    The service was AMAZING! It was my husband‘s birthday, and the host asked me a few questions about him on the phone. Cut to dinner, and they gave him a personalized gift! It was SO sweet snd unexpected, something that makes us want to go back for every birthday dinner. Food was amazing as well.

    O-ku had good service, but unfortunately the music is pretty loud. Even at a small table I had a difficult time hearing people in my party. Food was average, ambiance was very nice.

    We celebrated our anniversary at O-Ku and had an amazing time. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere made the night feel special. Our waiter Josh made the experience even better. He was warm, attentive, and gave great recommendations without ever hovering. He helped make our anniversary dinner feel seamless and memorable. We’ll definitely be back and will ask for Josh again. Highly recommend!

    7PM reservation on a Tuesday made for an uncrowded restaurant. Nice table setting; Cocktails were tasty (two ladies suggest getting the Sugar & Spice). Food was off the charts. Most notable about the visit was the spot on recommendations from our server Bridget. Prompt stead service happened on table water, cocktails, apps and dishes. Despite not having a full house the noise was loud enough to make us a speak up a bit. Price was up a bit but then so was the caliber of the food. Valet service was quick. We'd definitely go back.
