O-Ku - Nashville

Our server, Wesley, was wonderful. The Chef put a nice personal touch on our evening by interacting with us and speaking to us about different dishes he has coming up. Overall, amazing experience. Will definitely be back.

We went here on a Monday for their happy hour (half priced rolls). The rolls were INCREDIBLE as were the drinks. The one issue was that the kitchen was behind and never put out one of our rolls and we eventually just cancelled it. Our waiter was amazing though and he even comped one of our rounds of drinks due to the slow service (which was not his fault). We will definitely be back!

Far too loud, I was shouting at my date the entire time. 6 rolls of sushi took more than 2 hours to all come out. Quality and taste was low considering price.

We had the most wonderful and pleasant server, Ally, and although things like the Sake we wanted was out, she made it one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we've ever had! 5 stats for sure!!

Great Service was excellent. Limited pArking.

Amazing, some of the best sushi I have ever had and I travel the world.

Everything was outstanding. Sonwas our server! Will be back!!

The service and food are beyond perfect. The staff went out of their way to explain everything on the menu. The food was delicious and so flavorful.

We had been recommended to O-Ku by friends and you all did not disappoint. Food was excellent and Christine was an excellent server

Fun place overall!

Everything was wonderful. Best Sushi in town hands down. I bit too loud but otherwise fantastic.

Our waiter was fantastic and the food was amazing. Very fresh sushi and fun vibe!

The food was good for sushi in Nashville. My husband and I spend close to $300 for the two of us. We had a $40 bottle of sake. Not sure it was worth $300.

Best sushi in Nashville! We are the Omakase (chefs choice) for $100 each. It was a 7 course tasting menu! Super delicious and a good way to try a bit of everything. We also got a roll that was very delicious.

Ambiance was beautiful, the overall vibe was great. Food was amazing, they did have a flaw on the alcohol menu. They had the Nigora Sake listed at 24oz for $48 and the actual bottle is 12oz and same price., which I believe shouldn’t be that price., comparing market value.

However, definitely try this place.. if not definitely for the experience and food was amazing, true sushi enthusiasts will agree.

Best sushi I have had in Nashville. For only being open a few weeks, i was surprised at how well run it was.

Our waiter was wonderful and helped us find some amazing menu options! The choices were all excellent and we will be back!

Very unique atmosphere and menu. If menus often bore you with the usual suspects, this menu will not disappoint! Delicious and executed well. Enjoy your dinner!

Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food was great, really enjoyed every bite and moment. After living in ATL and Miami I was definitely missing a good Japanese place. And I think I don’t have to look for one anymore.

Phenomenal meal! Every dish was delicious. Wonderful ambiance for a fun night out.

Our server had no personality, and wasn't knowledgable. maybe his first service job. Food: was disappointing.

Really great service. Food was amazing.

Went for the first time this past week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our group ordered probably 15 items from the menu as share plates and 14/15 were thoroughly enjoyed. The cocktails were similarly on point and the infused pepper ice was a creative way to change the flavor of a cocktail as the ice melted. The service could not have been improved as they showed just the right amount of attentiveness.

Sushi and rolls were awful. Fusion Japanese but not a good one. Average quality of fish but expensive. I’m from Japan and I won’t go back to this restaurant.

We left still hungry and our bill was over $100. For the price, I would prefer to have my money go a little further and not still be hungry.

We had a very enjoyable evening at O-Ku and are excited to return. Food was outstanding. Our server was sometimes long-delayed in checking in on us, but at least a 2nd person, who seemed to likely be in a manager status, was checking in as well and filling in the gaps. All in all, it was terrific and we are excited it is in our neighborhood and will return soon.

Cool new spot in Germantown. Well overdue sushi joint. Everyone was very friendly. Morgan was a knowledgeable server. All the nigiri is wonderful and fresh.

We had a great anniversary dinner. The taco appetizer was great and so were the cocktails. Playboy Roll was delicious, too!

Awesome food and service! Our new favorite sushi joint!

I don’t normally rave about new places but O-Ku has it all! Beautiful space and ambiance, great food and wonderful service! You will feel welcome from the moment you enter and leave happy! If you haven’t been to O-Ku yet, you have to go!

I've been eating traditional sushi since I was a child (I'm Japanese) and I'm always looking for new asian places in Nash to eat. With the pretty ambience and such a high price tag, I had high expectations walking in. Sadly, I can't say I felt the sushi itself was worth it. I always eat nigiri and I expected for the fish to just melt in your mouth since each plate was around $7-8. Instead, it tasted average. Nothing special. Also, the rice was undercooked, hard in texture, and clearly difficult to create sushi rice with since the consistency is lacking in stickiness. Needless to say, although I was able to keep most of my sushi in place, my friend that came with had her sushi fall apart almost every time she picked up a piece. We both decided to leave after eating our plates, not really feeling the rest of the expensive menu was worth our money. I would come back to possibly attempt other more complex items on the menu, but be assured this isn't a spot for supreme, melt-in-your-mouth sushi.

Superb meal knowledgeable server. The space is calm & beautiful. The host staff is friendly and welcoming. The GM even came to our table to introduce herself and ask about our experience. Well done!

The portion sizes are smaller than comparable sushi restaurants in Nashville.
In addition, the rolls could be rolled a bit tighter as they fell apart when trying to pick up with chopsticks. Love the atmosphere!

Food was very good but still working out some of the timing kinks! Prices were expensive for the amount of food.

Me and my girlfriend ate there on the second night they were open, kinda went all out, ordered a lot of different menu items. Was it pricey? Yes. Did we get what we paid for? Yes. Everything at O-Ku was absolutely phenomenal. Service was spot on, and environment was laid back but nice, not too pretentious. We are so glad to have a quality sushi joint in Germantown. Highly recommend.

We loved Oku!! Enjoyed dining this space with my love! Only complaint we can even come up with is the turn around time ...but realize it’s a brand new establishment and likely still getting a grove going. Rolls are amazing.

Best sushi spot in Nashville, offering an array of high-end items that were all the best I've had in the local market. Pricing is high, but this is a case where you get exactly what you pay for, which is outrageously good, fresh seafood. On their second night of being open they nailed every aspect of our meal, from food and drink suggestions, to presentation, to timing, and especially on quality and taste. I'll be back very soon and have already told all my friends.

Best sushi I’ve had in Nashville. They were great about subtly acknowledging my husband’s birthday. Easy parking in Germantown!

No. The menu is too extensive, and the food was not good.

Fancy shmancy. Great for a date. Delicious dishes. Superfluous service.
