We came here for dinner the other night after seeing the good reviews here on Yelp. The food was fine but nothing special. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was absolutely empty when we got there around 6:30 on a Friday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This made us feel a bit uneasy but maybe it was just a slow night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was only one other table that came in during the time we were there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is in a strip mall and doesn't feel like the best area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a bit dingy inside but seemed clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waitress was nice and quickly came over to get our drink order. The menu is online via a QR code so make sure you have your phone handy. We ordered a few special rolls and some regular rolls. The food took a little while to come out despite the place being empty. The sushi was fine but nothing special. The El Diablo roll was probably my favorite and packed a decent amount of heat. The rest of the rolls tasted pretty good but I didn't love the bigger pieces of cucumber in them. On the plus side, the prices were pretty reasonable. read more

Ho Sushi Bistro - Variety of rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Everett, Washington

I'm going to be completely honest with you, this place isn't very good. Despite being in a state that has access to fresh fish and seafood, this place uses always frozen. Fish texture is that grainy, mushy kind. I'm not expecting Japan level sushi, but for the prices that you're paying per roll, you'd expect a little better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is fine, tables are a little sticky (you know what I'm talking about).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food presentation is good though, staff are hit or miss. Go here with expectations, then you may find this place okay to fix your sushi craving. read more

The sushi is vey good and fresh. The spicy salmon roll has a perfect fish to rice ratio. It could be a bit spicier but that's just my preference. The crawfish roll was good. Service was awesome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is nothing special but was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall a very good sushi place read more

The Sushi we ordered was delicious! Louisiana Roll was our favorite. This roll is fried, has a little kick of heat, overall good flavor and texture. El Diablo Roll. A little bit of heat, the fish had a fresh light taste and texture that helped break up the richness of the Volcano. Volcano Roll. This roll was very rich, it was delicious but ideally we would only comfortably eat 1-2 each. We did eat them all and they were delicious though! Overall beautiful presentation of the rolls, the orders came in a good time, and we received everything we ordered. Our server was kind and prompt in taking our order and bringing it out. They have contactless menus to scan at the table and majority of the items, if not all, have photos, and they have booth style areas to sit. read more

No complaints here! Don't let the name fool you, or the exterior appearance. This place has good service, they're very attentive and very nice. The portion sizes are larger than what you'd expect from similar places and the price is less. My family always comes back to this place if we're hankering for sushi. Give it a try. I wasn't disappointed, maybe you won't be either. read more

I went November 24th for lunch around 1:15pm with a friend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was a nice location with great parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waitress was a very nice lady who took our order promptly and accuracy. The sushi rolls are pretty good for the price, especially the unagi cucumber rolls and the yellowtail nigiri was on point. My buddy really liked the bento box and the miso soup. One criticism was how the chef or owner was talking to the waitress. I get it things happen but if you're going to criticize and yell at your staff, don't do it in an area where there are customers especially when there aren't that many customers and the service was pretty good. I'm not a sensitive person but trying to have a conversation while someone is yelling at their staff and constantly giving them crap about their hearing after you already made your point for the next twenty mins isn't a good look. Probably a one time occurrence hopefully. Otherwise. Sushi is relatively good for the area. read more

My second visit and of course I had the seafood ceviche again, and it didn't disappoint. Definitely 5 stars. Decided to just try a host of other things... Lemongrass shrimp (0 star) - whoa, terrible. DO NOT ORDER. Overpowering salty, tangy, and (I think) sweetness... honestly, could not identify exactly what made it awful, but it was. Volcano roll (3 stars) - it's ok. The mayo was too overpowering, and there were just too many flavors going on. If you like heavy and rich tasting foods, this is probably a good dish for you. Sashimi appetizer (3 stars) - again, ok. It's not super fresh, but it does have a good variety. Gyoza (4 stars) - the gyozas themselves are mediocre, but the dipping sauce with its tangy sweetness that I can't quit pin point is a huge hit. I probably would have only given this place a 3 star review based on the food, but the customer service was exceptional... when the waitress noticed I didn't like the lemongrass and offered to take it off the check, but I opted to pay for it since I didn't want them to lose money, but definitely stay away from the lemongrass chicken. Probably wouldn't recommend if you're looking for tier 1, A+ sushi, but it's a good place for reasonable meal. read more

The rolls we got were amazing. The waitress was quick and attentive and friendly as well. The setting was really clean and nice. I highly suggest the Manhattan roll, it was my favorite. read more

