The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is spacious. However, the sushi is insanely overpriced. £9 for 4 small pieces of any of the rolls. The Etsu roll is also very misleading, the roll is made with essentially the scraps of fresh tuna and mixed with mayo and added to the top of the roll (which is stuffed with cucumber?!)
The sashimi slices are average but again, extremely small. The taste is fine but not memorable in any way.
If the prices were 30-50% less then I could recommend this if you want average sushi.

Friendly staff, decent veggie options and most importantly, incredible food!
The tofu chef's special is super tasty but the tuna on the specials menu took the crown. Definitely coming back!

We have chosen this restaurant based on the reviews however unfortunately it was not a pleasant experience for us, as a family of three. To start with, the staff was not welcoming or friendly, when I was trying to keep one menu to order later again, I have had the serving lady pulling the menu from my hands- was weirdly surprised. Additionally, the sushi selection was not as spectacular as expected, did not have much choices. Overall, I would not recommend the restaurant or think of going back again.

Everyone must visit Etsu!!! The whole experience from the food to the service was flawless. I had the eel donburi and the chefs nigiri selection, it was the best food I have had in a long time. Etsu is the perfect place for all occasions from family meals to romantic meals. I can not recommend this place enough!

We had dinner here. Food was amazing and authentic, service was great. The lady who seems to be the manager was very attentive and nice though it was very hectic for her working behind the bar. I had apple gyoza for dessert. OH MY GOD! It was soooo good with very good balance of favours. Yuzu sorbet was very refreshing.
If we live closer to Liverpool, we would come here all the time!

If you want to eat Japanese food, I think I can recommend this place, but is it at the same level as a Japanese izakaya? However, I think this level is also extremely valuable overseas.
Let's try harder, Unagi. . .

Not knowing Liverpool well we got lost, but after a quick phone call to the restaurant one of the staff came out to us to guide us in. Brilliant. The food was amazing and the staff were so nice with recommendations of what to try, as this was our first time. What a great evening. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We would highly recommend them and will definitely be going back.

Came here on a Friday night as a party of 12, and the restaurant was very accommodating to us, especially as we ended up running late. The food and service were great. Happy to come back here again.

Absolute hidden gem! Wonderful staff, great atmosphere and very facilitating- we hadn't booked and they found space for us, but certainly recommend booking. Plenty of parking nearby and central to commercial areas.

Love this place, food superb. Gets very busy though, slightly dampening service and atmosphere.
