It was my friends birthday and the entire team at O-Ku made her feel extra special. The host, the busers, wait staff, etc everyone said happy birthday…it was even on the menu. And they brought a birthday dish that was delicious, South End Shrimp, order it!!! Also they were out of her favorite roll (potato roll) bc they have to roll it before shift it is so intricate, we were bummed but moved on everything was so good. Towards the end of the meal they brought out a potato roll they rolled especially for us! Amazing! I rarely give words reviews but Mayling and team were awesome. Thank you!!

We tried Copper on Christmas Day and they did not disappoint! Service and food were excellent for a reasonable price point. Cocktails were interesting and crafted with care. The Cauliflower appetizer was delicious. We ordered the Black Sesame chicken Tikka, the traditional vegetable curry, and the Seafood Medley. We all enjoyed the meal very much! Again, service was top notch. Would come again.
