Low Risk

Sushi Heeya appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2024. The most recent visit was on Apr 10, 2026. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “food-contact surfaces”, which has been cited three times.

That's lower than the typical Flowery Branch restaurant, which scores around 90. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
