    Delicious fare all around. Excellent service. Our waitress described each dish we asked about in colorful detail that led us to order exactly what we needed. Highlights: sticky ribs! And Firecracker roll.

    Bella was the best! She honestly made my entire night and I had to come here and share. I am celiac and she made sure that everything was gluten free. Was super tentative. Also, got to shoutout their meringue dessert! Really good.

    Love O-Ku. My cocktail of choice there is the Sugar & Spice (picture). The staff is very attentive and eager to help with options in case of any allergies. Make sure you make a reservation. This place is so good that you need to save a spot. 😉

    Food was a 7/10. Not the best sushi but not bad but for reviews I had higher expectations. I was expecting top tier sushi and it definitely did not hit. The ventilation system wasn’t properly working. It felt very hot inside. The server told us that they lost power last week due to a storm which spoiled a lot of their fish so they had to condense their menu.

    This was a fantastic sushi experience. The wine list was outstanding and the good was off the hook. I loved the atmosphere and the decor, upscale industrial plus a cool vibe. Service was above and beyond. We did the sashimi and some rolls and loved everything. They had a bit of a limited menu because of recent storm related issues but it didn't diminish the enjoyment at all. I highly recommend this venue without any issue.
