O-Ku Charleston Reviews from The Last Year
O-Ku has such an amazing interior and ambiance.
We went recently with friends and the food was delicious. I don't eat raw sushi so I was a bit sad to see they had very few cooked rolls but the one I got was amazing. I also HIGHLY recommend the rock shrimp. Each of us got a different dessert and they were all wonderful. The pavlova was my favorite! The textures and flavors were just so well paired.
Wowwww amazing food!!!!! Amazing service!!! Thank you!!!
Wowwww amazing food!!!!! Amazing service!!! Thank you!!! We are Definitely come back!!!

Went for a birthday dinner and it was delicious! It is family style, which I love because you share everything and don't feel so stuffed. Highly recommended.
Great sushi - I had a salmon roll, followed by a tuna roll.
I had Sake for the first time in decades. I could not taste the flavors of the sake. Prices are okay for happy hour. Decor of Oku is nice. Bartender was decent.
To me, O-Ku is one of the more fun "experiences" on King.
They have great drinks - try the sunrise vodka cocktail if you like spicy and fruity at the same time. The sushi has always been really good as well. We normally get a mix of all types and nothing ever disappoints! I've been for a couple of work dinners as well, so it's great for anything from a dinner with friends to a dinner with clients. I honestly thought I had pics of the beautiful food presentations but I will make sure to get them next time and update this review. Yes, we will definitely be back!
This place is a must! The food, the service, and the staff
This place is a must! The food, the service, and the staff were all amazing! So many fun and tasty things to try and the drinks were also the best I've had in Charleston!
My second time at Oku was much better than my first
My second time at Oku was much better than my first experience! They definitely made up for it! I got the passion fruit martini with tequila! I do think it was a little dark in the restaurant but the server was so kind and accommodating! The food was also much better! Still a bit pricey but great a second time around! Here's to trying things twice!
Absolutely love this place! We came here for our seven year
Absolutely love this place! We came here for our seven year wedding anniversary and. It did not disappoint! The restaurant called in advance to get some information from us and set up a cute little table overlooking the street. Sam was an excellent server, very attentive and friendly even gave us some tips for local hangouts. Now the food, oh my goodness so delicious. The crudo for an app was outstanding, truffle edamame so yummy! The drinks were all outstanding, I enjoyed the Saketini and the Fig whiskey drink omg delish! Now for food, my wife's rolls were amazing, and my sashimi unbelievably fresh and mouth watering! We also had the lobster which is cooked at the table!!! Just writing this review makes we want the food right now. Such a spectacular sushi place! Cannot wait to come back!!!!
I felt a challenge when arriving to Charleston; I was told
I felt a challenge when arriving to Charleston; I was told Charleston had no great sushi and I wanted to see that for myself. O-Ku was another restaurant that added to the evidence that no, Charleston has a solid sushi scene if one knows where to look. O-Ku is an open restaurant mixing minimalism with bold, bright statement pieces. They have a sushi bar in the far back and an alcohol bar in the front. Happy hour is a popular time here and the time when the prices are more affordable. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. The food, tho, is very good. The salmon and lemon roll was light and bright. The nigiri - salmon and tuna in my case - were delicious if not entirely traditionally prepared. The pavlova was amazing. It is so rare to see a pavlova on any menu! The service was adequate. The bartender seemed a bit under the weather and they were very busy. She kept moving even though it looked as though she just could use a nap. I am glad I came here and was able to experience this restaurant.
O-Ku is the best place to eat sushi in charleston hands
O-Ku is the best place to eat sushi in charleston hands down..... They have top tier managers and one of the best waiting staff i have had the pleasure of dining with... This place goes over the top to provide outstanding service outside of the sushi the Tobanyaki, Hakozushi, Hot plates are all stellar and second to none the drinks at the bar and the bartenders know how mix....highly recommend you make this your #1 stop for sushi in CHS.....
the vibes, the vibes, the vibesssss! such a homey and
the vibes, the vibes, the vibesssss! such a homey and lovely place. this was our first time visiting, based on recommendations from others. the sushi / food was great as well as the staff and atmosphere. reservations are a must.
The salmon lemon sushi, pork belly entree and dumplings
The salmon lemon sushi, pork belly entree and dumplings were amazing!! Along with the Basil Berry Lemonade which is my favorite drink on their menu. My only complaint is that happy hour is only M-W and not Thursday, we made reservations at 5:30 just to get there for happy hour but that's obviously our mistake. I think the value of the food is more worth it during happy hour especially for sushi, appetizers and drinks. But nonetheless there was great service, a peaceful atmosphere and I had an amazing dinner.
Gorgeous restaurant, excellent Japanese food.
Couldn’t have chosen a better place for my birthday dinner. Gorgeous restaurant with a warm, modern-industrial vibe. The sushi and rolls were excellent and inventive, and the service above & beyond. Sam, our helpful waiter, and Kimball, the restaurant’s engaging manager, combined to present me with a tasty cake & lit candle for the occasion, along with a white chocolate candy BIRTHDAY sign and a keyring complete with rubber dumpling. A memorable evening. Only wish we lived in Charleston - we’d be there all the time.

