I recently had the chance to take menu photos at MORA in Oak Park, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was super chill—relaxed yet stylish, with beautiful art pieces all around that made the space feel warm and inviting. I arrived around 2 PM, a quieter time, and the staff immediately made me feel welcome. I was running on low energy, so I asked for a tea. The waiter didn’t just bring me a tea—he crafted me an absolutely incredible blend that woke me right up and had me ready for the shoot. That small gesture set the tone for the whole visit. Service was spot on—friendly, attentive, and fast. The food came out surprisingly quickly without compromising on presentation or quality. Every plate looked like a piece of art, which made photographing them a joy. And the flavors? Amazing. From the sushi rolls to the hot dishes, everything was fresh, balanced, and beautifully plated. The vibrant garnishes (including fresh flowers!) added a touch of elegance. Overall, MORA isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a spot to enjoy a full experience. Great food, great people, and a vibe that makes you want to stay a while. Highly recommended whether you’re coming in for a casual lunch, a special dinner, or, like me, a creative project.

What can I say. This place is a gem. Their food is amazing. We ordered kamayan, different kinds of sushi on a boat, salmon and veggies and banana wonton topped with ube cream. They are all delicious and presented well! Staff is also amazing and very accommodating. Shout out to Tony Santos for his excellent customer service and for being awesome!!! We came here for early dinner to celebrate my niece’ graduation and he made sure our first visit is extra special! Thanks to Tony and to the staff for the experience. We will definitely be back.

We celebrating my husband's birthday on 7/13 and not only was the food delicious, but the service was amazing. Mora’s never disappoints. Since Covid we don’t go out to eat onsite that often and order take out. This is another reminder that we need to be present and enjoy the ambiance. Thank you Mora, Franco and Tony!

I had the pleasure of dining at MORA Oak Park, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was exceptional - the Kamayan platter, which was a feast for the eyes and taste buds. The Dragon and Samurai sushi rolls were also incredibly delicious and fresh. What truly impressed me, however, was the outstanding service. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The best part? MORA Oak Park offers Michelin-star quality food at a significantly lower price point than other restaurants of its caliber. It's a rare find, and I feel lucky to have discovered it. Overall, I highly recommend MORA Oak Park to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience without breaking the bank. Five stars, hands down!

If you’re looking for the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy incredible cocktails, and be treated like royalty—this is the place. I’ve been coming here regularly, and every single visit reminds me why I keep returning. The staff? Exceptional. Always warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. There’s a genuine sense of care in how they treat you, and it really elevates the whole experience. Ask for Franco when you go—he’s hands down the best. Friendly, professional, and he just gets it. He knows the menu inside out and always has the best recommendations. Now, let’s talk cocktails. They’re not just good—they’re outstanding. Creative, perfectly balanced, and beautifully presented. You can tell the bartenders take pride in their craft, and it shows in every sip. The ambiance? Spot on. The music sets the perfect tone—never too loud, never too dull. It creates just the right vibe whether you’re out for a relaxed evening or something a bit more upbeat. Cleanliness is another thing they absolutely nail. Every corner is spotless, and it makes the whole environment feel fresh and welcoming. From start to finish, this place is flawless. It’s rare to find a spot that gets everything right—service, drinks, atmosphere, and vibe. But this one does. Trust me, it’s worth every visit.

Delicious sushi in a warm atmosphere with attentive service. I enjoyed the Let it Rain roll and some unagi nigiri, while my partner was very happy with the orange ginger chicken skewers and smoked salmon sashimi. I'd love to go back sometime as there were other intriguing house rolls on the menu! Thanks to Sophia for making sure we had a great experience.

Probably the best dining experience I’ve ever had was at Mora. Not only were the food and cocktails creative and delicious, the staff made the us feel so welcome from start to finish. Dianna our server was genuine and knowledgeable giving us great recommendations, Tony the manager was so friendly and took time to check in with us, and Multiple other staff members were beyond attentive, helping make the experience truly something special. We are so grateful we found this gem. We live 50 minutes away but will make it a point to visit again soon. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Stopped here for a cocktail before our dinner plans on a Saturday night. Grabbed some seats at the bar (luckily, there were some still available) and ordered some edamame and drinks. I tried the Jazmin (their version of an old fashioned), Ashley tried the margarita with mezcal and then hubby and David tried the Forbidden City (Manhattan). Everyone liked their drinks with the margarita and Jazmin being the favorites. The drinks are not overly priced, but not cheap either. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised at what a nice cocktail bar this was and we will happily return the next time we are in town.

