Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar

Fantastic place for lunch or dinner. Came here with a couple of friends and we tried a little bit of everything. The flavor was phenomenal. We shared the crispy Thai pork ribs, brisket sandwich, char siew pork belly, smoked wings (Thai), chicken karaage, broccoli, and sesame rice noodles. So much food, but everything was great. The house made ginger old fashioned was tasty as well. Can't wait to come back!

This is a very nice place with a great atmosphere for hanging out. The drinks were awesome; we especially loved the Old Fashioned and the Moscow Mule. All of the appetizers were good, but the corn fritters, wonton chips and salsa, and edamame were the true standout dishes—we'd highly recommend them! Our least favorite was the broccoli; we would have preferred it if it had been cooked instead of served raw. The main course was okay, and the dessert could have been a little better. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for drinks and appetizers!

Pretty restaurant serving an interesting menu and selection. When I went it had quite a large crowd outside. Ambiance i will definitely give a 10/10. Its a beautiful restaurant. The menu has an interesting selection of meat and vegetarian options. I went for the tofu stir fry to try a vegetarian option. The presentation is nice, though personally I don't like these types of bowls, but overall a tad sweet (which i am not so keen on). I also ordered the lychee martini which was not bad but not on the wow factor either. Service: I had to flag someone down to see how this restaurants works lol. Its open seat concept and you order from the bar. Barely any interactions. Overall I still would say to try this place at least once. The atmosphere nice and also pretty family friendly

I’ve been to Loro twice in the last week — it was the last meal I had before leaving town and the first meal I had when I came back. That alone should tell you how much I enjoy this place. The food is just killer. The smoked brisket is a standout — deeply flavorful, perfectly smoked, and melts in your mouth. I love the way they incorporate fresh herbs and Asian influences into classic Texas BBQ. It’s bold, balanced, and just plain delicious. The crispy potatoes with a tangy aioli were a surprise favorite — crunchy, savory, and addictive. My buddy had the smash burger, and for two guys who literally make smash burgers for a living, he said it was one of the best he’s had in a long time. I also brought another Kansas City native to try the BBQ, and he was thoroughly impressed. And then there’s the frozen gin & tonic — seriously, one of the best frozen cocktails I’ve had. Super refreshing and full of character. Their drink menu overall is creative and worth exploring. Now, about the atmosphere: From the outside, Loro looks like a sleek, upscale spot — modern and almost high-end. But once you walk in, it’s got more of a laid-back, beer hall vibe. High ceilings, communal seating, a few TVs on the wall — nothing over the top. It’s casual, a little noisy, and clearly designed to seat as many people as possible. It’s not trying to be glamorous on the inside, but it doesn’t need to be — the energy is relaxed, and it works. The hiccup.. The service model.. 1st visit, we sat at the bar and were taken care of entirely by the bartender — smooth and simple. Second visit, we sat at a table, but had to order at the counter and close out there, even though servers were bringing food. It just felt a little clunky for a place that feels so polished in every other way. A more consistent, intuitive service style would really elevate the experience. Still, the food is more than worth it. Loro is packed with flavor, creativity, and good energy. Once they tighten up the service approach, it’ll be one of the best casual dining spots in the area. On July 7, I returned to the restaurant with even a larger group this time. I grabbed the table around of frozen gin tonics after bragging about how great they are, and then we all patiently waited in line to place our orders.. thankfully, the restaurant was not too busy so in hindsight, I guess it’s really not that inconvenient but at the same time, for that type of elevated food and the overall demeanor of the restaurant you just expect some type of table side service. Well don’t.

I love the vibe of Loro! There's plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor and for a Saturday night, there was essentially zero wait time. We got corn fritters and karaage which were both good. we also got the new smokehouse sampler which comes with pulled pork, brisket (which was so tender), wings, the cabbage salad that was so refreshing, and my favorite THE POTATOES! If you get anything, I would suggest that you get the potatoes! We got the flight to test out the three drinks and I will say, the spicy watermelon marg was the strongest. We also really enjoyed just chilling outside after our meal. Vibes are just superior here.

