Authentic Japanese cuisine. Sushi and hibachi grill.
Shiso never disappoints. I’ve been around 10 times and the food is always delicious. I personally love the scallops and the shrimp tempura. The vegetables that come with any dish are fantastic, including the vegetables tempura. The soup that comes with the meals is delicious. Dining area is beautiful and very clean. Service is always good, although once in a while we have had our server disappear for long stretches. Once we had a rowdy bar customer sort of take over the ambience, but that situation was an outlier. You will definitely love the hot towel after your meal if available, it is a unique experience! Never a wait, food is always fresh, overall a good experience and I would definitely recommend Shiso.

I came for a birthday dinner on a busy night, I have food allergies and sometimes dining out can be quite difficult. The service here is great they were very accommodating. They were able to make my hibachi gluten free in the back and bring it out to me it was plated very nice. My waiter did great it was very busy and at no point did the staff make me feel like I was being a bother for asking many questions I would definitely return

Hubby took me here for our first date night of the year . It was our first visit . After being seated at a table , we noticed the nice view of the dim lite booths . We made a request to be moved , the hostess was so sweet , she not only move us to the booth , she also took our picture for us . It was such a vibe. We were quickly greeted by our server Savanah . She was very knowledgeable about the menu choices . She also recommended some tasty choices for us to try. The Sushi 🍣 was delicious. The restaurant was packed but she was very attentive towards us. Savanah provided great customer service. She made our evening very pleasant! Our only complaint was my lemon drop and my husband’s Old Fashion cocktail . They were not good at all. That’s the only reason I couldn’t give five stars . We could give them another try and hope for a better bartender next time . Great Job Savanah !⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a huge fan of Japanese food and restaurants, I was looking forward to trying Shiso for the first time and I definitely wasn't disappointed.
The restaurant is fairly large and separated into regular tables/booths, a bar, and a hibachi section (where food is cooked in front of you). We sat at a normal table due to having our baby with us, but we were able to watch some of the hibachi stations and they looked very entertaining.
Despite it being a busy night, the atmosphere was relaxed and it felt quieter than it was. The servers were quick to take our order and were very friendly.
Our complete order is listed below:
- Hibachi dinner w/ shrimp, vegetables (broccoli, carrot, onion, zucchini, mushroom), and noodles
- Hibachi dinner w/ steak and rice
- Gyoza appetizer (6 wonton dumplings w/ soy sauce)
- Raw bluefin tina Shiso sushi (nigiri) topped w/ fish roe. Served with pickled ginger and wasabi on the side
- 2 house salads (lettuce and shredded carrot w/ ginger dressing)
- Onion soup (onion broth w/ mushrooms and scallions)
- Miso soup (miso broth w/ tofu chunks and seaweed)
Everything was delicious, but I was especially impressed by the rich flavors of the bluefin nigiri sushi. The roe topping with ginger and wasabi on the side were great compliments for the bluefin. For the hibachi dinners, I felt like the noodles had just a tad too much soy sauce and the rice was a bit tamer, but overall it was all great.
Prices for dinner were noticeably more expensive than for lunch (as much as $10 more per hibachi plate), so next time I plan to check out the lunch experience. Highly recommend giving Shiso a try! We'll definitely be adding it to our lunch rotation!

Last night was unfortunate for the restaurant. They hosted a gender reveal dinner for some guests, but it was unpleasant. After a long wait, our cook, an older Asian gentleman, appeared disorganized and seemed either too old or too tired to manage the kitchen effectively. He left the grill dirty, and another cook had to clean it. The food was subpar as well. We noticed the owners watching him throughout the evening. This was not typical of the quality we experienced during our previous visits. I hope that the cook has retired by now.

Posted on yelp and here because this is crazy. This Restaurant is a joke! The teenage employee(s) in the front sat on her phone on FaceTime and texting. Would not even help me when I tried asking a question. It was a dark short haired girl. The servers are excellent but they seem extremely exhausted and overworked. It seemed like they were doing the girls job who was supposed to be I guess seating people but she wasn't even doing that. The food was good came out super quickly but l do wish it was bigger portions. The only complaint I have is that every time in the past week and a half. I have been here twice and each time the host, cashier or to-go person is not helpful, very rude, or just loudly on the phone ignoring customers. I believe one girls name is Mckenzie I didn't read the name tag very clearly.

