O-Ku, a Japanese restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina, is a triumph of execution and concept. The restaurant's menu is a modern take on traditional Japanese cuisine, and it features fresh, seasonal ingredients that are prepared with care. The dishes are beautifully presented, and the flavors are both complex and delicate. Focused on incorporating authentically Japanese flavors into the fare, O-Ku’s menu is comprised of signature contemporary Japanese entrées and traditional sushi of the season reflecting the uniquely designed space. Guests can enjoy chef specialties including kurobuta pulled pork don-buri, braised short rib with shiso pesto, coconut curry, and hakozushi a box-style sushi.

The Usuzukuri.

Traditional Chashu Don, with sweet soy braised pork belly, fried egg, pickled cabbage, steamed rice, and scallions.

A Japanese comfort food favorite. Warm up with a bowl this weekend by reserving your seat through OpenTable.

Sata Andagi — a fan favorite dessert on our menu for a reason.

Sata meaning sugar and andagi meaning deep-fried, they're traditional Okinawan deep-fried sweet dough balls, similar to a cake-style doughnut.

Our's come with a savory-sweet O-Ku twist: sesame sugar on top and miso caramel dipping sauce on the side (swipe for a demonstration 😉)

Mid-week blues got you feeling down? Our Happy Hour is the cure.

Our personal recommendation for tonight: the Harvest Roll made with fresh avocado, cucumber, fried sweet potato, and asian pico paired with our Basil Berry Lemonade.

From fan-favorite makimono to O-Ku original cocktails, join us for Happy Hour every Monday through Wednesday from 5 to 7 PM and enjoy a little escape from the work week.

A familiar classic with an O-Ku spin and a reason to raise your glass. 🥃

We're celebrating Elijah Craig Old Fashioned Week from now until October 18th with our After Hours cocktail. Barrel rested in house, this cocktail combines Elijah Craig with black walnut bitters and tiger tea demerara for a smooth and inviting sip.

Each October, Elijah Craig brings bars and restaurants together to celebrate the classic Old Fashioned while giving back to the hospitality community. $1 from every qualifying Old Fashioned sold will benefit the Southern Smoke Foundation, supporting food and beverage workers facing unexpected hardships.

Visit us this week and enjoy a cocktail with a cause. We'll see you soon.

Butter-poached lobster in crisp nori.

Asparagus and chives add snap, beets bring a little earthy sweetness, and cilantro aioli keeps it bright.

Hand rolls are best eaten right away. If you usually order temaki, start here next time you're in.
