What is O-Ku? O-Ku is one of several award-winning restaurants offered by the nationally recognized The Indigo Road Hospitality Group (IRHG). Inspired by sister restaurants located in Nashville, TN, Atlanta, GA, Charleston, SC, Charlotte, NC, Raleigh, NC, and Washington DC, O-Ku’s menu provides a fresh and innovative take on traditional Japanese sushi and cuisine.

It is a beautiful addition to the restaurant scene; instead of the typical dive bars and restaurants, Jacksonville Beach is upping its game to grow the culinary scene here.
