| - First off, I should note that the reason I'm giving this place three stars instead of two is that I've ordered takeout many times and always been happy. It just so happens that I made the mistake of actually eating there the other night.
So we walked in at around 8:30 on a weeknight and the place was about half full. After waiting a surprisingly long time to be approached by a waitress, we were told to just sit anywhere. We picked a table next to two really loud teenagers (our fault) and began perusing the menu.
We decided to start with hot sake and I immediately noticed that one of the glasses had what looked like a small lipstick smudge on it. (The whole place looked dirty and rundown, honestly.)
For my main, I ordered the Crazy Maki (mixed fish, cucumber, avocado, tempura bit and spicy mayo). The first thing I noticed was how large the roll was. It was maybe double the size of a normal roll, which essentially made it impossible to eat. You couldn't really fit the whole thing in your mouth, but if you tried to take a half bite, the whole thing would fall apart. It was a frustratingly sloppy mess. (There's a reason most sushi is bite-sized, it seems.)
I should also mention that there wasn't a pair of chopsticks at the table and the waitress essentially disappeared after bringing the food, so I had to get up and ask a different waitress for a pair.
I'll probably continue to order Hosu for takeout, only because their bibimbap is cheap and tasty. But I'll never order sushi and I'll certainly never eat in again.
