Etsu
With the help of our three highly trained Japanese chefs, who between them have over 70 years worth of experience, we aim to bring the best authentic Japanese food possible to Liverpool. We also have Japanese waiting staff who will be able to answer most queries regarding all Japan related questions from the food to the culture or even planning your very own trip to Japan.

Etsu has a cosy and relaxed atmosphere with room for just 48 diners so be sure to book early to avoid any disappointment. We also have a large outside terrace for the warmer days and nights. Please feel free to wonder around our website where you will be able to learn more about Etsu and download our menus.

With the help and support of my wife and Japanese father my aim is to bring you authentic Japanese food. I believed for a long time that Liverpool was falling behind as most other major cities have numerous Japanese Restaurants. In Liverpool they were virtually non existent and so after 18 months in planning we finally opened Etsu.
We are happy to consider and assist with group bookings. We are able to accommodate up to 20 people sat on the same table and will also consider hiring out the entire restaurant for your group subject to minimum spend and/or hire fee. For bookings of 8 or more a 5 per head deposit is required to secure the booking which will be returned or reduced from the final bill for all members of the party who attend the restaurant on the booking date.
Having over 70 years experience each, our three chefs love a challenge to break away from our normal menu. Ingredients, circumstances and time allowing, we would be happy to accommodate you if you have a particular Japanese dish you know of that's not on the menu. Hi my name is David Abe and I am the owner of Etsu Japanese Restaurant, Liverpool.
Etsu is located at Beetham Plaza in Liverpool city centre. The entrance to the restaurant can be accessed from the Strand or most popular by Brunswick Street. Please Note: If you are visiting Etsu using a Satellite navigation system please enter the postcode L2 0PJ which will bring you to Brunswick Street.

Hands down our favourite restaurant in Liverpool, we eat here once every few months. It has a very authentic Japanese vibe, the food is incredible and the staff are welcoming and very respectful. This is a 5 star experience for us each and every time.

It really is a taste of Japan.
You will struggle to find a better Japanese restaurant on this island. I’ve certainly not had better Unagi anywhere. We always enjoy a mountain of food but it’s gone before many pictures can be taken!
The hospitality is also second to none. We have been coming since 2015 and as long as the doors remain open we will always be coming back.
5 stars is not enough for this place.

Visited this restaurant for my birthday, it was just me and my partner.
We could not have chosen a better place! My boyfriend visited this restaurant years ago and he still remembers how happy he was- and I've never been before.
What. A. Place.
Food is definitely top quality. We shared sushi, and not only was it probably the best I've ever had, it was also beautiful to see.
Our waitress was the nicest lady ever, always very smiley and very friendly.
I definitely recommend this place for a special occasion.

Delicious food and super friendly staff. Very accommodating to requests. Some tables even have charging points - really saved me as I had low battery and a while to wait until I could charge it. Would definitely recommend

Absolutely amazing here! Food quality was great and our bellies were most certainly happy after leaving here! Staff were wearing masks, sanitized the tables once customers have finished and upon arrival there is hand sanitizer machine! They were very friendly and made sure we were looked after.
They're doing such a fantastic job while we're in this pandemic and making sure everything is safe while enjoying brilliantly delicious food!
Really great first impression and I definitely look forward to going back again!
If you're looking for great Japanese cuisine, with high quality food, I would definitely

Lovely meal with my bestie. Food was delicious especially the pudding. Definitely needed a walk to walk it off though. Staff were friendly and so easy to chat to. Thankyou Etsu.

I had the chef's special and I just got a plate of sushi (very nice sushi) but nothing to make it a chef's special. Husband had the steak and he thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful

Japanese restaurant in Liverpool. Try it you’ll like it. Always full, good varied menu including sushi, plus lots more. Fabulous plum wine YUM 😋 good choice of spirits. The desserts are fabulous. Nice little touches to the tables with origami animals, good choice for something different. ❤️

The food is delicious, just wish portions were a bit bigger. The selection of fish was reasonable under the circumstances.
The service was top notch. I quite enjoyed my experience.
