Loro Review - East Dallas - Dallas - The Infatuation

"Loro, a smokehouse from the chefs behind and , has food you won’t find at other barbecue spots in town. They remix Lone Star favorites with Asian flavors, making tasty creations like brisket seasoned with Thai herbs and sweet-and-sour sauce. Get some of that, plus the chicken karaage and grilled zucchini that comes with just the right amount of char. Portions here are on the smaller side, which might seem annoying at first, but it’s nice to come to a barbecue spot where you can share a bunch of dishes without feeling stuffed. The dining room at the East Dallas location has long tables, making it easy to spread out and have an easy lunch or chill dinner. Happy Hour runs from 2-6pm during the week, and there's a rib special after 4pm on Sundays and Mondays. " - Lee Escobedo

Loro Asian Smokehouse and Bar Is Opening a New Addison Restaurant - Eater Dallas

"Loro Asian Smokehouse and Bar, the Japanese-influenced barbecue spot dreamed up by Franklin Barbecue pitmaster Aaron Franklin and Uchi chef Tyson Cole, is opening a second location in the Dallas area. It’s moving on up, with a new space in Addison’s Prestonwood Place that will open its doors on Wednesday, December 14. Loro also has locations in Austin and Houston, where it opened in the Heights earlier this year. The Dallas location opened in 2021. Hai Hospitality CEO Tony Montero tells Eater Dallas the company has been looking — all the way from the Tollway to up Frisco — for the right location. This new location is where many restaurants, from Stirr to Vidorra to Yard House have opened additional locations outside Dallas proper. “When this site came available in that center, with all the energy, all the restaurants, and all the people, we knew we wanted to put a Loro there,” Montero says. The patio in East Dallas is a huge feature of the restaurant, and Montero previews that the Addison patio will be even bigger and have more trees, akin to its Austin location. “We were able to get a really cool space, where we’re going have this great outdoor space with a big, old patio [and] make it really fun, and an outdoor bar as well.” The kitchen at the new Addison location will be led by chef de cuisine Arturo Hernandez, from El Paso. “My favorite dish is our brisket,” Hernandez tells Eater Dallas. “There is plenty of brisket in Texas, but our flavors are unique with the mild spice from our chili oil, sweetness from our pickled red onions and freshness from the Trinity herbs. You can’t go wrong.” The menu will be the same as it is in Dallas, for the time being. Loro in Dallas recently changed its ordering system, offering a table order option; however, in Addison, it will be an order-at-the-bar situation, which is the Texas barbecue joint standard. “We feel like the guest experience and the vibe that you get from Loro seems to be created better with the line. [It generates] that excitement when you’re ordering and talking to the bartenders. It just gives a real cool vibe that we want there,” Montero says. Watch for opening and happy hour parties, Montero advises. And for the first five days that Loro in Addison is open, Hai Hospitality will be giving away 100 Yeti tumblers to the first 100 guests each day, as well as a drawing for a party of ten in which one person will get to work with the pitmaster at the location to smoke their own brisket. Loro Addison will be at 14999 Montfort Drive." - Courtney E. Smith

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.

The food was phenomenal and the service even more so. Our waitress Roe took care of us from the moment we sat down and continued to provide 10 out of 10 service. Food was exceptional! Highly recommend coming on Sundays to try the smoked ribs. All the meat is falling off the bone, spiced and cooked to perfection. This place continues to lead with innovation in the Dallas food scene! Thank you to this team for providing such a nice Sunday dinner for my family

Unique spot for sure. It is a counter order/serve place. The menu and flavors are unique with a mix of smokey and Asian inspired. We ordered queso, wings, a brisket sandwich, salmon bowl, and a seaweed side salad. The queso was good and we liked the wings (I especially liked the blue cheese sauce which surprised me because I hate blue cheese). The brisket sandwich was overall very sweet, so make sure you're okay with sweet savory dishes. The salmon bowl was pretty disappointing. Salmon was way overcooked and quite small. The remained of the bowl was dry and bland but I tasted the sauce to be added and I didn't like it so dry was better. The seaweed salad I liked but wished had more cucumber to seaweed ratio. Prices are a bit high, but not unexpectedly for a place like this.