The food was really good…I think it’s the best hibachi I have ever had flavor wise. The drinks were good. The only thing I did not like were how unkept the restrooms looked. Restrooms are a big thing for me and the toilet seats were really loose. The bathroom was not super clean and the restaurant was not slammed so it was surprising. I would go back regardless but hope that they regularly check the bathrooms during the slower hours and fix the weird loose seats in the women’s restaurant.

Hubby and I went to Shiso for the first time yesterday, been wanting to go since it opened. First off, welcoming atmosphere, very nice and clean. Seated quickly at the hibachi table, our server, Jazmyn, was very nice and took good care of us. The hibachi chef was good and entertaining. Because I have a shellfish allergy, I told her, she said my food would be cooked in the back and that was totally fine. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was I didn’t get my food until it was time to go. I guess there was some miscommunication but I was enjoying the rice so much that it really wasn’t a big deal. When I got my food, the little bit I tasted was delicious and me and hubby have more than enough for Sunday dinner. Our bill was discounted, which we appreciated. All in all, we will be returning.

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.

I highly discourage online ordering, even though the sushi is good I’ll go somewhere that doesn’t waste my time in the future. (PS you send texts for the order why not send an update for the time?)
*I wanted to edit this to add they did contact me later to apologize and attempt to rectify the situation. I’m not sure I would order online for pick up in the future but overall they seem to care about their customer satisfaction.

Food was great, we weren’t a fan of the noodles. BUT I wanted to brag about our chef. I wish I got his name, he said he was from Indonesia, he was the best hibachi chef I’ve ever encountered. We sat with a family that had kids, and he did everything in his power to have the kids be engaged and excited. He was very kind and as a business owner myself, I felt the need to let Sisho know how great of an employee they have.

Today at 2:45 on 3/23/24 my family of 4 adults and 1 child went to be seated at the hibachi table and after sitting there for 5 minutes with no one acknowledging us a server came and asked us to get up and move to a table with only 3 seats and the other two people move to an empty table behind the other table so we could use the same cook so two of our party would not be able to see the chef cooking and we would be separated. We came as a party and wanted to be seated together as a party. The excuse of being told we need to move was because one of the chefs was on break and it would be a long time before he came back on shift. We have ate here many times and never been treated like this. The family of 5 that was already at the table that they were wanting us to move to was sitting in the middle and they were not asked to move down so us 5 could sit together with them. Also, when we first arrived we asked for a specific chef and told he was on break. She said we have other cooks, She was very rude and had an attitude. I feel disrespected and upset we were treated this way. They lost our business. We got up and went to sho gun where we were able to be seated together and treated with respect.

We’ve dined in and got take out a few times . We’ve lived in Japan and Hawaii for half of our lives and just go for the food. We’re not into the teppanyaki (hibachi) tables, so I can’t comment on that experience. We’ve sat at the regular booths. Everything we’ve ordered has tasted good, and the service has been great. For take out, the online ordering is very convenient.

I was just at this restaurant and I must say the food and show was not good at all. The little show that comes with the food was less than pitiful at best and to top it all off my husband was finishing up his wine and before he could get the last drop in a lady comes and asks us to leave because they were busy and needed the table(that was so so rude and unprofessional of her) now you have a table but customers who will NEVER COME BACK!’ So if you like rude management and tasteless food with a pitiful show by all means go there otherwise pass on by and go a little further down the road. Thank me later because I just saved you a trip

Will never be back. They had horrible customer service as soon as I walked in the door at the host stand. My husband is a DV with spinal damage and needs a booth to sit in for comfort reason. They absolutely REFUSED to let him sit in a booth with 3 available from what we could see. Then insulted him by saying he could bring his own cushion to sit on on the hard chairs. It also was not busy when we arrived at 530. Do not recommended

Edited and updated for 2024
This place has gone downhill less than 2 years. The staff is constantly changing, and there are a few that appear to be indentured or they would leave too. I only mention this as a reference to the very inconsistent service they now provide. That's why we wanted to give the place the benefit of the doubt in terms of updating this previous 5 star review.
The food is not the quality, taste, or texture that it once was. DO NOT EAT THE SPICY TUNA ROLL. I almost puked the last time I ordered it. They can say they use special spices but that spice tasted like spoiled tuna and dish water. The sushi when they first opened was cut fresh and tasted the same.. Fresh! That's what sushi must be. The udon originally was boiling hot with very thinly-cut, high-quality beef strips thrown in at the last minute for a superb tasting authentic dish. During the last visit, the dish tasted like beef stew. The beef was cheap and tough cut like stew chuncks and tasted like fat and grisly chuck roast rather than prime rib.
It's not the cost as much as it is about value. This place was always a little pricy, but the quality was the value proposition. Today, there is no value due to the lack of quality and inconsistency in their service.
We haven't returned since the last visit. It's off the rotation.

