Construction nearing completion on O-Ku at Naples Square

Construction is underway on O-Ku, the latest restaurant to join Naples Square, with the acclaimed sushi concept expected to welcome its first guests in the coming months.

Known for its fresh take on traditional Japanese cuisine, O-Ku has built a following with sushi, specialty rolls and a menu that blends classic techniques with Asian-inspired flavors. Since opening its first location in Charleston, South Carolina, the restaurant has expanded to several cities across the Southeast, earning recognition for its quality, atmosphere and hospitality.

The Naples location marks O-Ku’s continued growth and adds another dining destination to the evolving mix of restaurants, retailers and services in the immediate area.

“This is another great addition to Naples Square,” said Van Osborne, Vice President of Sales for Encore Naples Square. “We’re pleased to welcome O-Ku and look forward to seeing it become part of the neighborhood. It’s the kind of restaurant that adds to the energy of the community, and we know both our current residents and those considering Encore will be excited to have it just steps away.”

Construction crews have begun work on the space, with the restaurant anticipated to open within the next few months. Once complete, O-Ku will further strengthen Naples Square’s growing collection of businesses while adding another destination to the city’s dining scene.
