O-Ku Atl

Walked into O-Ku on a Saturday evening and were able to get a table for two with no reservation, which was nice. After being seated, we waited about 10 minutes before our server came over. The first thing he told us was that he was “very busy” with the table of six behind us. That was pretty much the only other table he seemed to be taking care of, and it immediately made us feel like we weren’t a priority. Because of that, we decided to order everything at once: edamame, karaage chicken, and three sushi rolls. He told us he’d space the food out so the sushi would come after the appetizers. Then he disappeared. About 20 minutes later, he came back and told us he was just putting in the sushi order. Apparently it had never been entered when we originally ordered. The service for the rest of the meal was pretty much the same. The food was fine, but nothing that would make us want to come back. The chili oil edamame came out room temperature, which was odd. We ordered the Black Forest, Sake to Me Baby, and Baja California rolls. The latter two were probably the best of the three, but none were particularly memorable. Parking is valet only, and it’s not complimentary. Overall, the service was disappointing, the food was average, and having to pay for valet didn’t help. There are too many good sushi spots around Atlanta to spend another evening here
