    Ambience, environment and food/drinks were exceptional…but our service, more specifically, Sarah, was wonderful! Lovely dinner date with my wife of 22 years. We frequent O-Ku in Raleigh and we’re never disappointed. Sarah, Emily, and Nicole are all Service Rockstars.

    Excellent experience. Noted on reservation that it was our anniversary. Up to four different employees. Told us happy anniversary along with a dessert. Will be recommending to anyone who’s looking for a good sushi spot.

    The Curry noodles were delicious. However, I wish they used udon noodles instead of ramen. The salmon was perfect. The rolls were divine Lobster Temaki, Tuna Crudo as well as the White Spider Uramaki. I will definitely return and try more items.

    Food was very good, but it is so noisy that you can’t hear the person next to you. Every one is competing over the vocal noise.

    What an awesome place to eat! Food and service were amazing! Took my wife for her birthday, not only did the wait staff bring out a complimentary dessert, but the staff all signed a card for her, which we thought was a super sweet touch! Great restaurant, we would highly recommend!!