I can’t stop telling enough people about Loro. It’s absolutely my favorite happy hour. They currently have a spicy margarita that is the definition of perfect. Our must haves: edamame, smoked wings, frozen cocktails.

The brisket queso was amazing. The brisket taste and texture were on point. The salmon dip was incredible too. Suggestion about the queso, I would get it with wontons next time if possible like the salmon dip. The chips that come with the queso are a little hard.

Some incredible food here that is so unique and delicious! Not really a bad thing in the menu but shout out to the wontons with salsa and pulled pork sandwich.

Unique, modern, accessible, casual and generally amazing. This is such a welcoming space both indoors and outdoors (great options for fall patio seating, games, etc.), nice people and, most importantly, amazing food. This is not the cheapest option in the world but it is an excellent one! Some of the most pleasantly memorable meals I've had lately. I love it so much I've been three times lately. P.S.: If you love steak, get the Butcher's Cut

Great atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating. It's a self serve place. Walk up, place your order, fill your own soft drink. They bring you the food. Ribs were ok. Lots of flavor. Did not hit the mark for me.

Having been to the Deep Ellum location I knew I would love everything here, but I have to say this location was truly spectacular! My favorite! I arrived a little early and sat at the bar, I was helped by at least 3 wonderful team members, they were so kind! One in particular was the highlight of our life. He kept us happy, laughing and enjoying all of the Loro delights. The corn and the fritters, the Singapore curry, the drinks, so magical. Really well done. We left Loro ready to return. It was a fantastic evening! The food was fantastic per usual. We were very happy we tried a great sampling of amazing dishes. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The staff made us feel welcome and offered great recommendations. The food was incredible. Every dish was packed with flavor and clearly made with high quality ingredients. The menu blends Asian and Texas BBQ influences in a way that feels fresh and exciting, offering a great mix of international flavors. Go see them. Best!

Five stars in my book! I walked in the first cashier/Bartender was kind of unwelcoming, but the next guy who helped us was awesome. We had the seaweed salad, smoked wings, smoked salmon, dip, crispy potatoes, rice noodles, chocolate chip cookie, and was gifted another type of chicken that I can't remember the name of but see picture for reference. The ambience was super cute and bright. The lady that buss the tables was extremely nice as well. The food came out quickly and was fresh which I can always appreciate I went before 4 PM so I wasn't able to try the brisket, but I will definitely be back for that because I hear how awesome it is. I'm glad I decided to try Loro

Had the best shareable stuff and drinks. We had salmon dip, wontons, and salsa, Asian noodle salad, chicken crispy sandwich, broccoli. Didn't take any pictures because we ate everything so fast -highly recommend this place. The Manager so cute and fun.

The location and ambiance is worth it if you like to drink. There's a lot of alcohol and outdoor seating. It's also a nice place to visit if you have a pet. The food was ok, nothing really stuck out. This is my third time visiting and I feel like the food keeps going downhill.

I'm always on the lookout for a good lunch special or happy hour! There are a few locations of this place and I had not realized I had already been to one, so I'm gonna make this review brief. HIGHLIGHT: Gin & tonic slushy drink!! whoa, YUMMERS. And off the specials list we like the tostada thing the best.

Honestly from all of the social media hype this place has gotten, I believe my expectations were too high. We also went during lunch time and they did not have dinner options available. The Asian inspired pulled pork type sandwich was too salty and the crispy potatoes were bland. However what made up for it was the corn fritters which were sweet, salty, and just perfect. I would give it a 2.5 based on my experience but I would be open to going back to trying the dinner options.

Really like this place. I will caveat this statement that I like their small bites and sandwiches. The apps, burger and other sandwiches are great.

