Best Japanese Restaurants in Plaza Midwood

Overall it was an excellent experience. It’s a bit pricy for the proportions but the food was very good and unique. Definitely recommend it for special occasions or a night out.

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.

As always, the food was excellent and the service friendly and responsive.

Great food and service. I live in the DC area and have access to fantastic, chic sushi restaurants, so when I compare, I do think the pricing is a tiny bit aggressive. Still, it was yummy, and I enjoyed myself. Think the downstairs dining ambience could benefit from a bit more…something. Still, I’d happily go back next time I come to town and have recommended it to my friends that live local. :)

I've seen restaurants like this in movies and had no idea there was one like it in Charlotte. I came here the first time with a couple of family members and returned with my friends here for girls' night out. The quality of the food is excellent. The experience of being with family or friends, grilling the food while socializing was such fun, and everything from appetizers to S'mores was delicious! Trevor, our server, was kind, personable and attentive. He explained the menu and made great recommendations. We are definitely coming back! I highly recommend Gyu-Kaku.
