  **Google review style:** Had a wonderful experience here! The food was delicious, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The sushi bar seemed very popular, which is always a good sign. We ordered the Black Magic and Usuzukuri to begin, and both dishes were excellent with great flavor and generous servings. Everything was fresh and well prepared. I enjoyed the overall experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant for a great sushi meal.

  Jennifer and the team at O-Ku Nashville made my wife's birthday celebration truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was outstanding. Our favorite rolls were the Crispy Tempura Roll and the Shogun Roll—both were packed with flavor and showcased the freshness and creativity that O-Ku is known for. Miles, our server, was exceptional. He knew the menu inside and out, offered excellent recommendations, and struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space to enjoy our evening. His friendly, down-to-earth personality made the experience even better.Combined with O-Ku's beautiful atmosphere, this was easily the best dining experience we've had in Nashville so far. Thank you to Jennifer, Miles, and the entire team for making our celebration so special. We can't wait to return.

  Our server Taylor was so refreshing! He’s amazing and I want him every time I come! The food and drinks were so good, definitely the best sushi I’ve had so far. The lady who greeted us was very pleasant as well! I’d definitely recommend to others and I’ll be back for sure!

  Went here for my 30th birthday with friends. I had an incredible experience. They went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable. Favorite things were the Crispy Rice and Rock Shrimp. Can’t wait to go back!

  Leaving this as an honest review as a repeat customer and as someone who wants this restaurant to get back to what it was 2 years ago. We had a 6:15 reservation for our 1 year anniversary and waited 40 minutes to get sat. During which, no apology was given at all by the hostess and they acted like everything was normal. When we got sat the service was slow and the waitress mentioned several times the bar and cooks were backed up. Unfortunately this is not an isolated experience. We eat at Oku 6-8 times a year and the last 3 times we have ate here we had this exact same experience of service being extremely slow. What made this experience especially bad is there was a table next to us that got sat only 5 minutes after us with a later reservation who got their drinks quicker than we did and they got both their appetizers and dessert compensated, whereas we only got excessive apologies by our waitress. We spent $300 and have been loyal customers but unfortunately this is probably our last experience at Oku after 3 times with terrible and delayed service.
