Fabulous way to spend Thanksgiving, something for everyone and everything was delicious! The only downside was being seated by the door, as it was a windy and kinda chilly day, we got hit with a blast of cold air every time the door opened. It wasn’t enough to make us ask to change tables or anything. Just something to note.

O-Ku continues to go above and beyond! This restaurant amazes me with their customer service. I had shared that my family was celebrating my brother’s accomplishment in the Navy when I booked the reservation a month ago. When we were seated, there was a gift at the table. They ordered my brother a special gift to join in our celebration. Two managers also stopped by the table to check in. Our waitress was super attentive. The food was incredible. My favorite place in all of Charlotte to go! Can’t wait to go back.

The Manager was very helpful. We asked for a seat change. Why? We were initially seated close to the entrance and each time the door was opened, we got hit with the cold breeze (outside temp around 35 degrees at the time). The Manager ushered us to a better seat in the back of the restaurant and we ended up having a great time. Thanks for your understanding and resolving our issue.
