MOri’s — Restaurant in Irvine

Mori’s in Irvine is one of those rare finds where healthy meets delicious in the best possible way. I came in craving something light and got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken—and while it was super fresh and satisfying, what really stood out were the other dishes on the menu.

They do offer free Assam Tea with Boba to gather reviews while they’re still brand new, but I was about to leave a 5 star anyway. I’ve been here a handful of times since they’ve opened and everything I’ve had is amazing and...
