Absolutely stellar restaurant! The Peking duck is a must order, it is the best I’ve ever had. Services was impeccable and atmosphere was excellent. Expensive, however very much worth it. Will be going again!

This is an incredible place to dine! It’s tucked away deep in Germantown but well worth the find. If you get a chance, request Emma as your server. I always seek a restaurant that provides the culinary experience you can’t get at home…and O-Ku provides that experience.

Fantastic variety and inventiveness, as always - the Iberico Solomillo was just outstanding, as was the octopus. Just about everything was memorable. Super friendly service. It is not surprising that some Nashville chefs list Peninsula as their favorite place to dine out.
