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.

I always have the best time at Mora! If my friends and I can’t decide where to go, we know we can count on this place. Every dish and drink I have tried is absolutely delicious. Kuya Tony and the entire crew are so nice and hospitable. I recommend Mora to everyone looking for sushi, Asian fusion, or Filipino food.

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.

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.

I’ve been going to Mora for several years now, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently amazing, and the service is always top-notch. Our go-to dishes are the Brussels sprouts, the Crunchy 8, and the belly pork rice, all of which I highly recommend. This time, we tried the basil chicken for the first time and wow, it was just as incredible as everything else on the menu. Mora is one of those places that works for every occasion. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and sometimes we just stop by because we’re hungry and craving something delicious. It’s truly a gem.

My co-workers and I popped in for happy hour and we were NOT disappointed!!! The fuji apple sake, mora Mai Tai, ichimi margarita, Jazmin, and Zodiac drinks were GREAT!! Ask to have the Jazmin smoked! Took it to a whole other level. As far as happy hour bites... we ordered gyoza, lumpia, loaded fries (that yum yum sauce, OOOO WHEEEE ) crunchy brussels n kale. All were fabulous. We also got the wings, which were meaty, and some jasmine rice. A couple of us ordered the adobo fried rice to go... delicious and reheats well. We also got their 2 dessert offerings to round everything out. Tony, the manager, and our bartender, Caroline were phenomenal!! Make sure to check in with them and tell them the Buzz Cafe crew sent you. You will not be disappointed. We spent about 200 for 5 people. It was worth every penny and then some!!

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!
