The food was outstanding! We started with the dumplings, and the meal just kept getting better from there. The sushi rolls were fresh and perfectly prepared, with the Emperor roll being the best. We shared the hanger steak, which was melt-in-your-mouth tender and delicious. We usually skip dessert, but we decided to try some this time, and it may have been the highlight of the meal. Be sure to save room for the Mont Blanc Cake or the Namelaka. Last but not least, Sara was fantastic—attentive, helpful, and friendly!

Absolute perfection! We went to celebrate our daughter's 19th. We drove from Greensboro, picked her up at UNC and went to Raleigh. She has celiac disease and everyone went above and beyond to keep her safe. It was an absolutely phenomenal experience. Worth the drive 1000%!

As always, the food & service were superb. I had notified the restaurant that it was my brother Richard's birthday & several employees acknowledged that AND he got a free dessert!

A all around great experience, the menu is diversified and the food is well worth the money spent. From the hostess, to the wait staff, to the kitchen crew everyone works together for the common goal of providing a quality dining experience. Great job guys and credit to Sam for taking good care of us!
Hope

We enjoyed our experience at O-Ku Raleigh. Definitely would recommend for a special occasion, they go above and beyond to make the guest of honor feel special. The $30-50 is a little low in my opinion, I would say more in the $$$ range since a lot of the $$ are small plates and you need a few. The atmosphere was great and we will be back!

My friends and I had an amazing experience. The service was phenomenal and the food was delicious.

We visited O-Ku for my daughter's 22nd birthday. We reserved a table for early Sunday evening at 5 pm. The greeter at the door was friendly and showed us to our table quickly. Our server, Gerri, was extremely helpful. He went over the entire menu with us and explained what each section offered. He made some excellent suggestions for each course, and we loved them. Gerri checked in with the birthday girl and made sure her experience was going well throughout the meal. He even brought out a complimentary ice cream dessert. We enjoyed 3 courses and all of them were delicious!

Reminded me of dining in NYC. The staff was well educated on the menu and made excellent recommendations. They even came by and pushed in the chair and refolded the napkin when my partner left to use the restroom. Food was delicious but small portions and drinks are pricy. $25 for a Manhattan and $17 for one piece of nigiri. But they did give us a complimentary birthday dessert! Beautiful establishment and they played great music the entire time. I will be back!

Our dining experience was amazing! Our server, Itcel, and the whole staff were so friendly. They put in a whole lot extra time and effort just for me and my family, like personalized menus and special treats. Forever grateful 10/10 yay!
Walked in last Friday, I wanted a table and I had to be put on a waitlist which was fine, the host took my name and number and said 20-40 mins which I was 100% okay with, I walked outside to wait for the call and hours and hours passed by and I never got a call, went to Morgan food hall across the street, got food and I STILL never got a call… extremely unprofessional. horrible customer service, I was a constant customer but I’ll def be taking my business elsewhere. Please do better.
