I cannot remember the lady manager working on 12/23 at 4:30, but absolutely amazing. She was exceptional and very attentive to the patrons of the restaurant. Inessa and the server assistant were phenomenal. It was my first time visiting but I will definitely be back because their customer service was excellent!!!

Once again had the most fabulous experience at Oku. We have celebrated all our big events here, engagement, anniversaries and now my husbands 30th birthday where they went above and beyond making our experience out of this world. I’m so thankful for all the memories we’ve shared here, which is why we come back from Ohio every single year to enjoy their amazing hospitality and food. Thank you to Trey and all of the amazing team!

The grilled shrimp was delicious, and we highly recommend it. The salmon was well-seasoned and cooked, but the quality of the fish was low. The kale salad with shrimp was delicious, and the broccolini will make you want to order seconds. The service was excellent, and everyone was very kind. Although it was busy, our waiter could have been more attentive; on lighter days, this might not have been the case. Overall, we recommend eating here. The experience cannot be beaten, regardless.
