    Food was very good, wait staff was wonderful. Kitchen was a little slow. Great place to have dinner and then go for drinks elsewhere in south end.

    Food and drinks were delicious. We tried the Lychee Martini, the Mandalorian and the Shogun. For our chief specialties we had the Sourhend shrimp. They were absolutely delicious. We had a few Nigiri options and sushi sushi rolls as well as the Lobster fried rice. Overall, I would definitely return here and recommend friends. The service was excellent and the food tasty!

    I had heard a lot of hype around O-ku so was excited to try. Overall it was a fine experience, the food is nothing special and the ambiance is nice but nothing too crazy to rave about.
    O-Ku - CharlotteResponded 5 days ago
    Hey Nina - we're sorry to learn that you didn't find your Oku experience to be anything more than merely satisfactory. I'd love to invite you back soon so that we can really knock it all the way out of the park for you. Please reach out if I can personally assist with your next booking!
