From the service to the food, our experience at Shiso was impeccable. We walked in for happy hour on a Sunday. The vibe of the space feels like they brought in the murals of wynwood to their interior design. The music selection was rap hit after rap hit, loved. We sat at the bar. Our server was Marcus. He was so helpful and attentive. Gave us his menu recommendations, which we followed suit. We ordered the duck dumplings and the sweet potato croquettes from the HH menu. From the regular menu, we ordered the bbq toro and the oxtail udon. The duck dumplings had a rich au jus, great. Our favorite app was the sweet potato croquette. Slightly sweet, a satisfying crunch, but soft in the center with tender brisket. The white bbq sauce and parm gave it a nice smoky nuttiness. Ordered another round, they were so good! The bbq toro had an amazing smokey flavor and a nice citrusy butter as the sauce. The cut was perfect. The oxtail udon was really hearty, and by far the best dish we had (though all the dishes were seriously incredible). It comes with a cured egg yolk, which they mix for you tableside. There was a good amount of oxtail in the dish and the udon sauce - bottle it for me please and thank youuu. read more

I've always loved this place, but lately it feels like they're trying so hard to be trendy that it's starting to take away from what they actually do well -- the food. Sometimes less is more. I booked brunch for the Sunday after Valentine's Day. The reservation was confirmed, but then I found out they don't even open until 5 PM that day. How does a brunch reservation get confirmed for a time when the restaurant isn't open? I decided to give it another try this weekend and went at 5 PM to sit at the bar. The hostess told me there was a "Hungry Post" event happening. I asked about the price and she said it was $100 per person. Okay, fine -- but when I asked what the event included or what it was about, she seemed unsure and said it was "just a party" and that you just go in. No explanation of what was included, no specials, nothing. Charging $100 per person just to attend a "party" with no clear details feels odd and poorly communicated. I genuinely want this place to succeed because the food and drinks are great -- I just wish they would focus on that and improve communication and organization instead of trying so hard to be trendy. read more

We were in the area and stumbled upon Shiso. I enjoyed the rooftop setup they have. Happy hour was also great with solid IPAs and bites. The chicken and waffles were really yummy with the bbq sauce and syrup. The ox tail udon dish was really tasteful, I just wish the noddles were a bit chewy, instead of soft, but that's my preference. I recommend giving it a try, will definitely come back! read more

Uni rice bowl? You mean the key to my heart? :) Missing NYC vibes and good food, my cousins and I decided to visit Shiso, an Asian smokehouse located in Wynwood Miami. I'd say a Successful night with my girls. We ordered with our eyes and I'm glad we did! We inhaled every dish and washed them down with espresso martinis while catching up on our daily lives. Thank you to our server. Beautiful people all around, will visit again! read more

I stopped by Shiso with a couple of friends after enjoying the nearby Elite Event in order to keep the night going a little longer. Located on the second floor of a building in the heart of Wynwood, right on NW 2nd Ave., this restaurant played loungey downtempo R&B, and great drinks perfect for a nightcap. The vibe was dim light and service attentive. I sipped on their rum cocktail that had two types of rum and was blended well enough just perfect for a light buzz and to keep the party going. The mixer tasted almost like classic lemonade. I didn't eat any of the food as I had eaten elsewhere, and why I am only making this a four star review. I want to come back and get the full experience. However, I did share their tasty and creative presentation of a baked Alaska based on one of my friends recommendations. Shiso's baked Alaska is served on a bed of cornbread, giving it a crispier, almost earthier base that contrasts wonderfully with the sweeter topping. I know this is something I'll try when I come back for a full meal. read more

Went for the inaugural music event at On & On, so this is not a review of Shiso. Lovely rooftop, super elegant vibe. Open air but covered. It was a R&B/hip hop with jazz vibes live band. Bar was awful, good luck getting a drink. Servers seemed overwhelmed . I gave up trying to order and just enjoyed the set. Will definitely return to try the restaurant read more

