Rock shrimp salad can be app for four people! Try the surf and turf roll and pork belly apps. They are big enough for dinner---and delish.Upvote2Downvote
Drew GlennSeptember 13, 2014I mainly go here for the nightlife. It gets crazy! It's hard to get a drink once it gets packed, but the DJ is always jumpin on Saturday nights. Definitely my go to spot in downtown Charleston.UpvoteDownvote
Paris EvansFebruary 28, 2016Whoever wrote that oku is not great for vegetarians is a dumbass. This is actually the only place in charleston where you can get delicious veggie rolls. Totally veg and vegan friendly !!UpvoteDownvote

Very good sushi, and it transforms into one of the most popular dance clubs in down on the weekends at night.UpvoteDownvote
Jocelyn BradleyNovember 14, 2012Go on Thursday's! There is a hip-hop violinist that plays live music after 8. O-Ku has a very cool atmosphere, and pretty decent happy hour prices.UpvoteDownvote
Order the martini with the habanero vodka. But DON'T get the 5 Toros 5 ways. It's like 10 chiclet sized pieces of fish (but sliced as thin as paper) for 20$ it looks like Barbie doll food!Upvote1Downvote- Dee EvansFebruary 19, 2019It was really good don't get me wrong, but it seemed overhyped for what it was. I believe it's more about the ambiance

Phillip BracewellFebruary 6, 2011Okonomiyaki was slightly salty but very good, interesting Korean twist on it by adding Kimichi to it. Grilled duck was delicious and tender.UpvoteDownvote
Sonya LuckiMarch 3, 2013Go for the lobster hand rolls off the app menu and the salmon lemon roll. Stellar.UpvoteDownvote- If you like spicey, try the hanenero passion fruit mojito. It's a taste sensation!!!UpvoteDownvote
Camille WrightAugust 22, 2017Waited over 2 hours for mediocre, over-priced food. Got a few apologies, but that's about it. Not a large variety of vegetarian options. Bad wine. Do not recommend.Upvote1Downvote
