Omakase sushi that Takeshi (owner) made for us—all of them were as phenomenal as always. I can 100% recommend OKU to anyone who wants a Japanese dining experience where the chef selects and prepares a tasting menu of seasonal ingredients and dishes, leaving it up to the chef to create a unique and personalized meal.
