O-Ku - Nashville

Mariah is an amazing server and this place is always the best. Looking forward to my next visit soon!

Absolutely amazing service and food. Everything taste so fresh and it was so much fun trying new things on the menu. Highly recommend!

By far the Best Sushi in a Nashville !!

20/10 would recommend this place! Food was amazing, (Nashvegas roll and crispy pork belly bowl), and bartenders were super attentive. Will definitely be back.

As others have stated in past reviews, this is definitely the sushi place Nashville has been waiting for. From the ambience to the food and cocktails, I can tell that a lot of thought and love goes into every item. Seriously the freshest fish I have had in a long time as well. I am now a life long fan and can't wait until I go back! Absolutely fantastic!!!

The food and service are always incredible!

Amazing service and attention to detail. Shared in the reservation that it was my girlfriend's birthday and they went out of their way to wish her a happy birthday upon arrival and share some complimentary items to celebrate.

I usually sit at the bar with Twin but had a table full. Ryan was great!!

O-Ku is a favorite spot of mine, especially happy hour on Mondays! After my original birthday plans got snowed in, my friend took me out for a make-up dinner tonight and it was wonderful! Our server was fantastic and made such an effort to make me feel special which was so appreciated. The food was perfect as usual—the Playboy and Tennessee Two-Step were incredible and the chef’s choice sashimi was a perfect way to end out meal! I love coming to O-Ku and can’t wait for my next reservation!

We decided to plan an evening out with friends and family before we welcomed or second baby this week and decided on O-ku and were not disappointed. The service and good are top notch! The rock shrimp and cauliflower are not to be missed as well as the predator roll and nashvegas. Great drinks and good wine prices as well.

I am so glad I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant! I was looking for something different for a date night with my husband and O-Ku was perfection. We ordered the Tennessee Two Step, Playboy, Black Magic, Mushroom Farro Risotto, Wagyu beef skewers, and rounded out dinner with Tiramisu. It was all soooo delicious! The risotto was absolutely incredible and my favorite. Creamy, cheesy, and hearty...just incredible! I am not a huge fan of sushi and only want it from time to time. However, I could eat O-Ku every day! My husband is a huge sushi fan and the Tennessee Two Step has quickly became one of his absolute favorites. Our server, Josh, was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgable. We actually let him decide our dessert and we do not regret it at all. He picked very well. This may have been our first time at O-Ku but it most certainly will not be our last. We absolutely love it!!

O-ku is hands down the best sushi we have had in Nashville. It is a little pricier than your mom and pop sushi shop but the price reflects the quality.

The restaurant is trying to forgo quality with atmosphere. Food was subpar, but service was good. Design and atmosphere was great.

Excellent service as always! We were there to celebrate a birthday and they made sure to make it a special experience. Food is always delicious.

We started with the Black Magic, which was amazing. Squid ink rice with lobster on top. Almost ordered another because it was so good. We had the white truffle edamame and it was yum! We chose to split several rolls: the playboy, nashvegas, and predator. Predator was probably my favorite but they were all delicious. I don’t love raw sushi so these were perfect. We also had the Sugar & Spice cocktail and it was good- spicy with a sugared rim. The best part of the night was our server- she was upbeat, knew what she was talking about, and made great suggestions. She also let us try the espresso martini without us even asking, which I thought was really nice! This place is perfect for date night or a night out with friends. The ambiance is great- music was perfect, just the right amount of noise- and the food is outstanding.

Great experience with Clinton as our server. The food was delicious and fast service, and our server Clinton was so nice and fun!

The service here was among the best I have received anywhere. Knowledgeable, accommodating, and passionate staff made it a super fun experience. Food is next level. Great time! Can’t wait to go back.

Everything was fantastic!

The food was to die for, only beat out by the excellence of our server :)

We went to Oku last week for dinner, it was the first time for most of our party and we could not have been happier about the experience.
Our server, Clinton was awesome. He suggested dishes and let us know his favorites. He is a true professional. While the food is great, he made the night so enjoyable with his knowledge and disposition.
We had sushi, sashimi, the pork belly bowl all great. It is a very busy and popular spot, but they do a nice job of staying on schedule.

Great cocktails, diverse menu and the food is outstanding. This is out go-to date night spot.

Great sushi great service!

Everything was amazing, fast and our waitress was so personal

Waitress Sarah was amazing!!

Excellent experience as always. Gabby, Wilson, Kala and the team do such an amazing job! Killer service from our server, Trish. Always a favorite!

We first discovered O-KU in Charleston, SC many moons ago. It was LOVE AT FIRST BITE! This was the 2nd time dining at O_KU Nashville and it did not disappoint. The fish is so fresh and the presentation beautiful. Our favorites are the Tennessee Two Step, Hamachi Carpaccio, and any Nigiri. Great wine selection and priced well. The Service was outstanding, well-timed and friendly... thank you Sara!!

Took my wife here for her birthday. Couldn’t have made a better choice. Our waiter,Clinton, was excellent. Best Sushi in Nashville. Going back soon!

Great server, and fantastic sushi. Enjoyed it very much!

I enjoyed my meal. The food was tasty, and although the service was inconsistent, the waiter recognized his mistakes and tried hard to make up for them. I enjoyed the restaurant. I did not enjoy getting my car booted parking in the lot adjacent to the restaurant.

Always a great time! Server was friendly and food and drinks were very yummy!

For the second time in a row we have had a perfect experience at O-Ku. The first time we had Laura as our server, this time we had Ashley. Both were amazing, gave great recommendations and truly elevated our experience. Looking forward to returning soon.

Loved every minute of this place. Friendly and accommodating staff. Great food and service.

Absolutely amazing experience, everyone! We love Oku and have always had knowledgeable, helpful, friendly servers that make the amazing food that much better!

Ryan our waiter was awesome!

Five of us ordered 12 dishes. They were all outstanding. We all loved their tiny chicken wings. We’ve spent much more for food not as tasty.

Most amazing sushi, really unique and delicious options to choose from , don’t get many date nights now but this was totally worth the cost of a sitter and going out!

Can’t remember our servers name but she was absolutely phenomenal. Had the best time celebrating my birthday! She made our experience wonderful. Very attentive, friendly, and our food came out pretty fast for it being full with reservations. Love this place even more than the last time!

One of the best sushi restaurants in Nashville! The staff is extremely friendly. If you're looking for a great date spot, this is it!

We had a reservation but still had to wait 30 minutes. The staff didn’t apologize specifically but they were generous to offer a free appetizer.

I've only ever had 5 star experiences here! Wonderful staff, amazing food and great drinks. The environment is so warm and comfortable too!
