   We had an amazing date here! The food was exceptional and the server was hilarious. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered and we tried quite a few different things. The chef heard it was my boyfriend’s first time there and sent a plate of bluefin carpaccio for us to try that was so amazing we wanted to order all of them. Great time, very sexy date night ambiance or fun girls night too.

   It was incredible! It was my brother‘s birthday, and they did such a nice job to make him feel celebrated. It’s his favorite spot, and we always go for every special occasion. The food was delicious, and it came quickly. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back!

   Very long time to get food, in spite of the fact that the restaurant was almost empty at 4:45PM. No itemized bill.

   My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at O-Ku. Ive been there multiple times with girlfriends but coming with him was great! The truffle and red dragon roll is incredible. Do not sleep on the lemon salmon! I will say the service is great but the music sounds like we are in a german nightclub or at a rave 😂 it can be incredibly distracting especially if its a date. Its also super loud. Five stars all around the only thing id change is the music choice and volume!

And while we certainly acknowledge that our ambience and vibe isn't everyone's perfect cup of tea, we appreciate that even though the music wasn't your fav that you'd still give us five stars, thank you so much! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
