Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar

Yummmmm. The fried chicken is fantastic!! And the coconut rice was so good I couldn't stop eating it!! This is such a cute place; they have plenty of outdoor seating. The staff is nice and the food is so good. I had the Bangkok Spicy Fried Chicken bowl. The crispy potatoes have a nice flavor. The burger was good as was the pulled pork. We will definitely be back to try other items; the menu has a lot of interesting options.

Loro is our go to place when we want to escape the mundane and try something exotic. We’ve been there on numerous occasions for dinner but this was our first for lunch. The staff are always welcoming and aim to please. We picked out a seaweed salad, The Loro Burger and Malaysian Chicken Curry bowl. The seaweed salad was nice and crunchy. The burger was splendid. The potatoes as a side dish were delightful. Finally the Malaysian curry while a tad high on sodium was still packing a punch on the taste buds. All in all a quick and yummy lunch…

Stellar from start to finish! We went for their amazing happy hour. The bartender who took our order was super friendly and gave great recommendations. It’s a cute spot with tons of indoor and outdoor seating, sort of a counter-service, serve yourself spot, but our food was delivered to our table and staff asked if we wanted to order more drinks. Both frozen drinks (mango sake and espresso martini) were incredible for $5. Wings and sliders were delicious. We also did a $5 smashburger and it was great for the price. Loooved the wonton chips that came with the salmon dip. Great vibes, great happy hour, great service.

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!

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!

Absolutely loved the the smoked brisket at Loro! The silce were juicy , tender and parked with that perfect Smokey flavor. Paired with some sides and it was a total game changer. Highly recommend! Thank You 👍

Got the smokehouse sampler which was pretty decent. The oak smoked brisket was very tender and flavorful. The BBQ sauce that came with it was just okay. I preferred the brisket by itself. The pulled pork was slightly dry but well seasoned. I ended up mixing it into the crunchy cabbage salad and the acidity in the salad was a nice balance to the pork and brisket. The chicken wings were not as well seasoned as I would’ve liked. I don’t know if they were smoked but I didn’t taste much smoke on them. The crispy potatoes were delicious with the dipping sauce. Most of them were crispy but a little more crispiness would’ve made them even better. Overall, I may go back to try some of their other offerings.

This place is flawless. The food is impeccable, flavor amazing. The brisket.. holy cow. The lighting is great, the wood ceiling gorgeous. I love the counter ordering, no fuss fine dining vibe. A++

Love this place! Friendly staff & solid beer menu. Brisket 10/10 Salmon Rice Bowl: 11/10

Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar is a fantastic Asian/BBQ fusion restaurant that has quickly become one of my favorites. The menu is so unique, the drinks are great, and I will never say no to a visit to Loro. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Loro has a great natural feel with an indoor/outdoor vibe. There are open areas outside which is great for dining (if weather permits). Loro is very casual. While the food is as good as any upscale restaurant, shorts and sandals are welcome. 1 Star. Service - Inside is a huge bar, and you place your order here. Loro will give you a buzzer, and when your food is ready, a server will magically appear with your dish. They are fast, efficient, and super friendly. 1 Star. Food - Loro's menu shines because you can order a legit BBQ Brisket Sandwich along with friend Won Tons. Seriously. The Brisket Sandwich is my go to lunch item. Asian slaw is piled high on super tender Central Texas style smoked brisket. The Asian slaw has a sharp taste and when paired with the brisket, you then realize how complex and tasty the menu is. Loro also has rice bowls and ramen (on certain days) - all items are delish. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I have come to the conclusion that Loro is one of my favorite restaurants in DFW. When you combine Central Texas BBQ, Asian flavors, a great bar, and a casual setting, you get me as a repeat customer. 1 Star.

