A celebration meal for my son who loves anything Japanese since his visit last year, food was delish and the drinks were lovely, a little bit more expensive than we normally pay but as it was a special occasion it was worth it. He also got a free double shot drink as it was his birthday, staff are very friendly and attentive. Would go again.

We had a great experience at Etsu and ordered a variety of items from their menu. The highlights for me were definitely the Etsu Roll and the chicken gyoza—both were absolutely delicious and I'd highly recommend trying them. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the soft shell crab, but I’m still glad I gave it a go—always good to try something new! We were also really impressed with the Mixed Set of 16—the quality was fantastic, and it left us feeling full and satisfied. The only small suggestion would be to match the fish on either side of the set so both people can try the same pieces, but that’s just a minor detail. Overall, the service was lovely and the food was amazing. We left full, happy, and already planning to come back! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: £50–60 Recommended dishes: Sashimi Set, Roll, Miso Soup, Mixed Sashimi Platter, Chicken Teriyaki
