OUR STYLE
Here at OKU, we carefully curate our dishes to be shared and enjoyed together. Our innovative menu ranges from fresh caught sushi, sashimi, and seafood, to some of our favorite, "from-the-land" dishes such as our certified Japanese A5 Miyazaki Wagyu. In addition, we've created a unique menu dedicated to our vegetarian and gluten-free guests. We are proud to be serving Asian-inspired cuisine that everyone around the table will love! From our oceanfront, rooftop patio and lounge, we serve craft cocktails, imported and local beer, and versatile wines rooted in Japanese-inspired elements. OKU, a place where you feel at home and on vacation, at the same time.
