Such a beautiful restaurant and our server was so knowledgeable about the entire menu! Cocktails were delicious, can’t skip on the rock shrimp or the Tennessee Two Step roll. Could’ve gone without the chicken skewer, very small and not a ton of flavor. Will definitely come back for another roll!

Pretty good sushi place makes good cocktails too. The rolls were well balanced. The sushi rice was little bit peculiar in that it was not as sticky and seemed little dry, but this may be a style of rice that I am not used to. I got this rice vodka daiquiri like drink with 3 different types of flowers which was a nice layer of complexity. Service was fantastic! The rolls came out a little slow like 45min but the place was pretty busy. The ambiance was nice, but was a little loud because there was nothing to absorb the sound. Overall a nice sushi place!

Great sushi! We family styled 5 different rolls and they all where amazing, fresh, crisp, lots of flavor profiles. Definitely one of the best in Nashville. Great atmosphere, our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. A+!

Fantastic place for sushi. The service was phenomenal. We did the Omakase sushi with the sake pairing and everything was perfect. Sushi tasted very fresh and was well presented. Restaurant is beautifully decorated, great atmosphere

Pretty good sushi spot with a lot of flavor. Got the cauliflower, sashimi, and a few rolls that were spicy and crunch. The edamame had a truffle oil- couldn’t resist. Everything we ordered was tasty. I couldn’t stop eating. Great ambiance and good service. A must try !

All the food was very delicious. The space is loud and crowded so bear that in mind about ambiance. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. Knocking down a star because we went for our anniversary and made a reservation note and didn’t have any acknowledgement of it, which would’ve been nice. Felt like any other date night which was a little disappointing. Would’ve picked a different anniversary spot but would make a good standard date night

Can’t say enough good things about OKu. Entire staff are just amazing. Friendly, kind, always helpful. You won’t find fresher, better sushi anywhere in Nash. We requested a table we prefer to sit at and it was unavailable due to a large group, and they brought us complimentary salmon sashimi. No other place I’ve been to would even give you the time of day if you asked for a table you liked, let alone give you an amazing dish for free if they couldn’t secure it for you. Been many times, and will take everyone here when they visit.

From the time you walk in the door to the time you leave, the staff is checking on you all the way from the server up to the managers. Customer Service is top notch there, and the food is amazing! By far, some of, if not the best, sushi to be found in Nashville!!

Delicious sushi, tasty miso soup. We stayed at the bar because we didn’t have a reservation. I strongly recommend a reservation even if you go on a Thursday night. The bartender was very nice and walked us through the menu. Somone came and offers us some shrimps for free. Too bad I don’t remember the name of the dish. And why there are so many young and beautiful people In Nashville? it seems that the city is young and vibrant. Can’t wait to go back to Florida and feel young again.
