Etsu is a Japanese izakaya which focuses on local amazing produce in our dishes which are designed to be shared amongst friends. We have one of the largest Japanese whisky collections on our back bar which we recommend served over hand cut ice or try one of our sakes or Japanese tap beers. Our sashimi is the freshest around and our fave place to sit is at the dining bar. Kanpaii!!

    Food was amazing. Staff were friendly and knowledgable however when offering the specials did not mention the hefty price tag which was a surprise when receiving the bill. $110 for a small steak would have been nice to know in advance. We were also refused dessert due to time - even after being stitched up with the expensive “special”

    I’ve been here quite a few times but god this time the food was not impressive at all, very simple and boring. I’ve always known this to be the best Japanese on the Gold Coast but definitely not the case anymore.

    We very much enjoyed our evening with friends at Etsu. The venue is amazing, every course we chose was absolutely beautiful. Wine list and service excellent. Presentation was second to none.