After discovering Loro on a recent visit to Austin, I was super excited to learn they have locations in Dallas (I visit Dallas very often, but not so much Austin). With plenty of parking and seating options both indoor and out, I stopped in twice within a week and had excellent service both times. Loro is an Asian Smokehouse where you order at a counter and they bring the food to you. Any drinks you order will be provided on the spot upon ordering, whether they're with alcohol or without. While the ambiance is really thought out and well done, the food is where Loro truly shines. Drinks: the mandarin margarita is solid, booze-forward and slightly sweet Appetizers: Wonton Chips and Dip: loved the wonton chips, the thai green salsa dip definitely has a kick but it's otherwise super tasty. Chicken Karaage: a favorite - keep in mind it's more chunks of chicken rather than larger tenders, but that just makes it crispier overall Salads: Crunchy Cabbage Salad: solid portion size, vegetable heavy, and the dressing doesn't overpower the dish at all. Mains: Oak smoked Salmon: it's not the largest portion but I will still get this one every time I come - the ponzu is a delightful touch that pairs well with the perfectly cooked salmon. Sides: The charred broccoli is great but it is medium spicy and could be too spicy for some. Desserts: The chocolate crème brûlée does not have the best presentation and even appears small, but don't let that discourage you, ...it is decadent and worth every bite. Chocolate chip cookie: it's standard... good, but nothing special. Addison and the North Dallas surrounding areas deserve a place like Loro in the neighborhood and I'm grateful to have the privilege to return after my first Loro experience in Austin - oh, I brought my parents with me and they loved it too!

Wow this place did not disappoint! Fantastic service and delicious food what more could you ask for?! Came for Happy Hour to try the Chicken Sandwich and it was crispy, tangy, and those pickles were a perfect compliment. The tostada appetizers were also surprisingly really tasty. My suggestion would be to chop the cilantro so it can be in every bite but overall it was still amazing! I'll definitely be back to try more item!!

Came to Loro for the first time and this place did not disappoint. Nice ambiance with a great patio to enjoy the weather. The cabbage salad was absolutely phenomenal, I even drank the dressing. The chicken sandwich was so flavorful and loved the pickles and soft bread. And melon salad is sooo soo refreshing, the tomatoe and melon pair so well together. Service was spot on, Trey was super attentive and definitely made us feel welcomed. Definitely will be back to try more items from this menu.

Loro has been one of my favorite places to grab a happy hour, dinner, or snack. This location is absolutely perfect for any occasion: family in town, dates, watching a game, etc. I love their happy hour and the fusion/flavor of food has always been stellar. The short ribs fall off the bone and the corn fritters are what I order first when I walk in every time. Ask the team what they like- they're typically always ready with suggestions or modifications that make items on their menu (drinks and bites) even more delicious and flavorful. Don't wait, prioritize this place if you're ever in the area!

Restaurant is open seating. Came here Monday night around 6pm and they have plenty of seating inside and outside. The only thing I didn't like is that you have to order at the bar and the person that took my order didn't ask me if I wanted to leave the tab open so in order to get a drink I had to go back to the bar to order. I ordered the Beef brisket and it was delicious, very tender and flavorful. Also had the sesame rice noodles and they were also delicious. I will definitely be going back. Highly recommend, just don't forget to leave the tab open because you will want to be able to order more food and drinks.

I love Loro because they have really good Asian fusion foods. While there I ordered the chicken curry bowl and it felt very healthy and light. I also tried their lychee Martini which was spectacular. Definitely going back for their happy hour too.

I first discovered Loro during a work trip to Austin earlier this week, and wow--the food blew me away. I was thrilled to find out there were locations here in Dallas too. As soon as I got back, I knew I had to bring my boyfriend. I couldn't gatekeep this one. The food is just so good. Every dish is packed with flavor, and the quality is consistent across locations. The service is great too--friendly, fast, and super helpful. The space itself is also a win. Plenty of seating both inside and outside, with a laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for hanging out with friends, family, or just grabbing a casual bite. Definitely a new go-to spot.

I love the vibe of Loro! There's plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor and for a Saturday night, there was essentially zero wait time. We got corn fritters and karaage which were both good. we also got the new smokehouse sampler which comes with pulled pork, brisket (which was so tender), wings, the cabbage salad that was so refreshing, and my favorite THE POTATOES! If you get anything, I would suggest that you get the potatoes! We got the flight to test out the three drinks and I will say, the spicy watermelon marg was the strongest. We also really enjoyed just chilling outside after our meal. Vibes are just superior here.

