I visited on a Tuesday around 3:30p. I was on a mission to do reconnaissance for a Habachi…read moreexperience that I wanted to give a cousin. From my reconnaissance results, everything was wonderful at this restaurant. The hostess greeted me immediately and gave me a tour of the restaurant when I told her that I was surveying and comparing different Japanese restaurants in the area. She asked questions about my event and what I wanted in the experience. The restaurant was bright and clean, which I absolutely loved. Other places were way too dark for my preference. We toured the bar area, the sushi area, and the hibachi area. Everything was clean, organized and inviting. The hostess was very friendly, informative and helpful. She asked about the times that I might come and even suggested the best times for particular days. I felt so comfortable that I wanted to end the tour and order something to eat on this mission, but I decided against it until I found out that they serve dim sum. Since these delicacies are generally not available where I live, I decided to try a few of my favorites. While the taste of the shrimp & pork dumplings was underwhelming, the sesame balls were perfect. I am excited to bring my family here for the hibachi experience and I will update this review afterward. Update after the hibachi experience. When the five of us arrived on a Friday at 5:30 PM, we were greeted immediately. My tour guide from the previous day, remembered me and told the hostess to seat us at a special table. Then the usual process of hibachi started. Our cook was very interactive, funny and entertaining. He prepared our food wonderfully, seasoned it well and entertained us expertly. My cousin, whom had never experienced a hibachi dinner/entertainment prior to this, thoroughly enjoyed her dinner and raved about coming back sometime soon. We all had such a wonderful experience that we will return.

They have hibachi at the large tables if you want to go that route or you can dine at a regular table or booth. The bar is beautiful and well stocked. The waitstaff is always so nice and knowledgeable. The sushi is always fresh. The crab ragoons and dumplings are great appetizers. If you are in the mood for Japanese, you can't go wrong with ShiSo!

Edamame lacked a little flavor but was salty on some & then nothing on other pieces but still a good app. The kids rice was rice & egg only with a teriyaki sauce on top. Also got a warm sake.

The eggs rolls were an odd consistency and mushy the taste was ok but the the mushiness was definitely not appetizing. The tempura asparagus appetizer was ok but seemed more like from a frozen bag but then is a fast food type place so ok. The Godzilla roll was small and ok but not what I would expect. Overall the food was ok at best. With all of the other sushi restaurants around I believe there are better choices for the money.

Rice in Mobile promises an Asian bistro experience with sushi, but don't let the name fool you --…read moreit's mostly Thai. And maybe they call it Rice because that's about as saucy as it gets. Everything looked promising at first -- nice menu, good presentation -- but one bite in and I started wondering if they ran out of sauce halfway through training. The chicken was a bit overcooked, the vegetables were spot-on, but without any sauce to pull it together, the dish felt like an unfinished thought. The salad was there for moral support, and the gyoza was the one shining star -- crispy, flavorful, and seemingly made by someone who still believed in flavor. It's not bad food, just kind of... indifferent. Like that coworker who clocks in early but spends the day rearranging paperclips. Rice could be great with just a little more passion -- or, you know, sauce.

The miso soup, the ginger salad, and the hibachi was more than enough and all tasted really fresh. The service was great, our lovely waitress was working so hard with other table but still checked up on us throughout the meal. I love the decor and the seating is really unique. Great place to eat! Only complaint was that it was quite warm in the dining area because of the constant use of the hibachi grills, but we were fine! She gave us to go boxes and even to go yum yum sauce without us even requesting. We will be back!
