Review
for
April
2022
visit
Iโve
visited
OKU
twice,
once
during
my
friendโs
bday
lunch
in
April
2022
and
just
2
days
ago
for
a
dinner
with
a
friend.
Iโve
got
to
say
I
was
quite
disappointed
with
both
visits
but
especially
with
the
recent
one.
Itโs
a
restaurant
that
pleases
the
eyes
with
itsโ
ambiance
and
food
presentation,
has
great
service,
but
unfortunately
the
food
heavily
underperforms
for
a
restaurant
at
this
price
point.
Ambiance
:
10/10
Very
zen
and
calm,
minimalist
but
luxurious,
modern
but
staying
true
to
Japanese
design
language,
quiet,
overall
nice
for
a
romantic
lunch/dinner
or
a
fancy
family
meal.
Service
:
8.75/10
Standard
friendly
service,
product
knowledge
is
quite
good,
reservations
were
taken
care
of
very
well
with
consideration
for
special
events,
food
waiting
time
was
good,
waiters
were
able
to
recommend
dishes
based
on
our
preferences.
Food
:
1.
Sushi
rolls
:
7/10
Price
:
OKU
Aburi
Salmon
Roll
:
240k++
(was
220k++
in
Apr
2022)
Dragon
Roll
:
220k++
(was
185k++
in
Apr
2022)
They
were
just
okay.
The
OKU
Aburi
Salmon
Roll
during
my
1st
and
2nd
visitwas
just
like
any
other
โsalmon
hana
rollsโ
at
other
mid-to-high
end
sushi
joints,
salmon
was
fresh,
torch
was
okay
nothing
special
just
made
the
salmon
slightly
bitter
and
smoky,
and
caviar
was
just
like
normal
tobiko,
mayo
was
a
bit
overpowering.
The
Dragon
Roll
was
even
more
underwhelming
and
was
even
comparable
to
mid-end
sushi
joints.
2.
Truffle
Gyu
Don
:
7.5/10
Price
:
380k++
(was
325k++
in
Apr
2022)
It
was
definitely
nicely
executed,
but
it
was
underwhelming
for
the
price
and
similar
to
other
truffle
gyu
dons
out
there
tbh.
Truffle
sauce
aroma
was
quite
apparent,
US
beef
was
just
okay
it
was
firm
yet
soft
and
slightly
juicy,
the
runny
onsen
egg
enhanced
the
all
of
the
flavours
with
its
mild
taste
and
runny
texture.

5
Kinds
Sashimi
:
8.25/10
Price
:
420k++
(was
330k++
in
Apr
2022)
All
the
fish
were
fresh,
none
of
them
were
fishy,
but
the
cuts
were
very
thin
for
this
price
and
Iโve
had
better
for
way
less
elsewhere.
Although
the
whitefish
was
rather
impressive
due
to
its
absence
if
fishiness
at
all
which
is
rare
to
find
in
JKT.
Salmon
and
salmon
belly
was
fresh
but
just
okay.
None
of
the
flavours
really
impressed
me
tbh
except
the
whitefish.
4.
Sea
Urchin
Sashimi
:
9.25/10
Price
:
600k++
(was
480k++
in
Apr
2022)
It
was
very
fresh
(no
fishiness
at
all),
creamy,
savoury,
umami,
and
it
had
generous
portion.
Although
this
was
boxed
sea
urchin
and
they
didnโt
have
the
live
option
with
the
shell
still
intact,
wouldโve
preferred
that
one
since
the
boxed
one
lacks
the
refreshing
ocean
smell
and
taste.
The
shell
they
used
in
the
picture
is
just
a
prop
according
to
the
waitress.
Some
of
the
most
memorable
dish
out
of
all
of
them.
5.
OKU
Karage
:
10/10
Price
:
145k++
(was
125k++
in
Apr
2022)
Incredible
flavours,
texture,
and
presentation.
Best
dish
of
them
all.
It
was
crispy
on
the
outside,
soft
on
the
inside,
and
when
you
bite
thereโs
an
explosion
of
the
sauces
inside
bursting
with
so
many
flavours
from
their
shichimi
balsamic
teriyaki
sauce
)(sour,
salty,
slightly
sweet,
all
combined),
PERFECTION.
Best
chicken
karage
Iโve
had
in
my
life,
they
should
really
open
a
chicken
karage
shop
I
definitely
would
come
by
often.

Maguro
Sushi
(Yellowfin
Tuna)
:
7.8/10
Price
:
120k++
(was
90k++
in
Apr
2022)
Fresh,
soft,
no
fishiness
at
all,
though
cut
was
very
thin
for
the
price.
I
like
how
they
already
put
the
wasabi
below
the
fish,
makes
the
sushi
more
authentic.
Shoyu
cubes
were
interesting,
salty,
jelly
textured,
but
didnโt
work
really
well
with
the
sushi
imho.
7.
Warabi
Mochi
:
9/10
Price
:
115k++
(was
85k++
in
Apr
2022)
Soft
mochi
with
red
bean
and
green
tea
filling,
wonderful
juxtapostion
of
nuttiness
and
leafiness,
earthy
goodness,
and
balanced
notes
of
green
tea
and
red
bean.
Ice
cream
adds
a
nice
sweetness
and
freshness
from
its
cold
temperature.
Anmitsu
sauce
added
an
extra
depth
of
flavour
to
it
(sweet).
8.
Iced
Sencha
:
3/10
Price
:
60k++
Very
watery,
couldnโt
really
taste
or
smell
the
tea,
itโs
closer
to
mineral
water
than
it
is
to
tea.