I never got to try Loro when I lived in Austin and was excited to see that there is one in Dallas. The vibes of this place felt very much like the restaurants you'd find in Austin with the patio area and all the wood inside the restaurant. Service here was fairly quick and our waiter explained all of our dishes thoroughly. Food wise I thought it was just pretty average asian fusion, nothing particularly special. The one and only dish that stood out to me was the crispy potatoes with the delicious crisp crust and the miso mustard was a very interesting but tasty combination!

Pretty impressed with this place! You order upfront and then are given a number to use the rest of your stay so you can keep ordering from your seat. There is waiter service and everyone was really kind! I had the chicken sandwich and it was so tasty! The chicken was crispy, hot and had TONS of flavor. I actually think this spot is where I would go when I want flavor. Spice, unique tastes and combos make it a really cool spot. We sat on their expansive patio and really quick service. Inside was lovely and would likely be where I would sit on really cold days or ridiculously hot ones. Would come back for sure!

This is one of my go to restaurants in Dallas. I have been here more times than I can count. I like the sticky thai ribs and the sake can chicken. Also, this time I tried the hug spritz which was 10/10!

WOW! I was so impressed with Loro. The service and dining experience was excellent. You order at the counter and then grab a table and the food comes out to you like, way too quickly. It's absurd in the best way. The patio is super cute and lively and was lovely to sit on during a warm Texas evening. It feels more like a tapas experience if you ask me - each plate is too small for fill one person, so I'd recommend ordering a spread for the table and trying a bite or two of everything. The food is incredible and unique. Asian bbq is an untapped market (in the north, where I'm from at least) and I think that we're going to be seeing a LOT more of this style of cooking in the near future. The salty, tangy and slightly sweet asian sauces and glazes that they're pairing with fatty and succulent meats is a combo that will leave your eyes rolling in the back of your head. Notable dishes were the pork belly, the chicken Karage, the curry shrimp + chicken, the ramen (SO smoky and umami - blew me away), and the cocktails were great too! Go with a bigger group if possible - that way you can get the full spread and experience what Loro really has to offer. Hats off!

Stopped for happy hour and had a blast! Grab a seat wherever you like, scan the QR code and order at the bar when ready. Close your tab right away or keep it open (I highly recommend this since you will want to get more things!) if you like. Food was quite good, and came rather quickly. Nothing stood out as incredible though I would certainly order the following again on happy hour: salmon dip, wings, wedge salad, cheeseburger. Drinks specials on happy hour were amazing...the Yuzu spritzer was phenomenal as well as the mango sake slush...highly recommended! Very casual place, though our Uber did have a hard time finding the place. Everyone working here was great, from the counter to the food runners to bus persons...all were friendly and personable and helpful! Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

One of my favorite spots for small eats. Food is consistent, service is fair, prices are moderate. Ambiance is great, indoors and outdoors. Definitely a must try!

Some coworkers and I dined at Loro for lunch and we loved it! The seating inside the restaurant is extensive, and tables can be moved to accommodate larger parties. It is somewhat of a "seated self-serve" restaurant - you get a water pitcher for the table you can use to fill up glasses and you place orders online. This system makes for a high level of efficiency, and our orders were brought out quickly - perfect for fitting a sit-down meal into the lunch hour. The food was really good - I am vegetarian, so I was initially concerned about having options, but I was pleasantly surprised. I got the corn fritter appetizer (a hit at our table!) and a chilled noodle salad that was very flavorful and light. Even though the menu isn't huge, they had options for many different food preferences. I would love to return to Loro for happy hour and try more appys and some cocktails - they looked awesome. Highly recommend this place!

Highly recommend! We went for happy hour, the smoked wings and pulled pork tostadas were so delicious! They also had some good drinks, I enjoyed the yuzu spritz! Happy hour drinks were 5 bucks so it's rare to find good quality at a good price! The service was quick, and the ambiance was great, lots of space! We definitely will be back!

This is such a fun, friendly place and now that it's starting to cool off it's a perfect patio to visit! Make sure to order a cocktail here too, the drinks are every bit as good as the food! I personally love their mandarin margarita!