Fresh and delicious food, great service, but unfortunately a very racist and rude greeting lady ruined our lunch. In the past, me and my wife always could get a booth even though it was 2 of us. We usually go there on Thursdays around 11:30 AM. The time that barely they have 2 or 3 occupied tables. But today was a different experience. The greeting lady didn’t let us to get a booth, and you could see anger and hate in her face. If the booths are for 4 or more, it should be for everyone and all races. The question I have is that why 3 black ladies could get a booth and we couldn’t? Probably it was all over the news if I was black and the greeting lady was white and tomorrow it was a BLM protest in front of the restaurant. The reverse racism and hatred is still racism and I can’t forget what happened today. I will never ever go back to this place. Update: after receiving the answer from the owner, I decided to go and check them one more time. I’ll update my review again. Thanks for the kind response.

Me and my mom ate here for our tradition of Christmas Eve dinner just me and my mom. We had drink edamame, miso soup which was all good, but all we ordered for food was sushi. I don’t think our table even had a waiter honestly, 15 minutes after sitting there we finally got our drinks. And then 45 minutes after thatttt we got our sushi which was 2 spicy tuna rolls without asparagus🤢 when it came out you could just tell the tuna did not look right, my mom tried it and immediately spit it out i tried it after her & it tasted like straight up fishy fish. & we eat sushi very often lol after we told them it didn’t taste right we asked for the check & to just go. the guy who we asked for the check made sure to not walk past us or look our way lol like he didn’t want to come pick up our check. finally i had to get up & hand him our check so we could go find somewhere else to eat before anything else closed. he didn’t want to bring us the card back and made someone else do it. so we paid for what we ate and came right to shoguns where we got our soup and drinks within 10 mins of sitting down. like night and day, save yourself the frustration these people will try to cause and just go to shoguns.

Shiso is the best place in Mobile to get Hibachi.

Fendy is the best hibachi chef ever, we were impressed by how he made the food a very fun, delicious, and interactive experience that made everyone laugh. He made my financės grandpa's birthday celebration one he will never forget 👏 It is thanks to Fendy that for the first time ever we made very good friends with the people across from us by the time we were done. Thank you Fendy, for making our day! Know that your positive energy makes an impact! We hope to have you as our hibachi chef again sometime!👨🍳

My brother and I come here often. We have never had an issue with the food and the waiters/waitresses are always great.
The 3 start rating is due to your greeter at the door. She has a poor attitude, speaks in a condescending voice in my opinion (She attempted to speak in a tone like you would a child just because I couldn't hear her with 3 people speaking at once. I chose to not even respond to her) and you could see a look of disgust on her face as she walked every customer to their seats.
My brother’s very first comment once we sat down was that “she speaks to people like shes a teacher”.
The food here is great, but you may want to remedy this situation before she starts to keep customers away.

Took my brother here for his birthday . We did hibachi we were told we had a 40 min wait so we sat at the sushi bar for an hour then was seated and waited another 2 HOURS !!!! At the grill before we were finally greeted by the cook . The cook was awesome and the food was good but the wait was absolutely ridiculous for a Tuesday night . They could have told us the wait would be that long and we would have not ordered hibachi. Honesty goes along way !!!! We were there for 3 and 1/2 hours before getting our food . The wait ruined the hole experience for his birthday since everyone was ready to go at that point .

Racist place as for as I'm concerned.
We walk in with my 76 year veteran brother, wife and me. Always sit at booths when we can because of his disability. The greeter informs us that you need four for a booth. Ask greeter if they can make an exception do to his disability. No, we can't do that it would set an example. Ok whatever. So we get a seat we're we can see her color people sitting there with three people in the booth. The time and date is there, there are cameras everywhere. Show me wrong.

My husband and I had the best time tonight. We got the cheese wanton as an appetizer. I got the Big Easy roll and he got the steak and shrimp hibachi. The food did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious.
Bryan was our server and was excellent! We also encountered Olivia. She was sweet and a joy to be around. The entire staff at Shiso is so polite and helpful.
Can’t wait to go back!

My family and I came here for my 20th birthday and had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious- best hibachi I think I’ve ever had they used special spices and dairy free garlic butter! Our servers Olivia and Logan were awesome! And of course our hibachi chef FENDI was hilarious!!! Request him when you go!

