Sushi Restaurant To Open in Downtown Raleigh’s Warehouse District
(Raleigh, NC – January 29, 2017) Kane Realty Corporation and FCPSM are excited to announce that O-Ku Sushi, an Asian restaurant with celebrated locations in Charleston, Atlanta and Charlotte, will open at The Dillon in Summer 2018. Owned and operated by The Indigo Road Hospitality Group, O-Ku was named a “Top 20 Best New Restaurant” by Esquire magazine in 2010, and a “Best Sushi Restaurant in the U.S.” by Travel + Leisure in 2013.
“O-Ku Sushi will be a wonderful addition to our restaurant offerings,” said John Kane, CEO of Kane Realty Corporation. “Indigo Road offers top service and incredible food and beverages throughout its group of exciting, destination restaurants. With their successful ventures in other great cities like Charleston and Atlanta, we are certain they will do well in this location.”
O-Ku celebrates authentic Asian cuisine with a southern approach with a menu that focuses on unique ingredients and sophisticated presentations. From petite plates to sushi specialties, O-Ku showcases the freshest fish from the world’s finest markets and producers in areas such as Norway, Scotland, Hawaii and New Zealand, as well as local sustainable sources.
“As a longtime fan of the city of Raleigh, I’ve been continuously impressed by its vibrant food scene,” said Steve Palmer, managing partner of The Indigo Road Restaurant Group. “I’m excited to join this inspiring community through O-Ku, and bring the hospitality that the Indigo Road is known for.”
While the menu is still being finalized, guests can anticipate a unique blend of elevated sushi, sashimi and nigiri options, hot entrees and other traditional Japanese dishes. O-Ku managing partner Kimball Brienza will work with Palmer to recruit local talent to the Raleigh team to complete the food and beverage program.
The Dillon location will be Indigo Road’s first restaurant in the Raleigh market.
