Shiso Noodle and Sushi Bar

Such an amazing experience. Definitely my new favorite sushi place in Philly and my husband and I eat a lot of sushi!! The prices are amazing for the quality and amount that you receive. We sat at the sushi bar and it felt
like our own personal dining space. The chef was top notch!

Hands down one the top sushi spots in philly and very glad I found this place. Went on a Saturday night and the place wasn't packed (not sure why because DAMN GOOD SUSHI)!!!
Ordered a variety of dishes and there wasn't a single thing I didn't like. We got a seat at the bar too which I highly recommend if you like to see what's going on in the kitchen. The chef made sure to ask if we liked our dishes as well. Very friendly atmosphere and highly recommend visiting for a bite to eat.

After Neighborhood Ramen closed, I didn't have a good Japanese noodle/ramen recommendation in Philly until I came to Shiso! This place is legit. We tried the fluke usuzukuri and ribeye sukiyaki. Will be back!

What a splendid and delicious evening out. This elegant but casual place is great for a date, or small group gathering. (There was a 25th birthday party going on in one spacious corner but interfered with our conversation not at all.)

My sister was on a rare visit here from Florida so we wanted someplace special where we could chat and catch up and share great food. Shiso was the perfect choice. In the space of former restaurant Serpico, Shiso Noodle is far more creative and elegant than the name would lead you to expect. Everything on the menu sounded appealing but we settled on sharing two small plates -- the crispy rice with tuna tartar atop drizzle of spicy mayo -- cravably good! and the Toro tuna roll -- which had a lot of tuna and a thin veneer of rice. So delicious. My sister ordered a pho dish which she loved. It was beautiful but, since I have a shellfish allergy which ruled out their pho broth, the waiter suggested I try a Ramen, which had a different broth. I ordered the Vegetarian Yasai Ramen. (Though I could also have had the pork or beef ones). It was amazingly delicious. They hand make their own noodles and the taste and texture is perfect. We also shared a 1/2 carafe of cold sake which was served in a beautiful, clever blue and clear glass vessel. We were definitely too full to order dessert but the three offerings looked interesting. The menu changes somewhat now and then but I can only add I'd like to try anything they make. Everything was crafted so carefully and you can always taste that level of care. It's the added special ingredient between good and great.

Man this place was spectacular. Chirashi was top quality. The miso black cod was one of the best bites of anything I’ve had in the city. Looking forward to coming back.

Food was okay and service for a drink was slow the bar setup is weird they have the sole bartender on a Friday night also seating people as well. I guess I came in with high expectations and was extremely underwhelmed. Sushi and Ramen were a bit mid ...no espresso martini's either ... probably no need to come back unfortunately.
