| - Where do you go when two of you are dining out and one of you wants Korean, while the other's feeling for Japanese? Ho Su, where a trio of Korean appetizers (edamame, kimchee, and spicy beans) are served on the house while you flip through the colourful menu featuring tantalizing photos, is sure to satisfy.
From the sidewalk, you'll notice the chalkboard advertising a number of daily specials that are incredible steals of a deal (under $10) range from hot rice dishes to sushi sets.
The list of appetizers to choose from is lengthy. My favourite is the kaki fry ($4.95), lightly breaded, deep fried oysters. The chap chae ($2.95) on the other hand, is nothing but a disappointing little pile of vegetable-less glass noodles. For those who like a like side of kick with your raw, try the Korean hwae dop bop ($9.95), diced assorted sashimi atop salad leaves served with spicy sauce and a side of rice.
The tiny front patio right on Queen is a great place to people watch, but beware of crazies who are not afraid to come right up to your face to tell you something you'll spend the rest of your dinner trying to decipher. That's happened twice to me, but out of many, many visits, so it's like winning the lottery. Not everyone is so lucky.
