Leilani Asian Fusion

Leilani Asian Fusion + Playmakers
🏀🥢

Some dreams don’t disappear.
They evolve. They rebuild. They come back stronger.

Mora Ventures Hospitality Group is proud to introduce the team helping bring this next chapter come to life:

• Abigail Kemph — Managing Partner & Director of Strategic Growth
• Jeff Allen — Growth Advisor
• Garnett Chavez — Director of Operations
• Clark Francisco — Director of Culinary

And yes… Chef Clark is bringing back Leilani favorites like All-Day Hibachi while introducing elevated new experiences including Omakase and the all-new Playmakers sports bar menu.

Right now, we’re deep in the design phase — carefully crafting every detail to reflect the energy, resilience, and love Aurora has shown us throughout the years.

This is a comeback story. For the City. For the people who believed in us. For everyone who never stopped asking when we’d be back.

Here’s a small sneak peek of what’s waiting behind those doors.

We can’t wait to welcome you home soon. 🫶🏾

On April 22, we’re honored to stand alongside incredible community leaders at the 3 C’s Summit Luncheon—shining a light on domestic violence and connecting our community to vital resources.

Leilani Asian Fusion has always been about bringing people together—around a table, a shared experience, culture, connection… and purpose.

Some spaces are built for business.
Some are built for community.
And some—when the moment calls for it—become something even more meaningful.

This is the flavor we bring.
This is who we are.

Join us. Come experience the flavors!

Honored to be featured by Crosby from Chicago Tribune: https://digitaledition.chicagotribune.com/shortcode/SUB710/edition/cd1282ea-65a8-49d3-9f80-7b0196ce3bfd?page=489db506-fe9a-4137-8f29-b91317937bbe&

Leilani Asian Fusion was where first dates turned into something real. Where families gathered not just to eat, but to connect. Where strangers became regulars and regulars became family.

That doesn’t disappear. It builds.

We didn’t shut down. We paused on the edge of something greater. Because what we started was becoming a destination.

Aurora is the City of Lights.
A city built on resilience and reinvention.

So let’s do what Aurora does best—

Build it back.
Stronger. Sharper. Unmatched.

This isn’t a comeback.

It’s a continuation.

Fine dining 🍽️. Event space 🎈. Immersive Sports 🏈 experience. All in one place 📍🗺️

Over the past few (days-weeks-months), we’ve received messages from people in our community sharing what Leilani Asian Fusion has meant to them — memories made around a table, flavors that felt like home, and the feeling of being part of something bigger than a meal.

Those words mean more than you know.

Leilani has always been about heart, culture, and community. Every dish carries a story, and every person who walks through our doors becomes part of that story.

We’re grateful for the love, the support, and for everyone who believes in what Leilani stands for. ❤️

Thank you for believing in us, standing by us, and carrying Leilani with so much love. Aurora, this next chapter is for all of us.

After a long journey, has found her home.

Not just any home — but one of the most iconic buildings in Aurora.

For years, this building has stood as a quiet witness to the stories of our city. Generations have walked past it, memories were made inside it, and like many historic places, it waited patiently for its next chapter.

Today, that next chapter begins.

Leilani was never just meant to be a restaurant. It was always meant to be a story of love, legacy, and community — a place where food, culture, and connection come together.

To bring that vision into a historic space that has meant so much to Aurora feels deeply symbolic. We’re not just opening doors — we’re honoring the past while building something beautiful for the future.

Soon, the lights will turn on again.
The rooms will fill with laughter, music, and the smell of incredible food.
And a building that has watched over Aurora for decades will once again be full of life.

Aurora, we’re coming home. ❤️

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays 🎄
