| - I eat a lot of sushi. Like, a lot. I might actually be singularly responsible for depleting fish stocks off the Grand Banks - that's how much sushi I eat.
So I think I'm quite qualified to tell you that Ho Su at Yonge & Eglinton is a lovely place to go for a bite of the raw stuff.
First off, you'll get quick, efficient service with a smile. Nothing fancy, perhaps, but it's effortless and unintrusive. Thumbs up.
Secondly, you'll get nice fresh cold fish. A lot of sushi places have fish that's warm for some reason; it's like a fat man in a tutu - completely counterintuitive and unpleasant to consider. Ho Su presents your fish nice and cold and tutu-free.
Thirdly, it's all put together well AND delivered quickly to the table. If you eat enough sushi, you'll find that some places just slap the maki together so that it's on the verge of falling apart the second you pick it up off the plate. The overall effect is disappointing, especially because this is intended to be gastronomical art. Ho Su's chefs are well-trained and they obviously care about the food they deliver to patrons - I've NEVER had badly put-together sushi there and I'd say it takes, on average, 10 minutes from order to serving. Big thumbs up.
The prices are average for sushi - a MASSIVE dinner for 2 (like, stuffed to the gills...ha HA!) can be had for around $35 with non-alcoholic drinks. Of course, sushi is best eaten with a nice Sapporo, so I encourage you to splurge a little whenever possible.
And I've made myself thoroughly crave sushi. Gonna go get some now.
