Shiso

Really cute spot in wynwood with a good vibe and excellent attentive service which is hard to find in Miami. We got an assortment of appetizers and entrées, and they were all delicious. My favorite was the duck dumpling appetizer and the pork belly entrée. The octopus was also very good. I had one of my favorite desserts I’ve ever had, the baked Alaskan with a cornbread cake. All of the cocktails were unique and made well. Would definitely go back!

Shiso was great! The food was delicious and our server was wonderful. The sushi we had fell a little short of expectations, especially for the price, but all the other dishes were outstanding (ribs, fried conch, oxtail udon, fried chicken) and the dessert was 10/10. I first heard about Shiso after it was mentioned on the All In podcast and I must say, their recommendation was spot on! Definitely would recommend.

Overall a really nice experience I would definitely come back but one star off for a few of the menu items being… disappointing. What we ordered: Sliced Hamachi 8/10 (pictured) loved the freshness of the fish and the little salad on top added a delicious texture to the dish Seabass Crudo 6/10 (pictured) too.. wet? Fresh fish too and great flavours but hard to eat and I felt like it needed something like green onions or some sort of micro greens Blue fin tuna maki 7/10 it was fine nothing special Salmon belly maki 9/10 great flavour favourite sushi dish King crab gunkan 2/10 this was what I was most excited for it just was sooo bad. The crab was way too mayod and it tasted like cold crab salad. Has huge potential to be delicious I would swap out the sauce Smoked Brisket Croquette 8/10 (pictured) well balanced and fried perfectly. Oxtail Udon Noodles 7/10 udon noodles perfect and oxtail cooked very well but it was too salty and I think it was just a one off cause if it wasn’t so salty it would’ve been my favourite dish of the night Smoked short rib 3/10 (pictured) it didn’t taste smoked at all. It was blackened but lacked flavour. When you say something’s smoked the flavour has to back it up and it just DIDNT. I wish it had tho the presentation was cool Corn bread 8/10 delicious but wish they were a tiny bit bigger!! Corn bread merengue 8/10 I like the sauce and honestly who doesn’t love a good corn bread Chocolate rum cake 9/10 super soft and delicious and had a nice kick of rum in it. Ambiance 10/10 - the music the vibes were just it. I’m definitely going back to try different items. But most of our recos were made by the server (minus the sushi)

Seriously: One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time Shiso completely blew me away. Every single thing we ordered was incredible.. like, melt-in-your-mouth good. There wasn’t one dish that didn’t hit. The sushi, the ox tail udon noodles, the sea bass (best I’ve ever had), the small plates, even the burger… everything was just on another level. I’m from out of town and honestly already trying to figure out when I can come back because this place is that good. The flavors were so balanced, the textures were perfect, and you can tell how much care goes into each dish. It’s rare to find a restaurant where every plate is a standout, but Shiso absolutely crushed it. And on top of that, every cocktail james creates is incredible!! Great food, great vibe, great service. Truly one of those meals you think about afterward. Can’t recommend it enough.

Shiso has an easygoing Wynwood vibe with plenty of space, plus both indoor and outdoor bar seating. The room feels relaxed rather than scene-y, and the staff is genuinely warm and approachable—always appreciated in Miami. The martini was excellent, and Odessa behind the bar was attentive throughout the meal. The plates are beautifully presented, but the flavor profiles leaned a bit too aggressive for my taste. The bluefin tuna with smoked pepper relish is conceptually great, yet the relish overwhelms the fish—the acidity and heat dominate so much that the tuna itself disappears. It would shine more if the relish were treated as an accent rather than a blanket. The broccolini with fermented black bean vinaigrette and furikake is another strong idea, but again the sauce is so punchy that the vegetable gets lost. It works better as a bold contrast to rice than as a supporting side to the mains. The BBQ pork belly gunkan had the best balance of the three dishes I tried, with good texture and seasoning, though it still didn’t quite deliver the rich, decadent bite I was hoping for. Overall, a pleasant experience with great service and drinks, but the kitchen could use a lighter hand so the quality of the ingredients can really come through. Solid 7/10.

Came here for dinner and was impressed! The ambiance is lovely and the food was very good. The oxtail udon noodles were phenomenal, and the nigiri was delicious. The duck dumplings, however, weren’t my favorite - they lacked a bit of flavor, so I wouldn’t order those again. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back!

I’ve been seeing this spot all over the Instagram foodie pages and let me say… the flavor in those dishes were absolutely insane. I’ve never experienced a Japanese/Caribbean cuisine combo and it was such an explosion of flavors. The miso cornbread with the honey butter? Absolutely insane. The sauce on the duck dumplings is something I would eat alone. The crispy sweet potato croquette ball stuffed with brisket and parmesan grated over was *perfection.* The oxtail udon was soooo worth the hype.