I wish I could rate this restaurant 6 stars. It's so rare to find a spot that does not miss and I came with a group, ordered half the menu and literally everything was delicious!! FOOD: - Hamachi 10/5: my fav thing I could have eaten a whole bowl of this by myself. It looks kinda suspicious bc of the chopped bits on top but genuinely phenomenal - salmon belly roll 5/5: fish was so fresh, there was something crispy in the roll that was so pleasant added unique texture - crispy rice (both of them) 5/5: self explanatory - oxtail udon noodles 4.5/5: i loveeee an udon noodle so chewy, there was a ton of meat in this, it was slightly sweet but also savory, so rich in flavor. A touch too salty for me! - cornbread 6/5: DELICIOUS!! Warm and served with butter - eggplant main course 3/5: not bad but not my fav, the roasted eggplant sauce was pretty good but there wasn't too much of it so the dish felt a bit dry. Very crispy exterior. DRINKS: get the Brazilian mule!!!!!! SO GOOD!!! Fresh and citrusy and the foam on top was delicious. PORTIONING: for four hungry girls, we ordered 1 sushi roll, 2 crispy rice, 2 small plates, 2 mains, and cornbread and it was the perfect amount of food. Service was amazing, they took us through the whole menu and gave excellent recs!! Same with the cocktail menu! read more

5 stars no less! Located in the heart of wynwood this rooftop has all the vibes. Very trendy, upscale but not too upscale that you can't show up in jeans and sneakers which we did. We order these three dishes at the recommendation of the waiter and every dish was better than the other: A5 capraccio, hamachi, conch rolls. More on the expensive side but still reasonable for miami and even though plates aren't big I left feeling full even though I came on an empty stomach. Ended up paying about $98 for all the dishes. I will come again, the flavors are so complex and on spot. If you like japanese fusion this is for you. If you like more milder japanese flavors this is a bit different. But we loveeddddddd it read more

Shiso had been on my Hit List for a while and I had the opportunity to go here after an evening at the Arsht Center and Ailey II. Glad we made it. Glad I got here during Miami winter as I didn't realize we were in a completely open area. I may have been miserable trying to eat here during our 95° summers. Food 10/10 We had a great server and went with all his recommendations. All great choices. I missed capturing a few of our dishes. Stand-outs for me included the duck potstickers, the octopus and the Cornish Hen two ways. The cornbread was recommended to us in a couple dishes, but I passed. By the time we had dessert, I gave in and tried the cornbread dessert. Best choice of the night! I'd go back just for this dessert. Service 100/10 Our waiter was professional and knowledgeable. He left before we finished, but he made sure we understood what was happening and who would take care of us after he left. Again, his recommendations were amazing, no regrets! Ambiance 8/10 For me, this place is fabulous . . . during our winter. The DJ played even though we were the last people there. This night it seemed like the music was all dance/trance. I wonder how they do on the two nights a year we hit 50° and from April through November. If you're a foodie and you've somehow not gone here yet, it's definitely worth a trip. The sushi + grill concept exceeds expectations. I'll return just to try every cornbread dish on the menu. read more

What went well? The food, the service AND, the Ambiance! I loved everything about my evening with my "little" cousin (she's 33) and her cousin, celebrating 35. We had a lovely time; SHISO made sure of it! To my delight, this is truly a spot to go with people who love to share! This was my 2nd time visiting Shiso. My first trip was for Happy Hour and I was definitely not disappointed. I drink gin martinis which is not on the happy hour. My bites were absolutely delish! Duck dumpling, Smoked Brisket Croquette (damn); and i loved the Sausage Stiffed Shishito Peppers! These were about $10 each and, if I recall correctly, 2 pieces each. This time I made a reservation for a table of 3 to have a proper table: too hard to chat at bar; plus, I booked with RESY so t could pay with my AMEX card and spend my $100 credit! (Remember, this $100 credit is four (4) times a year! We ordered the Hamachi and same appetizer that I had before since I raved so; but definitely a different price point (Hamachi $23, Duck $24, Sausage $17, Croquette $16) as the servings were generous for sharing. Our large plate was the Chilean Seabass in Coconut Curry, Miso butter & herbs ($46).?The staff brought a lovely birthday treat. Overall, i considered it Pricey but worth the money for a special occasion; I am still out to lunch on the price of that cornbread... I would do Happy Hour in a heartbeat! Highly recommend Ambiance is fab! Wait staff attentive and it is always nice to be remembered and welcomed back from my very first visit! She's a great bartender; sane and stopped to recognize me. Makes uou feel good! read more

