Food was unbelievable. The atmosphere was amazing. Wasn’t a single thing that we ordered. That wasn’t absolutely fabulous. Sushi rice was extremely fresh which is sometimes not as common as what you would think at a high-end sushi establishment the fish absolutely top quality you would not mistake going here for sushi. Full Stop. I will go back over and over again.
Been here a couple times and had great experiences each time. The food is awesome and the staff are excellent as well. Last time we were amazed by the Duck Buns appetizer and can't wait to have them again. All the sushi we have had has been very good, the Mermaid and the Vegetable Tempura were the highlights of our most recent visit.
Had an amazing dine-in experience. Great ambience, great service with delicious food. Make sure to have reservation. Chefs special dishes are totally worth for money and sushi was top notch.
Absolutely amazing. Cannot recommend enough. The service was so incredible and VERY personal, made us feel extra special! I got lost trying to find it and the bartender came looking for me!! She found me and got me there! My dining partner has celiac and they took so much extra care for her. The drinks were delicious and the sushi incredible, as if the special attention wasn't already enough, they brought out a little sampler of salmon carpaccio that blew us away! There are great restaurants and there are ones that go far beyond that to offer a special experience, O-Ku is one of a kind.
This is like my 4 or 5th time coming to here. My food is always good. My drinks are always good! It can be upscale for date night or a comfy cozy place to just talk and eat. One of my favorite places. They changed the menu recently. My only words of advice are DO NOT get the pork belly. I sent it back!! Even now writing this review the thought of it makes me nauseous. It was sliced too thick, and overcooked which made it hard to chew and eat. Otherwise great experience! Try the Sonic Tonic and the upside down cake!! You won’t regret it!
We ordered the chefs special at the time which was crispy rice topped with tuna toro, Uni and caviar. It was so good and fresh. If this is available, I would definitely order this again. We also ordered the assorted nigiri combo. The waitress told us which pieces were which which was nice but I would've loved to know what was included on the menu before. The spider roll which was delicious. I don't have a picture of the fried rice but it was flavorful and a great takeaway to eat the next day. My favorite drink that I absolutely would go back for is the Curried Away. Its a curried Smirnoff with dark rum, house sour and Coco Lopez. It is soo smooth and a very unique taste.
It was my first time eating sushi and I loved it. I was a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Southend is notoriously bad for parking, so when I arrived and saw they had a parking lot I was pleasantly surprised. I started with the edamame and then had the mermaid rolls and split the teriyaki chicken plate with my date. I also like that they are open late. It says they close at 10 and they take reservations up until the 9:45 dinner start time. Although we came near close they didn’t rush us and when we left around 11 there were still a few other people there finishing up their meals. Our waitress Kayla was great. She was personable and took the time and effort to explain the menu to me since it was my first time there. I also loved that they had a gluten free menu!
I don't even know where to begin.. it started with making a reservation for my wife's birthday, then I wrote a message via Open Table.. they responded immediately and made my wife's birthday utterly an amazing experience! Justin, Sam & Anna were incredible from the greeting, to the seating to the food and the atmosphere.. The management and ownership are absolutely Top-notch!!! NEVER have I been to a restaurant that made eating there an exciting experience... My wife and I are overwhelmed with gratitude for the absolutely amazing attention to detail, creativity and kindness that we were shown for her birthday. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the O-Ku dining experience to everyone that loves great ambiance, delicious sushi and a wonderful staff... THIS IS THE PLACE!! BEST IN CHARLOTTE!!
Best authentic Japanese restaurant in town! Walking into the front door, feel like being at a family restaurant in Japan. Love the lunch combo, ramen, and other bowls. Fresh and authentic food!
They were very busy but the staff was incredibly kind and on point. You could never tell they were as busy as they were unless you really really payed attention and or have worked in the restaurant industry before. The food was, for lack of a more fi
Friend recommended this place so I have it a shot. Prices are reasonable and the gladiator roll was amazing. I canât remember the other I got, because the gladiator just blew me away. I was very satisfied with what I paid for the amount of food I r
I was a little bummed because they didn't have fried ice cream. However, the disappointment ended there... I had a volcano roll, vegetable medley, and sweet tea. Everything was incredible. My daughters had the chicken and pork dumplings, teriyaki chi
First time here, I couldn't believe how cool this place was in an unassuming Walmart shopping center. We went for lunch, but it wasn't too busy and we had a party of 8. We all got our food in a timely manner. The quality and presentation were very go

This is the best fitness place I have ever been to!! I never knew working out could be so fun. Itâs a great way to meet people in the area. All the instructors are awesome. They go out of their way to make the workouts fun.
Update: Still enjoying training here after 2+ years. What's not to like. I have been strength training for many years, at times doing much of my own programming. I have also done a lot of research in the science of correct movement, what it means, an
