Visited Shiso for the second time last week with my boyfriend.
The 1st time I went, lunch special was over and everything was very expensive (for an asian place).
2nd time I went last week, lunch special was available and it was much more fair on the price.
Portions were definately smaller but enough to be full as the regular entree portions are quite large.
Considering that it's in "J town", theres not a lot of Japanese incorporated with the menu other than the poutine selection.
We ordered the bolognese fries, my favourite out of all the others.
In my opinion, fries are fresh and taste like New York Fries to be honest, but the sauce is definately awesome!
Garlic bread that came with the pasta is delicious, salad is awesome as well, love the sauce.
(I rarely finish salads that are complimentary, but I ate all of this one)
Its a nice clean, quiet, classy place for lunch, definately recommend this place!
