O-Ku

Chef Jeffrey has done it again. 🔥

Our new Curry Octopus special brings together tender octopus, purple sweet potato purée, and a coconut curry glaze for a dish that’s comforting yet unexpected.

Here, until it’s not.

Happy National Sushi Day!✨🍣🥢

At O-Ku, we honor sushi’s centuries-old tradition while embracing the creativity and craftsmanship that make every plate uniquely our own. By blending fresh seafood, Japanese-inspired techniques, and bold flavors, each piece is a celebration of both history and innovation.

Celebrate with us by enjoying our Sushi Sampler, featuring your choice of krab krunch, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, or harvest roll paired with a three-piece nigiri.

Whether you're a longtime sushi lover or trying it for the first time, there's no better day to gather around the table and enjoy every bite.

Meet one of the stars of our raw bar: Kampachi Crudo.🐟

This Japanese amberjack is prized for its firm bite and delicate, buttery flavor. We brighten it with leche de tigre—made from the fish bones for an umami-rich, citrusy kick—then layer in red onion, micro cilantro, and chili oil for balance and heat.

Simple ingredients and bold flavor. That's the O-Ku way.

A perfect pairing.🍶🥢

Meet Nanbu Bijou, or “Southern Beauty” — an award-winning Junmai Daiginjo sake from Japan’s Iwate Prefecture. Crafted using only rice, water, yeast, and koji, this vegan-friendly sake is known for its smooth, full-bodied character and layered notes melon, pear, and other fresh fruits.

Its bright profile pairs beautifully with our Scallop Crudo, where thinly sliced scallops meet cucumber, yuzu, and garlic chili crisps for a balance of freshness, citrus, and subtle heat.

Join us on King Street and discover why great sake is all about harmony — one sip and bite at a time.

There's something truly special about a dining room before the evening begins.

Soon these rooms will fill with warm conversation, clinked glasses, and the kind of nights that stay with you long after they end. Everything is in place, the only thing missing is you.

We'll see you soon.🍣🥢
