Chef Scott's Express Sushi & Asian Fusion - Japanese restaurant in Ocean Springs - 1060 Thorn St, USA

Chef Scott is the real deal Sushi Chef. His fish is fresh and always delicious. Wish there were more fish selections, but we are in a small town place. His sweet and sour shrimp plate is perfect. It comes with a large salad with a yummy ginger dressing, steamed rice, and corn. Service is fast, and all the team members are so friendly and helpful. Mostly take out, but there are a few small tables to eat in.

The bad first because it's short and easy..... small place and service on Styrofoam plates is an injustice to good food. Then the good.... The food was very tasty! All the ingredients were top notch and fresh. The roll was not overly sauced like so many other places around. And the staff were awesome! The calamari was delicious and the shrimp tempura was very good too.

Chef Scott’s is back! Different location and plates… but same great sushi. All the signature rolls that you know and love! Crab and Asparagus soup is still lovely. Only a few tables inside but take out was bumpin’

I have LOVED Chef Scott’s for years! Every location and has always been my favorite. Never had a bad experience and food has always been delicious (hints why I always go back). However, this evening I placed a pickup order over the phone. Lady at counter was super nice, I paid and she said it will be just a few minutes on the order. Midway through I could tell something was off, tension wise. Myself and a family were the only ones in the restaurant. Chef started yelling at the front cashier and clearly it made everyone else uncomfortable (myself and the family). The lady had to walk away, after apologizing and saying sorry sir multiple times, to compose herself because she was clearly upset. It was like he kept throwing jabs and said at one point , “I thought you were smarter than that.” Was really uncomfortable. Order was ready and she apologized for the delay, I told her it’s not a problem, thank you. Idk, the whole situation was very uncomfortable overall.

Food was disappointing & not tasty. We don't eat sushi so we had to look at other options of what we like. The choices are very limited. We took gyoza as appetizer. It was average. I aske&d the girl if the beef was tender & she said yes. We each had salad. They were good sizes but the ginger sauce was just average. We had teriyaki beef with veggies. The beef was not too tender & the taste was bland. Not very appealing. It was just plain rice. We prefer fried. The girl was pleasant & checked our table a few times which we appreciated. The food was just up to par as to what we expected. Taste was not even close to teriyaki, & it really lacked flavor. No reason to return. It's pricey as well & not worth the price at all.

Wanted to try out this place after hearing such great reviews… sat there for an hour before going to pay and asking to get our food to go. Our $40 somehow came up on our bill as $59. Obviously, I asked HOW?! The girl said they charge a 17% service fee. WHAT. This was not disclosed anywhere on the menu. The owner (I guess) told her that it’s only for large orders or whatever so she refunded us in cash. Still shady, and I’m so sure they’ve done this to other customers who may not have asked questions. Sushi was disappointing, too. Even the specialty roll the chef threw in. Go somewhere else!

This is the second time that I have eaten here, and I was not disappointed either time. I highly recommend trying the octopus salad. It's absolutely amazing! Also the calamari is the best I've ever had. Last, but certainly not least, the sushi is some of the best on the gulf coast. The first time I ate here, Chef Scott introduced himself to me and my SO after our meal, he gave us complimentary Blue Fin Tuna. Our experience here is one we'll never forget!

Excellent food and excellent staff. It’s been my favorite sushi place since I was a kid and I love going back now that I’m an adult!
