With its upscale ambiance, oceanfront views, and artfully designed interiors, this modern spot is just a short drive from Fort Lauderdale’s top music venues. The restaurant is an extension of the acclaimed Takato, delivering high-end sushi and Korean-inspired dishes in a more intimate, omakase-inspired setting.

Why Concert-goers love it

OKU by Takato is ideal for concert-goers looking for a refined pre-show meal without sacrificing speed or flavor. Though the space leans upscale, the service is impressively efficient—perfect for those with a showtime to catch. The serene atmosphere also offers a relaxing contrast to the energy of a live event.

What People Say

Diners consistently praise the high-quality sushi, creative cocktails, and attentive service.