My husband and I had a reservation on Valentine's Day but upon arrival, we were turned away by the manager. It was deeply upsetting because it was Valentine's day and we had dressed up for the occasion. We were given no notice before arrival that the reservation would be cancelled via text or phone call. We then got a notification via OpenTable that we had no showed to the reservation and had to appeal the no-show because the host and owner failed to cancel any of the reservations that were made ahead of time that they chose to cancel day of. There were also no updates on any of their social media or website. I understand it was snowing that night and they wanted to get their staff home safely but having customers drive in the snow to their reservation and then being turned away with no notice or backup plan is just poor customer service especially on a holiday.

I'm fighting the urge to write an essay, on what was absolutely perfect about our experience, there are so many aspects of the experience that impressed us. We discovered Mora, driving by , we were drawn in by the concept of Asian Tapas. From our courteous and respectful server, Tony, to that stunning Honey Shrimp entree, words are inadequate to describe our wonderful moment at Mora. The dessert banana fried in a wonton, giant scoop of blue berry ice cream and sauce were a taste of heaven after Bonnie and I spent 5 minutes just taking pictures and videos of the presentation; so beautiful! Thank you. We will be rushing back!

We just stopped in for a quick snack so we didn't get a chance to try all the things that looked excellent (which was many many things) but what we did have (honey shrimp and adobo pork fried rice) was really good and the vibes are very elegant and there's a lot of potential here.

Had a great experience here! We just moved to the area about a year ago and I am a sushi lover so I am glad we finally came here! All the fish was fresh and delicious and the rolls were unique and flavorful! I enjoyed sake and my husband had a great cocktail - we will most definitely be back! Atmosphere by the bar is fun and moody, and it was cool to see the kitchen from the restaurant. I did see some random furniture/storage up in the entryway and there was a little lack of excitement in the dining space in terms of design, but overall it was clean and staff were friendly and great so we would definitely come back!

We had such a difficult time deciding on what to order because everything looked so great, We had mostly their hot dishes, so excited to go back and try some of their sushi rolls. The tea, miso soup, and lumpia were great. the wings and noodles could have had more flavor. The service was very sweet and attentive. They are a very large restaurant with some seating options outdoors.

Our first time at Mora was outstanding! My boyfriend and I were out in the burbs today and were craving sushi and we stumbled upon Mora. Right when you walk in, there is an amazing aroma and ambiance from the scents and candles at the host stand. But it just kept getting better from there! The restaurant was clean and modern. Our waitress Ariana was sweet, kind, patient and accommodating. We had two simple rolls - spicy shrimp and salmon. We also got the yellowtail jalapeño dish. Everything was fresh, flavorful and super tasty. The manager Tony came over and stopped by to check on us and make sure we were comfortable. He was so kind and friendly! He really made our experience that much better. Also, they were playing great upbeat music! It was such a vibe. We just randomly stopped in today for a quick roll but this has become now one of our favorite spots in Oak Park. We'll definitely be back!

I got the Inihaw Salad because it was a novel menu item for me. I wanted to love it but the taste fell flat. The ingredients were fresh but I couldn't taste the garlic vinaigrette at all. I had to use a little of the sweet chili sauce from the lumpia so the salad would have a little flavor. Also, I think it was supposed to be eaten like a wrap because the bowl had big lettuce pieces but overall, it was just awkward. I had to ask for a knife (which wasn't provided as a default utensil) so the salad was easier to eat. My friend ordered the adobo pork belly and they said the meat was tough, stringy and hard to chew. I tried it myself and the skin was difficult to cut; the outer skin was dry instead of crispy. I feel like the meat wasn't braised long enough so it would be tender and it was seared too long. The flavor wasn't something to write home about either. The only one we liked was the soft shell nigiri. Mora should focus more on just the aesthetic of the dishes.

This place is located in a quieter part of Oak Park. It was very busy and there was a wait on a Saturday night, so reservations are recommended! The staff was very friendly and attentive. I ate the following: Lumpia: small but tasty! Crispy and satisfying Robata Yaki Tiger shrimp: juicy and plump with a lovely smoked flavours from the grill. Poke Tower: kind of misleading because there was no tower. Mango was not ripe- not sure if that was on purpose? Salmon and the chip were tasty though. Veggie roll: veggies were crisp and great in a veg roll!

