    I recently had the pleasure of dining at O-Ku, and I can't stop thinking about the experience. The newly refreshed space is absolutely beautiful. The décor is modern yet cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the lighting to the seating, making it a delightful place to dine. Our server, Alysha (I hope I’ve spelled her name right!), truly made the experience unforgettable. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and kind throughout our meal. It's rare to come across someone so genuinely passionate about providing great service, and Alysha definitely went above and beyond. She made sure we were well taken care of without being overbearing, and her warm attitude made the evening even more special. We will definitely be back!!

    We were in Atlanta for a cheer competition and decided to give it a try! SO glad we did! The fried green tomatoes were tooooooo die for! We also had Caesar salads. One with grilled chicken and one with fried chicken. Absolutely delicious. There was plenty of cheese and dressing on each serving so we didn’t have to ask for anything else! Also, get the sweet tea! I probably consumed my body weight in sweet tea there. Fantastic. Additionally, our waitress was WONDERFUL. Kind, thoughtful, accommodating. We didn’t have to ask for refills a single time as she was so on top of everything! Wonderful wonderful wonderful experience! 10/10, highly recommend!

    It was our ten year anniversary so after ordering oysters (delicious!) and cocktails, we decided to order broiled lobster, which since they hadn’t updated the menu-they were not serving it. Okay, so we decided to go somewhere else. After explaining this to our amazing Server, O.D. He spoke to the Chef, Eddie. Eddie visited our table, apologized that the lobster was not available to be served the way we like, but he said that he would accommodate us and prepare it especially for us since it was our anniversary. He also served us a few complimentary dishes and a glass of champagne, too! The food was absolutely amazing, and we gave a generous tip to O.D in appreciation for going above and beyond. Chef’s kiss to Eddie and we will be returning.
