Located on the One Fullerton water front, San-Sui is an elegant Japanese restaurant bar specialising in sumiyaki, a traditional charcoal grill fired by binchotan, premium-grade smoke-free white charcoal that burns well at high temperatures. This ensures that the flavours and juices are sealed in nicely.
San-Sui, which means mountain and water respectively, truly lives up to its credo of offering only the finest fare from both the earth and ocean. The extensive array of grilled items include a stellar selection of poultry, seafood, as well as prime cuts of wagyu beef and kurobuta pork – all expertly prepared by a team of specialist sumiyaki chefs. Sumiyaki dishes are available for dinner only.
In addition, San-Sui Sumiyaki & Bar offers a wide range of 36 sake labels, 22 varieties of shochu, five kinds of umeshu, a selection of 12 bottled Japanese beers such as Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo, Ginga Kogen and Suntory Premium Malt, 42 wines along with Japanese inspired cocktails – all best enjoyed while relaxing in the al fresco area that overlooks the vibrant Marina Bay.

"All ingredients are of good quality and cooked with an expert hand: San-Sui's menu offers things such as lamb rack, French duck breast, sushi, sashimi and gyutan misozuke, a Japanese speciality of cow's tongue marinated in miso ... in other words, there's nearly everything but the kitchen sink here, but fortunately the restaurant manages not to veer into pedestrian territory." - The Business Times
"This contemporary chic venue offers fine Japanese cuisine as well as an impressive list of drinks – perfect for convivial after-work gatherings or a languorous weekend meal. " - Asia Tatler Dining
"Boasting both a well-stocked bar, as well as a restaurant area with live stations serving delectable yakitori and other Japanese staples—there is certainly a lot to savor here." - I-S Magazine
"... you not only get premium tuna belly, scallop sashimi and Japanese wagyu as part of your meal, but also a breathtaking view of the fireworks display at Marina Bay." - AUGUSTMAN
We started off with light bites of tatami iwashi, crunchy deep fried baby sardines and strips of Japanese long yam sprinkled liberally with chicken powder, which tantalised our palates for the dishes to come.
The palate teaser of ebi to karasumi ae ( sashimi prawn with mullet roe and black truffle oil) was a showstopper of an appetiser. Served chilled, five plump prawns are mixed with truffle oil, served with dried mullet roe and topped with a mix of mizuna greens and cherry tomatoes.
From the sumiyaki menu, the tokusei tsukune (minced chicken and cartilage served with raw quail’s egg) was nicely juicy with a surprise crunch in the middle and we also really liked the yakitori peta (grilled chicken skin) which was nicely grilled to a crisp. The hotate had the perfect balance of being juicy yet at the same time, wafting a discreet smokey flavour.
The ebi mango roll was a lovely blend of textures and flavours and the piece de resistance, the buta niku maki onigiri (grilled Kurobuta pork rice ball) – two tasty parcels of rice wrapped with succulent slices of kurobuta pork belly created a fulfilling bite to our meal. (Dec 2011)
