One of the most highly anticipated restaurants of 2025 is closing in Wynwood.<\/p>\n

Shiso Asian Smokehouse, which opened at 239 NW 28th St. with the aim of highlighting the considerable culinary talents of chef Raheem Sealey, is shutting down to become an event space.<\/p>\n

Restaurant ownership announced that this weekend marks the final days of Shiso, which opened in March 2025<\/a> and specialized in Asian smoked meats and other exotic fare, like uni on cornbread. and smoked oxtail.<\/p>\n

After July 12, the restaurant will shut down, and the space will transition into the Wynwood Event Center, which will host private events, parties, weddings, corporate meetings and other gatherings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud of what Shiso accomplished,\u201d the ownership said in a statement, adding that the Shiso culinary team will be one of the catering options at the new event space. \u201cThank you to everyone who dined with us and supported Shiso. We can\u2019t wait to welcome you to this exciting new chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move comes only months after the announcement that On & On, Shiso\u2019s rooftop bar, would be opening<\/a> to host music events.<\/p>\n

Sealey will continue his work at Drinking Pig BBQ at 3444 Main Highway in Coconut Grove, which opened in the fall of 2025.<\/a> The restaurant serves the barbecue that Sealey made famous when he started the business at his North Miami home<\/a> during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Opening Drinking Pig was a dream come true for Sealey, who drew a following when he worked at Wynwood\u2019s KYU.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m super grateful for Miami, for the people that believe in me,\u201d he told the Miami Herald in 2025. \u201cI\u2019m just part of the community and trying to build things that the community wants and likes. I\u2019m grateful to where I came from and where I\u2019m at. I just love the city and raising my family here and being able to do this type of stuff in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