This was my second time at the chain but first time at this location and to say disappointing would be an understatement. Our initial greeting was "we're not serving happy hour anymore so these prices are wrong". No "Welcome to Loro. Is this your first time with us" or anything like that. Ordered an appetizer and two main dishes. One of the entrees came out before the other. And the appetizer came out after both of the entrees and after I was finished with my food. No one even asked us how the meal was.... We were only 2 of the 5 people at the bar with 2 bartenders. So it's not like they were busy... I think they genuinely just didn't care.

Had a delicious smashburger here!! Probably one of the best in the area. I ordered takeout so can't say too much regarding the service but my food was made fast. I enjoyed the potato's it came with as well (lunch special). I'd def recommend this spot for a great burger.

Loro is one of the best spots for drinks and catching up with friends. It's great for large or small groups. Also such a pretty space with ample parking Love the QR pay system- you can do group ordering or separate tabs Service is usually great. The happy hour on the weekday is always solid, and I love their boozy slushes I will say some of the food food, outside their snacks/apps is hit or miss I got the melon salad recently- idk if it was off but it was SO salty. The saltiest thing I've ever eaten in a long time I got a side of the Malaysian chicken with it as well- also just pure salt. Their food in general like the bowls and meat is just ok They really shine in their apps. Get the karate, potatoes, corn fritters, wonton chips All are great. The desserts they have also are always spot on

We went during happy hour and our server Tye was awesome! My favorite was the smoked salmon dip. I really liked that it was paired with wonton chips and the salsa verde gave it so much flavor! I tried the Yuzu Spritz. Super refreshing and citrusy. Next time I go, which I will, I'll definitely sit on the patio. It was super cute!

We tried couple of things but food is a bit plain. However the speed of kitchen is so fast. More like a casual bar dining.

pretty good and it came out super quick! I liked the corn fritters a lot. I wish the karaage was crunchier. The bu

Went to location in Dallas. This is third time I've eaten at a Loro. Always so delicious. All staff was so nice and helpful. The restaurant has a rustic vibe and good music. We ordered the brisket sandwiches, street corn(my favorite) crispy potatoes, and sweet corn fritters. Lots of great food. The brisket is always so delicious.

I ordered the Oak Smoked Grilled Steak rice bowl and LOVED it. The steak was incredible - so tender, perfectly cooked, with a very nice char to it. Upon ordering the bowl, I was not expecting it to come with a generously sized, DELICIOUS Crying Tiger-esque sauce but I am so glad it did!!! (I'm one to dip in the sauce as opposed to pouring over, but you do you!) The dish comes with veggies, which I believe rotate seasonally. My plate had radish, red onions, and pickled cabbage. As someone who grew up eating at various Asian restaurants throughout Los Angeles, where I'm from, I am no stranger to pickled cabbage and this preparation featured the perfect amount of funk that balanced the flavors perfectly. It was also topped with fresh herbs that really added an elevated freshness and fragrance. The coconut scented rice was light, fluffy, and delicate making a wonderful base without being overpowering. I can only describe this dish as a Texan Crying Tiger that almost made me cry, myself. Honestly I could eat this dish again and again. As a California-raised Asian-American, who's visiting Dallas for the first time, I'm so happy to have found Loro on a whim. I can't wait to visit Texas again and come back to this place! Recommendations I was given that I would love to try are the char siew pork belly bowl and the curry marinated shrimp bowl for something spicy. The sandwiches and ramen also look so good. The whole menu does and I'm sad to live so far away lol. Also, (and finally lol) I want to shout out the staff-- they were so knowledgeable and attentive and overall very chill. HIGHLY recommend trying this place!!!

Great food. Sit at the bar, they will take great care of you. The ambiance is casual and they are constantly cleaning! This might be the cleanest restaurant I have ever been to. Seriously, give them a try.

Food is great! Eating in or catering all the food tastes amazing! My team always want lunch from here when they get a choice!

This restaurant is nice for hangout and chill while watching sports. The service was incredibly fast, as soon as I placed my order online. I appreciate how one of the servers delivered water and plates before I placed my order. The food is very different from anything I have ever had. The fusion of Texas smoked brisket is indefinitely obvious per bite and the Asian herbs give the sandwich a spicy taste. The salmon dip wasn't familiar with anything I have ever had, as it didn't taste fishy but had a unique flavor people may love or be alright. As a Californian visiting Texas, I would say this place is worth visiting, yet I personally don't like BBQ being overrided by Thai spice.