Came here for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised with the selection of drinks and bites. We sat at the bar and I loved the upscale feel and the fact that it was outside. I asked the bartender for recommendations and both things I still think about to this day. Also the servers were very professional yet friendly. The pork shishito pepper skewers sounded weird at first but they had so much flavor and were standout. My favorite item were the short rib croquettes. The little sauces they were on took them to the next level. So light yet crispy! Would go back just for these. I would love to go back and try more things another time. Cool spot. read more

It took us a little bit to find this rooftop - the entrance is behind a building, up an elevator - but once we did the vibes are top notch. Ordered miami spice menu - the food was tasty.

This place was amazing! The atmosphere and layout of the outside seating is definitely catered towards larger parties and group settings, but they have seating for couples and smaller parties with great views as well. We had the duck dumplings and croquettes which were exceptional, but the main dishes we would get again and again were the oxtail udon noodles and the pork belly. On top of that, the cornbread baked Alaska was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time! If you're looking for great ambience, atmosphere, terrific service, and some truly incredible dishes, then you need to come to Shiso. read more

Shiso is honestly one of my favorite cocktail bars. The drinks are always so well done and so unique. My absolute faves are the Saisei and Quattro Bianca, they're soooo good and you really can't find anything like them anywhere else. The food is just as amazing, I always order the salmon belly handroll, but honestly everything on the menu hits. They also have a great happy hour. The bar itself is gorgeous with the glowing marble and such a fun vibe inside. The bartenders are always so friendly and make you feel really taken care of, which just adds to the whole experience. Whenever I bring friends from out of town, they love it so much they always want to come back. read more

Wow. I was blown away by this restaurant. Every single aspect took my breath away. The location is stunning. My friend brought her professional camera & we could hardly decide which part of the restaurant we wanted to be the focal point of our photos. The food is phenomenal. Please just try as many items as you can. Every item on the menu is unique & there's no point in trying to figure out if you'll like it or not because you've never tried any dish like it before. My group tried the ribs, sea bass, cornbread, oxtail udon, & the salad. Out of 3 picky eaters, we all couldn't decide what we liked best. The service is unlike any other Miami restaurant I've been to. The staff is knowledgeable, kind, and go out of their way. One team member even picked my umbrella up off of the floor, wrapped it, & put it away for me. The drinks are equally unique, sweet, and delicious. I can't wait to come back. Thank you! read more

I was very impressed by Shiso! The restaurant is a gorgeous outdoor rooftop in Wynwood with a beautiful bar and greenery. They also had a DJ which made it lively but not too loud to have a conversation. Our server Gabby was fantastic, very friendly and attentive and had great drink suggestions when we wanted to order cocktails off the menu. We came for the Miami Spice menu which was delicious, but fairly small portions, so I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their sushi. Overall, a great upscale addition to Wynwood! read more

Went for happy hour as it's only available if you sit at the bar which was pretty full. This Asian smokehouse restaurant in Wynwood fits the vibe, eclectic & artsy, very big space. We ordered 2 calendulitas, tequila based cocktails which were pretty good. We ordered the salmon belly handrolls, smoked chicken lollipops, crispy conch appetizers and Shiso salad from their HH menu. Our favorite was the salmon belly handrolls as it had a nice crunch to it. We also ordered seabass crudo from the regular menu yet that was our least favorite but the plating was pretty. The bartender that tended to us was nice but another bartender was not as nice when we asked for a Japanese spice as if he had no idea what we were talking about? We were hoping to try more smoked options considering it's a smokehouse if they had smoked fish or seafood options but as we do not eat beef or pork, smoked chicken lollipops was what the bartender recommended. I forgot to take pictures of those. They were pretty good. They also have a great outdoor bar with live entertainment that starts after 8 I think but we left before it started. read more

