    Had the best dinner!! Our server, Abigail, was absolutely the best. She was so attentive and so so accommodating to our whole party and especially one of our friends that has dietary restrictions. She knew the menu backwards and forwards, made great suggestions and even brought us something we didn’t order on the house! We will definitely be back and will request Abigail again!!

    The best service quality I have ever experienced!! Trey was an amazing waiter. The food quality was amazing and the staff was so nice and everything came out on time. Trey gave us high quality menu items to try and made me and my friends meal and dining experience amazing. We celebrated a birthday and Trey made sure our table felt extra special. The food and drink presentation was overall so amazing!!! Would highly recommend this place!! The ambience and customer service was the best I’ve ever had.

    O-Ku was just OK. Food continues to be very good. Service and kitchen coordination was frustratingly poor. Wanted to love it. Did not.

We strive to create a seamless dining experience, and it’s disappointing to hear we missed the mark. If you’re open to it, I’d love to learn more about your experience so we can improve. We appreciate your time and hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Best, Fatini Director of Operations, O-Ku

    We had a wonderful experience at O-Ku. Our server, Ivan’s suggestions were spot on! The Black Magic was amazing, definitely our favorite. Also the Wagyu Sizzle really impressed our table-a little goes a long way. I agree there was a little confusion with the kitchens, but it didn’t really detract from the experience. Ivan came and chatted and we had a great time. Will return. 100 percent.

    The food was great. We had great service. The main problem we had was where we were seated. It appears that the restaurant seats parties with kids outside on the patio. That would have been ok, but it was a cool, windy day. We tolerated it for about 75% of our meal, but eventually got too cold and asked to be re-seated. They found a spot for us at the sushi bar, which worked ok for the rest of our meal. But when looking around the restaurant, we observed that there were no kids inside, and almost every table outside had kids. I wouldn't take my kids back, and wish I would have known kids weren't as welcome before making a reservation. If it would have been just my wife and I... 5 stars all the way.

    Some of the freshest food we have ever experienced. The prices were just to high. Including gratuity $300.00 for two people. WOW!
