    We had a lovely time celebrating our 6 month anniversary and my partner achieving 3 interviews to highly competitive grad school programs (we found out this morning he got into one of them and got the scholarship he applied for!). O-Ku surprised us with a beautiful Orchid and a special gift for him for his achievements. The service was amazing, the food was divine, we are already talking about when we can go back! Highly recommend and have been encouraging my friends to add it to their date-night/celebration spots.

    Wonderful place, the food was amazing! We got the short ribs and grilled shrimp and both were really good. I did think the short ribs weren’t very filling compared to the shrimp though. The presentation was really good and the atmosphere was wonderful. I also really enjoyed the drinks. I would totally go again, just would probably eat at the speakeasy below for the quieter more intimate vibes.
