    Bang Bang Chicken Dirty Rice
    Fe I.

    I finally made it to Shiso Crispy and was excited to give it a try! Since it was my first visit, I asked for a recommendation and was told the Bang Bang Chicken was their most popular item. Of course, being a little greedy, I also ordered the Wagyu gyoza. The service was quick and prompt, which I appreciated. The food was decent overall, but I may need to give them another shot when I'm not absolutely starving and inhaling everything in sight. Definitely willing to try more from the menu next time!

    Cute food truck that had really good chicken. The sauce was really tasty.there was a very small seating area.

    We came to Shiso Crispy for the vegan options and they knocked our socks off. The vegan Bang Bang Chicken and BBQ Jackfruit dirty rice were beyond tasty and super filling. They even had vegan crab Rangoon at the Tampa truck which was amazing. Highly recommend.

    BBQ Beef Short Rib Dirty Rice

    I ordered the BBQ short rib dirty rice for delivery. It was just okay, but it was not what I expected. The short rib was not very tender and overall it gave more like pulled beef over bbq flavored rice. I didn't get much flavor from the other things on the rice.

    Definitely worth the bucks cause it is so filling. It is tasty, however, I personally would add something acidic, like kimchi or pickle, to enhance the flavor. Recommend getting this to share!! It is a little food truck in a parking lot downtown. There are some seatings which are nice to sit to people and car watch.

    It is about 3.5 stars. The food truck price is almost the restaurant with physical address price. It is a tall task for the value of the food to compare a sit down order restaurant. We got the ahi tuna rice plate. The slices of ahi tuna is a bit little less for the value we have paid. Event the side is less of number. Overall is a good to try and been there.

    We came here on a Saturday around 8pm. The flavors here, amazing! We ordered and food service took about 20 mins. This is a food truck and we didn't want to eat outside at the tables so We had a 10 minute drive home. By time we got home our food was ice cold. The packing isn't great so I assume that's why the heat didn't keep. Also the food tasted as if it was fried really hard & like the oil tasted kind of burnt. I'd try this place again bc the flavors were so good. I'd just come earlier in the day

    The vegetarian options are a hit or a miss. Bbq jackfruit bao is little too sweet, the vegan dumplings are pretty good. Staff was okay, could be more friendly.

    Yummy food (good amount for decent price) Great customer service and nice place to sit (could keep seating area cleaner though) One bowl while $20 ish can definitely feed two, lots of meat.

    Bang bang chicken, Bao buns, lobster rangoons
    Desiree L.

    We absolutely love the lobster Rangoon! Every time we are in the downtown area we make sure to swing by and grab an order (or two) the Bao are also extremely light and flavorful! Everything here is Fresh and delicious. This is definitely a hidden gem the locals love to keep hidden! The employees are always friendly and the food comes quick! We take a seat next to the truck or to a bar nearby!

    Always recommend this place to whoever is in downtown Tampa. This is a comfort meal but is definitely a brick to eat all of it.

    Okay, this is Asian Fusion, folks... so we need to keep that in mind. Pros: Friendly, fast, great presentation and portion, she is definitely so crispy, recommended by hotel staff. Cons: 1) Okay, this is definitely one of those if you've got the munchies or been drinking all night type of food. The spice is kind of underwhelming and I honestly think they should give it a choice of different levels of spice. I think it is too sweet! 2) It is heaavyyyyyy on the carbs, breading, and sauce. I kinda felt sick after eating half of it. A suggestion would be to add some kind of veggie freshness to enhance the dish and to balance it all out. Or at least give it an option to. 3) It's very filling, but not sure if the amount of quality ingredients is worth the price. Take it as you will, but this is coming from an Asian so... I sorta know what I'm talking about

