    Everything was great, but wanted to give a shout out to our server, Jana. This was our 2nd visit, 1st time with her. Night and day difference in service! She was very professional, personable and a joy to meet. We would ask for her next time.

    Loved everything about this place! Staff was super nice from the get go and our server made sure to ask about allergies. I have peanut/tree nut, mushroom, and avocado allergies and they were super accommodating and made sure to let me know what to avoid and if anything could be prepared differently. We ordered the hot sake, Hamachi Carpaccio, spicy kimchi edamame, maguro and sake sashimi, the Nashvegas roll (got it not fried), and the spicy tuna roll. Everything was delicious! I think my favorite was the Nashvegas and I would absolutely go back and order it and try everything else on the menu. You can't go wrong here.

    A nice place, good for date night, very expensive (but knew that going in). Misunderstanding about a food order so we sat there without food for a while, but they ended up giving us that item on the house which was nice. Overall very good experience!

    The general manager was so welcoming and made our first engaged Valentine’s splendid! We got a Polaroid keepsake and a cute card congratulating us on our engagement. The staff were lovely as well! The food was amazing and the valentines six course meal was so much fun to try. We will definitely be recommending O-Ku to friends and family!
