    We had our anniversary dinner here and they went over the top to make sure that it was special for us by sending out a complementary dish, writing a card, as well as giving us a gift when we left. The service was top notches as usual thank you.

    Dinner at O-Ku in Alys Beach tonight was a nice experience to remember . We ended up doing about 7 courses and everything was excellent. The ōtoro spoons were insane — super fatty, melted right away, probably my favorite bite of the night. We also had tuna tartare with caviar, some fish crudo, and a few other shrimp tempura dishes, and nothing missed. What really impressed me was the service. Friendly, attentive, never rushed. They even brought us an extra dish on the house, which was such a nice touch. Now I get why this place has such good reviews. Great food, great people, great experience. Would absolutely go back. #sushinight #foodlover
