    Great ambience and service. The food at Oku is good, but not great and definitely over priced. If you are a sushi snob set lower expectations for the sushi. Drinks are good!

    This was our first time and our server, William, was the best. He explained the menu perfectly and gave great recommendations. We tried some new things per his recommendations. He chatted with us and this created such a great experience. He seems like a nice person and has great service. The food was absolutely amazing. Hats off to the chef. Definitely check it out for a great dining experience!

    Food came out at different times for our group. One person received food 20 minutes before the next person. After the 2nd person received theirs, it was 15 minutes before the 3rd person's food arrived. Food was good, noise level was extreme.

    Great food and ambience in a much needed sushi restaurant in the area. Our server, Lee, was top notch and made the experience even better. We will definitely go back.