This review is for HAPPY HOUR! Overall I had a good experience. The prices were GREAT! I was happy, full and mostly satisfied. They offer multiple options for food and drinks. The vibe is cool and laid back. The staff is pleasant and friendly. In writing this review I have mixed feelings overall. I honestly need to go back for a second visit. I truly loved some things about happy hour. Other things were slightly off with consistency. Drinks: The frozen espresso martini was FUN! It was a cool DRINK. It had a good coffee flavor and was a pleasant surprise. This one gets 4 STARS. The Mango Sake Slushee was interesting. This one gets 3 STARS. Food: The smash burger tasted better than it looked. It really had a great flavor. It was tasty and I definitely would get it again. 4 STARS Smoked Wings were cooked to perfection. The only bad thing was the wings lacked in seasoning and flavor. Like it just seems as if the chicken wasn't seasoned at all. They just smoked it only. All I could taste was a smoked flavor. They do provide a tasty sauce. My first order they forgot the sauce. The second order I received sauce. So they just need to make sure they are consistent. I will go back for happy hour again. I will also try some other options on the regular menu. I also want to try their other location to compare. So this experience is to be continued! I will go back soon and make a final decision and determine what I really like. I wish I could give a half star. The experience was more like a 3.5!

The cheese burger was pretty good. It was flavorful but the cheese wasn't really melted. Still good though 7/10. However, something is wrong with the salmon dip. It tasted off and I only had a small amount of it. No one really checked on me either but l guess this isn't the kind of place for normal sit down service. This was all I ate that day and it gave me horrible stomach problems. do not order this item and I doubt I'll be back ...

This is our favorite date night spot. There is so much variety and I love the rotating specials. When they had ramen with smoked brisket it was to die for! To be honest we can't stop ordering the crispy potatos and the chicken karaage. Put it in my veins! I drink less now but in my prime I adored getting a double of their more fruity slushy with a Grand Marnier floater on top. Trust me.

Shockingly inconsistent food quality and service. I've dined in as well as placed orders to go and they've been less than stellar. Having been to the other Loro in East Dallas, I was really pleased with my experience there; so I tried this one since it's very close to my house. It's always a gamble eating at this location or placing an order because the inconsistency is the only thing that's reliable. Having had a nearly flawless experience at the other Loro sets the bar high, so it's unfortunate this location never lives up to the quality of its sister location. This most recent order was all around bad, and I wonder how a restaurant chain capable of great food is susceptible to such tolerances in quality? If I didn't have the East Dallas Loro experience as a benchmark, this location would've been a one and done for me. This most recent order was the worst yet, so I feel like it's time to put it out there that something is off. I placed my latest order online through The Toast app. As I pulled up to the online order designated parking spots, I called not once, but twice and no one answered the phone. I went inside and flagged an employee down to let them know I was here to pick up my food and it was given to me. Upon arriving home I was dismayed to find that the Shishito Pepper Queso was barely filled halfway. I had a bag of chips and very little queso to go with those chips. I ordered the Spicy Bangkok Chicken Bowl and the fried chicken was old and inedible. I don't know if it was fried and then refried or if it had just been sitting under a heat lamp for an excessive amount of time, but the chicken was so dried out, especially on the ends. I had ordered no red onions on both bowls (one for me and one for my husband) ordered and one of them was chock full of them. The rice in both bowls lacked that fresh zing synonymous with the Lime Rice. It tasted pretty flat. Also, the veggies did not taste like they had been brined long enough to give it a pickled flavor. The culinary alchemy that makes Loro dishes stand out was just not there. The meal was an overall regretful affair and I wonder how an establishment that I know is capable of delivering delicious and exciting food can allow this to be the output? I will happily go to the other Loro location if I'm ever in East Dallas, but this one is practically in my backyard and the tolerance of variation from the standard the other has set is just too great. I don't know when I'll feel ready to come back to this location, but it's just a shame that Loro has such exciting and delicious dishes, but this location somehow gets it wrong every time.

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.

I visited Loro for my birthday and I was super excited after taking a peek at the menu. When we arrived I was so impressed with the decor! It wasnt like a place I've ever been before. When you get in yiu seat yourself and then order at the bar. We got the smoked meat platter,queso with brisket, and a bowl. The food was just sub par. The smoked wings were lukewarm, lacked flavor, and came with this extremely watery blue cheese that had the consistency of milk. I was not at all impressed. The brisket was delicious and very tender! My son was not blown away with his bowl, but he ate it. I was looking to have an incredible experience with lots of delicious flavors that I hadn't ever experienced. This unfortunately was not the experience I hoped for at all.

