Friends and I were there for the wine pairing dinner. Everything was great. Good food and wine. This time it was a bit livelier than other times. Maybe it was due to the New Year and people were getting together. But always a nice time. Thank you!

The cuisine was delicious and flavorful. Our server Jessica was very pleasant and accommodating. Unfortunately my glass of Failla Pinot Noir was served directly from the refrigerator. But, it was corrected.

My partner and I decided to have date night here and had great experience! Our waiter, Paige, was exceptional! Friendly, attentive, and always ensuring our water glasses were filled and dirty dishes promptly cleared. The food was absolutely delicious and arrived quickly. Every dish we tried was fantastic; the standouts were the Maine lobster linguini, Zosui rice balls, ribeye, and cereal milk panna cotta. Definitely recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to return to try even more dishes!

Sat in the back lanai, which had a cozy intimate atmosphere. Food is always good here at O'Kims. Truffle Mandoo is a fave; stone bibimbap hit the right spot, especially with the purple rice substitution. The Oxtail Mandoo Kook Soo was also unique and delicious.
