    Beautiful space. Food excellent. Drinks took 15 minutes at any time to get delivered...Food delivery awkward. We went as 2 couples and had food delivered 20 min before our friends.

    This restaurant had excellent food and service and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Like all restaurants in our area prices were high but it was worth it because the food was so good.

    Oku is the Nobu on 30A! Nobody like comparisons, but Oku’s delicious menu is as good as (or even better than!) Nobu. Portion sizes were much larger, and the service was incredible I’m sure every server is great, but Iryna took incredible care of us. This is not just a restaurant worth visiting — Oku is worth visiting once or twice a month!

    It took 40 minutes to get our first drink. After that very average. Sad to say. We were really looking forward to it.

    Great drink and food menu. The service was slow because being a new restaurant, they don’t quite have the flow down.

    Always fun to try new places. Restaurant was crowded for an off season weeknight which is a testament to the concept and quality. With an 8:15pm reservation for 4, we were not able to be seated for 30 minutes after arrival. On duty manager was nice to deliver a complimentary sushi order. Menu is extensive with headings using words that no one knew the meaning of? Server was competent, knowledgeable and timely. Vibe is hip with lots of young professionals. There are options to eat at sushi bar, in main dining area or outside, as well as bar. Food quality and presentation was high end, pricing is commensurate. Overhead music was slightly intrusive and not in sync with decor or space. It was nice to have a restaurant that gave careful thought to not only the dining space but its restrooms as well. They are professionally decorated and spacious. O-ku is a nice addition to Alys Beach and 30a. Look forward to many future visits.

    Amazing evening! Wonderful and attentive service. Made a same-day reservation for my husband‘s birthday and Gabby and Paige, the OKu staff made him feel so special. The Oceanside roll was our favorite and we will be back. Great addition to 30a! Thank you!

    Our server, Jada was wonderful. She took the time to take us through the menu, pointing out favorites, chef specialties etc. Explained each dish as it was served. The food was wonderful and we enjoyed each selection we made. Very extensive and eclectic menu and we cannot wait to go back and enjoy again. High recommend!!!
