Shiso Crispy - Tampa

I went to the Dunedin location yesterday with my boyfriend. Not sure if all the food is the same as the St Pete one but I couldn't find the other one on Yelp. Anyway, everything was really excellent. We got the vegan chicken rice bowl. They were out of the vegan crab cakes which was a bummer, but not a big deal. We also got the onion rings, two orders of "vegan ragoons" and an order of spring rolls. Everything had really phenomenal flavor, but I felt like the spring rolls were a bit of a miss. My only other small complaint is that the food didn't stay hot long. I'm sure that can be tough to do but the onion rings were kinda soggy pretty quickly. The flavor was there on everything, nonetheless. We will definitely be back to try the jackfruit bao buns and hopefully the fake crab cakes sometime soon! read more

Unfortunately they were out of gyoza which seems to be a common thing according to the other reviews . Considering I went there on a Saturday around lunch it seems odd that they'd already be out. The lobster rangoons were . I should have just ordered two of those. I also had the barbecue beef but couldn't finish it because it was cloyingly sweet and the dirty rice that accompanied it was also really sweet which I was not expecting. The combination was not good. Service was good and fast . read more

Went after a movie at the Tampa Theatre. I was looking forward to this because the reviews are pretty good. I ordered the bang bang chicken and the lobster rangoons. I was told the food would take 10-15. No biggie so I go back to my car and return 15 minutes later. Grab my food and head down the road back to my hotel. I decided I wanted to eat my Rangoon on the way... why were they lukewarm?? That was the first disappointing thing. Out of curiosity I want to see if the chicken was lukewarm also and there are no forks or napkins in the bag ‍. So I had to eat lukewarm chicken and rice with my fingers! If you are going to serve food that has been sitting don't make me wait and I won't expect it to be piping hot! I was visiting from Michigan so I won't return and if I were you i would think twice about visiting this food truck. read more

my partner and I have been wanting to come here ever since we saw Ronicca on guys grocery games! we finally went to shiso crispy this past saturday night and i 100% understand the hype now. The food truck is easily recognizable and brightly painted with its bold teals and reds. there are picnic tables paired with colorful umbrellas and i saw a decent bit of people enjoying the outside seating. Despite having a line out behind us and NUMEROUS online orders we waited less than 15 minutes for our food! Ronicca mentioned to us that they try to do food "that has the consistency of mcdonald's without the shitty taste" and she lives up that and then some. We got the bang bang chicken (she says they use boneless chicken wing meat, the pieces were HUGE) paired with the dirty rice and it was so sweet, so savory and all over the best bang bang sauce i've had. We're already planning our next trip back down to pinellas to try everything else on the menu (: read more

We got some takeout one night after a show and got the gyoza, rangoons and crispy chicken bowl! We loved them all, personally I loved the gyoza and Rangoons the most but my fiancé loved the chicken as well! Just a bit too much spicy mayo for me personally but the chicken itself is delicious! Wish we would've gotten another order of gyoza it was our favorite we've had in a while! Wish we would've taken pics but very close to what they show on website! It was hot and fresh by the time we took it back. There is a parking lot right next to the truck so easy parking too! read more

Made our way downtown from the airport for some grub when our flight got in late. We had about a 30 minute drive but the bang bang chicken and sticky rice held up great! No smiles or friendliness with the service at this location, but the truck looked awesome. Food was delicious and filling, chicken was crispy all through the meal and loaded with flavor! We also tried the spring rolls and lobster rangoons, which we ate in the car so it was still crispy. They were both standard and not really high in flavor. read more

I was excited to try this place; who doesn't like bang bang and gyozas? Unfortunately, the bang bang chicken was way overcooked and hard; the rice oh-so-boring, the sauce too much and not at all "bang". Other minor but annoying things: no salt and pepper available, nor utensils except for some very cheap flimsy chopsticks; and no cups or ice available for drinks. I'm not coming back for the gyoza. read more

The bang bang chicken is some of the best chicken I've ever had! We got the pork gyoza, bang bang chicken rice, and the beef bao buns. The gyoza and bang bang chicken were delicious. I wasn't the biggest fan of the beef bao buns as it was more like a bbq beef and I was expecting something closer to bulgogi but the bun was good to perfection and my boyfriend loved the beef. I would never think this level of food could be from a food truck! It's a little pricey but the portions are huge and it doesn't disappoint. read more
