About Oru
Tucked into the Heights, this 24-seat hinoki counter pares dining down to its most electric elements: chef craft, fish quality, and the theater of service. Guests choose between à la carte selections and omakase-like momentum, savoring impeccably sourced nigiri alongside creative plates like wagyu lumpia and a curated lineup of Japanese cocktails. The result is an intimate, high-attention experience that feels both deliberate and liberating.
