Great spot to have sushi! I always get the classic rolls since they are large sized and cheap. They have a big menu for specialty rolls for you to choose from. Servers are nice and polite. They also do this happy birthday thing where they dim the lights and play a happy birthday song over the speakers. I think that's pretty cool. read more

Average take out sushi. Nothing bad. Nothing that stood out. Maybe use a little less rice in the rolls. Other than that I would definitely come back if I felt like eating sushi again. I took out so not sure of the dine in service but from what I saw they were attentive to the customers there. read more

At first glanced, you might be thinking how little food you got, since you only got 6 pieces of a sushi roll. In reality, its quite filling. They put a generous amount of fish in each roll and you'll realized the diameter of the roll is in actuality much larger than most sushi places, and the salmon is fresh and delicious. There is also plenty of parking making pickup quick and easy. read more

Discovered Heemo Sushi when walking around the plaza where we usually frequented Baskin Robbins. Enjoyed a weekend lunch with some sushi! We went big, ordering a bit of everything. We got the mixed tempura, uni nigiri, unagi nigiri, spicy tuna roll, crunch roll, salmon skin roll, crazy roll, and the chirashi bowl. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Presentation was on point too. They have the most visually pleasing presentation for the chirashi bowl I've ever seen! There wasn't a lot of staff working that day, but we never felt like we were neglected. Food came out at a reasonable pace, waters were refilled, and our empty plates were collected timely. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Heemo Sushi is a welcomed addition to the Duarte community! read more

Service was excellent. Fish was fresh. But waaay too much sauce on the rolls leading to clawing sweetness or too oily/salty. Price was right. read more

One of my go to sushi spots in Duarte. The staff is super friendly, the place is immaculately clean, tons of options and most importantly the food is GOOD. Only downside is that only a third of the menu actually has prices which is a huge disadvantage when deciding what to eat on a budget. While this can't be any type of destination in the cuisine dense landscape of Los Angeles to stand competition against any high-tier sushi operation, I can't fathom what benefit a customer would have not knowing what they are paying for and letting the restaurant,"rake you over the coals" so to speak when the check comes so shame shame on you Hemmo. Otherwise order at your own risk. read more

What a hidden gem! My husband and I were craving some sushi and stumbled upon this place on Yelp, so decided to check it out. We tried the hamachi collar, agedashi tofu, and some sushi rolls -- everything was so delicious! The hamachi collar was a decent portion size and seasoned very well. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely return to try more of their food! read more

This is one of my favorite sushi spots in the SGV! Kim, her husband, and the other cooks/workers are always so kind and welcoming. They really do a great job in making you feel at home. If it's your birthday, they go all out celebrating you with a mini party, song, and dessert. You can tell they are loved by many with customers greeting the staff and they have a couple photo walls of people who come in as well. Maybe I'm biased, but I don't think there's a bad item on the menu. Every time I bring someone in for the first time they are so impressed with the food quality and service. 10/10 recommend trying them out! read more

Being a picky eater, I like to be able to select and customize the food how I like. Heemo is the perfect spot for that! Ok before I get them in trouble, when I say customize, I meant remove certain ingredients from their rolls. I've never asked to switch ingredients so I'm not sure if they actually do that. Anywho, their crunch roll is some of the best I've had. My favorite thing about it is that they are GENEROUS with tempura flakes. Like look at my half-eaten picture of the crunch roll. Before I touched it, I couldn't even see anything under the flakes because of how much they put. It looked beautiful. Another roll I recommend is the Volcano Roll. The baked salmon is cooked beautifully and the flavor of the roll is magnificent. read more

First time trying Heemo and was very satisfied with dinner! Came around 9:00 pm and although it was quite empty, they were still very inviting in serving us. :) Sushi rolls here were PACKED, fresh, and flavorful. Parking: Plenty of free parking in the plaza Inside: Very clean, spacious, and super cute Christmas tree! Service: Was seated quickly and our server brought out our rolls pretty fast. I saw their Yelp photo of Toro that looked delicious so asked to order some but they unfortunately ran out. However, they were super super kind to offer Blue Fin Tuna and Salmon Collar on the house. Thank you guys !! Order: Washington Phoenix Snow White Cupid Ordered 4 rolls and they were all equally delicious and packed with fresh ingredients! My favorite was the Snow White and Washington roll. Snow White was creamy and smooth with the cream cheese and salmon while Washington was refreshing with fresh chunks of mango that surprisingly paired nicely with the spicy tuna filling and seared salmon on top. Blue fin tuna was on the leaner side but still very yummy topped with fresh wasabi and the Salmon Collar was crispy, perfectly cooked inside, and lightly salted. Soo delicious! Thanks for a wonderful first experience here Heemo ! Service was amazing, rolls were delicious, and we had soo much leftovers. We will be back soon to try the Toro :) read more

