Incredibly tasty dinner, our favourite dishes are the Uni and Tuna sashimi and the Salmon uzizukuri, the rock shrimp and the chicken yakatori! The lobster on the grill is also a major treat.

Recommend the Surf & Turf roll and Harvest Roll. Our waiter Zak went above and beyond. Clean and great ambiance. The cocktails didn’t seem to have any alcohol in them but I did appreciate the lemon/lime/cucumber water options.

Nice atmosphere with good ambience and music with the ability to carry on conversations at thr sushi bar. Omakase included more of a tasting menu inclusive of both sushi/sashimi and non-fish items, but enjoyed the variety and creativity.

I was really looking forward to trying O-Ku in Union Market, but the experience fell short. The sushi rice was extremely hard and crunchy, almost like it had been sitting in the refrigerator overnight, which completely threw off the texture and flavor of the rolls. For a place with O-Ku’s reputation and price point, I expected much fresher, properly prepared rice. Hoping this was just an off night, but it definitely impacted the overall meal.

I went here late on a Tuesday when i was craving sushi and it did not disappoint. I got the yellowtail and sashimi and another roll that was like a crunchy tempura. I can’t remember the name I think it has fried salmon anywho it was DELICIOUS! It may have been the firecracker roll. Theyre drinks are pretty good too. Would recommend coming later in the evening when parking is better to grab
Peter was our waiter. He was absolutely fantastic! The food was quick and incredible quality. It may be pricey, but if you can afford it, totally worth it!

What an experience. Excellent food and an even more exceptional service. Best service I've ever had. Omakase is to die for. Ambiance was excellent. A little loud but I've found that is a subjective observation, might not be loud for others. Will definitely be coming back AGAIN, THE SERVICE 1000/10
We had a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary at O-ku. They went out of their way to make it a special night. Food was very good and portions generous. Caleb (our server) was warm and friendly and took great care of us. Drinks, apps, signature nigiri, grilled meats all great. I'm gluten-free and there were plenty of great options.

Had an amazing dinner! Amazing service. Everyone there pays attention to detail. I was welcomed with a bouquet of flowers and a Happy Birthday sign at the table. Our server was very informative about the menu and made wonderful suggestions. After dinner he brought out a birthday dessert and champagne to celebrate. I definitely will be back next time I'm in DC.

Really nice place, great service. Found the food to be overly sweet and that theme translated to the cocktails as well. The sushi dishes were outstanding—I'd pass on anything else though.
