4 stars only because omakase wasn't an available option even when reserved days in advance, but honestly the food was great and the sake options plentiful.

The prices are a little high, but you can enjoy a variety of creative dishes.The food was delicious and worth the price. ?Dietary restrictions: The waitress will confirm with you in advance, and it will also be written on the menu.Parking: You can also park on the street for a fee, and there are plenty of them nearby.

walked in on a Saturday night for dessert, It was quite crowded and we had to wait a while on the bar, once we ordered the dessert it was ready in within 10 minutes. The texture of the meringue was wonderful, however, it lacked the sharp flavor of yuzu. Will probably come back to try their food, reservations are recommended.

Went there for my anniversary was blown away with how wonderful the service was. Everyone was so nice and they gave us a card for our anniversary! The food was great as well. You can trust the recommendations of the staff. Everything we had was fresh and flavorful. 10/10 recommend for others.

Xavier made one of the best rolls of sushi I’ve ever tasted in my life. Give him a raise!

The food was amazing as always, but they made the night extra special with their extra touches! We were celebrating my son’s 16th bday and getting his license…and the special dessert they made included a custom chocolate in the shape of a drivers license, as well as a personalized card for him. It was unexpected, which made it all the more special! Thank you for a great spontaneous night out!

The food was great but I had a terrible experience here with the staff/management. I work in the customer service and food industry and this was the worst experience. The manager/staff was a female and instead of her being professional she cursed at me. Honestly I don’t care who she was I just wouldn’t recommend this place and I would never go back.

I’ve been to this place many times; the food is exceptional. My sister who was visiting at the time can attest that the nigiri is as good as what she can get in Japan, but honestly I haven’t been compelled to leave a review until I celebrated my partner’s birthday there. I won’t spoil it for anyone who wants to celebrate with O-ku, but it was very special: we’ve dined at Michelin star restaurants where the service is not nearly as memorable.

Absolutely delicious food everything we come. This ha easily become one of our favorite date night spots. I highly recommend the lemon and salmon and the angry salmon roles with edamame to start!

We were traveling from out of state and were in search of the best sushi restaurant in town and definitely found it. The sushi was amazing! Beautiful restaurant, excellent service and one of the best sushi dinners we have had. We will definitely return when in town!

I really enjoyed my experience. My server was very kind and her service was impeccable. I did notice the manager was stopping by tables and greeting people but made it a point to not speak to me and my guest. Not sure what that was about but it was obvious. Not sure I will go again.

Our server Austin was so wonderful and knowledgeable. We went for our anniversary and got to take advantage of the happy hour menu - highly recommend the shrimp and the dumpling appetizers. The scallops were fantastic and and the Gyuniku were so good. Highly recommend both!

This is the first place I ever tried sushi with my boyfriend. A year later and we celebrated our one year here. Such a great place. Every single waiter/waitress we have had here the past year has been nothing but nice, cool, and gives great recommendations for the menu. The general manager here is friendly. The assistant manager, Erica, is nice. Nicole, would be one of our favorite waitresses here. Can't go wrong at O-Ku!
