" O-Ku has become my go-to sushi place in the city. The happy hour is unbeatable with delicious sushi at excellent prices. My favorites are the gyoza and Rock Shrimp. The place is always buzzing, making it a fun night out. Just a little tip: reserve ahead as it can get crowded! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews but left feeling slightly disappointed. The food was good but not exceptional. Service could have been better - we had to wait a long time before placing our order. The vibe in the restaurant was nice, very inviting and well decorated, but it was a bit too loud for my taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" Regular customer! I've been here several times and each visit has been wonderful. The ambiance is ideal for intimate dinners or catch-ups with friends. The quality of the food is consistent; I particularly love the omakase for its variety and freshness. Never had an unpleasant experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for a great sushi spot in town, look no further than O-Ku! The quality of the fish is unparalleled. I had the yellowtail and it melted in my mouth! The ambiance was chic, and they even played some great music in the background. Unfortunately, our server forgot one of our drinks, which took some time to get sorted out, but overall a lovely night! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall a delightful experience. While the portions were smaller than I expected, the flavors made up for it. The staff was warm and welcoming, and they really enhance the dining experience. I would recommend trying the omakase; it gives a good variety of the restaurant's offerings. I plan on returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Looking for delicious sushi? O-Ku is the place to go! The rolls are creative, and the spice levels are just right. The service was warm and inviting, and the atmosphere provides a nice backdrop for dinner. The only downside was the waiting time for our food, but it was worth it.