But what truly made the night special was our server, Juan. He was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave excellent recommendations. He made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend Shiso, and if you can, ask for Juan he's fantastic!! read more

What better place to celebrate a huge milestone for a friend passing her boards and officially becoming a doctor. than at Shiso! This spot is truly something special, an innovative Asian smokehouse that masterfully blends wood-fired BBQ techniques with Japanese precision and Caribbean soul. We came as a group of 10 girls and were seated comfortably at a large round table on the outdoor patio. The vibe was perfect for our celebration...laid back but elevated, with great music and even better energy. Our server was incredibly attentive and took his time walking us through the whole menu, making thoughtful recommendations and answering all our questions. The drinks were fantastic and the food was even better. We shared a bunch of plates, and not a single dish disappointed. Highlights included the cornbread the smoked brisket croquetas , the duck dumplings which was a table favorite and the A5 Wagyu nigiri that was literally melt in your mouth amazing. read more

From the chef behind Zuma and KYU, two of my favorite Miami restaurants, comes Shiso. Located in Wynwood where there are fusion restaurants aplenty, Shiso manages to carve its own niche as a unique fusion of Japanese and Caribbean cuisines. There is truly something for everyone at this restaurant--from the sushi lovers to the BBQ fans. I genuinely loved everything I tried; standouts include the salmon belly roll, crispy rice, hamachi crudo, cornbread, and oxtail udon. The cocktails also cannot be missed. The team provided excellent recommendations and helped us navigate the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Ambiance- located on the 2nd floor, modern with an industrial touch, with plenty of natural lighting and views of Wynwood. Spacious and great for large parties. Comfy seats. Service- polite and fast. Cleaned the table several times after each course. Food- we did the Miami spice tasting menu and really enjoyed it. The food came in small portions but enough courses to satisfy your hunger. Of all the items, we really enjoyed the stracciatella, short rib udon, bass and sweet potato cheesecake!! The food was over all rich and flavorful but on the oily side. Drink- must try the La dama desnuda. Mezcal martini that was great! read more

Vibes: upscale but chill; bring a friend or a few to sit at the bar or a table Tasting notes: - Amor's corn bread service: almost pound-cake texture; accompanying butter is very light and whipped - Shiitake: tender whole caps with lightly wasabi flavored puree - Duck dumplings: very umami, a symphony of textures - Oxtail udon: mixed tableside while piping hot with egg yolk drizzle; mostly salty with a touch of sweet; noodles are al dente - Pork belly temaki: thick, smoky and slightly fatty pieces of meat; excellent pairing with spicy habanero and bbq sauces; would have loved more sheets of shiso and nori - Shiso chicken: extremely flavorful and crispy yet tender; waffle is lightly oniony; loved the accompanying syrup and pickles - Vetus Negroni: on the sweeter side, very sippable Other thoughts: - Friendly staff - Can be tough to hear given loud music - Pace of dishes was on the slower side, with cornbread and shiitake for us coming out first - Pork belly temaki and Shiso chicken are larger plates and very shareable - Above array of dishes was more than satisfying for 3 hungry adults Impression: would come back to have the pork belly temaki, a very unique and tasty dish! read more

Really amazing spot for food and vibes. I loved the drinks, service, and every food I tried. I ordered the corn bread which was so light and delicious. Also got the mushrooms and BBQ toro and WOW. I've never had such a good BBQ dish. The location is perfect for date night or a group dinner. The hostess was able to accommodate us last minute for a party of 5 close to closing.

