Beautiful and delicious. I had the curry noodles with rock shrimp, honestly not a huge shrimp lover but it was DELICIOUS. I also got the spring rolls which aren’t very traditional but gorgeous and a delicious twist, very worth trying. Edamame wasperfectly salted and hot when it came out. We also got a crab crunch roll which was perfect. Hamachi carpaccio had just theright amount of spice (if you like spicy food) and melted in your mouth. Definitely worth trying! Friendly wait staff as well.A+

So delicious!! We came here for our anniversary and were surprisingly met with the amazing happy hour specials. I wouldn’t say it was a romantic atmosphere as it was pretty casual and busy. But we’ll definitely come again for the great food

Very good experience at O-Ku tonight. Very laid-back atmosphere. The edamame was a good starter. The sushi was great. If I could give 4.5 stars instead of 5, I would. It was slightly pricey. If we are looking for sushi in Charleston we will likely return!

Food was good! Loved their scallops dish. Suushi was good and fresh- Something more fun and elaborate would be cool! Pretty standard rolls

Make sure to check out the happy hour at this restaurant. They offer discounted rolls that are a great deal. The fish is always fresh and tasty, and their cocktails are top-notch.