My boyfriend and I were regulars here. We would go twice a week for months. First of all, we all wanted to sit in the booth but we were not allowed to sit in the booth unless we had four people. So even though we spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars every week here we still weren’t allowed to sit in the booth, even if they were all empty, OK that’s fine whatever. But every single time we’ve been here something has gone wrong or something has been mistaken. I haven’t been to a Shiso once without my order being wrong, my salad not coming out, my soup not coming out, or my sushi roll been wrong or the waitress asking me if what I ordered is even on the menu , I’ve always ordered stuff off the menu and I I am not one of those people that make changes to my entrée. I literally just order what’s on the menu and it still comes out completely wrong. I like to get the sushi box and I asked for the tuna roll, and they always bring out the California roll Which I explicitly asked them not to it gives an option for either or so why is it that hard? Also about 50% of the time my soup/salad does not come out. Sometimes my appetizers are wrong and they just bring up the entirely wrong appetizer like I said, I am not a picky person and I’m not someone that changes thing on things on the menu , I’ve heard that this business failed once and it will fail again without proper training. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for five years and the problem with this restaurant is poor management and there’s no training. There’s absolutely no training for any of the employees and they don’t even know what’s on the menu , it is very sad to see a business fail like this, but it is way too expensive to have your order mess up every time. Like I said, we’ve spent hundreds of dollars here and we’re regulars at one point, but we just can’t keep paying the premium prices for such horrible. It’s sad because the food is actually pretty good. But unfortunately, we will not be back ever again.

I have eaten at EVERY Hibachi in Mobile/ Baldwin county. This one truly "hit's different" The restaurant originated in Louisiana and the flavors of the food are indicative of this. Please take a trip to West Mobile and give them a try. Your palate will not be disappointed.

Our waitress, Jamie, was great and did a really good job. The wait on our drinks from the bar on the other hand was terrible, we were almost done eating by the time we got our drinks. The food was ok, we had sushi and it was great and the rangoons were top notch. I’m sorry to say that the hibachi was not good.

We’ve been there twice now. The food is consistently good. The first time we went, the service wasn’t great. We had to keep asking other waitstaff to get our waitress. I’m chocking that up to that one server as she was sitting at a nearby table on her phone. The second time we went our waitress was perfect. Very attentive. I give it 4 stars because their prices are quite a bit higher than other places in the area but to remedy that, I’ll go at lunch instead of dinner to pay the lower price simply because the food is really good. The atmosphere is nice as well. We didn’t do the table where they cook in front of you and our food came super fast!

Food was good the chef was good but the restaurant added 22% gratuity to the check. When they sit you with a group of people. The want everyone to pay the 22% if there is more than five people at the table even when there isn’t five people on the check . I would not come back because at this point they are just stealing money from their customers.

Stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon before they closed for lunch. I am honored to have found such amazing sushi, especially in Mobile Alabama. This was excellent.
Upon entering, Erica greeted me wit a huge smile and a pleasant "welcome", it was heartwarming, definitely genuine. She escorted me to the sushi bar and wished me a good dining experience. Let me say it was more than good! I started off with the two dishes I have not been able to find in Mobile, O-Toro and Uni, with lkura as a must have. It was delightful to see that I can get these here and they were beautifully plated and portioned well for the money, it is value for the money. My server Saia greeted me with a smile and took the order and got me started.
I commenced building rapport with the sushi Chefs, Hoy, Phet and Sammy. They were all friendly, jovial and professional, you can tell they enjoy what they do and have passion. I enjoyed interacting with them and the dopamine released as I dined was immeasurable. I inquired about recommendations and Hoy recommended Sweet Shrimp, gosh was it beautiful
plate and tasted so good too. Manny recommended Bluefin and that was sooooo gooood! Gosh, I have to say that this is the best sushi in Mobile!
The restaurant is new, inviting, open and has clean lines. The bar sits in the middle of the restaurant, which is great for access with seating all around, except for the entrance to the bar.
Thank you so much for this experience you all curated
through doing what you do. I highly recommend Shiso.
P.S. They do serve Shiso leaves as a bed for single orders of nigiri as you can see from the photos.

Delicious! I had their bento boxes a couple times and they are so good! They were willing to switch out some items for me due to my shellfish allergy. If anything, you should come here for their tempura; it's cooked so well and they serve generously. Will come back again!
