  O-Ku Charlotte was a beautiful spot for a birthday celebration. We had a group of 7 and overall had a really fun experience. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and both the cocktails and no tails were great. The atmosphere and ambiance made the night feel special. The only downside was that the waitstaff mixed up our order a couple of times, but they were kind and did their best to fix it. Even with that, we still enjoyed the experience and would come back again.

  Lovely establishment. Poor service. Attempted to eat at the bar. My son ordered his food, I ordered my drink and then food. The server didn’t put out food orders in at the same time. 25 minutes after his food was served, mine did not come. Was told it was a few tickets behind and confirmed that she didn’t put orders in at the same time. Paid for my drink and son’s order and left.

  My fiancé took me out for my birthday. This is our second time dining with OKU and it only took one time to make this my favorite restaurant . We are greeted at the door and many employees started wishing me happy birthday. As we were seated, Anastasia our waitress introduced herself. She was a true professional the whole night. Answering all of our questions about the menu and she made some incredible recommendations. We were deciding between 2 of 3 appetizers. We had some Tuna and Yellowtail to start and we chose to leave the salmon appetizer out for this night, which I was kind of bummed about. 5 minutes later they bring my fiancé and I the salmon appetizer that we chose not to get this time and said happy birthday! That is true service and I don't know if she overheard us discussing the appetizer's but that gesture was spectacular. The entree's were fantastic and nothing short of amazing. However it was what happened at the end that made this night special, I was handed a hand wrapped gift and thought to myself. What could this possibly be? I open the gift and I see a box of PRO v1 golf balls. Anastasia looks at me and says, "we heard you like golf, happy birthday". This was positively the greatest customer service experience I have ever had. I am an avid golfer so this meant the world to me that they gave me a complimentary gift for my favorite hobby and that really touched my heart. This place is nothing short of heaven. OKU was already my favorite restaurant, however after my second time there, they have a customer for life. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

  Celebrated my birthday here last night and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From a personalized message on the menu to a keepsake gift that I can treasure forever, every detail was thoughtfully tailored for us. The food was incredible and the complimentary appetizer was a beautiful touch that made the night feel even more special! The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure our evening was memorable. This is hands down our new go-to spot for sushi in Charlotte! Highly recommend especially if you're looking for the perfect place to celebrate a birthday dinner ! Thank you so much O-Ku for everything! We'll definitely be back ☺️

  One of the most refined sushi experiences in South Charlotte. The quality of the fish is consistently high, and the menu balances traditional offerings with creative rolls that actually work. The ambiance is sleek and modern, making it ideal for a polished night out. Service is knowledgeable and well-paced, which elevates the entire experience. This is where you go when you want sushi that feels intentional—not rushed or generic.
