Great sushi! They may seem pricey from the menu but once you get the food you'll understand. The hero roll pieces are huge and you get 10 of them. Other rolls are standard in size. Overall it was delicious and I can't wait to try them again.
I like this place.. Perfect for any parties. To go tray are big enough for 10 people.
The sushis here are great! I am not a fan of raw protein sushi, but I loved the spicy California roll and shrimp tempura roll. The names for the sushi rolls are really catchy. Definitely returning to this place to try other sushis. Definitely recommend. I had them delivered, so no idea on dine-in experience.
I ordered a catering order for 10 people for my business and I am beyond ecstatic that I found Sushi Heroes. Their food is amazing and everything was fresh and tasty! Will 100% order again in the future.
I ordered the sidekick platter where you can choose any 5 rolls for only $65! That is such a steal. Bought it for my mom for mother's day and she loved it. Since it was mother's day they quoted a wait time of an hour but we showed up 10 minutes early and it was already ready for us! This place is the place to go if you want cheap and delicious sushi!!
Sushi Heroes is my go to spot to fix my sushi needs when I want to indulge and not feel unsatisfied. They are a ghost kitchen that serves single rolls to platters and as you can see here I usually get the platter to feed multiple people at once. This is a good tray to bring to a potluck with friends & coworkers. The sushi is always fresh and they got a wide variety of rolls named all superhero’s from marvel and dc. If you want there’s benches in front you can just order, pick-up, and eat right in front. However depending on the time of day you may get some sun in your face. This location is in a warehouse plaza that has what looks to be some sort of machine business next door so it may confuse you so follow the gps and look for the signs. They separate the type of rolls into categories like fusion rolls, avenger rolls, side kick rolls, etc. So when ordering a platter the price will vary. Roughly 40-80 for 5 rolls & 125-140 for 9 rolls. My only issue with this is because majority of rolls have nicknames to them, when ordering in the app it doesn’t really tell you what’s inside the roll, only the name. So it’s wise look at their menu first to see the ingredients if you order online.
I ordered a large platter for a small dinner. For 4 adults and 1 child we had more than enough for everyone to take some home. The presentation, freshness, and price are unbelievable! This will be our regular takeout spot going forward!
I was between a 3 and a 4, but I'm going to give Loulan the benefit of the doubt since they look new. I've ordered a couple of items (via work delivery), and I have to admit this is not a cuisine that I'm too familiar with. I have not eaten in the restaurant, and I'm not sure if this is even an option. Fried Noodles: There wasn't a lot of flavor, and they were incredibly spicy (great for those who want more "legit" heat). The portion size was quite good, but perhaps not great given the price point. I did enjoy the texture of the noodles themselves and how they were cooked (a bit more al dente) Meat Buns: These were quite delicious. The size of the bun felt quite large, and I enjoyed the taste of the filling. The filling was quite full, and it felt like they were not skimping on the filling. Also, despite being delivery, the pastry shell was still quite flaky which I enjoyed. Overall, worth a try to see if this is your thing or not and / or a good option if you're looking for something different.
