    We were greeted by a friendly and welcoming host. Our waiter was impressive with his knowledge of the cuisine and explanation of some customer favorites. We also appreciated the photographer on hand. Her pictures were very well done. Our table purchased four group pictures. The ambiance was beautiful and positive. We enjoyed our time and recommend Kitchen & Kocktails by Kevin Kelley - Charlotte for everyone.

    O-Ku continues to go above and beyond! This restaurant amazes me with their customer service. I had shared that my family was celebrating my brother’s accomplishment in the Navy when I booked the reservation a month ago. When we were seated, there was a gift at the table. They ordered my brother a special gift to join in our celebration. Two managers also stopped by the table to check in. Our waitress was super attentive. The food was incredible. My favorite place in all of Charlotte to go! Can’t wait to go back.

    5 stars all around! The service from Tyler and the assisting staff were impeccable. Tyler made great recommendations and explained the menu from drinks to dessert very well. The food was beautiful and very delicious. The timing of the food was also proper. Not only did we have amazing food, but the service was hands down some of the best we have experienced in a while! We will be back sooner rather than later!

    We did Sunday Brunch before a Panther’s game. Very nice selection of drinks, mocktails, and brunch items. I got the Lomo Saltido (SP?). Added the egg for $2 more. So much flavor and a slow heat build up as I ate. My wife got the avocado toast. The poached egg great and the balsamic drizzle on toast was a fantastic addition. My daughter got the pancakes. Wow. So fluffy and the black berries and blue berries were so good.
