12 Best Japanese Restaurants near Ocean Springs

“Wasabi is our go-to spot for sushi, and it never disappoints. Steven and Ricky are incredibly talented and always experimenting with new sauces, flavor profiles, and textures—which makes every visit feel exciting and personal. We love sitting at the sushi bar for our date nights and letting them create whatever they're inspired by in the moment. Somehow, it always hits the mark.

Of course, we have our must-haves (the pan-fried gyoza and jalapeño hamachi are non-negotiables), but their real magic shines through in their creativity. Even on the rare occasion when something isn’t quite our favorite, they take note—and are still determined to craft something new that feels tailored to our taste. That level of care and intentionality is what sets them apart.

The waitstaff are amazing, too. They always greet us with genuine warmth and excitement, and it truly feels like we’re welcomed back every time we walk through the door. We love spending our money here—not just because the food is outstanding, but because we feel seen, heard, and appreciated. That is why we’ll keep coming back. The rest is just a bonus.“

“The lunch steak hibachi plate with rice is fantastic! It is my go-to meal every time we go here to eat. The service is always friendly with a smile. If you've never been here or tried the food, you're most definitely missing out on a great place with amazing food and super fat and friendly service. Thank you again J Hibachi!!!“

“It was my first time there. I really enjoyed every part of the meal. We all cleared our plates. 😮 it was so good.“

“We have ALWAYS enjoyed Samurai D' Iberville. The food is always tasty and service is wonderful. our server, Kayla, was the best! She made sure that we were totally satisfied with both food and service. We can't wait to go back!“

“This is one of my favorite places in town for delivery or pickup. It’s always hot or the appropriate temp. The staff is friendly, will fix anything. Tyrir menu is nice and rounded. I’m super satisfied Ieverytine I order or pick up there. As for the dining room experience, I haven’t had the best experience. It’s clean but a bit dingy, but everything else is the same. And their egg drop is definitely the best in town. Very close to the pass road gate, so super convenient for everybody!“

“Food is so good! Great atmosphere and great service! We love ❤️“

“Food is always phenomenal. I drive from Gautier to eat there and always well worth the trip. All time favorite. Highly recommend. Top quality sushi, hibachi, & top shelf from scratch ramen. All of it is amazing.“

“Great food, modern minimalist decor“

“We dined at Ji Pan Asian at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi twice during our New Year vacation, and both visits were excellent. The service was attentive and polished, the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was the perfect complement to the meal—warm, upscale, and ideal for a couple’s date night. Consistent quality from start to finish. Highly recommend.“

“First time here and I was impressed with how big it was on the inside. We had a great time and our food tasted good. I thought the prices were fair for the amount of food you get. They also allow you to take your food to go home if you don’t finish it, which is very nice, considering most hibachi places don’t do that. The steak and shrimp was yummy. The egg drop soup was tasty too.

I’d like to go back again! Thanks for a good experience.“

“Great food with a mixture of my favorite “ chicken n broccoli “. We have traveled the world and after moving to the gulf coast six months ago we finally got our favorite food- Chinese food. Great service and got it within 7-8 minutes pipping hot. Want great food—drive here-we did.“

“Love the new menu and the upgrade, it’s like sitting in a sauna though the air was not turned on at all. The stuff inside the rolls is very skimped. Not at all what it use to be. The employees seemed to be more into chatting than working. Waiter had no personality he acted like he hated life.“