Service is always good here. Everyone is always friendly. We get seated quickly and we don't have to wait too long for food. Plenty of seating inside. They have a pretty standard menu for a sushi restaurant. Prices are pretty standard too. Food is good. I like their specialty rolls. read more

Sushi is the one food I have missed the most in 2020 and still in 2021. I hadn't gone out for sushi, picked up from a few spots occasionally but sushi really tastes best when it goes right from the sushi bar, a feet feet over and eaten fresh. So the other day we decided to finally go out and enjoy a sit down meal. We came in late since we had to work but we knew what we wanted and we were hungry so we knew we would be quick! Wait time at 8:10 was quoted 15 min with two other tables sat. It ended up being much quicker than that, 5 or so min! The sushi bar is closed, seating is still limited, we were seated on the side where everything was closed off and it just felt still like that area was closed but we were there. It's still not quite the dining experience I think we all miss but the waitress was nice, service was quick, and food came fast. We ordered the crab rangoons, tako yaki, and two rolls (seahawks roll and da bomb). The crab rangoons were mainly cream cheese, very little crab and a lot of rice paper. The tako yaki was very good though, I highly recommend! As for the rolls, we liked both but were a bit underwhelmed. Nothing stood out too much and it still wasn't quite the freshness we miss from sushi bars. Perhaps because it was later so that's our bad, but we'll definitely have to visit again for another try. read more

I came in on Tuesday night. It was quiet and I was seated right away. Server was also the hostess and she was polite and attentive. I ordered: * Mixed tempura entree--rice with shrimp and vegetable tempura, and came with miso soup and salad * Amaebi shrimp sushi with deep fried shrimp heads * Salmon sushi * Seared salmon sushi * Dragon roll The seared salmon sushi and Dragon Roll were excellent. Both delicious. Salmon sushi tasted fresh and very good. I like that the rice was still a little warm and it just melted in my mouth. The amaebi shrimp and tempura and soup were just above average. Freshly cooked. The salad was good, but would have preferred a Japanese ginger/carrot dressing or something like that. I'd come back again for their sushi for sure. read more

The family really wanted sushi for dinner so we came here to try a new spot out. When we got to the door there were a few people eating dinner inside and we were told it will be a 15 min wait for a table. The hostess took my name and number and told me she would give me a call when the table was available. We waited maybe 10 minutes and we were seated. Once we sat down our drink orders were promptly taken and they came out very fast. Once we decided what we wanted to eat we ordered, which was a lot of food! The waitress was cracking up because we were poking fun at at son who ordered 3 rolls for himself, she was blown away he could eat so much. After a good laugh we had our order in. The food didn't take long to come out and we started digging in. Every roll we ordered looked amazing and the taste matched what we saw. I'm a sushi snob and I was loving the flavors each roll had! We had a great experience dining here and we will for sure be back! read more

Wow wow wow! Pulled up, seemed insignificant. Walked in-- blown away! Brand new inside, very comfortable, adorable cabana sushi bar, extremely fast and delicious, wonderful soundtrack with perfect volume. We had made a reservation for just after they opened. Waitress- Mindy, 5 star service-- she served 5 parties with no delays. The chef creates very tasteful flavorful sushi, beautifully arranged, and generous. We reordered the Las Vegas, TNT and crunchy fantasy rolls. Started with miso soup, green tea and Rangoon, then the rolls started coming in!!! It would be a tragedy NOT to come back. read more

Ho Sushi Bistro - Manhattan roll, shaggy dog, mango (yum), and Las Vegas! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Everett, Washington

