Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ghost kitchen?
Nehmo operates out of a delivery-and-pickup-only kitchen inside South Coast Takeout. There's no dining room, but the food is made fresh to order, just like any restaurant kitchen.
How does pickup work?
Order online or through the kiosk on-site. When your food is ready, you'll get a text with a code to open your pickup locker. Grab your order and go.
Delivery orders are delivered to the address you designate.
Do I need to order ahead?
Same-day ordering is available, but our signature items sell out fast. If you want to guarantee the Giant Salmon Nigiri, ordering ahead is the safer bet.
What time do you open?
We open at 5pm daily and close at 1am. Everything is made fresh starting that evening, which is part of why it's worth the wait.
Can I dine in?
No dine-in or seating. Nehmo is built for pickup and delivery only.
Where are you located?
We're based in Costa Mesa, operating out of South Coast Takeout. Here is our full address: 2509 S Broadway Unit K109, Santa Ana, CA 92707.
What is the Giant Salmon Nigiri?
Our signature dish: an oversized, generous cut of salmon nigiri that's become a fan favorite online. Available fresh or seared.
Why does the nigiri look so different from regular nigiri?
We cut our fish thicker and more generously than a typical sushi spot. It's intentional, more fish, less filler.
Is the fish sushi-grade and safe to eat raw?
Yes. All our fish is sourced and handled to sushi-grade standards.
Do you deliver?
Yes, through DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats. Pickup is also available if you order directly through our website. Click here to Order Now.
Why is pickup cheaper than delivery?
Third-party delivery apps charge fees that we don't control. Ordering pickup directly through our site is the best value.
Can I customize my order?
Some items allow substitutions. Note any requests at checkout and we'll do our best to accommodate them.
Is Nehmo a restaurant or a virtual brand?
Nehmo is a real kitchen with real chefs, we just don't have a traditional storefront. Everything is made fresh on-site in Costa Mesa.
