    The restaurant itself definitely set the mood for the evening. The lights were dim and the decor was simple yet cozy. When we walked in, we were instantly seated at our table. We were celebrating my sisters birthday and the hostess placed a birthday card on the table that was signed by all the staff. The hostess was very sweet and patient. She took a picture of us to capture the evening. Shortly there after our waiter came out and went through the menu. He was very thorough! The chefs made complimentary sashimi that was brought to the table for us to share and it was full of flavor that filled your mouth with flavor! The sushi that came out as our main dish was just as flavorful! We weren’t rushed and were able to enjoy the evening. The dessert that we ordered was just as good as sushi we ate and left of feeling satisfied. O-Ku in Alys Beach is conveniently located off 30A and the experience had is worth coming back again!

    Unfortunately we didn’t have a great experience. We live here & looked forward to trying this new restaurant. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great experience. Our waitress was lovely but food didn’t come out at same time and the drinks were very expensive & only half full. Food was good but not as good as we had hoped. Hopefully it gets better, it’s a beautiful restaurant.

    Kevin greeted us at the bar as our table wasn’t quite ready. Great drinks and wine recs. Very personable and attentive. Missa was our waitress. So sweet and also very attentive. She explained the menu to us as it was our first time. We ordered about 7-8 items to share. Every single dish was so tasty! They even threw in a free dessert for my friend’s birthday! I am so glad they opened up in Alys beach. We will be back. What an experience! 10/10 recommend O-ku Alys

    Every time we have eaten at Oku - this was the 4th time- the food has been excellent. We have really enjoyed it. The service is great and love the atmosphere. In addition, we had to change our reservation count a few times and the hostess, Lilly, was so gracious about helping me make the changes. It was most appreciated!

    Presentation was great - service was great- get the Fuego roll and lobster temaki - miso was spot on- pass on the salad with ginger - way too large and just like you get in a strip mall sushi. Everything else was 10/10

    We chose to celebrate our daughter’s birthday here as sushi is one of her favorites. They went above and beyond to make sure that her celebration was special and created some wonderful surprises to enhance our evening from beginning to end. Everything we ordered, food and beverages (including cocktails and mocktails) was beyond excellent in taste and presentation. Abi was our server and was truly phenomenal and the other waitstaff assisting her were also incredible and attentive. Our family cannot wait to go back!!!!
