Loro

Visit Austin from LA, and this place is a must-try Asian BBQ fusion restaurant and Bar! Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed!
The food was tasty, delicious, unique, and had creative flavors. We all loved the dishes we ordered (pics)
The line seems long but moving fast. You can check in with the host in the front and choose to either dine in or outdoors.
When you get seated, scan the QR code and go to the bar to order your food and pay there; they will bring it out. A bit weird on this part, but I guess this is how they operate!

Every time I’ve come back here, it’s gotten better. The price is surprisingly good at the quality and uniqueness of the food, and the food itself is beyond delicious. However one of the first times I came, there was a peanut in my karaage even though I mentioned that someone in my party had a peanut allergy, and the waitress denied that there was a peanut because it wasn’t in the recipe. (I stupidly ate the peanut to confirm it was a peanut before telling the waitress) but this still felt unacceptable. But I’ve come a few more times and the food has not disappointed and we haven’t had service issues like that again.

We had a great experience bringing a big work group here as part of our Austin retreat. We did a tapas tasting menu and worked our way through treats like steak, delicious salmon, corn fritters that were out of this world, and more. All of the dishes were super flavorful and interesting, and great for sharing.

We had about 40 people and still experienced really great service. Their frozen drinks were a hit for our out of town people going through the heat waves of their first austin spring. I would definitely come back here again.

The three bean salad is amazing, great combination of spiciness and vinegar. My favorite dish is the Asian pear kale salad with grilled salmon added. The smokiness of the salmon complements the sweetness of the pear and the vinaigrette. My friend tried the curried shrimp rice bowl, which was light and well-composed. I love the frozen gin and tonic, which is the perfect patio refresher.

Overall it’s a fantastic place to go. I’m obsessed with T gin and tonic slushy. It’s a must try. The great thing about Loro are the many options that you can choose from. I’ve tried the brisket curry rice, salmon dip, pork belly, corn and so many other things. Everything is prepared well. The wait staff is great. The only thing I didn’t like about the experience was the fact that I had to order the food at the bar each time I wanted something. Even after visiting the other location in Dallas, the app idea was good however, i wish you didn’t have to close the tab every time you order. Having an open tab until you’re ready to close out would be the best upgrade.

Super delicious, flavorful food! Great combination of tastes, textures, fusion of pan-Asian and smoked/ charred foods.

Don’t miss Malaysian chicken, charred snap peas, kale salad.

Is huge and there’s always a line. Order and pay at the bar and food is delivered to your table.

Food was great, i recommend the brisket or salmon bowl. However one of the guys working was quite rude and would cut you off when ordering and kind of do passive agressive remarks. That i did not like at all but the food and atmosphere is great. I got my food quite fast and i believe its dog friendly outside, at least there were dogs outside. Parking does get full so look out for that.

Oh it was sooooo delicious! We wanted something special for our last evening in Austin and we found it.
The food was amazing - awesome tastes and textures. Loved it!

Don't sit at the first booth where you come in. I told the server that I am cold and prefer to sit in the restaurant…she put us in the first booth and I think it is the coldest place in the whole restaurant, because it is right below the aircondition…

That aside - truly amazing food! Just the rice was mouthwatering yummy! And the brisket- delicious!

No reservation necessary- it's a walk in restaurant. They have lots of space inside and out. The outside patio is heated.
We came from Downtown Austin via Uber- about 10$ one way.

I had the crispy smoked chicken sandwich and my husband had the brisket sandwich. Both were exceptionally tender, delicious, and huge, but warned! They are very messy! We had a side of potatoes and corn fritters. I would definitely go back there.

One of my favorite restaurants in Austin. We got the oak smoked salmon bowl, oak grilled snap peas and the crispy potatoes. The oak grilled snap peas are my absolute favorite…the dipping sauce is phenomenal! The mango sake slushy was okay, mostly just sweet (not boozy) but they do have a really nice variety of beers from local breweries!! Love the atmosphere both inside and outside…outdoor patio with really nice ambiance!