We came here last minute on a Friday night with a big group. It was a late dinner, but the restaurant was still lively. The ambiance is super vibey, think 2000s hip hop playing in the background which set the mood. Shoutout to Juan, our waiter. He was super attentive and took great care of our group. My favorite dish was the udon noodles! It was tasty and a hefty plate. I wasn't a big fan of the croquettes, and the rolls are a bit pricey. Two pieces of nigiri run anywhere from $20-$32. The BBQ smoked brisket was decent, and the truffle butter motobu was delicious, but for $32, I expected more than just two bites. The donut with custard filling would've been better warm, but overall, it was a good experience. Would come back for the vibes and a few standout dishes. read more

Stumbled upon this cool rooftop restaurant, Shiso, on what was shaping up to be a boring night at home--and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, I loved the modern, organic decor and relaxed rooftop vibe. I was immediately greeted by the hostess, Ashley, who was incredibly sweet and helpful, offering great menu suggestions that didn't disappoint. I tried a couple of dishes, and both were a total flavor explosion while still being comforting--exactly what I was craving. Everything from the service to the music, ambiance, decor, and food was on point. I already can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu.

So i went back for their burger night on Mondays. I'm ready to crown this my favorite burger in Miami. I'm going shiso first, vice versa, Ted's, and then la bira bar. I honestly can't tell you all the different flavors, but they work. Theres def some pulled pork which give it a Smokey flavor, some Mac and cheese which makes it creamy, pickles which make it slightly sweet along with a slight bbq flavor. The burger is medium and cooked to perfection. 10/10 recommend. I paired it with the teeling revolver and the wait staff was attentive. This place does not disappoint. read more

Second time here and just as good! The service is amazing and they are so accommodating to my shellfish allergy. We have sat inside and outside and the ambiance of both are amazing. August in miami is hot so we sat inside this time and we're not disappointed. The food is incredible. The best thing in my opinion is the oxtail udon noodles and the croquettes both are delicious and can't miss. The short rib is so so good we've ordered it twice. The shisito peppers surprised me with all the flavor and they were very good. We were really disappointed in the corn bread it wasn't very sweet and was pretty dry. The hamachi hand roll is better than the salmon hand roll. The sticky ribs are good and so are the dumplings. Highly recommend this spot for food and a good vibe! read more

Went to Shiso for a friend's birthday and wasn't expecting for how beautiful and big the restaurant is. It's a rooftop restaurant (2nd floor) and it feels very open even though it is covered. We were a party of 10 but everything went pretty smoothly. The food was absolutely amazing. It's a wonderful mix of Japanese bbq/smoke house. We had these croquettes with smoked meet filled inside. We had the burrata like cheese that was fantastic and we had a few tapas and honestly we had no complaints on anything. The only thing that was off was how loud the music was in the restaurant. We couldn't hear each other and we had a hard time hearing and communicating with the waiter which caused a couple mishaps. If it wasn't for the extremely loud music this place would have been a 5. read more

We enjoyed our experience mostly due to the amazing service and two of the dishes we had: the sea bass and the chicken lollipops. The sea bass has coconut curry sauce and was fantastic. The chicken lollipops were some of the best chicken I've ever had. They were smoky (3 hours in the smoker), slightly spicy, great portion size, and very tender. We had two orders. The sticky ribs were very underwhelming. They weren't tender enough, the sauce was okay at best, and they lacked an oomph you'd expect for ribs that are priced at $35. I sent two drinks back because they were also below expectations. The cornbread was good, but didn't bloow me away. I think Shiso has a number of things to work on. The service was excellent and saved the night. read more

Good luck trying to find the entrance! If it wasn't for someone in the courtyard to guide us we wouldn't have found it. First impression, Love the decor it gives off a fun vibe. We sat at a big lush table in the corner. Perfect for our large party. Looking at the menu I wasn't sure what to think. The cocktail menu organized by country then a list of drinks. We ordered multiple plates to share for the table. The outstanding winners were the mushrooms (were tender and tasted like steak!), pork belly, broccolini and uni rice. Overall it was fun atmosphere, amazing food, and exceptional service. read more
