- ZZoeVIPSouth Carolina •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had the best time at oku charleston for dinner. Our server, Ella, was kind and informative when we had menu questions. We tried the akami crudo for the first time and it was SO GOOD. The flavors all blended well together, but the the star of the dish was the tuna. The manager, Esther, came to our table to chat, she was lovely and very passionate about the restaurant. Oku is consistent with both food and service, we will definitely be back!More infoO-KuPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Downtown Charleston•4.9