Loro is a fantastic spot for comfort food! We visited on a Monday afternoon around 3 PM, and it was very quiet, but I can see how it would be a popular weekend destination. The food was excellent—my favorite was the tofu rice ball, which I highly recommend. The flavors were rich, and everything was well-prepared. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

So this place was really good, I grew up on BBQ so I typically don’t eat it out but this Asian fusion was very nice twist. We ordered the brisket and it was a small portion for the price and it was cold to the touch! my bf is very non confrontational so he just ate it. Tbh it was nothing crazy, tender and a strong Smokey flavor. The chicken karaage was delicious, the combination of ginger, basil and cilantro with it was just *chefs kiss* we tried the sweet corn fritters and sent them back but they are very popular just neither one of us enjoyed them. We also grabbed the rice noodles and oh my gosh they were go amazing. It’s a cold noodles and topped with fresh cilantro and just the right amount of heat and so good. The last side we shared was the Caesar salad, it was not good. I’m a salad lover and Caesar is my favorite, the lettuce was old, wilted and not that nice crisp fresh bite. But eh the stuff that was good was really good, I’d go again for sure.

Food=5 ⭐️ Portions/Prices= 3 ⭐️. The Smoked Butcher’s Cut was cooked to perfection and had so much flavor! 🤤The Sesame Rice Noodles were a little underdressed but tasty. I would go here all the time, but unfortunately I can’t justify $40 for a small meal.

Okay, this place is a 10/10 and highly recommended! I initially came in for their curry ramen bowl, but I didn’t realize it’s only available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The waiter was so sweet and suggested I try something else from the menu. I told him I was okay and walked out, but then I decided to give it a try because the atmosphere was such a vibe, and everyone was really polite. I ordered the Thai pork ribs, spicy potatoes, and broccoli. The owner came to my table and said he had a special treat for me because he overheard me when I first came in. Oh my gosh, that was so sweet! While I was waiting for my food, my waitress, Row, came out with free corn balls. Overall, I will definitely come back! The customer service is top tier, and I love it!🥰

I loved this place. I met with a friend here, and the place was perfect for conversation around a great beer on tap and some delicious food. There were a couple of great protein options, which made me really happy because it was delicious.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!!

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

It's no secret, i am a huge fan of Loro. I always have a great experience at the Dallas location and was so thrilled to see that a new location was opening in Addison. I had the pleasure of attending the soft opening and can confidently say they have worked out any kinks since then. You can now order online and directly at your table. So much more convenient! The food, the flavors, the boozy slushees are all beyond outstanding. Loro is extremely dog friendly and the open patio has more than enough space for a pooch or two. The patio is almost as big as the restaurant itself. Loro is great for happy hour and any other occasion.

Had dinner and drinks on a Saturday evening and was not super impressed. It got really busy around 7pm. You seat yourself at any open table, and you use the QR code on the table to place your order. There's a station to get your utensils and water too. Our table ordered a few cocktails- the mandarin margarita was pretty good and sweet. The salmon bowl was okay- not very filling unfortunately. I wished the salmon was a bigger portion. The brisket sandwich was very bland, dry, and tasted like sweet onions. It came with a pickle. There were no fries included and no fries as a choice of side on the menu. Be cautious that once you open tab, it will close after 60 minutes of inactivity and automatically add a 20% tip! So if you want to adjust the tip yourself, make sure to keep track of time. The place itself had a lot of seating and is great for large groups. The bathrooms are very clean, and there is plenty of free parking around each side of the restaurant.

Came here on a Thursday night with some friends kinda late. It's open seating so it's easy to find a table. You go up to the bar to order. My friends ordered a chicken sandwich, the chicken karage, and a rice bowl. They thought it was good for sure. I ordered the slush flight in the mango sake, hot chocolate, and Vietnamese coffee slushes. They were all really good but the Vietnamese coffee was really strong. Service was quick and I would def come back!

