O-Ku, a Japanese restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina, is a triumph of execution and concept. The restaurant's menu is a modern take on traditional Japanese cuisine, and it features fresh, seasonal ingredients that are prepared with care. The dishes are beautifully presented, and the flavors are both complex and delicate. Focused on incorporating authentically Japanese flavors into the fare, O-Ku’s menu is comprised of signature contemporary Japanese entrées and traditional sushi of the season reflecting the uniquely designed space. Guests can enjoy chef specialties including kurobuta pulled pork don-buri, braised short rib with shiso pesto, coconut curry, and hakozushi a box-style sushi. A wide variety of nigiri, sashimi and crudos are also available. The beverage program at O-Ku is a sophisticated blend of specialty cocktails, premium sake, bubbles, red and white wines and unique beer selections.

Our visit at O-Ku made us feel like royalty!!! We sat the bar and were served by Bridgette, Caitlyn, and Ally, who were well informed with our choice of apps. and kept our drinks topped off all night. We decided to do a handful of appetizers which were AMAZING!!! O-Ku will definitely be at the top of our list on our next visit to Charleston!!!! We also thanked Robert, the manager, for running a AWESOME staff.
Kudos ��

1.) This is the best sushi in Charleston but that doesn't say much because there aren't many places to choose from.

2.) Worst service ever! We made reservations for a party of 12 at 8 pm. There was another party of 12 there that didn't have reservations. I think they thought that party was our party...so we had to wait 40 mins to get a table that we had reservations for.

At the end of our meal, out of everyone at the table, my check had a 20% gratuity added and no one else had that added. I asked the server about it and she said that was "normal". Well, if it was so normal, then why wasn't it on everyone else's??

I would not recommend O-ku, nor will I be going back because of the horrible service. Even though the sushi is good, it's not worth it.