Love going to Loro. I love that their patio is so big and allows dogs and is pretty shaded. We got the frozen slushy flight and the karaage which were all so good and great to share. Got the chicken sandwich as well which came with house pickles and it was delicious. Good service, with not much of a line to order at the bar. Went for trivia, and will definitely be back.

One of our favorite spots to grab quick eats while in the area! I love how you can conveniently scan the QR code on your table to order and even check out. It may be difficult to find an open table during the weekend but there are plenty of tables outside with fans. Our favorite dishes would be the sesame oil noodles and their rice bowls (curry chicken & brisket). Their cocktails are also very good! My go to drink is the yuzu spritz.

The food is tasty! This restaurant puts out amazing smells and the staff is extremely friendly! The ambiance is something we definitely enjoy. If you drink, they make the drinks pretty strong! Shoutout to the server/bartender who gave me a free margarita! While the food looks great and is very photogenic, we do not plan on returning...the food did not meet our palate expectations, but those are subjective! It was very busy and the other tables looked very content!

The potatoes, the wonton chips and dip, and the brisket were delicious. I'd definitely have them all again. The pork was cooked well, but just wasn't my favorite item that we tried. I had a couple drinks as well, but they were just average. Service was okay. Very friendly when they had time to help us, but pretty busy. The restaurant itself is large and open, with plenty of seating at the bar, inside tables, or outside on the patio. We'd visit again, but with a group so we could try more foods and sides.

My coworkers recommended this spot and I'm glad that they did because this wouldn't have been on my radar otherwise. The patio area is huge. The inside is nice and spacious. You can order from your table or at the bar. During my visit, they had a Hattie B's hot chicken bowl and it was so good! I also tried the edamame and it didn't miss. It had this really good smoky flavor to it. I wanted to try the ramen but it appears that they only have it on certain days :( The mango margarita was solid as well. It's a perfect place to hangout with friends or have a casual date.

I have been meaning to try this place out since it opened. I had a promo code for $20.00 off when spending over $50.00. I figured this would be a good way to try a few different things. Since I was solo, I ended up ordering online for takeout through their website. They have dedicated pickup spots that you call and let them know you are there and they bring it out to your car. I got the Crispy Thai Pork Ribs $15.25, Sesame Rice Noodles $8.25, Texas Sweet Corn $6.75, Loro Caesar Salad $11.25 and the Chicken Karaage $11.95. The ribs came with 4 pieces and were good overall, not a real distinct flavor but good bite to them. The rice noodles were meh, they had some herbs and some spice but really bland flavor wise to me. The corn didn't taste sweet to me and surprised it lacked any kind of flavor with the herbs fried onions on it. I actually really enjoyed the Caesar but it is quite small for the price point. The chicken is a nice size for what you pay and did maintain its crispiness but also was lacking flavor. It comes topped with a sauce and herbs, as well as having a dipping sauce. Without the sauce I am not sure I would have finished these. My food was ready for pickup at the time they stated and the service was nice but for what you pay, I am not sure I would say it is worth it. It may have been since I did not eat there but I will need to go back and try some other things dine in to see if I can up my review. They have a ton of high reviews so maybe my expectations were set to high.

Love their happy hour! Really loved the smoked salmon dip especially & the burger was a great deal. Huge space at their new Addison location with plenty of parking & a big patio for when it's not a million degrees. I always loved their mobile order, which means you aren't waiting & your food comes out so fast.

Loro has been on my bucket list for a really long time. I finally got to try it! I LOVED everything about this place. The ambience is super nice. It would make a nice date night or spot to catch up with friends. The ordering style is very simple. You order your food and drinks through their app/website. The food came out super fast and quality blew away my expectations. I tried the chicken karaage, corn fritters, papaya salad, caramelized onion and cheddar burger, and oat smoked butchers cut. I am literally salivating writing this review. I can't wait to go back and try their chicken and salmon dish! Word on the street Franklin himself may make an appearance soon.

