+.5 for service
I think U of T students should feel spoiled that they have so many great sushi restaurants nearby...or great restaurants in general. Ryerson as well. Etsu is simply one of tens of sushi restaurants that's within walking distance of the two campuses.
Coming in for lunch, the place was pretty much full seated. However the servers did get to me in a reasonable speed, so all was good. I ordered the sushi lunch plate, as I wanted more sushi compared to other bento ingredients.
The sushi was really well crafted and tasty, and even included scallop! Many of the fish were seared (which I love but some people might dislike), but the essentials were there. As long as it's fresh, tasty, and presented in somewhat of an acceptable manner, it works for me. This meal fitted the whole bill IMO.
Service was very good despite the busy-ness of the restaurant. The employees covered all corners of the restaurant well, and turnaround is quite fast. So even if you have to wait...it won't be long!
