    Our experience was just ok. Service was extremely slow. At least an hour for our food and we didn't order a lot . Cocktails were delicious but had too many of them waiting on our food . Sushi was good but nothing spectacular.
    O-Ku - CharlotteResponded 3 days ago

We're constantly working to improve our service, and your comments will help us do just that. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future, and we'll strive to provide you with a quicker and more enjoyable experience next time. At Your Service, Lauren Bachar General Manager

    Lovely interior! Food was decent - fish didn’t seem all too fresh but it was still good. Would go back for the lobster hand rolls but would probably go elsewhere for sushi itself.
    O-Ku - CharlotteResponded 5 days ago
    Hey Sarah! Thank you for taking the time to leave us this thoughtful review. I am glad you enjoyed the ambience and the lobster temaki (my fav thing on the whole menu), but disheartened to learn that you found the rest of the meal to be lackluster. We always strive to ensure the utmost quality of our fish, and I'm sorry that we seem to have fallen short on that for you. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will certainly take them into consideration as we continue to improve our offerings and service. Thank you again for your feedback. We will look forward to another opportunity to wow you in the future.

    Cannot say enough good things about our experience and our waitress Anastasia. We went for our anniversary and it was my first time at the restaurant and we had unbelievable customer service from the entire team, but Anastasia in particular. She was amazing and the food was just as great! Will definitely be going back
