    This was some of the best sushi my family and I have ever had. And we eat a lot of sushi. The service was amazing, Sam was very helpful in providing personal recommendations. Sake flight was delicious. Truly, out of all the restaurants we’ve been to, I don’t have a single complaint from o-ku. Definitely worth the trip

    We have lived in Charleston for 24 years and this is our first visit to this restaurant. It was one of the best meals we’ve had in the city. Delicious food, both French and American and a great place to eat. We were right next-door to the music venue we were going to. The service was superb. I recommend those who have just come to Charleston and who might have been here a while, but not gone yet to try this place out. You will not be disappointed.

    We were greeted by the hostess and seated promptly. Our server was great. She recognized that we were relaxed and adapted to our dining pace. The meals were delicious. One of the best presentations and flavor combinations was the seared tuna. An excellent dining experience.

    Late afternoon reservation to be able to attend a downtown concert. Sparce crowd but it was expected for a weekday. Service was fabulous and the food was even better. Our first time dining there but will not be the last. You will not go wrong with the filet, and, by the way, the mashed potatoes were fabulous.
