"O-Ku is located in South End's Atherton Mill and it shares that hip spirit in its design—exposed brick walls, large windows, and moody tree branches. Its hip vibe makes it just right for dates, groups of friends, and girls' night out—it feels as if it could be a New York City restaurant. The menu starts off with Japanese apps like edamame and miso soup before veering off in surprising and creative directions. Think: duck buns, a tantalizing array of carpaccio and tartare. Then, of course, there's all the maki, nigiri, and sashimi." - Nancy DePalma
