Lowcountry fare takes an exotic turn east as O-Ku brings upscale Japanese cuisine to Charleston’s bustling upper King Street. Named as one of the Top 20 Best New Restaurants by Esquire magazine, Executive Chef Sean Park celebrates authentic Japanese cuisine with a contemporary twist that focuses on unique ingredients and sophisticated presentation. From petite plates to sushi specialties, O-Ku showcases the freshest fish from the world’s finest markets, as well as locally sourced ingredients. Under the helm of Managing Partner Steve Palmer of The Indigo Road, O-Ku’s interior is sleek and modern, yet offers a reminder of Charleston’s charms and history with its exposed brick and high ceilings. A fine selection of sake and hand-made cocktails complement the restaurant’s eclectic menu and sleek ambiance, making O-Ku one of Charleston’s top dining destinations.
