| - O-Ku is such a great sushi spot, especially for date night. My husband and I walked in on a Friday night and were able to grab 2 seats at the bar, there were tables open as well, though. The bartenders were incredibly friendly and helpful. I went with the bourbon basil berry lemonade and he got the shogun. Both drinks were delicious. I also feel like they're great cocktails for only $11 each.
We started with the dumpling dim sum, and it was a nice size to share. The flavor of the dumplings was great, especially the shrimp ones. We had a bunch of pieces of nigiri along with the negitoro roll and the potato roll. The nigiri was so fresh and delicious. We recently went to Japan and I was on a bit of a salmon nigiri bender while there, and the one at O-Ku took me back it was so good. The negitoro was also great, I wish it had just a little more tuna, but it was still worth it. The potato roll is more of a treat, it's a little heavy so it's nice to share, but the potato outside was crispy and awesome. The service throughout our meal was excellent and we had such a nice time. The ambience here is also dark and romantic, a nice place to relax with a drink. This will definitely be a regular sushi spot for us!