Cute sushi spot in a cozy little corner. Love the sushi and the Brussels sprouts! Bar Tender Jorge is the best! He introduced me to some new drinks the last time I was here. I went back recently tried the sushi. The service is great only thing we found odd is that the waiter dropped the towel on the floor and continued to wipe the table with it. Yuck. But overall everything else was great!

I love sushi and this spot is close to my home. I stopped in on Friday after a long week for some good sushi and sake and this spot never disappoints. I usually always get the shrimp tempura, spicy shrimp and dragon sushi rolls and they're all delish. I also enjoy their sake. I don't drink sake anywhere else, but when I come here I get it and I really like it and whew is it strong! If you know anything about sake, it usually has more alcohol content than wine, so when a carafe (sake usually is served in carafes instead of wine glasses) is like 13-17% alcohol, like I said whew! The Lychee and Apple flavor are my favorites. I ordered the miso soup as well, but did not enjoy that out of everything else. It tasted too seaweedy. I also ordered the brussel sprout & kale salad. It was different and kinda too busy for my liking in a salad. My server was really cool and attentive. Definitely a solid sushi spot

Did a search for Asian food on the way home back into the city and this place came up. Looked over the menu and knew I had to try it and I'm so glad I did!! I love everything about Mora! We had the lumpia, honey shrimp, adobo fried rice and Korean wings (mild). As soon as I tried the second dish I was like this is my new favorite place. I was already thinking about the next time we could visit. You know that's a clear sign the food is excellent. The ambiance and service are also on point. Try it out! Mora did not disappoint.

I came here on a Thursday evening with a friend since I'm still new to the neighborhood. I had just missed HH (Happy Hour for those that don't know) by a hair. Darn! Anywho, I was seated right away in a dimly lit establishment in the back. Note: they do offer outdoor seating. I was asked if I wanted. A drink. I got the Forrbidden City which is their twist on a Manhattan. They make their bitters in house, which is super cool and they add a pear liqueur. My friend and I got two orders of the Korean wings - now she had been here before yearsssss ago and that was the first thing she mentioned so of course I had to try. I also ordered the vegan/ gluten free fried rice (fried hard) and she got a Mash 8 roll. The ambiance: gorgeous. Our reservation was for 6:30pm and it was dimly lit. By the time we left, the front of the bar was popping. Definitely was giving bar first date with drinks vibes. Real cute and simple if you don't want a meal. The service: Nicole! Yes you girl you get a shout out. Sis made SURE my friend and I were taken care of. She did her thing while simultaneously training a new hire who also was very diligent and attentive. Nicole gave honest recommendations that really fit what we wanted. The food: chileeeee them cooks can cook. Do you hear me?! They did their thing. The chicken wings we're crispy. How crispy it looks in my photo is how it was in real life. The sauce didn't make it soggy - none of that. The fried rice was bussing. They even threw in tofu. For $10, you can beat that portion size. If you didn't guess it already, I'm returning here. I need to try like three more menu items and two more drinks. lol.

I went to this restaurant for the first time last night and it definitely will not be the last time. Everything I had was delicious! My favorites were the Mush Mush and Chrispy 8 rolls. They were both fresh and flavorful. I also enjoyed a glass of Akashi Ume. The ambiance was great as well. Lastly, the service was top tier!

My family and I visited here for the first time and our experience was so lovely! We came on a Saturday during lunch and there were 6 adults and a baby. Our servers were very attentive and answered all of our questions! Because my family can eat a lot and this place serves "asian tapas" we ordered a lot of dishes but portions were actually very nice! We ordered: crunchy Brussel sprout salad, korean wings, green beans, basil chicken, lumpia, honey shrimp, samurai roll, and I can't remember what it was called but it was fried pork belly served on lettuce wrap and everything was so so delicious. My filipino parents who are hard to please and picky with restaurants actually really enjoyed this place so that was a win our favorites were the Brussel sprout salad and the pork belly! Lastly our kind server recommended us to try an "ube panna cotta" and that was soooo good too we definitely will visit again!