Tried this place on a Friday evening. We brought our dog and sat on the patio. They had live guitar music, adding to the relaxed and casual atmosphere. You order by scanning a QR code on the table, which opens an app where you make selections and pay directly. Servers bring the food and drinks to your table. Loved the convenience of ordering and paying directly on the app! We started with two beers and the salmon dip, which tasted fine but was a little oily. Not sure if that was from the salmon or the peppers, but texture seemed kind of gross. We were in the mood for burgers and ordered the Loro burger and the caramelized onion burger. The burgers don't come with a side of fries or anything, which makes them pretty pricey. We shared the corn fritters as our side, and those were delicious. The burgers came out pretty raw which was disappointing! But, we realized the app didn't ask us how we wanted the burgers cooked. When we asked a server about that, she said you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to select the cook temperature. The app has an Order Now button that stays present on the bottom of the screen that makes it look like it is the end of the page. So, unless you know to scroll down to the bottom, you get a raw burger! The server said she would be happy to have new burgers at the right temperature sent out to us, but we were finishing up and didn't want to wait. I did end up getting sick in the night. I suspect it might have been from either the oily salmon dip or the raw burger. Probably will only return for drinks on the patio.

Wow! Coming I. For early Happy Hour/late lunch is the winning combo at Loro. Ask for AJ as your server. She is amazing and describes every dish to perfection so you know exactly what you are enjoying. She is so friendly and knowledgeable and made our visit absolutely superb! The food and drinks are fire every time. This was our first time at the Addison location and it's beautiful, spacious, and easy parking. The brisket tostados, crispy potatoes, chicken Karaage, and smoke salmon dip are all 10/10. Oh, and the Pina Horchat Slush is refreshing on a hot day.

Went there for lunch with a friend and thought the ribs were really good! Definitely would come back. For the style of restaurant I think a waiter coming to you is easiest vs having to order then sit down. But overall enjoyed.

Ugh the food was just terrible. I tried most of their meat based entree's and all of them were just off. Clearly the people cooking don't know anything about Asian cuisine. The pork belly was the worst thing I tasted. Bitter dry and doused in super sweet sauce. Maybe one needed to really imbibe in the libations before eating the sorry excuse of the food offerings

***UPDATE*** Cheers to Lauren, the GM for Loro in Addison, for reaching out to personally address our poor experience. This is an excellent example of how to be a leader and take accountability! Now, the turkey is still definitely 1 star, but Lauren has delivered a 5-star resolution! There was a time when Loro simply could not miss. The flavors were bold, exciting, fresh and new. Judging by the tasteless turkey breast we had the misfortune of centering our Thanksgiving dinner around, that time for Loro has come and gone. Most people eat with their eyes, requiring presentation to be purposeful and intentional. I've attached photos of the grey, molten-snakeskin like appearance of our turkey breast. It was indeed a turkey breast in its natural state, bland and without even a hint of the smoked aroma or flavor advertised in Loro's Thanksgiving offerings. We've tried adding seasonings and even gravy to wake this slab of poultry up to no avail. We'd have gone better getting a smoked turkey from the BBQ restaurant at our local HEB. Loro, do better. Be more conscious of the quality of your offerings. We trusted you with our family meal, and were sorely disappointed. What a complete waste of $70. Absolutely DO NOT recommend!

One of a kind cheeseburger! The burger was thick and juicy, the brisket jam was amazing plus the other items in the burger made it a one of a kind. Service was quick and the staff were friendly and helpful. It is located at The Domain where there are various restaurants, but none like this style. Dining is in or outside. Don't miss this jewel.

I am a big fan of this place and love that this one is located in a populated area near where a lot of office buildings are. This place is perfect for happy hours if you don't mind that their drinks are pre-mixed. I went here for a lunch with my coworkers last week and we ordered a bunch of items from the menu to try together. All the food came out beautifully plated and was amazing. I personally enjoyed the cabbage salad which had a dressing reminiscent to a peanut sauce. The chicken karaage was crispy and paired well with aioli and the various meats were also great. I have also tried their rice bowls here and thought they were pretty good! I am normally not a fan of coconut but I think it works well in their rice bowls. The service is quick, you order at the counter and they give you a number to take back to your table. There are self-serve water stations in every corner of the restaurant as well. The food came out relatively quick from my past experiences at this location. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything here.

I love going to Loro with friends. It's such a nice place to hang out and grub. I personally like the drinks- they can never go wrong with the drinks!! I'm honestly not a huge fan of the food. Don't get me wrong, the food is still good but nothing super special for the price you're paying. Otherwise, this is a super cute place! Excellent service. Food and drinks come out pretty quickly too.

This place is great! Very open and airy space with lots of seating. As is the new style, you order online and have the food brought to your table. We tried a few of their on-tap drinks and they were very good and well-balanced. The Malaysian chicken bowl is absolutely delicious, a large filling portion for a reasonable price. We will definitely be back :)
