   From the time we walked in to the time we left everything was a 20-30 minute wait. Arrived on time for our reservation at 9:15 wasn’t sat until 9:35 manager stopped at our table once to apologize and assure we’d be taken care of (never seen him again after that). Got to our table was gifted two pieces of sashimi for waiting. Ordered two appetizers with server (who was nice but clearly too busy) those took about 20 min to come out after finishing those we ordered drinks those took 30/35 min to come out. We completely finished our cocktails before the two rolls we ordered 30 minutes ago came out. After our rolls I asked for the check and a special request (slice of cake with a candle for my best friend’s birthday) that unfortunately was another 20 minute wait. Wouldn’t come here for special occasions just quick dinning. Also understand that just because you make a reservation doesn’t mean you’ll be sat at the time of your reservation or even have a private table.

   Our server Mei Ling was absolutely phenomenal and made my father’s birthday experience a memorable one. Every time food was delivered, they would wish him a happy birthday. Food was spectacular, only serving the highest quality of fish for each dish. O-Ku will continue to be a place we go to whenever we visit Charlotte.

   Excellent service. Outstanding food. Music was not to our liking and was a bit too loud. Cold draft coming from the doors as our table was right in front. But, overall AMAZING!

   Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review, Stephanie! While we know the loud vibey tunes aren't everyone's jam, we are super glad to know you found the food and service to be so fantastic. Apologies on the draft as well, I know that can certainly detract from the overall experience. Anyway, thanks again for visiting us and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

    Sashimi and sparkles was extremely disappointing. It took an hour before it was served and the quality and presentation was underwhelming.
    

    O-Ku - CharlotteResponded on 14 December 2024

    Hey Tim - I am so sorry you found the specialty sashimi to be disappointing and sorrier yet to learn that there were delays in receiving your food. I can imagine the frustration you must be feeling after your visit, and I'd love an opportunity to make it up to you! If you're keen to give us another chance, I will personally book your next visit to ensure you receive the experience you deserve. Please feel welcome to reach out to me directly. At Your Service, Lauren Bachar General Manager
