my favorite sushi place in chicago. the rolls and nigiri are consistently creative and well balanced. highly recommend the chef's choice, and to take their advice not to add your own soy sauce as the fish is perfectly seasoned when it comes out. nice atmosphere with good art.

We came the other night and we had a wonderful time. Better than expected. Your decor is beautiful: simple elegant and warm. The menu was just as elegant and delicious. We can't wait to come back again for your volcano roll. I saw that you can bring your own bottle. That's always good to remember for next time as well.

You have to check this place out for 3 reasons First is Oysters motoyaki- oysters infused in mayo sauce with caviar sprinkled on top making it out of this world. Second is Surf and turf - seared rib eye with shrimp. The texture of the meat gives this sushi a body no fish can. We also had spicy salmon, snake eye and scallop Volcano. All beyond good, all seared giving that extra taste and substance no other sushi's can deliver. It's also BYOB. Third is Aliya our server. A looker that slays her hair with a killer smile while taking care of you at the same time. What more can you ask for?Ora is highly recommended.

This place is not talked about enough!!! Amazing prices and overall such good service. I had the chefs recommendation nigiri with a few rolls that I can't remember but they were so good! The nigiri special came with miso soup and a traditional roll for the best price. The nigiri had a few pieces I've never tried before but sooo good. The beef tataki appetizer was phenomenal!! It's small in here, so highly recommend a reservation but the ambiance is perfect as a neighborhood gem! I'm already planning my next visit. Looking for an affordable, high quality sushi spot for rolls and nigiri, go here!

Second visit and it's still good! It's a nice, quiet date spot. I was hoping to try their full menu, but they still have the soft opening menu. I tried the half size of oyster motoyaki and salmon aburi. I can see why people like the oyster motoyaki. The dish was rich with savory flavor. I didn't find the oyster flavor to overwhelm the dish. The half size is good for two people to share as an appetizer. I had it on my own and was pretty satiated with it alone. I enjoyed my salmon aburi as well. I mainly got it because I like spicy tuna. We also received complimentary edamame well-seasoned with salt and cooked. It was a nice touch to our meal. I'm looking forward to their full menu!

Wow! This place was awesome and might be my new favorite sushi restaurant. I highly recommend the oyster motoyaki, the snake eye roll, surf and turf roll, and the volcano scallop roll. Really nice ambiance and vibe and really friendly service, as well. This place isn't exactly cheap, but it seems like they're using high quality ingredients. I will definitely be back to sample other items on the menu.

Absolutely delicious fresh fish! I have high expectations when it comes to sushi but this blew me away in quality. Especially for the price point. I'm convinced this is the best Sashimi/Nigiri you will find in Chicago.Speciality rolls were full of unique flavors and textures too. We really enjoyed the "surf and turf"and the Salmon roll with crispy skin.The sushi rice alone is delicious with the perfect texture and flavor. Not too wetService was amazing thank to Jason. Really helped guide us and create an experience. Very excited to come back and bring friends.Keep in mind this is currently BYOBbut they will provide you with Wine Glasses and they even have Sake cups.If you love sushi, Do yourself a favor and give it a try!

I've lived in Los Angeles and Ora is the best sushi and beats anything I've had in California. Their rolls are fantastic. The ambience is very cool as well. I highly recommend Ora.

I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, and I can't speak highly enough of it. It did seem that they were working with limited staff, but I was in no rush and they were all quite nice. The food was amazing! I don't know if I've had better sushi in the Chicago area. You can tell all of the ingredients are fresh, and the flavors work so well together in the maki rolls. The sashimi were also so delicious. The general atmosphere is relaxed. People were dressed for a night on the town or in casual clothes as well. BYOB, as the bar space is where all of the sushi is made. Will definitely be back!
