紫蘇About Shiso
We simply don’t cut corners on quality.
Every gyoza is folded by hand from organic, locally-sourced ingredients. All-natural chicken drenched in garlic butter, ground pork with ginger and chives, eight-hour braised short rib. The kind of obsession that earned us a feature inThe New York Times and six trips to Guy’s Grocery Games.
From a Pinellas Park food truck to three Tampa Bay kitchens, the standard never changed. And the best part? We cater.

> “I drive 50 minutes each way from Bradenton because I absolutely love Shiso Crispy. The Bang Bang Chicken, the Short Rib Dirty Rice, the Garlic Chive Rangoons. Every single time, chef's kiss.”

Menu as captured Aug 30, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 115 venues in Tampa, FL and could score 25 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
