My friends and I ate here after skateboarding, it was our first time and it was great! the outside chill area and inside are both chill and a vibe without trying too hard. The 3 guys running the place were super cool and nice and made the food fast but with love! The food tasted incredible! as I got the bang bang chicken bao bun the flavors were savory and refreshing, loved the ingredients and depth. Mike especially was dope thank you for serving us with great food and good vibes!

Shisho crispy has delicious amazing decadent food! The chicken is next level with the perfect amount of crisp. The ahi tuna is divine. The bao buns are incredible and let’s talk about the phenomenal deserts. Banana cake wowed me. The coconut pistachio cheesecake was a delight as well.
There’s are finely devoted dining room but you go out back and buy the food from a muraled food truck. There’s staff is friendly and they are quick even if it’s busy. I loveeee itttt

The food was too saucy, like overly saucy and the rice at the bottom had even more sauce.
I got the bang bang chicken and it was really crispy and overly saucy. The chive and cream cheese rations were mediocre at best and will say that easily the best thing we got, were the spring rolls and even those were a bit too mushy inside. The rice had even more sauce on it than the chicken. It was just too much
The taste was funky and overly sweet. I did not enjoy my food and ended up leaving over half and we ended up eating somewhere else. It’s all taste preferences and I supposed I was expecting authentic and this is definitely not authentic. I would also say the chicken is overly crispy.
Also, the people taking orders are quite rude and unpersonable. Just seems like they hate to be there taking your order and money. it’s like ugh bc why work there? I guess customer service is dead

Literally, Shiso Crispy is the best food/hidden gem in St Pete. That’s the place where you get to brag about and show your friends. I have the bang bang chicken one time and your life will be forever changed. I can’t even eat Chinese food anymore.

Yo, if you’re ever in downtown Saint Pete, you got to stop by Shiso Crispy. ANYTHING on the menu is fire. I personally like the Bang Bang Chicken Bao Buns and Dirty Rice. I promise it’s gonna bring you right back here so you can thank me. Don’t forget to come back here and thank me.

Just okay. I made the mistake of going with the recommendation of the bartender. Bang bang chicken is chicken nuggets over white rice. Dirty rice I don’t think so. White rice with an orange bang bang sauce. Definite healthy Portion, but the 4 ounce plastic cup of red wine for $13 was unnecessary. Won’t return. And outdoor seating only. Be prepared if the weather is cold or rainy. No other options.

I am obsessed with this place. Second time I’ve tried this place now, and I’m in heaven. I got the bang bang chicken and white rice, the sauce is to die for, fried onions ontop, chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and crispy on the outside. Also got the crab ragoons, pretty decent size, of course these are amazing too. I dream about this meal tbfh. The manager is the kindest soul, great service!!

The food is always on point, so much so that I go to one of their St Pete locations weekly. It’s so flavorful with the chicken (my personal favorite) being perfectly cooked for a satisfying crunch. The staff is friendly/personable, conversational, and impressively efficient as it’s usually quite busy but never a long wait; shoutout Mike from the Central Ave location near the Trop! He was holding it down on a busy Saturday and delivered 3 phenomenal platters bang bang shrimp, chicken, and BBQ short rib (sauce, protein ratio, flavor were immaculate). Highly recommend a platter for a grab & go to eat at home for a movie night, to eat on a date night (especially at their new restaurant/bar location), and make sure to try their shiso sour beer!
