Service: Our server was Kaylin. And... she was beyond excellent. Our drinks stayed full. She made recommendations that were spot on. And our food was timed precisely. Food: Heh BEYOND excellent. We ordered some Dim Sum, a couple of sushi rolls and then a couple of things to go for later. Everything was fresh, top quality, and the flavor profiles were amazing! Ambiance: Casual, comfortable, chill. We will be back :)

I'm from a coastal area where both seafood and Asian cuisine were extremely plentiful so I think my sushi standards are pretty high (read: I'm an absolute sushi snob lol). I personally don't like cooked rolls (I can get deep fried seafood anywhere around here) so it was a struggle to find a place in Mobile that did raw fish, and did it well. Shiso is the best sushi I've found, even better than the area I'm from. It's always fresh and always high quality. I love the Pink Lady roll and Playboy Bunny roll. Both are so delicate and fresh and at least taste healthy. I'm thrilled every time I get them. That's not to say you can't get fried stuff! My spouse loves the Crimson Tide roll, the fried dumplings, and oh yeah! They have Chinese Dim Sum! Such delightful fried yummies you can get a la cart and try a bunch of things. Everything was delicious and not too greasy. The ambience is clean, fairly upscale with a huge bar, and the staff is always so friendly. I must admit I am jonesing to actually sit down inside instead of just running out with my takeaway. The hibachi section looks so fun! Everything time I'm there I see a table in the back just having a great time. Anything bad? We didn't get our cream buns last time. But tbh they're always so packed I'm surprised my order has never been messed up before. That speaks to how well this place must run. It's absolutely a favorite restaurant in this city. If you like excellent sushi and Japanese food, definitely give Shiso a try.

I really like the sushi at this place. The tuna is fresh and tasty, and the rice is fragrant. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and quick. I will recommend this place to my friends.

This time I had the dim sum. The dumplings were fresh and delicious. Will highly recommend giving it a try

Came in on a Saturday afternoon for 2. Definitely caught my eye driving down Airport as I was like when did this get here? Walking up I saw advertisements outside that there also happens to be dim sum here which interesting because it's a Japanese restaurant. Upon entering they asked me if I was here for dim sum or hibachi I said no and I was sat at some tables. The interior is very impressive and easy on the eyes. I really liked the ambiance especially the hibachi area. I ended up ordered the tuna tataki for an app and we ended up ordering the Sushi Bento Lunch Box. The tuna tataki came out and looked really nice. I loved the presentation. There was a nice crust on the tuna on all the pieces, and they have some roe and scallion garnish. Everything's going great so far, but the taste of the tuna seemed very lackluster. Just seemed like not the freshest cut of tuna. The ponzu it comes in as well seemed to be not too fresh, or atleast not homemade as the citrus in the ponzu tasted kind of flat as well. Tasted like slightly sour soy sauce which I wish it was a bit brighter. Moving onto the bento box very impressed with the portion sizes. Big pile of fried rice, tuna roll, some noodles, and nigiri. The tuna had the same taste so same con there, but I liked the sweet shrimp and crab. The box also comes with a miso soup that I really enjoyed. Would recommend trying or stopping for lunch if it's nearby as I think it's a great value. For 2 bento boxes and the tuna tatake came out to about $50 and I was pretty full. Tuna being not the freshest is my only con, but the other sushi was pretty good.

Good food. Only place around w dim sum. Everything has good flavor and the service is great

First time here and we had the BEST TIME!! They were closing in an hour but still seated us for hibachi at our own table. Others were added but they were great people! We took shots together and the waiter did a great job accommodating all of us. The chef was AMAZING and our food was soooooo GOOD! It was very clean and the vibe of the atmosphere was majestic. Highly recommend and we will be back!!

I had no idea Shiso existed until I was leaving the Mobile airport and saw an advertisement for the restaurant. I decided to try it out and see what it was about. All I knew was it was a Japanese restaurant. I didn't know what to order. Fried rice is always a good choice I thought. I decided to get the shrimp fried rice. I ordered my food and it was soon ready. When I got to the restaurant the woman at the front desk was there with my food. At home I was enthusiastic to try my meal. It didn't disappoint at all. The rice was amazing. It had a smoky grill flavor. I don't what it was but it tasted much different than all the other fried rice I've tried. The shrimp was delicious as well.
