We enjoyed a delicious meal at OKU. The fish was so fresh and the texture was perfect! We loved all of the nigiri and tried a few new rolls. The cauliflower starter and rockfish was delicious! Aine M was our server and she was exceptional! She made our night perfect and accommodated a request we had beautifully. We will be back!

Close breakfast location. We decided to use our breakfast allocation for staying at Hotel Californian. Great service. Tasty breakfast. Compared well with Jeannine's without the crazy line. Enjoyable pastries too.
