O-Ku Raleigh

Three signature pairings, three distinct flavors.

Today is World Sake Day, and tonight we celebrate this timeless spirit at O-Ku with three sashimi pairings worth exploring. For just $36, take a look at what we're offering below:

🌸 Soul of the Sensei with Yellow Tail Carpaccio

🌸 Black Dragonfly with Tuna Crudo

🌸 True Vision with Usuzukuri

It's the perfect way to celebrate the craft, the creation, and the culture. Kanpai!

This is when the magic happens. ✨

The sound of sizzling as Chef sets your skewer on the robata, the clinking of glasses during a toast to another year, the laughs between old friends reuniting.

At O-Ku Raleigh, every moment of your dine is an experience to be remembered.

One final detail sprinkled on our Mont Blanc Cake, and you're ready to enjoy.

With caramelia dark chocolate mousse, chestnut cream, yuzu raspberry coulis, and raspberry, this dessert is equally dreamy as it is delicious.

We'll take two of the Gyuniku, please.

Certified Angus Beef® hanger, togarashi, and crispy shallots make the perfect combination to share or enjoy solo.

We'll see you again on Tuesday, September 8 for Japanese flavors and classic cravings. See you then!

A5 Japanese Wagyu, seared table side and served straight off the cast iron. 🔥

Japanese technique, Southern hospitality — our take on teppanyaki puts the sear (and the finishing touch) in your hands.

A cocktail that's equal parts sweet and spicy.

Our Sugar & Spice cocktail is a staple on our beverage menu for a reason. Habanero vodka and passion fruit balance with lime and a sugar rim for the perfect sipper.

Swipe for a few of our O-Ku Raleigh favorites. 🥢✨

Our Tuna Crudo is a light and refreshing starter with maguro, avocado mousse, wasabi soy, and crispy shallots.

Next up, our o-toro spoons melt in your mouth every bite with rich o-toro and uni combined with flavorful kizami, ponzu and kaluga caviar.

Our Octopus specialty dish takes a more adventurous approach, with gochujang glaze, kabocha squash puree, smoked paprika and yuzu olive oil.

Finally, there’s a reason our Hamachi Carpaccio is a fan favorite. With tender hamachi and flavorful mango puree, serrano, yuzu oil, and ponzu, it’s a dish you’ll keep coming back to.

A classic cocktail, with an O-Ku spin. 🔥

The Old Fashioned is a staple on our menu for a reason. Crafted with Elijah Craig, bitters and demerara, it's smokey and smooth for the perfect sip.
