I hate to leave a bad review but the sushi was honestly so bad we were laughing while eating it. The rice was somehow pure cold mush AND undercooked, with occasional rock hard grains in each roll. This place relies only on ambiance and it really show

Came here for dinner and was very impressed by the food, drinks, and service. Inside is nice, clean, but not too over-the-top. I liked there we less expensive options as well as some splurge menu items....and we did. Everything was good but standouts
I really like O-ku.
When you step inside, you almost forget where you are. The vibe inside is warm and dimly lit, but there's also rooftop seating as well with more natural lighting as well string lighting when it gets darker out. If you're looking for good su

Went here on a solo date before they closed on a Tuesday night and everything was delicious. The tempura roll had salmon and avocado and the crunch was perfect. I really came for the yellowtail and was not disappointed. Can't wait to go back dur
The food was fine, if not horribly overpriced.
The service was atrocious. We were seated at the sushi counter; the space hadn't been cleaned and had crumbs all over. The host wiped down the table but didn't use any kind of cleaning solution, so who knows if the table top was actually cl

Delicious sushi experience.
From the service to the ambiance to the food, it was all 5 stars. The sushi melts in your mouth every bite taken. We were so impressed and cannot wait to return.
The food was amazing and our server Andrew was amazing.
I had the scallop and Shashimi combo and it was lovely. The ambience was inviting and intimate and the drink I dropped my chopsticks was amazing. I would recommend this Gem in Navy yard to anyone looking for a great sushi place in D.C

The Food was awesome. Get the spicy tuna roll. 10/10. Loved it sooooooo much.
The outside has a speakeasy vibe to it.
The drinks and food were really good, especially the karaage chicken. The service was just ok.
Excellent is an understatement.
We made a reservation and put that it was our daughter's 21st birthday under the spot 'are you celebrating anything'. When we showed up there were "happy birthday"s from everyone and gift at our table! That extra step in serv

One of my favorite spots in DC for sushi! The ambiance is unbeatable, especially on a hot day. There are no windows and it feels like your being transported somewhere entirely new. Cocktails are innovative and delectable. The food is made to order an
Delish sushi in Union Market
This sushi spot in Union Market is well a worth a visit. The sushi was delectable as we tried several outstanding menu items from the chef's specialties (rock shrimp, tartare and broccolini); makimono rolls (tuna tataki, spider roll); and the ro

Connect with users posting reservations for O-Ku Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with O-Ku Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to O-Ku Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the O-Ku Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at O-Ku Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at O-Ku Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
