Ora occupies a warehouse space on Danks St in Waterloo, where chef Nobuyuki Ura oversees a modern sushi omakase alongside a broader Japanese restaurant menu. The kitchen runs fish preparation in view of diners, pairing the omakase with a sake and cocktail list.

Service is split across lunch and dinner. Lunch omakase runs Tuesday through Friday from midday to 3pm. Dinner seatings are offered Tuesday to Saturday, starting at 17:30 or 18:00 depending on the day and running to 22:30. Ora is closed Sunday and Monday.

The restaurant sits in the upscale price tier, reflecting a multi-course omakase format rather than an à la carte sushi counter. Exact pricing, course counts, and seat capacity are not published and should be confirmed directly with the restaurant.

Reservations are handled through SevenRooms. Given the lunch and dinner structure and the single-chef omakase format, booking ahead is advisable, particularly for dinner seatings or specific time slots. The address is 8 Danks St, Waterloo, and the restaurant can also be reached by phone.
