    Excellent! Every dish was so delicious that I cannot find a favorite one! Chef Taka and chef Kim were very engaging, service from Sam and Fernando were very friendly and attentive. The ambience in the 10-seats room was very nice and cosy, though the process of entering the private room was a bit chaotic as we had to weave through a very crowded restaurant, and, the door to the private room was right up against a couple of table full of diners the we had to squeeze in between them! Overall it was a great experience, reasonable for its price point. I just hope that they can improve the entrance to the private room. Will definitely be back there soon.

    Just amazing! We’ve been going to Takato for years and just found out about Oku. One of the best Omakase experiences ever. As others have commented the meal is a progression of warm course and then nigiri followed by a maki and amazing fruit and dessert. The fellow dinners are great and we even made a new friend! Really a great value.

    Just a heads up it’s more of a Kaiseki experience instead of a pure omakase featuring nigiri. But the meal was absolutely fantastic and every course was amazing. The staff really took care of you and the chefs were so fun to talk to and learn from. Looking forward to bringing my wife for a date night.

    Every reservation is a guaranteed memorable experience. This the best omakase experience you can imagine. It’s worth it. For the anniversary. For the promotion. Or just because. You won’t regret it.

    It’s hard to put into words the amazing omakase experience that we had at Oku by Takato. From the moment we walked in we were promptly greeted by first name and walked over to our seat. The chefs were meticulous in explaining all the dishes and their respective ingredients. And the flavor, just WOW. Talk about the epitome of elegance and amazing taste. Thank you Helen, Liz, Fernando, chef Kim and Troy. Can’t wait to go back!

    Obscenely expensive. I've eaten at comparable omakase dinners, as well as Michelin-star restaurants around the country and abroad, and none have come close to the cost of Oku. Everything about Oku was great. Chef Taek Lee was amazing - his food, the presentation and engagement with patrons. However, $800 (including sake) for two people is just not worth it.