Came here with a girlfriend who is new to the Oak Park area, but had been to this place once and HIGHLY recommended it. She raved about the wings that I myself was not able to try because we had just ate, but the way she talked about them I will have to come back! She actually ordered some to go for later haha We sat at the bar where the bartender greeted us and gave us menus. We had some questions about the drinks and he politely answered and gave recommendations off what we wanted. My friend got a "grown man drink" as I like to call it lol and she liked it, but did say it was stronger than expected. Mine was more so a sweet and cute drink. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The glasses are cute, the ice is aesthetically pleasing, the bar is quaint. The owner walks around and helps his team ensuring that everything is going well for customers- I liked that! I wish I could speak on the food, but if out here again, I will definitely give it another try!

I didn't capture any pictures of the food I ordered because I was so hungry but we ordered the Korean chicken wings, crispy 8 (smoked salmon/shrimp tempura, crispy rice (spicy tuna/lobster), adobe fried rice (substituted the pork for chicken) and combination rice. Alcoholic beverage, old fashions. Everything was amazing, fresh, hot and tasty. The staff were extremely nice, great customer service. The vibe was nice calm and chill. My first time and I'll definitely be back!!

We've been to Mora on a few occasions for dinner. Their service is great and the food matches the amazing service their staff and chefs put forth. Last December, we decided to ask if they catered and we were fortunate enough they had just started putting their catering menu together. We were AMAZED by the food and the quality, as well as attention to details by the staff members. We ordered a large tray of lumpia (Filipino egg-rolls) and their pork adobo fried rice. Everyone at my son's 2nd birthday party were delighted by the food and the great taste. We love their sweet and sour sauce that goes with the lumpia! It is just the perfect amount of sweet and tanginess needed to go with the savory flavor of their lumpia. Their adobo fried rice was also a huge hit! We had guests going up for 2nds and 3rds! We can't recommend Mora enough and are glad we have an Asian fusion restaurant that serves Filipino food less than 20 minutes from our home!

We tried to get a table and were told it would be a 20 minute wait. We have a phone number. After an hour we returned, and asked for an update. They whispered amongst themselves, pretended they didn't see us for a moment, rolled their eyes and then just said they called twice. They had an attitude the entire time. We never received a call or anything and the attitude was unwarranted. It's sad we had really been wanting to try the place.

While the sushi at Mora is terrific, the service is not. The last couple of times I've been there, the waiter wanted to know if we were ready to order the second we sat down. We had to shoo the guy away and tell him to stop rushing us. The last time I was by myself. I told the waitress I wasn't ready to order when I sat down and she didn't come back until I flagged her down 15 minutes later. I hope they get their act together. I definitely want to come back.

Went with my Latina friends for the first time. We saw in social media that nowadays they serve Filipino food..Place looks nice and service was good. Im Filipino and the Mexican friends I went with are very familiar with Filipino food. They loved Filipino foods since we were teenagers. We are in our late 40s now..The foods we ordered were mostly Filipino but Its like we were eating Chinese food..The pancit is like what we eat in Chinese buffet. My friends were the ones who complained about the food. Why they advertise Filipino foods and its not even near how they taste.

I love that I live so close to Mora. The food here is excellent. The drinks are as well. My favorite sushi here is actually the Mush Mush. The crispy shallots are amazing on it. I never thought I'd like a mushroom sushi, but this one surprised me a lot. The green curry is also a favorite of mine. We've gotten it twice already, and we've only been here twice! It was possible to get it extra spicy, so that was a huge plus. I was surprised also by how much I liked the brussel sprout salad. I'd definitely get it again if sharing with other people. We came here for happy hour one of the times, and the deals were decent. I think the sake deal was the best. I got the lychee sake.

Came for a very early dinner around 4pm on Saturday. I was very surprised to see a few tables and the bar pretty full. The place has a nice chill vibe and everyone seemed to be enjoying it. I got the famous Brussel sprout salad, poke "tower", and a lychee mai tai. That was enough to fill me up so will have to come back for the Korean wings! The food lives up to the hype, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the vibe is great. Can't ask for more!

Tony was a great server...the food was delish, atmosphere was relaxing. I could definitely see putting this on my go-to place if I lived a little closer. Lumpia so yummy...flavorful filling and crisp outside Zodiac, margarita and Honey Sake were thumbs up. GF got the fire roll and vegan fried rice...she enjoyed them both. Save room for the Ube cheesecake!

