After multiple recommendations from a friend, we stopped by on a Sunday night and were the only ones in the restaurant . The place itself is intimate as most seats are around the sushi bar, though there are a few tables. I love the decor as well.Everything about Heian was an amazing experience . The fish quality was amazing . Our main sushi chef, Cho, was very sweet and welcoming.We had the Spicy edamame, Muki Hotate ( absolutely delicious ) , Tuna Trio, Red Crab Handroll and Hamachi Handroll,, Osaka roll, Hiroshima, and a few other things that I can't remember off the top of my head. They also served us some dishes on the house .Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back.A gem in McKinney if you enjoy top quality sashimi, nigiri, and quality fish .

Heian specializes in handrolls and selections of daily special fish. If you want an authentic sushi dining experience in an intimate space, I do recommend it here. They do not do omakase, but they have a set course that includes a few appetizers, handrolls, and chef's choice nigiris. I ordered 5 sets of handrolls with a couple of nigiris and that was a perfect amount. FYI If you are a sushi connoisseur, their rice is on the little more seasoned side.Few of the stand outs:(4/5) Salmon HandrollFirst of all they stuff it with loads of salmon the meat is almost coming out of the roll. The nori was crispy and complimented so well with buttery salmon.(5/5) Uni NigiriThey really loaded up the nigiri with at least four pieces of fresh uni, or sea urchin eggs. It tasted fresh and not fishy, and I thought it was great for the value.(4.5/5) Crab HandrollAlso stuffed full, these finely shredded real crabs are tasty. Just slightly salty with umami. Would definitely order this one again.(4.5/5) Chutoro NigiriI mean it's chutoro, you can't ever go wrong with buttery delicate piece of medium fatty tuna. It melts in the mouth just the right amount while still having a slight chew.(4/5) Tuna CheeksBtw the service was excellent here, and our sushi chef was generous to give us little pieces of tuna cheeks on the house. I have never had cheeks of tuna before, and they were delicious while having good kind of chew.(5/5) Yuzu Ice CreamAn absolute must order. This flavor of icecream may be seasonal, so be sure to ask them if they have it. Yuzu is a type of Japanese citrus that has very bright lemony but distinct taste. This ice cream was so refreshing with the perfect amount of zest that I'm still dreaming about it to this day.

I've been in this strip mall a handful of times and never noticed Heian, but when we had a Girls Night planned for the Escape Room across the street, Yelp directed us to Heian for a pre-game dinner. I am so glad!The service was top notch and the sushi (and more) was delicious! Usually sitting at the counter where the sushi is rolled is too loud, but this evening it was quiet so we treated ourselves to a front row seat. Funnily enough my friend and I ordered the same thing - Spicy Tuna Handroll and the Kawaii Shrimp. The Kawaii Shrimp reminded me of boom boom shrimp, the sauce was delicious I ended up dipping my Brussel Sprouts into it later on. I'm not usually a fan of handrolls, I'd rather take my time with individual slices, but that wasn't an option so I went with it. The Spicy Tuna was incredible. The spice was spot on, the filling was plentiful and there was more tuna than rice. Well worth the $6. I was still hungry but didn't want another hand roll or sashimi so I decided on the Brussel Sprouts. The eel sauce and seeds were just right and the portion was decent for $6.All in all I really enjoyed the sushi, atmosphere and service. I would definitely come back!

Yum!! Quality was good and service is friendly. It's pretty casual but a good date spot too. They have daily and lunch specials, but I still think the menu items are reasonably priced! I recommend and will be back!

I am a California transplant so I miss Sugarfish deeply. I was planning to drive to Nobu Dallas today but was surprised to see Heian up the street from me and decided to try them out since they are much closer. I am so glad that I did! The food is delicious and fresh, and well portioned. My favorite item on the menu was the Hirame Carpaccio. It was so satisfying and tasty. The dish is giving Nobu's Whitefish Sashimi a run for its money, and half the price. I also had the Yellowtail, Salmon, and Spicy Tuna Handrolls. All 3 were pretty good, but the spicy tuna was my least favorite. I tend to like my spicy tuna with a little more mayo, which this did not have. The yellowtail Handroll was my favorite here.Finally, I HIGHLY recommend the Kawaii Shrimp. If you're a fan of Boom Boom Shrimp (or some places call it Rock Shrimp), you'll like Kawaii Shrimp because it's very similar. I ordered mine with a side of sushi rice and it was delicious.

Ok I'm a fan again. I never really stopped coming here; just didn't come as often. They have new chefs I've come to know now and the feeling I once had for this place is back. There are now lunch special options. They still have the same quality of fish; more cold dishes to choose from and I'm sure happy. Lately my favorites have been Suzuki, Hirame, Salmon and Madai. Definitely still ranks the best sushi in McKinney with quality.

The food was delicious. I ordered the 5 set with another salmon roll as my extra choice. Overall, the experience was good, but it did take a while to get menus and actually get served with a reservation. Once we ordered the handrolls were coming at a steady pace, and overall were delicious. Although the wait was long, the food was worth the wait.

I wanted to give this restaurant a 3.5 start but not an option in Yelp. The food was ok but the price is ridiculous high compared to the quality. One piece of uni is $20 but the sea urchin is not even close to the top quality (dark color, tiny, not sweet at all), which dont worth the money.I expected watching nigiri making process or having interaction with the chef as it's a reasonable expectation in a full-OPEN sushi bar. However, my friends and I sat there for 20 -30 mins watching chef's back only and waited all sushi coming together? 0 visibility of how the sushi made and almost 0 interactions.Well, If the chef doesn't like to talk or show their sushi skills, it's totally fine to not set the operation table openly, then we can just order and eat the food without any other expectations. Sorry, I have to say it was a boring experience, and we were unhappy at the end.

Lovely restaurant with a traditional Japanese setup where everyone is seated around the chefs as they prepare your meal. My friend and I tried their omakase. They give you miso soup, an appetizer, sashimi, nigiri, two handrolls of your choice and dessert. The food is excellent and the chef explains the elements of each dish they hand to you. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If you're not willing to pay for the omakase, they offer plenty of handrolls and other options where you can mix and match different types of sushi. They also have a nice selection of alcohol, but neither of us tried those. Highly recommend checking this restaurant out!

Situated at the front of a strip mall, it was easy to find. Unpretentious on the outside but looking in through the glass window it looked modern, clean, and organized. The center was the sushi bar and then maybe a few smaller tables against the wall on one side.Our first time here, we came on Valentines Day evening with dinner reservation, Feb 14, 2025. They had a mandatory special Valentines omakase so we didn't have to do much thinking, just go with the flow.Everything is fresh, flown from Japan. A couple of the sushi chefs are obviously tenured, they made the nigiri fast and skillfully. The chef making the handrolls was not as great, they came out loose and falling apart, even though it was still fresh and flavorful.I would say make reservations and come on a weekday that they get their fish flown in. Sit at the bar and order your favorites according to what is most fresh. The set menu actually was not the best way to highlight what they can do best. They tried too hard to make it "Valentine-y" instead of just serving great food.
