The best fried chicken I’ve had in my life. I ordered the Bang Bang Chicken with dirty rice. The chicken was perfectly crisped with delectable glaze, served on a blanket of sticky rice with gochujang sauce. My partner ordered the BBQ beef short rib, which practically melted in your mouth. We will definitely be coming back to try more of the innovative dishes here.

As a lover of sweet flavors and crunchy textures, Shiso Crispy absolutely delivers. Their food has a perfect balance of taste and texture that’s not too heavy despite how much food they provide. Definitely recommend to order ahead of time, as wait times can be long.

Shiso Crispy was absolutely amazing! The food was insanely good, fresh, flavorful, and just so satisfying. Huge shoutout to Mike for being so kind and thoughtful. I was with a baby and he went out of his way to make a small plate of plain rice and chicken on the side. That small gesture meant so much. 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you Mike!

I stopped by SHISO Crispy in Tampa and Babyyyy I tried the Vegan Bang Bang Chicken—the flavors were absolutely incredible! I also had the Lobster Rangoon, and wow... crispy on the outside with a creamy, delicious filling that packs a punch. I loved the bold flavors, the sauce, and the phenomenal customer service. Definitely a must-visit spot to grab a bite—you won’t be disappointed!

The food definitely exceeded my expectations. Shisu crispy is very correct, very crispy and flavorful. Even the rice was perfectly sticky. Thanks Mike for recommending the beef short rib bar buns too. Chefs kiss!! Great customer service.

Shiso Crispy is delicious! Stopped here for dinner when in downtown Tampa and happy I did! Stephen couldn’t have been more helpful when ordering and even let us try a sample of the truffle gyoza I think the pork bao buns were my favorite but everything was so tasty! Come check this place out in Tampa or their other locations.

I hate that I went here when I was in town for a work trip...because now I'm far away and know it will be years before I can order from this truck again. The crab rangoon, dirty rice and chicken was so good and the portion was enough for two nights - price was justified. The guy working was super nice and gave me recommendations for where to check out later that night. Will be back...one day.

Food was amazing! Had the Ahi Tuna and the Bang Bang Chicken. So flavorful. Just the right amount of spice. Best Ahi Tuna we’ve had in a long time.
