Mia provided the most amazing experience as did the whole staff! From the homemade focaccia with crispy proscuitto and burrata to the light crisp arugula salad. Everything was top notch from beginning to end. Beautiful restaurant as well.

Our family with 2 college aged kids had a fabulous and fun experience dining at O-Ku as part of our holiday celebrations together. We had the Osusume chef tasting menu and loved every bit of it. Our outstanding server Elena described it as a tour of the menu. It included sushi and sashimi courses as well as delicious braised beef and dessert. We also enjoyed tasting different sake's and learning more about the flavor profiles. A great experience overall!

Overall a great experience. The server was amazing. The bread is to die for. The oysters were delicious. The peel /eat shrimp appetizer was great. The octopus appetizer was great. We also had the she crab soup, the mushroom side, the hushpuppy side. The entrees were the scallops dish and the flounder dish. Overall great. The wait time between dishes seemed very long. Not a place to go if you are on a tight schedule for event after dinner. Suggestion may be to order everything early on and let them glow it. Definitely will be back for oysters and appetizers.

We loved this restaurant! We had the calamari which was so tender and just a tad spicy. So good! The truffle Mac and cheese, bruschetta, and scallops were all delicious. It was our birthdays and they brought out cotton candy with a candle! We will be back!
