| - UPDATE July 6 2014: We went back to Etsu for their Summerlicious lunch special. It seemed like a good deal, and it was. We were impressed with the appetizer (sashimi salad) and the main course sashimi/sushi/maki platter. Ice cream dessert was okay. For $15 it seemed like good value. So I'm increasing the rating up to 4 stars given the good service we received and the good food. I should mention that while we were there, a table came in, sat down, and tried to order from the Summerlicious menu without having a reservation. Even though there were several empty tables, the waitress (no doubt having been told by her boss) would not allow them to since they had no reservation. So the table eventually just left. To me this is misguided; why lose customers when the restaurant wasn't even full?
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I first came here with my girlfriend a few months ago, shortly after the change in ownership. It was a great experience so we went back today. We arrived around 11:30am, and even though the door was open, when we stepped inside the waitress told us that they're not open yet, they open at noon. Their website still says they open at 11am so they haven't bothered to change it yet. Okay, no problem, so we wander around the area for half an hour, and return around 12:10. We sit down and look at the menu, and quickly noticed that they no longer offer any sushi lunch specials like they used to on Saturdays. Now the only lunch specials they have on Saturdays are katsu options. It also seems like their prices have generally increased quite a bit since the last time we visited late last year. They waitress advised us that they got rid of the lunch specials "four days ago." Bad luck for us?
Since they didn't offer any sushi specials and their prices were a lot higher than we expected, we decided to find a different place to eat. They didn't seem too concerned that we were leaving, although the waitress did apologize in a half-hearted way. We went down the street to ND Sushi and it was a good choice, they had sushi and sashimi lunch specials.
