Book NowAbout SUISHIN
Tucked away on Fitzroy Street, this Surry Hills spot trades conveyor belts for made-to-order nigiri, tender wagyu skewers, and a quiet backyard terrace. Regulars make time for the generous chirashi don and crisp tempura, pairing unagi rolls with refreshing watermelon cocktails away from the street buzz. The kitchen moves at a deliberate pace to slice fresh bluefin tuna and grill skewers over steady heat, while welcoming staff ensure family dinners run smoothly. Outside on the leafy back patio, lunch easily rolls along over warm bento boxes and cold Japanese beer.
- Backyard terrace seating: A secluded backyard courtyard offers a quiet, relaxed setting away from street traffic.
- Deliberate, made-to-order pacing: The kitchen prepares raw fish, nigiri, and hot skewers strictly made to order rather than fast-casual train service.
- Fresh sashimi and nigiri: Guests frequently highlight fresh bluefin tuna, chirashi don, and melt-in-the-mouth nigiri at accessible prices.