I have never seen such a small piece of sushi for such a high price. I ordered Nagari tuna, and it was tiny for eight dollars. I can go to the middle of the desert and get better sushi there.

Bartender, Rachel was the best! She provided great service, and the food was amazing, I recommend that the others come here when visiting. I will definitely return back when in town. Great vibes all around!!
Honestly pretty fire came here with my respectful companion
Honestly pretty fire came here with my respectful companion she had been craving sushi so I got her right. Made sure to get here during happy hour we each got two things of sake she really likes it I don't but I feel like I have to like it especially when I am eating sushi I wasn't even trying to impress my respectful companion because she was already impressed that I can do a wheelie on my bike I more just want to impress myself. To follow up with that, your image of yourself is very important have a good high self esteem you are nice and cool!! Sushi here was baller the potato one was "weird" when I thought about it but "yummy" when I ate it. I had this last night and now I sit on my couch drinking chocolate milk (lactose free) (mostly) and their is this weird dog we are housesitting next to me and to be honest I just heard a toot noise come from my roommates room but he is asleep so I'm confused by that. All that to say, I am really craving more of this sushi right now I'm not sure if they are open but that would be nice just like 3 pieces.
Dined here last night for the first time.
This sushi joint is now one of my new favorites in Charleston SC. The vibe is trendy and the staff were all professional and friendly. I tried some of the novel sushi rolls and was not let down.
Used to live in Atlanta where 4 and 5 star sushi bars are
Used to live in Atlanta where 4 and 5 star sushi bars are everywhere and they absolutely deserve the ratings! Yelp truly let me down with the 4 star rating at O-Ku. Seriously, how does this sushi bar rate a 4??? Either because nobody who has rated the joint knows anything about sushi or it's the best in Charleston!!! Order nigiri and you get one piece on rice that's not great and the piece of sashimi was very small. Don't waste your money!
This was amazing.
I was just in town for work and craving seafood. The ambiance was a cool contemporary modern fusion that I like. Food was delicious. It's a little pricey but worth it!
Mediocre sushi.
Rice was so mushy you cannot feel the rice grains. Very disappointed. Friendly staff though. My husband ordered sashimi combo and said it was average.
Best sushi I've ever had.
Had the Tuna Tataki, firecracker, and Fuego Fiasco rolls. All were amazing. Also had the Tiger & coconut matcha mocktail and it was delicious. Amazing ambiance and super cool staff. Charleston has some amazing restaurants!
Fresh sushi, nice atmosphere
Nice atmosphere. I had a rainbow roll and glass of Sauvignon Blanc. The sushi was fresh and the wine was good. The server (Sam) was very friendly but not very attentive. Overall, it was a good place for sushi.
Fabulous Dinner
What a scrumptious dinner. We needed a break from the heavy Southern fried cooking and this restaurant was perfect. Buzzy and trendy, we had great service throughout our meal. We ordered a variety of food, including the truffle edamame, Black Magic, crispy tuna roll, potato roll, and sashimi platter. My husband loved the sashimi, and I loved all of the dishes, especially the Black Magic roll and the truffle edamame.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
