Our group of 6 (women ages 42-78 years old) really enjoyed our first experience here. We were seated quickly, which included accommodations for a wheel chair. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We were happy the music wasn’t loud… we could hear it, but could hear each other clearly with a normal speaking tone. We will return!!

Our family with 2 college aged kids had a fabulous and fun experience dining at O-Ku as part of our holiday celebrations together. We had the Osusume chef tasting menu and loved every bit of it. Our outstanding server Elena described it as a tour of the menu. It included sushi and sashimi courses as well as delicious braised beef and dessert. We also enjoyed tasting different sake's and learning more about the flavor profiles. A great experience overall!

Came on a Friday night around 7, party of 2. Getting in was probably the “hardest”/ least smooth part of the process. We didn’t have reservations so had to wait a few minutes no problem. There was a party or 5 waiting to get in so I made a quick reservation and there were plenty of tables. When we were brought in, the bar was pretty empty making us wonder why the (albeit short) wait. The drinks were great, Toki was our bartender and her energy and knowledge will definitely bring us back!

Our server was amazing, attentive and professional. The food menu is limited on the rooftop so I hated that part. Also, I’ve never been ID’ed at check in of the reservation. I thought that was so weird.
