    We had a great experience at O-Ku! The food was amazing, and our server, Ryan (or possibly Tony—I wasn't sure of the name on the receipt), provided excellent service throughout the evening. He even relit our candle four separate times after we accidentally blew it out, which made us laugh and showed his attention to detail. We took advantage of the happy hour specials, and everything we ordered was fantastic. The atmosphere, service, and food were all outstanding. We will definitely be back!

    Our waitress was a very nice lady. Recommended some drinks to me (as I rarely drink) when asking her opinion over the menu. Even went above and beyond and took a picture of me and my girlfriend for our special night because I asked, very good service very good food will be back.
