. What a nice surprise! Since then, we have been back many times, especially on our birthdays. Thank you Heemo & staffs for the great experience. We will see you soon

There is the option to sit at the sushi bar or a table or a booth. We ordered the omakase with a yellowtail hand roll and mixed tempura as an appetizer. The sushi quality was great and the mixed tempura was perfectly fried. My only complaint is that they go very heavy on the wasabi - so when eating some of the nigiri I wasn't able to taste the flavor of the fish over the wasabi. Im hoping it was an off night because I would love to come back and try again!

When it finally arrived, the quality seemed off. My husband and I ordered the omakase and a few rolls, and my daughter had a hand roll and rainbow roll. Most concerning, I became sick before we even left the restaurant, and the illness continued once I got home. My daughter also didn't feel well shortly after. This has never happened to us here before, and it was very upsetting. We've always enjoyed this restaurant, so I hope this was just an off night, but food safety and quality should never be compromised.

Rather than order all speciality rolls, we did a combination of cut rolls + 2 specialty rolls. It kept our meal balanced and budget friendly. -spicy tuna ($9 for 8pcs): cucumber + sprout -yellowtail ($8 for 5pcs) -awesome roll ($20): tuna, salmon, albacore, avocado in soy paper, topped with yellowtail, lemon, jalapeño +cilantro sauce -grenade roll ($14): shrimp tempura, imitation crab, avocado, cream cheese + jalapeño deep fried Honestly, I highly recommend ordering a few cut rolls. This gives you a chance to eat fresh rolls at really reasonable prices. Both the spicy tuna and yellowtail rolls were great additions to our meal. The specialty rolls were also very delish - excellent interpretations of any Americanized roll you've ever had. I love that the Awesome Roll used soy paper instead of seaweed. It was different and I liked it. The space is cozy with a cute outdoor dining space for warmer days. Their menu is pretty thorough with a lot to choose from. Perfect. Great. I love.

The service was great, and it was quiet since it's a Monday at 4pm. The location is small and cozy. I liked that the rolls were 4 pieces since that meant we could try more than usual. The rolls were good, rolls are usually hit or miss with me since they're normally too saucy. The 3 we got were good and had diff flavors (sexy Hawaiian, monster roll, and unagi xo). My 5 star goes to the yellowtail jala, omg it was SO GOOD and the yellowtail just melted in my mouth. We ended up ordering another one and I could honestly just eat this all day. I can't wait to have it again. I also got the bluefin tuba nigiri and that also melted in my mouth. The quality of the fish reminded me of having sushi in Japan. I can't wait to go back and get the nigiri's and the yellowtail jala!

All of these meals have been $18 or less, and I hope this location keeps it that way. My favorite part has definitely been the California roll and tempura, they're always so good and so filling. I think I like the salmon teriyaki the best since the salmon skin is also usually crispy. The servers are always good at letting me know when an item is almost done, and sometimes they'll offer a water cup while I wait as well. The restaurant is small, but the seats are always filled, which just goes to show their popularity. I will keep coming here for the deals and for the food!

I made a reservation for the bar (we wanted to do Omakase), and when we arrived at 5:30pm, there was a huge line out the door! Highly recommend a reservation if you do come here. We got seated and our chef's name was Steve. Huge shoutout to Steve, he was incredible, so kind, and provided a wonderful service and experience. We did the 10 piece omakase option and everything was amazing! We also got the Mushroom Miso Soup, Uni Pasta & Pork Belly dish (highly recommend all of these). One more note I wanted to add - from start to finish, the service here was truly wonderful. From our sushi chef, to all of the servers walking around - our waters were always refilled, dirty plates were taken and clean ones were given. Small things that make the entire experience amazing and keep you wanting to come back. Love this spot & can't wait to come again!

Tuna otoro & toro (middle left to right) - Best pieces. Super soft and melts in your mouth especially the otoro. Scallop, yellowtail, salmon (bottom left to right) - The plum topping on the scallop was kinda strange. Scallop was good otherwise and so was the yellowtail.
