Modern Japanese. Old Town Scottsdale.

Shiso is a Modern Japanese restaurant in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. Fully dressed nigiri, deconstructed kimchi fried rice, A5 wagyu, and cocktails that actually taste like something.

We're at 7133 E Stetson Dr — steps from Scottsdale Fashion Square and the Entertainment District. The kind of place that works for a date night, a group dinner, a bachelorette party, or a post-golf meal that turns into a full evening.

The menu pulls from Japanese culinary traditions: fresh sashimi, premium signature rolls, A5 wagyu, rice and noodle dishes, and a bar built around Japanese whisky, sake, and cocktails.

Thursday through Saturday, DJ programming starts at 8 PM. Dinner that doesn't end early.