I met up with some of my cousins for dinner before I move down to Houston. We decided on Loro after a few of them didn't want to drive further to another restaurant. Loro is a collaboration between Franklin bbq and uchi. I've already been to the one in Dallas twice but this was my first time at their Addison location. It's open seating so you choose your own table and they have a QR code where you can place your Oder and pay your tab. I got the oak smoked beef back ribs from their Sun+mon special. They were fall off the bone and really good. They come with pickled carrots and a sweet but good bbq sauce. My brothers got the caramelized onion cheddar burger and crispy smoked chicken sandwich. They said the burger was mid and small but the chicken sandwich was good. The brisket was really good. It was tender and had a nice smoke ring with some fat. There were some Thai herbs and chilies to give it a tiny bit of spice. The smoked butchers cut had a shishito salsa verde that pairs well with the meat. I didn't try the smoked salmon bowl but it's a more healthier option that comes with coconut scented rice and a lot of pickled veggies. For sides, I loved the Texas sweet corn. It has extra crunch from crispy onions and is smoky and a bit spicy as well. The grilled shishitos are a new option that are a bit zesty and come with some sort of mayo sauce. The crispy potatoes were solid with habanero aioli and a miso mustard sauce. Overall a really solid place for fusion bbq at a cheap price yet good taste!

This has become our go to date night spot. The karaage is a must have! We haven't been disappointed in anything we've tried. We finally made it on a ramen night and the ramen was super yummy and flavorful. At first I was skeptical about brisket in ramen but they made it work quite nicely. Pro tip: the slushy boozy drinks are delicious. IMO the large is almost never worth it (more mixer in it so it throws off the taste. Kind of like getting a large drink at Starbucks which really just means paying for more milk). What I recommend instead is getting the normal size drink and paying for a floater of more booze if you're looking for, well, more booze! Service has always been great here. We like sitting at the bar so that it's easy to follow up and close out.

First visit. Very laid back vibe. Gorgeous location where The Flying Saucer used to be. Really opened up with large windows, immense seating options, slick bar, mostly good personnel and lots of parking. Food though - I dunno really. They are trying to do a lot of things differently than the same old BBQ joints - I get it. But sometimes fusion dishes can only go so far and then they miss the mark. Got the BBQ sampler on a Friday night early. It's a little odd that you can't order certain things on certain days at certain times. I get this too - they're hoping it brings you back sooner to try something new on another occasion - sometimes this works, often times it doesn't. So, no ribs were on this sampler - it's a lot of food though - two meats - sliced brisket and pulled pork were ok. A little mealy but ok. Sauce was like fruit jelly - not great not necessarily bad. Crunch cabbage salad - started out uniquely different and got old quick - it's missing something. Scattered pickled carrots on the tray were good, the crisp potatoes were excellent. Added the coconut rice - it was a big disappointment - dry, been out awhile, no real taste of any coconut. Exchanged for the street corn - it was pretty good. Friend had the cold noodle dish - ate one bite and couldn't handle it. Told the bartender he didn't like and the bartender didn't offer to do anything about it. He should have picked up on it and offered to replace it with something else. He didn't. The craft draft selection is great and focused. Not 50 taps - but like 15 maybe or less. The pre-made frozen drinks are excellent - please never change that capability - even in winter. Just rotate the offerings. My limited take from first visit - the BBQ probably needs more focus. Maybe rethink some of the fusion sides to make more general palate pleasing. Rethink the sides so that they work better together. The fusion is important I know - but some people's tastes are going to say no and then there may not be enough reasons for them to come back? I'll be back to try something else - most likely the ribs and the desserts that they were out of that night at 6:45 pm. The crowd here is nice by the way.

Was very excited when they added Loro in Addison. We've been to Loro Dallas many times and simply love it, so was excited to have one closer to us. Firstly, I'm a big fan of anything that involves Aaron Franklin. And Loro doesn't disappoint. If you love tapas, you'll love Loro. I think we've tried everything on the menu at least once. It is all very good. We order 3 or 4 items and split it. Sometimes more and just take it home as leftovers. Salmon and beef are great. All the veggie dishes are great as well. Drinks are unique. I like the out of the box approach. Talk the servers at the bar. Engage with them. They will not steer you wrong. I find new things that I love every time I chat with them.
