    We have patronized O-Ku for several years and it always exceptional. Important is that good food, even great food is fantastic, but your team is always way above the mark on all levels. This is what we always recall first. We really had to laugh how everybody congratulated us on our 140th anniversary! We do age well... hahah. Michael, our guide thru the evening, added so much to the value of the night. Regards, Geraldine and Dick Markus

    The restaurant was a total vibe! Our waitress was super knowledgeable and sweet. Im not a sushi person but my girlfriend loved the NashVegas. She said the quality was the best she’s ever had. Noise from people’s conversations was a bit much, but not much you can do about that. I only wish the music was a tad bit louder to enjoy. Overall we’ll definitely be back!

    Excellent service. Excellent food! We were so impressed by the appetizers we had (shishito peppers and tebasaki)… as well as the way our anniversary was noted by staff and on our menus! We love Ok-u and will be back!
