Chef Raheem Sealey made a name for himself helming the kitchen at the original Kyu and his pop-up restaurant, Drinking Pig BBQ. Now, Sealey marries his Asian, Caribbean, and barbecue techniques in one place at Shiso. Nowhere does that translate more than in Sealey’s “Shiso Chicken, Please,” a whole chicken (half smoked, half fried) served with pickles and scallion waffles. Or, try the smoked short rib, a shareable piece of meat served with sushi rice, barbecue sauce, and pickles so you can make your own hand rolls. 

Shiso brings something entirely new to Miami’s dining scene—a bold fusion of Japanese wood-fired barbecue with Caribbean flair, all under the vision of Chef Raheem Sealey. From the open-kitchen layout to rooftop cocktails and a 15-seat Chef’s counter, the concept thrives on interaction, innovation, and layered flavor. Expect dishes like smoked duck bao, yakitori glazed in mango Scotch bonnet sauce, and sake cocktails with unexpected depth.