We visited Mora, the pan-Asian place in Oak Park's Harrison Arts District, a couple of time for dinner recently. It was OK. VIBE: One visit was after dark, and the dining room was dimmer than I like; in a subsequent daylight visit, we got a window table and it was great. The décor is woody and restrained. On one visit the place was almost empty, so noise was minimal; on a more crowded visit, the combination of music and chatter was prominent. SERVICE: On the crowded visit, service was brisk and transactional; on the less crowded visit, staff was Attentive & friendly, and food pacing was perfect. FOOD: Adobo fried rice w/pork belly was delicious. Gyoza were moist & tasty. Brussels sprouts & kale was yummy, but jalapeños were too spicy for the dish. Orange chicken skewers were tasty but a bit chewy; ditto lemon beef skewers. Basil chicken was tender & juicy, but had no appreciable basil. Green beans tasted OK, but were kind of stringy. Of the three red wines by the glass on the menu, "Folly of the Beast" pinot noir was quite good -- it went well with everything. Mora is not at the top of my short list of good Oak Park restaurants, but it has its charms. I'm sure we'll stop by again some night when we don't feel like cooking... ---------------------

Amazing all around!! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and delicious, but it was the prompt and friendly service that really made our night and will be the reason we return- often! We felt so welcomed and special!! The hostess, waiter, and bus staff were all so lovely and seemed like they were happy to be there, and happy to welcome us. We booked in advance and dined on the patio. Staff is masked. Masks indoors, too, but we sat outside so we took off ours. My husband had the chef's special (see photo) but I'm sorry I don't recall the name of it. My son loved the Filipino Fries and a salmon roll. I had the amazing gluten-free vegetarian rice noodles, just incredible. Best noodle dish I've ever had, just loaded with delicious vegetables as a flavorful vegan sauce, and a very generous serving. $88 plus tip for 3 meals and my hearty mai tai cocktail. Be careful with that one. The mai tai was very strong. Delicious and amazing, but strong. Beautiful night. We will absolutely be back, soon! Thank you!!

Mora is our favorite place for sushi in the Oak Park area -- delicious food, beautiful presentation, lovely ambiance, and above all, amazing staff. Tony, in particular, always makes us feel like we are dining with family. Do NOT sleep on this one -- it's perfect!

This place was amazing! Authentic and delicious! Our server was attentive and nice. There was a V lot of room and space between other customers and seating at the tables. It wasn't loud and it wasn't quiet. We had a conversation and wasn't disrupting anyone and we weren't disrupted by anyone else's conversation. My friend and I had a really great time. We plan to go back!

We had such a great experience here. Miel, the hostess, greeted us as soon as walked in and got us seated immediately. We sat outside to enjoy the great weather, and loved the patio seating and location in the Oak Park Arts District. The atmosphere of the neighborhood is eclectic, unique, and unassuming at the same time. A true place to "let your hair down" and have a relaxing experience. Being on the patio allowed us to get that immersive feeling. Our server Tony continued the warm welcome with prompt and attentive service throughout our lunch. One thing we really appreciated was Tony asking us if we'd like certain dishes out first. The menu is a mix of small and shareable plates, so this was appreciated. Also, we've had too many experiences where our mains come out before what we hoped to have as appetizers. Considerate service from the beginning. We started with the Mora Mai Tai which was delicious - a nice citrusy drink for a cool summer afternoon. For our appetizers we had the lumpia and the crispy Brussels sprouts and kale salad. Don't let the baby size of the egg rolls fool you -- these were packed with full flavor. The salad was SO GOOD. I love crispy Brussels sprouts but tend to have a hit or miss experience at restaurants because they can be too oily. Not only were these Brussels perfectly crisp and not oily, the presentation as a salad with crispy kale made for such a great light texture and twist on your basic kale salad. For our mains, we had the adobo fried rice and Fresco roll. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH. These two dishes surprisingly complemented each other - we had the fresh element of the Fresco with fresh cuts of tuna, white fish, and salmon alongside the savory indulgence of the adobo fried rice. We ended with their ube ice cream (we were near our limit but made room)! So delicious. I meant to ask if they made their ice cream in house because it tasted so fresh. Will definitely be back based on this first experience.

