    What an awesome place to eat! Food and service were amazing! Took my wife for her birthday, not only did the wait staff bring out a complimentary dessert, but the staff all signed a card for her, which we thought was a super sweet touch! Great restaurant, we would highly recommend!!

    The food here is amazing. The service and the service that celebrated my birthday felt like I was part of the family. I am so grateful for the beautiful experience and the delicious food. My go to sushi place will now be o-Ku Sushi. Our waitress Cynthia, who I requested based on a positive and also great first previous dining experience with her, was also amazing. She went above and beyond to make my birthday dinner so welcoming and yummmy. Thank you to all the staff for being so accommodating and the small details you incorporated to our dinner to make it so special for me.

    One of our long time go-tos in Raleigh... along with their sister restaurants, Oak Steakhouse next door, and Colletta at Fenton. They never disappoint! :)
