Excellent value and food quality. Generous portions. Never had a bad server and this is the place to go for celebrations - special treatment for birthdays and anniversaries!

Our experience at O-Ku was excellent! All of the food tasted fresh and had a lot of flavor. The staff from start to finish were very welcoming, attentive, and accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone. We look forward to coming back soon!

We had a wonderful dining experience. Our friends were celebrating their anniversary. The restaurant made it extra special for them. What a nice touch for many of the staff to come over and say happy anniversary. We had brought our friends and it was their first time.

The staff from the hostess, server and manager were fantastic. It was my husband's birthday and they went the extra mile to make it special!

Every customer deserves respect and fair treatment, regardless of nationality, race, or culture. Recently, I noticed concerning practices during my visit. My waitress handled my takeaway food with bare hands without washing them, raising hygiene concerns. I also felt pressured to order a dish I didn’t request, which undermines customer preferences. A positive dining experience relies on honoring those choices. Unfortunately, my experience fell short in both food quality and service, prompting concerns about inclusivity. Restaurants in South Carolina should strive to create an environment where all customers feel welcome, valued and most importantly inclusive.

Top notch sushi. This place is now on my top 5 list in CLT. Actually it is #2. Service #1. Value #3 (it’s expensive but still a good value, just not a smokin’ deal). Sushi #2 (would like a larger menu. Quality top notch) Atmosphere #1. Well done! I will be back.

I booked a reservation for my best friend‘s bachelorette weekend and it was a 10/10 experience! Not only worthy food and drinks amazing, the staff was absolutely incredible. They were very attentive, answered our questions and even decorated our table with “bride to be” goodies! This team really went all out for us, and it was greatly appreciated by each of us! Thank you so much!
We had a wonderful time at O-Ku. The food was a little slow, but delicious so we didn't mind.

Went to O-Ku for the first time and had an amazing experience. Our server Angel was truly an angel and made the experience 10/10. The food was delicious and fresh. Definitely try the Green Eggs + Hamachi, Waygu Nigiri, and Lobster Fried Rice.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary here and OMG we have been sleeping on this place! What an outstanding experience from beginning to end. The staff was very friendly and our server, Mehling was very attentive as well as thoughtful with some anniversary gestures. Even the GM was personable with us. You can tell they had their systems down as you watched the staff calmly move around the restaurant. We are still talking about the food days later, drool!! Now it did take a good bit to receive our meal since they were packed out but being in that atmosphere we really didn’t mind. Can’t wait to come back.

I’m obsessed, idk why I’ve never left a review but here it is. Oku hands down has the freshest sushi in Charlotte. The quality speaks for itself. The food is always amazing as well as the customer service. I normally sit at the bar when I dine here and the bartenders are all amazing. My only complaint (more of a plea) is that they took away the south end shrimp. Hopefully that’s not a permanent menu change, I’m crossing my fingers. Otherwise 10’s across the board!