My friends and I went to Heemo Sushi after traveling for a horrendous convention that we were attending. The event itself was a complete waste of money, and we felt that the trip was entirely a waste as we had driven from Vegas in the morning and we were driving back that same night. The one bright spot of our trip was this small sushi shop. Jason's service and demeanor were amazing - he kept us entertained throughout our dinner, and went out of his way to make sure that all of the alterations that we needed to the food were met. We will definitely be back again during future trips to California, and hopefully Jason will still be there so that we can enjoy his wonderful service then. read more

Very excited and happy to come to this establishment. The staff is very welcoming and makes the environment such a pleasant experience. The delicious food is so out of his world cannot enough , I keep coming back. The service, the quality the overall experience is a spectacular.

So this is now my 6th time this year as I look to find a new sushi shop in Monrovia/Duarte Every single time has been amazing and the chefs always offer something amazing that we don't order and we get it get it every time and it never fails to disappoint Today in 90 degree weather we got the morning side roll and it was absolutely refreshing!! On top of that I couldn't decide what I wanted so I asked the host/server SANCHIR to just randomly pick something me and WOW I got home with no clue what I was getting and it's probably the best two items I've had there The popcorn scallop and baked scalloped were absolutely Amazing So 5 star food and 5 start recommendations from their crew! And 5 star service read more

The sushi here was better than what I expected. The prices were reasonable as well for certain dishes. Service was fast and attentive for seating and ordering. The sushi came out pretty quickly, it took more time for the bento though, which was understandable since there is more preparation for it. I enjoyed the grilled mackerel, since it wasn't dry at all and had a good flavor to it. The restaurant was quite dim but it was still comfortable. The tables and chairs were clean as well. read more

We were hopeful for a great meal based on other good reviews. It started off well but we had to take stars off because the restaurant did not stand behind their product in our opinion. Some of the salmon sashimi was so chewy we couldnt eat it. Most of the dish was fine so we were expecting at least an apology and maybe some small measure of compensation from the restaurant - say replacement sashimi, a few dollars off, etc but we all we got was a waiter coming back to us and saying that the chef doesnt agree and the food is fine end of discussion. We eat out regularly and were hoping to make this place a frequent spot but now sadly this will be our first and last time at this place. read more

truly a gem in duarte! frequently eat here with my family - started going with just one kid and even right after i had my second. we have always received the best service, even with crying kids in tow. the entire staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming to us and my kids. we've always managed to secure a table quickly despite our 4+ party. the fish is fresh and their cuts are generous. they have a variety of rolls, with a majority of them having the california roll base, like most other places, but you'll find a few that aren't, like the salmon tempura roll. when i was pregnant i was craving salmon skin handrolls for a week, and they certainly hit the spot. my toddler's go-to is the chicken teriyaki set on the kid's menu. it comes with miso soup, waffles fries/fried potato wedges (whatever's available) and a honest juice box (if you're a parent, you know that's the best juice you can give your child without all the sugar). their fries are always fresh and we have taken them off the tray for ourselves every time. as far as i remember, we've received an item on the house every time we've visited - whether that's salmon collar, a dessert, or blue fin sushi. i think this is a great way to introduce new items to customers and it's certainly welcomed by all diners. now if only they started serving ayce...that would be incredible! read more