    Others who enjoyed the bang bang bun

    Best I ever had. Yes and I say that with conviction, it is the best I have ever, personally, tasted. Japanese food truck. The tables out front are super cute. The woman that took my order was helpful, kind and polite. :) It's a bit of a wait for the food so my recommendation is get more than you need to take home so the wait makes sense unless you have some time to chill and wait for an order. However, there is an upside to this. The food you can watch them make fresh in front of you. She even said, "sorry for the wait. I wanted to make sure they were super fresh." Well, how lovely. The end result? Divine Boa buns. Boas Jackfruit- 10/10 Bang bang- 10/10 Steak 8/10 - but to other buns not here it's probably a 10. Bang bang meal - so divine - you crave it again right after you eat it. I legit bit into and went mmmm. You know the flavors are great, texture is great. Must experience and it's soooo worth it. All the best success to you!

Parking is tough, it's very crowded in the restaurant. The sushi rice was not good whether it was on a roll or not, the sashimi is not as fresh. The tuna was tough. Was it worth 50 minutes probably not.. but it's good for an experience this was my 2nd time here, and I don't live in this area but my brother wanted to try this place. Our waiter was not as friendly. Everything felt kind of rushed because there was such a long wait. This place is kinda pricey overall. All the tables were close to eachother, but very nice decor.

I ordered it, and it was delicious and a great cut. I was truly amazed coming from an all u can eat spot. This time I focused more on just the sushi since I don't really like that every roll has the crunchy stuff as it takes away from the flavor. The sushi did not disappoint, the salmon was on point. And again I ordered the lychee martini and it was just as good as the last time. Lastly, our waitress joy if in remembering correctly, she was so great! Loved her vibe!

Instead, we chose to order individual entrées and a dessert. We received it immediately because we got there before 12 o'clock and it is also a federal holiday. Also, we were presented with menus right away. Insight has an upscale pleasant feel, and comfortable seating. The menu does have a lot of options and also I will say most of them look very appetizing. Another thing I really liked was when we came in we were asked if anyone had food allergies, which is great because you know from reading my reviews if you have that I do. Our server was full of personality and very helpful and went over every detail on the menu with us to make sure that we were happy with our choices. We also ordered Coke, zero which they said they had I really did not have Coke zero instead it was definitely Diet Coke. I'm only mentioning this because I am sensitive to Diet Coke but not Coke Zero. The food was good. I had steak teriyaki with white rice and it was full of flavor. The soup was ok, and the salad was large and pretty high quality. My partner had salmon hibachi with fried rice and a side of noodles, and notes that the salmon was fresh and that the rice had decent flavor, but that the noodles did not have a good hibachi flavor. My partner also had fried cheesecake which was fine. Service was excellent. If you take the AYCE (all you can eat) option they have rules. 1. Finish what you order before ordering more or you may be charged. 2. 2 hour limit thu-sun. Recommended

I decided to go with 2 rolls for lunch; a basic yellowtail roll, and a spider roll, which comes with fried softshell crab. While I was waiting, the sushi chef provided me with a specialty piece of yellowtail that was amazing! My rolls came out quickly, and they were absolutely perfect. While less pieces than I'm used to, the yellowtail roll was packed with fish. And the soft shell crab was perfectly cooked, plus I love that they provided the deep fried legs, too. Everything I received was beautifully plated on slate dishes, which is always a nice touch. Yes, I do think its more expensive than other sushi places ($4 for a soda, come on?!) but it was really excellent sushi. If I'm ever in the area again (which, honestly, I hope not to be), I would definitely return.

The tuna tartare was super tasty as well and I would definitely order this again same comment for micro greens on this dish - didn't need this and found myself moving it off the dishes to actually enjoy the item. The two not so favorite dishes for me were the fried rice topped with fried chicken. While chicken was very tasty the rice was extremely basic. Could have used eggs or other ingredients to elevate this dish. Also the Volcano roll was extremely disappointing. Normally the volcano topping is cooked or (torched) and this topping was cold and very unappetizing. Would not recommend this roll. Overall this place is a hit or miss. Service for our large party wasn't bad and everything came out pretty quickly!
