    Based on reviews, we were expecting a different experience. While the service is exceptionally great, the food is just ok. I had the crispy duck and it was very tough, chewy, and tasteless. The different rolls we ordered were fresh and well made yet they didn’t have the taste and umph; they were bland. The sea bass was good but lacked umph as well and was very expensive. Dessert was boring. The restaurant is overpriced as compared to other similar ones in the area. Lastly, the acoustics are bad making this place uncomfortably loud on a busy night; it was nearly impossible to hear the server or have a conversation among ourselves and the decibel levels on my app were constantly on the red zone.

    Oku was an exceptional dining experience. From our first interaction with Eric to the excellent service provided by our server Mario to the fabulous presentation of the food. The menu options included variations to satisfy my sister’s food sensitivities. The ambience was nicely done ! It was a great pleasure to dine there and we will do so again !!

    The food seemed overly seasoned which sometimes can cover for lower quality seafood. Overall, pricey for what we got but very nice ambiance.

    The ambiance, service, and food quality were amazing. We always enjoy everything when we come here. We brought the kids that are somewhat picky and they also loved it.