Came here this past Friday night after a gym sesh with my best friend. I can honestly say that I will be coming back. There is plenty of parking since it is in a plaza. Looking from outside it looked very busy and we were afraid we would have to wait. The host asked how many for a table and I said two and she seated us right away. My best friend and I got two rolls: SUNSET: There was crab inside. Salmon, Masago, and Green Onion -This roll was very delicious and I loved that fact that this particular roll did NOT have rice in it. SPICY RAINBOW: Inside is Spicy Tuna and Cucumber. And outside was 4 kinds of fish and avocado. -We enjoyed this one as well since we did wanted a variety of fish for our second choice of rolls. We enjoyed the vibe. The table next to us has a birthday. So, the staff turns down the light and plays music in the background as they hand him a cute flashing light type of crown and a desert as we all sang happy birthday to him. They restaurant also take a Polaroid picture of you and adds it to their wall of pictures. The staff were very friendly and the service was great. read more

Such a hidden gem. We found this via yelp for locations that had high ratings in the Duarte area. Overall, this place had the highest ratings, and yelpers did not disappoint. When we walked in, to staff members greeted us., and immediately sad. Restaurant was clean and had an atmosphere of low-key, delicious food, great service and ambience of relaxation. Ordered a couple different variations of sushi, included a couple of no rice options, some variations of sushi, and especially roll with different fish top with avocado (unfortunately I don't know the name of this one). Overall, this will be a place that we re-frequent again and make ourselves become frequent visitors of vision read more

This Heemo Sushi location was open last year and have always wanted to try them but just never had the chance until this past Friday. This location can be found in the same plaza as Smart and Final, a few doors down from Baskin Robbins. I made an order online in which I got: Chirashi Bowl, $25 prior to tax- This entree is served with white rice (but didn't taste like sushi rice) and with plenty of sashimi, a scoop of imitation crab, seaweed salad and a scoop of spicy tuna. This is an excellent portion for a very full meal for one person but also fair to share with another. I like the assorted mix in this meal. Rainbow Roll, $13.95 prior to tax- Color presentation, inside each roll is a California roll. Not the best rainbow roll, but was good. Volcano Roll, Baked, $6.95 prior to tax- Only comes 4 pieces, was a tasty baked salmon roll. ------------------------ (Total= $50.60 after tax) My order was ready the time I had requested to pick up, which was 6:30 pm. The friendly employee that greeted both my husband and I asked if we would like wasabi added to our order. My husband said yes so we waited a few minutes for it and then was given a small container of it to add to our order. I think the items we ordered was good, for the most part was fresh tasting. Although I have had better sushi and sashimi, I still enjoyed the food and think Heemo Sushi is still pretty good and would order from them again in the future. read more

If you're looking for a great sushi spot, this is it! I come here regularly and try new rolls often, I've never been disappointed. For lunch they offer great deals for a well rounded meal, and all rolls and sushi are a generous portion for the price. My favorites at the moment are their South Roll and their Geisha roll! Jason is always such a lovely presence there too, he takes great care of the guests and is super friendly. Give it a try! read more

High ratings - which may be true for the overall environment. But compared to DTLA places, this cannot really compete. It was not bad, but did not feel creative.

We went to our neighborhood sushi place on a blistering 100 degree Saturday lunch. AC was running well and it had plenty of parking in the smart and final complex. We all opted for the lunch special, which came with a premium type of California roll (with different fish toppings) with a name of either rainbow roll, red dragon, or ninja roll. It also came with four different nigiri rolls. The portions were huge, with thicker cuts for fish and generous fillings for the rolls. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. It definitely felt like we walked out of there as if we came from a buffet! read more

Service was good. Attentive. Polite. Very Clean. Great classic music. Not too long. Not the K-pop music like most places. From left to right rolls= Bellflower Roll = I'm not a big fan of bake. The texture of tuna was like meat. Not bad. Just not for my palate. Texas = if you like cream cheese, this is really good. Just need more fried garlic for garlic lovers like me. Yellowtail (forgot name) = very refreshing and flavorful! Phoenix = my most favorite! So flavorful and delish! read more

The waitress/hostess was incredibly friendly as we walked in and got sat right away. The restaurant is cozy and clean. They have a large variety of sushi but we decided order the Kami Kaze, spicy rainbow and the King Dragon Roll. They served the dragon roll first and we were surprised by how big the portions are. The crispy fired onions were amazing on top of the Kami kaze roll. My favorite was the spicy rainbow, it allowed me to taste how fresh their salmon, albacore, shrimp and tuna was. I shared these rolls with my fiancee and still had 3 pieces left. I can't wait to come back. read more
