    We had a fantastic dinner our first night in town. Everything was delicious and the staff were very lovely! We loved everything we had, of course the dishes were all fresh and tasty, but our star of the show was the oyster mushroom dish! We were told that they’re grown locally by a former employee, and the folks in the kitchen did an incredible job of cooking them to perfection and pairing them with the sauce/chive oil. Delicious! I would come back just to eat those mushrooms.

    I got engaged this Saturday and my fiancé set up a celebration dinner here. It was amazing. I can’t thank the staff enough for making this night even more special. They showed their generosity by giving us a custom card signed by the staff and champagne. They were so attentive and sweet. We’re very thankful.

    If you are going to a play after dinner, probably go somewhere faster. We had reservations for 6pm, and all 4 of us were seated close to 6 (I think 2 arrived later between 605 and 610). The waiter was polite and nice to interact with. He asked if we had a play and confirmed it started at 730, so we would like to be out the door by 715. We then didn't get orders in until 645. Our main dishes didn't get to the table until 720. Our bill was over $160 for 2 people and we had less than 15 minutes to eat our main dish, pay and get to our seats. Yeah sure food was good, but time management was a real problem for our waiter.

    My husband and I celebrated our birthdays at O-Ku and let me just say… REQUEST NOAH AS YOUR SERVER! He made our dining experience so wonderful - can’t praise him enough! He was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and walked us through everything front to back without skipping a beat. Although he had plenty of other tables, he still took his time to create a very personable experience for us. Aside from him being one of the best servers I’ve encountered, the food was spectacular! All around, it was a perfect experience and we will be back for sure!

    This was the most memorable birthday dinner ever 💓 I came to the restaurant with my husband to celebrate my birthday, and I was presented with a personalized birthday card, signed by all the staff, and a meaningful gift - book, from the restaurant ! Talk about class and service! The pictures are attached. Needless to say, the food was phenomenal, and the atmosphere just perfect for the occasion 👌. I loved every moment of that evening! And every dollar was well worth the experience! Thank you to our server, John, and to the amazing chef and to all who made this happen. We will be back for more special occasions. This is now our go to place in Greenville.
