  Service was absolutely terrible. Our waitress was very rude and missed various parts of our order. One appetizer did not come out at all because she forgot to put the order in and once the check came, she added an additional entree that we did not order. After reiterating the food that we ordered to her she proceeds to ask us, “is there anything else you need?” in the worst most disgusting attitude ever. It seemed like this is was a common theme for her, as the table beside us had issues with getting timely service from her. She also had an attitude with them and it was telling she either was having a rough day or was very irritable. Beware, this is my second time at this restaurant where the service has been is this bad. Not worth spending your money here, there are plenty of other phenomenal Sushi spots with great ambiance and wonderful service!

  The nigiri and sashimi were a bit underwhelming for me. I just think the salmon was not at its best quality. But other dishes, like the duck, were exceptionally good. The unagi roll was also tasty; creamy avocado paired with a hint of spice from habanero.

  Probably my 5th or 6th time dining at O-Ku. Every visit has been a pleasant experience with good food and great service, but this recent visit was particularly outstanding. Our waitress, Melissa, really outdid herself. I came with my partner and her father who was in town to celebrate my birthday, and Melissa kindly brought out not one, or two, but three menu items — completely complimentary — as a sign of appreciation and recognition of my birthday. 2 of the items were appetizers (edamame and dumplings, which were delicious) and the 3rd was a small bowl of ice cream with candles. She made this night and the experience dining here unexpectedly memorable. As always, the sushi was great and the drinks were incredible. O-Ku is one of my favorite places for sushi in the city, and their customer service always goes above and beyond. Thank you, Melissa!

  The food was amazing but it was overshadowed by the complete disregard to disabled customers. Their elevator is used as a dumb water for garbage and smells awful. They keep a grey cart that is 18 inches wide inside the elevator, making it standing room only vs wheelchair accessible. I spoke to management about my experience with the cart on my trip upstairs and was reassured it would be handled. On the way out, after paying $500 for dinner, the cart was still in the elevator. A waiter removed it upon request but left behind a puddle of rancid garbage juice on the floor. It ls a shame that such a nice restaurant thought so little of its disabled customers.

  Visiting from out of town and found this was the closest restaurant highly rated for sushi/sashimi in the area. To start the good to great: arrived with no reservations on a busy night but was seated quickly at the sushi bar so I could watch the chefs. My server was great and attentive recommending the Sugar & Spice which was exactly as described and great passion fruit flavor. The not so good: I ordered the mixed Morikaze chefs choice on sushi and sashimi. Portions were good and the fish was fresh. I'm not a huge fan of Magiro or Sake, due to their wide spread popularity, but both were fine but nothing special as part of chef's choice. My real issue was with the sushi rice which is the key component of nigiri. It was overly sweet, cold, and too al dente for my taste ruining the nigiri experience. For the prices I would expect higher quality but then again this restaurant is about turn over and lots of tables so I understand why it was poor. I did not try any of the other items.