OVERALL: 7.8/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 3.9/5 - rounded up to 4/5). I generally don't hit up places around the Mill Creek area, because (a) I don't live in that area, and (b) I subconsciously compare everything to Seattle, and that's not fair, because Mill Creek has places too! I stopped by since it had a decent average rating, and I had to play a tennis match in an hour. 1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 7/10. The menu had a relatively decent selection: hibachi bentos (lunch/dinner), ramen, sushi / sashimi a la carte, sushi rolls, hand rolls, teriyaki, and udon. My issue was that there didn't seem to be any kind of specialty dish - sort of like a "jack of all trades, master of none" place. I'd posit that ordering more rolls than anything else would yield a better result, since there was certainly a lot of sushi and roll selection (I saw ramen - I started craving ramen). 2) FRESHNESS: 6/10. The spicy tuna roll that came with the "Ramen Combo B" was decent (say 7.5/10), and the green tea was adequate (8/10). The ramen dish is where I took issue (5/10, if that) -- the soup had enough MSG in it that I could feel how much bloat it would give me by just looking at the surface of the broth. The noodles were "okay", but they generally had a neutral-to-"none" flavour. The togarashi topping helped to give *some* flavour, though. The major complaint I had was regarding the egg - which was extremely hard-boiled - there was no yolk whatsoever, which made me sad, because it's *ramen*! Minor complaint about the spicy tuna roll: it was an inconsistent size - some of the rolls were tall, others were short. 3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 9/10. My full meal $15.96 (after tax, before tip) for green tea & "Ramen Combo B", which included shoyu ramen and an 8pc spicy tuna roll. I went in hungry, and felt full leaving, so decent value for money. Unfortunately, the MSG in the broth made the soup hard to drink fully, but I did enjoy everything else in the combo. 4) SERVICE: 9/10. From what I could see, there were 2 wait staff (1 primary, 1 secondary), 2 sushi chefs; everyone always seemed busy. Note: I dined alone, so that might have helped expedite my experience. After ordering my food & green tea, I received all of the items within 10 minutes, and was able to finish eating, get the check, and pay within 40 minutes. I was somewhat saddened by the lack of green tea refill - especially since the restaurant wasn't *that* full, and a lot of time was spent in between "when dishes were ready to be served". That may have been due to the distance between the (central preparation) area that the dishes were coming from, and the tables that had ordered them (which were on the far reaches of the restaurant). Another note: There were tons of open tables - I can see how this place may get busy on a Saturday or Friday night, but on the Sunday evening (around dinner hour - 6pm) that I went, there were maybe 6-8 other parties in the restaurant. The big plus was that they accommodated my peanut allergy - when I originally ordered the "classic" Ramen Combo B, the wait staff went to put my order in, and warned me that I should avoid that one due to possible cross-contamination - recommending the "shoyu" option instead, which I went with, and had no issues with! 5) CONSISTENCY / FIRST IMPRESSION: 8/10. Decent first-time experience, I'd definitely come back! This place seemed more suited for parties of 3 or more, simply because there were very few tables that sat exactly two people (and the seating arrangement didn't seem that flexible, since a lot of the seating was booth-based bench seating, for mostly parties of 4 or more), and that's definitely reflected by the large selection of rolls available (which you could order multiple of, for the entire party). The dinner bentos also seemed interesting - I was fairly close to trying one of the teriyaki dinner bentos (since they're hard to mess up, and I needed energy for a tennis match), but ultimately I picked a "ramen combo" that included a basic sushi roll as part of the combo. For one person, the combo size was large enough. read more

The service at this place is horrendous. I had came in and had asked if there was a drink menu and the older woman serving us responded with very unnecessary attitude and seemed annoyed that I had asked. They have 3 different menus which could be confusing to anyone and I personally find unnecessary honestly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in, the environment is not friendly nor is it welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When we had came in we were standing there and the same older woman was just staring at us instead of attending to us. If I could give a zero star I honestly would, not only because good personal interactions and customer service are important working in food service but because their food has downgraded as well. I remember getting a roll about maybe 6 months- a year back from here and the fish in it was warm and tasted extremely fishy, save yourself the trip and find a nicer more welcoming sushi spot you won't regret it. read more

Our New Year resolution is to try new restaurants, this is the first. The south county area is packed with sushi places; I drove past 4 other sushi joints to get to Ho. The layout is typical, tables and a bar to sit at. Overall, it felt messy and cluttered. The service was not stellar, only a single person serving and putting together the orders. The server really needed help. She was very pleasant, but tired. Ho's menu has a great selection of rolls; they taste as good as they were described. The dinner was nice, the service was slow, the facility needs to be tidied up and cleaned. I don't know if we will return; the sushi competition is fierce. read more

New owners, totally different experience than before. So much better. They've only been here a few weeks, and they're still getting the feel for the joint. And there are still a bunch of things they're doing that I need to try. So I'll need to update this update in the near future. Long story short, this place still has the flashy decor and soft light it always has, and it's still a great big dining room on a bustling street. But you walk in and you forget how busy the world is outside. The new chef has room to move behind the sushi bar and in the kitchen. They've added ramen and many hot fish dishes to the menu, and I can't wait to try those. The old menu is still in effect while they get to know the regulars--they're adding new choices but not taking anything away. The fish is excellent; we had a huge sushi boat that was covered with sashimi and nigiri with some really cool rolls in the middle (including lollipop rolls, which I'd never had before). Prices are good, and service is so friendly. I can't wait to come back and try all the different stuff they're planning. read more

