    We arrived for our reservation and were not seated at our table for 30 minutes and then we sat without service for another 25 minutes. The waiter forgot to bring things we requested twice. They seemed very overwhelmed. Unprompted, the host told us he was going to comp our appetizers due to the long wait. The bill came and there was no discount - had to mention it - they did remove the 2 cheapest items. We had been to O-Ku several times in addition to poor service, the food seemed to lack the quality it had in the past. Will not go back.

    Hi Whitney, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with us. That’s not the kind of service we ever want to give, especially to someone who’s supported O-Ku in the past. I understand how frustrating it must have been to wait that long and then not have things go smoothly once you were seated — and I’m especially sorry for the confusion around your bill. We’re taking your feedback seriously and having conversations with the team to make sure this doesn’t happen again. I really appreciate you being honest — it gives us a chance to do better. If you’re open to it, I’d love to invite you back so we can give you the experience you should’ve had the first time. We are reaching out to you. Fatini Jiap Director of Operations, O-ku

    I love O-Ku! Went for lunch service and an early dinner this weekend. From the service to the food and cocktail selections, O-Ku wins. There is an outside dining option that is wonderful. It is covered and there is a lovely city view. I highly suggest the rock shrimp tempura, Mt. Fuji and Over the Rainbow roll. For cocktails, I had the Saint Miyako and Sugar + Spice. Looking to return very soon.

    Excellent meal. We had a party of 5 with a baby and had the best experience. Everything we ordered arrived fresh and delicious. Highlights were the Gyozu and The Marbled Forest—favorite cocktail: The Emperor's Cup. The service was amazing. Everyone had a great meal and a great time.

    As always amazing food and service. There is always something new and off menu to try. It is loud, noticed this more this visit, had to have conversation and couldn’t hear the music. Also, very very cold. Dress with this in mind. Even my husband was cold and that never happens, ever… Food and presentation consistently impress. Also the gluten free options are fantastic. As someone with celiac it is a pleasure to eat out safely.

    Everything at Oku was very nice. The food was phenomenal. The rooftop bar was very quiet and it was very funny when everyone was scrambling to try to cover everything when it started to rain and moving people inwards so that way they wouldn’t get drenched. I really have no complaints.

    We absolutely loved it! My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary last night and we had a great time. The service was everything, shoutout to our server Elena, she was the best!!! I cannot even describe how nice she was to us and im grateful for that because is not that common. I have a very severe gluten allergy and she was very accomodating about that at all times. She made suggestions to us bc this was our first time here, we even got a little compliment dessert for our anniversary. It was amazing, by far one of our best experiences dining in ATL. They have a gluten free menu which is also great, the drinks are amazing and the food is great! We loved the sushi and even the salad is amazing. Totally recommend, do yourself a favor and visit this place.

    10+ out of 10! Joe greeted us at the entrance warmly and Caperton’s recommendations and service were impeccable. We even got a follow up call the next week to check in on our experience. WOW! We were celebrating three June birthdays and the team at O-Ku Atlanta made it very memorable. Food was fresh, tasty and delectable. Loved the cocktails. We will be back. Thank for an overall great experience.
