Higo Sushi Peruvian Fusion — Restaurant in La Habra

I was looking to have some sushi with my daughter for a Sunday night dinner. I went online to look and I happened to come across Higo Sushi Peruvian...The place was spotless with a host that seats you, there is a sushi bar and dining tables. Everybody there was so nice and professional, very helpful. I ordered garlic edemame, two thumbs up, they were so delicious. The sample roll, it had 4 varieties of what I assume are their most popular rolls, two pieces each. The roll was outstanding, each one was unique in flavor and tasty for lack of a better word. Had another roll, can't recall the name, but delicious as well. Tempura was the crispiest I've had to date and the warm sauce was very good. For dessert we had these little crunchy cookies and also an ice cream that was orange in color but had this mild vanillaish flavor and great consistency. The food is infused with Peruvian flavors, and there are Peruvian classic cuisine options like Lomo Saltado. When you are seated they bring pickled cucumbers and ginger with wasabi paste as well as a Peruvian favorite similar to an avocado green chile not sure exactly what it's called but it was to die for. Prices were spot on, they might even raise them and I would still return. Happy customer. P.S. a couple arrived 5 minutes before closing and they were welcomed and treated gracefully....

I gave this place a 1 star due to its poor customer service; particularly from a server named Caleb. Caleb greeted us at the door and asked how many were in our party. I said two people. He said he only had outdoor seating, so we agreed to eat outside as we were starving. As he was escorting us to our table, I noticed a couple walking out, leaving an indoor table open. I sat outside for a minute and saw Caleb clearing the indoor table. I decided to approach him and ask if the table was available for us, as it was freezing outside (even with the heaters on).

Caleb rudely said or ordered me, "You go back outside, if it's open I will come get you." I said ok, but then it hit me. Why is he being so commanding and treating me like I'm a child, who didn't ask permission to leave my outdoor table. His tone of voice was condescending and just plain rude.

Higo's, you need to hire people who actually enjoy working with the public. Every other server I saw had smiles on their faces. This Caleb kid looked like he hates his job. I figured he must be related to the owner, and that's why he's able to behave in this manner.

My husband and I did stay as I was really craving Lomo Saltado, but I will NEVER return. We love eating out a lot, but I will gladly give my $$ and support to other restaurants who will appreciate...

My dad recommended me to come to this restaurant as he use to make deliveries of fish products and knew the owner. The restaurant is very clean and has great customer service. They have a variety of choices for sushi or sashimi as well as creative and distinct hand and traditional rolls. My husband and I ordered a 6 piece Toro sashimi, Caterpillar Roll, Crunchy with crab roll, chicken teriyaki with mixed tempura combo, and a miso soup. To begin, the Toro sashimi was really really good. The texture and taste were delicious. The rolls were good however, there was something salty about the rolls. For one, the crunchy roll has small pieces of corn tortilla so perhaps that also gave it a salty taste. Both the crunchy roll and caterpillar roll had eel sauce, which I really like, and maybe the eel sauce was salty? I am not sure, but there was something salty in the rolls that didn’t quite make us enjoy them as we would have liked but we ate them all anyway. As for the chicken teriyaki it was good but the teriyaki sauce could have been much more flavorful. The mixed tempura was very good as well as the miso soup. Although, some of our items tasted salty, we would definitely return to dine here. Hopefully next time it’s not salty or maybe that’s part of...