My friend and I wanted to try Mora after seeing a recommendation on Instagram, and we are so glad we did! The restaurant has a good amount of space and seats at a bar. I loved being able to see the open kitchen, too. They were playing very contemporary music that kept my energy up. We focused on the more Filipino dishes and everything was delicious. We especially loved the adobo fried rice and the adobo pork belly, and the lumpia, crispy rice with lobster, and the lancit noodles were great as well. We also had a tasty cocktail each. Our very kind server also gave us a free ube ice cream dessert, which was delicious. We will definitely be back soon, and we were excited to see they deliver to my friend's house. I highly recommend checking them out!

Hello Foodzies, today we had an Asian infused tapas lunch. We finally made it to Mora at 210 Harrison st in Oak Park. The restaurant was a nice upscale clean open air concept with a nice bar, both and table seating with an open kitchen where you can see the chefs preparing your food. While you are eating new wave techno music was playing in the background. Our server Jorge was very personable and friendly. Although after our order was served he stood at the bar on his phone until he was ready to check on us. Glenda had a Mora Mai Tai different from the regular Mai Tai. Not very good it was ver lemon forward with an offsetting floral taste. We started with Philly (smoked salmon, cream cheese and avocado) roll nothing really spectacular I thought it fell flat. I rarely make a soy and wasabi slurry but this needed it. We then had Honey Sheimp(tempura shrimp, creamy honey aioli and candied walnuts) that was the highlight of the meal, the shrimp was nice and crunchy and the walnuts and aioli were awesome. We then ordered Crunchy Brussel sprouts and kale salad (brussel sprouts, kale, carrots, cabbage, jalapeños, onions, fried shallots, chilies and a sweet chili sauce). Bad choice the shallots and some of the brussel sprouts skins were burnt which threw off the rest of the salad. The chili sauce was the best part of the salad. From there we tried the spicy shrimp and salmon rolls with. Both were ok but needed some flavor. All in all I'm going to give it 3 stars. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Ciao Ciao for now.

Mora out did themselves today. I was a happy camper with my spicey tuna roll and eggplant dish. But the MVP was the ube ice cream with rice crispies sprinkled on top. Yes you heard right! They had me at ice cream. Service was also a win and I will return to enjoy any and all other dishes.

What an amazing choice for a late lunch/early dinner! So glad we stopped to try it out, we will certainly make another visit. First, we picked a perfect time, after the lunch rush but before the dinner crowd, so we were 1 of 3 tables seated. We were immediately greeted, every server/staff person in our vicinity checked in and were so lovely and pleasant. Lovely decor. AND EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS DELICIOUS!!! That salad, I could eat every day. Very excited to have an additional option when we have sushi on our minds!

We had a fantastic time here. The food was really good but the best part was the service. My teenage son had a birthday, and they were able to make a special non alcoholic drink. He felt very special! The sushi tasted fresh, and it was just delicious. The misu soup and the dessert were great, too. Our waitress was very pleasant and patient and made the whole experience amazing. Definitely recommend this spot, and we plan to come back soon.

The food was great, the service was greater, and the vibe was intimate. The only reason why it's a 4 instead of 5 is because just about everything that's fired is done in the same basket as the shellfish. Makes me a little apprehensive as one with a shellfish allergy. Now it's not lower than 4 because the server was open and honest.

I really enjoyed Mora! On a date with an idiot however the Waitstaff was superb and I forgot that he was there. LOL! We tried: Gyoza - delicious Lumpia - tiniest rolls ever - Meh Spicy Tuna roll - delicious Crispy 8 roll - Gross however in all fairness I wanted the Dynamite Stick but was advised the restaurant was lacking all of the ingredients. The Crispy 8 was recommended and it was awful Entree - Basil Chicken was delicious Drinks were perfection and worth every penny. I'll definitely return!

Great place to grab a mai tai and bunch of small plates. We heard so much about Sen but weren't overly impressed so we tried Mora and we love it. Great staff, strong drinks, and delicious food.

This place is AMAZING!! The food is delicious but what really impressed us was the mixologist Jorge. He has created such a flavorful cocktail menu. Try their mai tai, cucumber margarita and "The Jorge" drinks. All delicious with a beautiful presentation. You don't really expect this level of mixology at a sushi place but wow. Also get the Brussels sprout salad and the adobo fried rice! Best roll hand down is the Mush Mush ( trust me) you will love it. The space is lovely and the service was great. I highly recommend.
