A5 Japanese Wagyu, seared table side and served straight off the cast iron. 🔥

Japanese technique, Southern hospitality — our take on teppanyaki puts the sear (and the finishing touch) in your hands.

A cocktail that's equal parts sweet and spicy.

Our Sugar & Spice cocktail is a staple on our beverage menu for a reason. Habanero vodka and passion fruit balance with lime and a sugar rim for the perfect sipper.

Swipe for a few of our O-Ku Raleigh favorites. 🥢✨

Our Tuna Crudo is a light and refreshing starter with maguro, avocado mousse, wasabi soy, and crispy shallots.

Next up, our o-toro spoons melt in your mouth every bite with rich o-toro and uni combined with flavorful kizami, ponzu and kaluga caviar.

Our Octopus specialty dish takes a more adventurous approach, with gochujang glaze, kabocha squash puree, smoked paprika and yuzu olive oil.

Finally, there’s a reason our Hamachi Carpaccio is a fan favorite. With tender hamachi and flavorful mango puree, serrano, yuzu oil, and ponzu, it’s a dish you’ll keep coming back to.

You can basically hear the crunch through the screen. 🎧💥

If you haven’t started your meal at O-Ku with our Crispy Rice, are you even doing dinner right? We take perfectly golden, crispy rice cakes and pile them high with chef’s choice fresh fish, a bold kick of spicy gochujang, and just the right touch of rich wasabi aioli.

It’s sweet, spicy, savory, and gone in about 30 seconds flat. 🥢✨

We’ve been serving up our A-5 Katsu Sando, and it’s honestly such a special bite!

We make it with rich, crispy tonkatsu, a little bit of wasabi aioli for a gentle kick, and top it off with Kaluga caviar. ✨ Not only is it absolutely delicious, but it looks like a total work of art on the plate. 🥂

If you’re looking for a reason to treat yourself to something extra amazing tonight, this is definitely it. 🥰 Come by and let us take care of you! 🥢

You step out onto the patio, the breeze is just right, and the afternoon sun is starting to dip. You’re handed a glass topped with a soft, delicate foam and a crown of fresh greenery. 🌿

Your first sip of the Matcha Therapea is pure, garden-fresh relaxation. 🍃 It starts with a bright splash of citrus and cool mint-shiso, followed by the subtle, earthy sweetness of snap pea and clean matcha. It’s light, bubbly, and incredibly crisp. ✨

To complete the experience, let those bright, botanical notes cut through the rich, buttery bite of our O-Toro Spoons, or use its clean finish to balance the delicate citrus of the Tuna Crudo. 🍣

Your table on the patio is waiting!