This place has taken an awful turn, almost as if new ownership has taken over. Ordered food on DoorDash. Main issue: we ordered Salmon sashimi and received a salmon roll. The fried roll we ordered was BARELY fried, most of the avocado in one roll has brown spots all over it (clearly not fresh), the roll that has mango on it...didn't have any mango on it. Lo and behold, we're not eating these rolls tonight. I mean come on, can't even get one thing right. Which sucks because this place used to be really good...NOT ANYMORE. read more

Love the fresh quality of fish that is served here! Every times we've gone, we've been pleased with how fresh the fish was...however I'd skip the udon and ramen. This time around, we got the Ho sushi for two ($50 I think...they increased their price recently) which comes with 2 rolls, nigiri, and sashimi- nicely placed on a boat and honestly could serve 3-4 depending on how hungry you are. We recognized a server that was at Oshima sushi in H-mart and she's always been a great server, so we were excited that she works here now. It might be tricky to find if you miss the turn in front of it but I definitely recommend this place! We'll be back soon, for sure. read more

Ok so I love this place. You know why?! They make a tofu bento box for $6.95!! Tofu with rice, salad , some veggies, and soup. Plus you get a choice of a roll or tempura. It's a veggie head dream. The chef lightly fries the tofu in a light crust and the teriyaki sauce is light and thin. They also make these huge cherashi bowls with sashimi and a bunch of yummies. I haven't tried it but man it looks good. Great spot for lunch. I just adore the waitress! She runs the place all by herself and does it well. Almost like an art! read more

I may find myself in the Everett area once or twice a year so when I am there I usually have no clue where to go. Turning to Yelp I saw a nearby sushi restaurant and decided to check it out with a co-worker. The GPS was a bit off but we managed to find the restaurant in a strip mall. The outside was a bit run down looking but the whole area needed a refresh. Parking was easy enough. Upon entering we were promptly greeted and told we could sit anywhere as only one couple was sitting at the bar. Our server was polite, prompt, and very professional. We ordered gyoza, a Seattle roll, a crunchy roll, and a couple pieces of sushi. Now I would like to stress that the overall experience was very good. The place was cute inside and very clean. My Seattle roll was delicious. My co-worker liked the gyoza and my hamachi belly was divine. The problem we ran into - or I should say my co-worker did - was finding a long strand of hair embedded in one of the sushi pieces. It was not her hair. It wasn't mine. But it was basically a turnoff. My friend and I mentioned it to our waitress who whisked the roll to the back and then came out with apologies. When we went to pay she informed us that they comped the roll. I am giving four stars because their response was solid and the food was good minus the hair. read more

The staff is very professional and the place is clean. But the fish portions on the sushi are on the smaller side. I ordered a black dragon which has eel on top and is similar to most restaurant's dragon rolls. The eel on the roll was limited. Usually it's supposed to be hanging off with the tail dragging at the end of the roll. I ordered a different roll thinking this must be abnormal but that roll also had limited fish. They don't have a happy hour but the overall prices are reasonable. I don't think we will go back due to the limited fish on the rolls. But the price isn't bad. read more

First time trying this place! :) We ordered a Seared salmon roll (3.5/5), could have been better with a little bit more of the garlic sauce and more seared. Didn't have much of the seared flavor, although the fish was fresh and no fishy smell. The Jumbo California Roll (3/5) was not as crunchy and could use a little less breading. Don't be intimidated of the Special roll prices, the VEGAS ROLL WAS A (5/5). The cream cheese and spicy crab on the top with the lotus root will win your tastebuds over Presentation was spectacular. Green Tea was A+, wish I had some in my cabinet back home. read more

Really wanted to try this place because of the good reviews however upon arrival the door was locked. I came on a Friday afternoon around 12:10pm. Listed on the door they had their business hours stating they would be open from 12-3pm. Giving benefit of the doubt I waited about 15 minutes and even tried calling their phone with no luck. I'm really disappointed with this experience and hope to return in the future when I get to try their food. Until then maybe a sign or anything could be posted about being closed during these times. read more
