"Great food, great service, and an amazing rooftop dining area when the weather is right! We've been numerous times - pretty much anytime we're visiting SB. It's a perfect spot for couples or small groups of friends. And, while the menu is seafood/sushi heavy (great for us!) there are plenty of other options for the vegetarians and non-seafood folks in your group. We always aim to try a few new items whenever we visit, but our favorites continue to be the Crispy Korean Cauliflower, Crispy Tuna Nigiri, and our all-time favorite - the Seared Yellowtail Box Roll!"

"Love love love OKU! Don't have a picture of their Korean cauliflower wings but that is one of my favorite dishes there. Went for a friend's graduation party and had a great selection of items ranging from their salmon to the fried rice and steak and a whole bunch of sushi. Loved everything from start to finish and it was a great experience. Their desserts were phenomenal too!"

"This place gets busy. Lively atmosphere and good vibes. Service was great. Sushi and items we picked not so awesome. I mean it wasn't bad or anything, just not great!! I think we expected more from the food. Presentation was good and food was fresh but flavors were somewhat lacking. I thought their mixed drinks were real good."

"I got this recommendation from locals in Santa Barbara and I’m not from this area. They were spot on and this is an excellent beachfront sushi spot. I ordered the soft shell crab appetizer, “everybody loves Raymond roll”, sunrise roll and uni sushi. The soft shell crab was delicious but wished they had more of a hot tempura sauce. It was nice, crispy and seasoned perfectly. The everybody loves Raymond roll was pretty good overall and the sunrise roll was also delicious. High quality fish, seaweed and rice. The uni was by far my favorite. Solid flavor and fresh tasting. An overall excellent dining experience and solid customer service. I’d definitely come back here again and try their other menu items. A solid sushi spot overall."
