Great sushi spot in Germantown. We had the Omakase with a sake pairing. So good! Best piece of salmon I have had in a while! And all the courses were excellent in taste and presentation. All the dishes were presented beautifully and well described as were the sake pairings. High ceilings created some fall down noise but not terrible. Recommended!

Having moved here from Miami, we've always been a little skeptical about eating sushi in Nashville.... But, O-Ku cured us of that fear. Silky, delicious, expertly presented... Our server, Raven, was absolutely amazing.... Excellent experience!

Food and waiter were amazing. Don't bother making a reservation, we had to wait almost an hour passed the time we had reserved for a table.

Absolutely amazing place, probably the best sushi I’ve ever ever been to. We had a mistake with our order but the manager handled it perfectly. The sushi was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the bok choy

Amazing experience!! Everything about the night was perfect. Very attentive as we were celebrating a birthday, made it so special and the food was delicious. Will be returning again and again. This restaurant does it right.

We celebrated our two year anniversary at O-Ku and the staff made us feel so special. Our table had customized menus and flower petals on it upon our arrival. As always, the food was tremendous and our server's recommendations made our experience even better.

This place is top notch! It has all of the things, great and small! Our seaweed salads served on a chilled plates, a server that has personality, but not over the top. A server that is attentive, but not overly attentive or being bombarded by multiple staff (ex.asking me if I want another drink as you refill my water, right after my server already checked in - happened at another place and our conversation kept getting interrupted). But at O-ku, the staff were working as a well oiled machine, waters consistently filled, checking on us after our first couple bites of each course but then giving us space and time to enjoy it, also allowing us to relax at the end while we finished our drinks and not rushing us out the door. Had the food been just ok, I would still give 5 stars just because of our overall experience, but even that part was as equally amazing. My favorite dining experience in Germantown so far!

We went to O-Ku for the first time to celebrate a birthday, & they really pulled out all the stops to make it a delicious & special evening. We did the chef's tasting, & everything was excellent & high quality. We'll be back!

Best Sushi I've ever had! I went with 9 other women last weekend and this place was so special. It has a great atmosphere, amazing staff, and spectacular food! They even made it extra special for my sister's birthday by printing a birthday message on the menu and giving her a special gift. Amazing customer service from everyone there! Thank you for such an awesome time!

One of the best dinner experiences ever! We celebrated a friend's birthday last night. The restaurant sent a message asking for any special details about the person. I told them the person was from Las Vegas, liked bourbon, and was turning 50 years old. When we arrived at the restaurant the next day, they created special menus with the person's name, including photos from Las Vegas in the background for all of the guests. They also gave him a free flight of bourbon for his birthday in addition to a nice dessert. The manager checked on us all night, and it was one of the best birthday dinners he has ever experienced. I cannot say enough about their hospitality and professionalism. I will definitely support O-Ku in the future.

Favorite Sushibin Town, a gem in the heart of a Germantown. Once you have discovered it, you would just go go back time after time. Titans roll, Black Magic, Truffle Edamame, among a few of the amazing must try.

We were a group of 6 that came for a special occasion. The food and service were outstanding. Additional staff was attentive to our needs as well. The atmosphere is very nice. Would be a great date night spot. We really enjoyed our experience. Only suggestion I would present for consideration is the lighting is very dim making it difficult to read menu.

The food was amazing! They were able to make most things gluten free including the tempura shrimp. The Hamachi was melt in your mouth delicious. The only complaint I have if there is one to be had, was the noise level. It was so loud you could hardly talk to the person at your own table.
