Customer Reviews
Wonderful Food! We came for the tasting menu so we could try a variety of their dishes. O-Ku served exceptional fresh sashimi. The Usuzukuri is a great salmon choice. The Godzilla Roll had so many great flavours. Make room for dessert - the Matcha Pudding was a standout. Thank you to Jake for the great service.
We visited Charleston and had our first meal at O-Ku. The service was great and the ambiance was really nice. We ordered the Sake Mixer, which was enjoyable. For food, we tried the bao bun — it tasted okay, but it would have been better if it were warmer. The crispy rice with salmon was very nice, and the Playboy sushi roll was also good.
We had a great experience at O-Ku. The food was creative and fresh, and the service was superb and attentive. We ordered several dishes, including the Salmon Lemon, Tuna Tataki, and the Playboy roll. We also tried the Yellowtail Ceviche, Scallop Crudo, spring rolls, and dumplings. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-tier sushi in Charleston.
I wasn't expecting anything special on my visit to Charleston. My friends wanting Sushi there made me question their sanity. Boy was I surprised. The Sushi was better than what I experienced in NY, Chicago, Honolulu, São Paulo... The Buns were also some of the best I've had anywhere. If you're in town, this is a DEFINITE win for you. My mouth is watering thinking about my meal. (Definitely try the lemon Salmon roll ... OMG!) The staff was great, the ambiance of the place is a cozy feel in a big space. Very sexy and modern. Just go! Trust me you'll love it.
Did not appreciate the treatment when we came here. The sushi was okay overall, but when the restaurant is not crowded, and you’re seated in the very back as a brown person, it definitely sends a message. Will not patronize this restaurant again. Should have left after we were seated.
