"Nashville is a sushi desert. But there are a few oases tucked in various corners of the city, and O-ku is one of them. This is prime date night territory, with the cozy booths and two-tops, but it also brings a slick izakaya vibe that’s just right for a few friends and a couple of bottles of sake at the bar. Besides the great nigiri, makimono, and robata-grilled meat, the specials like the thinly-sliced Scottish king salmon with black lava salt and truffle ponzu, A-5 wagyu poke, and bourbon char siu-glazed sticky ribs really level up the experience. The multi-course omakase is by reservation only Sunday through Thursday, and is well worth the school night outing. " - jackie gutierrez jones 2
