Great food and good service, a nice cocktail menu too. I call Mora a real neighborhood gem‼

We couldn't believe we had never been to Mora! First of all, this is a beautiful restaurant, with Asian touches throughout. Look around and you'll see bamboo, flowers, plants and inviting spaces to dine. There is a lively sports bar as you enter the restaurant, with comfy bar stools. Mora offers a variety of Asian dishes including Filipino, Japanese and Chinese selections! There were also several great vegan options! We enjoyed every dish we tried and didn't feel rushed, while we enjoyed tasting each other's entrées. The service was great, prices were fair and there was plenty of street parking available! We will definitely go back! read more

Great food and excellent customer service if your dining in...unfortunately 1st take out order and the quality was less desirable.Brussel sprout salad on point, sweet potato roll was dry and Banh pho Xao was full of chopped up noodles, clunky sliced jalapeños with an overload of tofu. It saddens my heart...I want to love this place again read more

Very spacious beautiful spot. Service was outstanding! The mai Tai drink was yummy and was served in a really cute pineapple cup. The miso soup was very tasty. I had the Philly roll, which was good but a little thin on the smoked salmon. My husband had the adobo fried rice and really enjoyed it. read more

Cute restaurant casual or romantic. Small Tv at the bar area only. Food pretty good and consistent. I always go for sushi but today I ate pancit. Different than homemade pancit but still very good and flavorful. I also had lumpia with were about 8 mini lumpia rolls. Loved them. Street parking, great service, indoor and outdoor seating, nice bar options. Music playing and not too loud when having conversations. Definitely a place to check out for Filipino dishes and sushi. Didn't take any pics today to support items but the pancit is a one person meal/dish that won't give you left overs if you are an average eater. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I visited for an event last Mother's Day and have been trying to get back since. I swear, every time I want to go, it's dead in the middle of rush hour and I don't want to spend and hour in traffic but the lumpia keeps calling, I'm not gonna lie. lol Anyway, Mora is a super cute place with delicious food and drinks! Service was great. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I'll make it back there eventually. read more

Mora Magic: A Sushi & Fusion Birthday Win in Oak Park I took my girlfriend here for her birthday, and wow! What a gem in Oak Park! Walking in, the vibe was cozy, modern, and welcoming. It even smelled amazing, and since it was a weekday, it wasn't crowded, which made it feel even more special. We were seated right away, and our food came out in under 30 minutes, which was super impressive and worked in my favor because let met tell you... the birthday girl was Hangry! LOL. We ordered a feast: Orange Chicken Skewers, Combo Fried Rice, Philly Classic Roll, Salmon Classic Roll, The Fire Signature Roll, and Nigiri Smoked Sake. Everything was delicious and plentiful. The Orange Chicken Skewers stole the show right out of the gate, this hot plate is such a clever idea! I don't know why other places don't do something similar. Two perfectly grilled skewers covered in a sweet, tangy ginger-orange glaze that I'd absolutely order again. The Combo Fried Rice was next, and let me just say this: every single bite was loaded with flavor. You just need to try it, it's hard to describe how good this dish truly is. Highly recommend! The sushi? Fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented. Each roll had its own personality, and every bite was an experience. While the presentation was gorgeous, Mora doesn't rely on looks alone the taste backs it up 100%. The staff really made the night, too. They surprised my girlfriend with a birthday Mochi Ice Cream, which was a first for me. The Mochi had this fun presentation, chewy texture with creamy ice cream inside, and I was pleasantly surprised, the lemon and raspberry were so good! Oh, and I can't forget the mints by the door. I'm not sure if they were lychee-flavored, but they were insanely good. The couple in front of us left with a BIGGEST handful of them, and honestly, I can't even blame them, LOL. Overall, Mora nails every detail, from the atmosphere to the service to the mouthwatering food. This place is thoughtful, consistent, and clearly run by people who care. My girlfriend and I were blown away, and I've officially found my new sushi spot. 10/10--I'll absolutely be back. read more

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! read more

Mush Mush Signature Roll; delicious! Crunchy Brussel Sprout & Kale Salad; amazing! Basil Tofu; my favorite dish on the menu! Each dish we had was a hit! I'll definitely be back for more. Staff was attentive. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Food was delicious! We had the combo fried rice and gyoza. Service staff was kind. Cute environment. they also have a happy hour menu.

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. read more

I was not impressed by the food at all, some of the worst sushi in be ever had. I guess I should have expected that since I didn't see someone making the sushi fresh. The wings were ok but needed a dipping sauce to come with it. The pan it was flavorless. The place is nice and has good music playing the service was good but nothing noteworthy but won't be back. read more

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! read more

Good food, prices are good Wings were yummy, adobo rice a hit. Service was a plus and ambiance good.

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!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

Save room for the Ube cheesecake! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

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! read more
