Overview

Shiso Fusion (Shiso Asian Fusion) is a small contemporary Pan-Asian restaurant at 1191 Argyle Street in Finnieston. The kitchen leans Thai — curries, Tom Yum and Tom Kha, phad thai, clay pots — with Korean gimbap, sizzling grills and a few South Pacific / wider Asian touches, and vegan dishes are marked on the menu. Starters run roughly £6–£9 (sharing platter from £12pp for two or more); most mains sit around £13.50–£18, with Angus steak and some clay-pot dishes up to about £22. It is licensed, not BYOB: the drinks list covers wine by the glass and bottle (roughly £22–£30), cocktails such as Aperol Spritz and Espresso Martini (£7.50–£9.50), Singha, Tsingtao and Asahi beer, Korean soju and Mekong Thai whiskey. Online ordering for collection is on the website (pickup up to about 30 minutes). Google lists reservations as accepted; TripAdvisor diners note the room is small and cosy, so booking ahead at busy times is wise. Hours on the official site are Monday evenings 5–10pm, Tuesday–Thursday lunch then dinner (12–3 and 5–10), and Friday–Sunday roughly noon–10pm. Exhibition Centre railway station is about a seven-minute walk; Argyle Street buses also serve the corridor. Food Standards Scotland lists a Pass hygiene rating (inspected April 2025). Google rating is about 4.6 from roughly 90+ reviews, with Tom Yum and Thai curries often singled out.

We greatly enjoyed our first visit to this restaurant. Our meals were delicious and served expeditiously. I had the sea bass and mango salad. It was very flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. My husband enjoyed chicken stir fry.

Fantastic service, good portions and great ambience. Came here with a bigger party and had plenty of good recommendations for food. I had the special fried rice which came in a pineapple which was very entertaining! Loses a star because the Siu Mai was literally just a slab of chicken and pepper.

Here I experienced a completely different Thai restaurant. I used to live in Leeds and I loved the Thai food there, but it was very noisy and crowded, like street food. Each dish here has an elaborate tray and the taste is very satisfying. The attitude and speed of the waiter were delightful. It's worth having a relaxing party here on a weekend night.

It’s ok… for what we got I thought it was a bit on the dear side. For starters we got the sharing platter, some veg, some fishcakes and some deep fried goodness. While the deep fried things were tasty, they didn’t distinctly taste any better than some frozen ones you can get from a shop. The fishcakes and other meat based cake just tasted quite odd, I think it was slightly under seasoned that not even the sauces could hide. The sauces were really tasty, but after having the rest of the platter I couldn’t help but think they’d just come from a pre-packaged bottle. For the mains, I was slightly miffed that I couldn’t try the Gimbap as that had run out?! (Even though isn’t it just rice and assorted toppings??). The massaman curry was definitely massaman curry, but really didn’t surprise me or exceed any expectations. The beef was incredibly overcooked, and required a lot of chewing. Just tasted exactly like every other one I’ve ever had. My friends dish was the king prawn honey chilli stir fry, which I never tried, but just looked like fish and veg in a bog standard sweet n sour sauce. Never drank, and friend just had some jasmine tea, but for this, it all came to £33 a head and leaving still quite hungry. Also just on the service front, while the staff were friendly and helpful, they were quite inattentive as once we’d finished eating they didn’t come over and ask if we wanted dessert or a cup of tea. Instead we sat around for an hour (having a lovely conversation to be fair) until I went up to the counter to ask for the bill. Overall the food was nothing to write home about, but it was all well cooked and nicely presented. The restaurant is in a nice area and does look quite nice inside, but does remind me a bit too much of an instagram backdrop. Thanks regardless.