Wanted to try a new place with coworkers and the vote brought us to Loro! When you walk in, you order at the counter before finding a table. I did the Lunch Two Step with the crispy chicken sandwich and potatoes for the side! Side was a good portion and the chicken sandwich was spicy! Decor was cute, a lot of co workers and friends sitting around chatting. I will definitely be back to try something new next time!

Loro's always a good choice for us! Fast casual but really solid flavors. Order at the bar and food comes to your table. They usually just bring whatever is ready first rather than any particular flow or all together but the food usually comes out fast. We've tried a lot but our recs usually are... Shareables: chicken karaage, wonton chips and dip (I miss the orange sauce though), smoked shishito queso Sides: Texas sweet corn, sesame rice noodles Rice bowls - coconut rice is so good but wish there was more protein for the price point Sandwiches: crispy smoked chicken is my go to, smash burger is solid Honestly everything's good I'm just listing the menu now lol

Happy hour at Loro! Great drinks for 5 dollars each! We all shared the salmon dip which is 7 dollars during happy hour and let me say it's sooo good!! For drinks got the yuzu sprits, espresso martini, frozen hot chocolate, and Mango Sake!

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!

We came here on a Monday night for dinner. It is very dimly lit once the sun goes down. I think this would be a great spot to eat while the sun is still up since they have tons of big windows. You order at the bar/counter and they will bring the food to you. A bit confusing for first timers like us but someone quickly explained the process to us once we entered. The Malaysian chicken curry and potatoes were our favorites. The chilled noodles you could definitely skip. Brisket is offered after 4pm and it was not bad but won't be the best brisket you'll have in Texas by any means.

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.

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

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!

Wait a minute. How have I not written a review on Loro? Ugh, shame on me. The only reason why I do not come here more often is because I live so far up north. However, when I am in the area, I definitely like to come visit, especially during happy hour. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - Good sized restaurant with great lighting. It has a nice bar setup with plenty of tables. Staff - 5/5 - Friendly and attentive. They were able to provide great recommendations as well. Food/Drink - Ordered the following (HH is from 2-6 PM M-F): Smoked Salmon Dip - 5/5 - $6 - Highly rec. Who isn't a fan of smoked salmon? Green Curry Hushpuppies - 3.5/5 - Couldn't really taste the Green Curry Smoked Wings - 5/5 - $9 - I guess you can say I am a fan of anything smoked. I had to go light on the blue cheese. Thai Curry Sausage - 5/5 - $7 - Great flavor on a potato roll. Really enjoyed this. Caramelized Onion Cheddar Burger - 5/5 - $9.50 - The Yuzu 1000 island was great. This was a great, great burger. Highly rec. Overall, this is one of my places to go to and will be back.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

My partner heard about this place from a coworker and we decided to head here for date night. The patio is impressive with lots of space for outdoor seating. The atmosphere is impressive and I overall enjoyed the way this restaurant operates. But I definitely placed too high of an expectation when it comes to food. If you are looking for "Asian inspired" dishes, this is a place for you, but bluntly speaking it is not authentic Asian food. The biggest giveaway was the fact that I, as an Asian, noticed there were no other Asians in the restaurant, The food doesn't taste like real Asian BBQ, but I can see why this place would attract people who 1) enjoys the atmosphere 2) enjoys the idea of trying Texas BBQ with "Asian cuisine", although if you ask for my opinion, I really think you should simply go to real Asian BBQ/restaurants for high quality, traditional dishes. I tried the spicy ramen and for the price it was ($18.50)- it's not worth it. I'd head to places like Jinya Ramen, Hakata Ramen and Hanabi Ramen for better quality and price. Crispy Potatoes was OK. It has a very unique taste but not something I'd try again, a bit dry. Their best dish was the Brisket Smoked Shishito Queso. Definitely a very unique blend of tortilla chips with kimchee furikake. Very tasty and I wouldn't mind ordering it again. My partner also enjoyed the Coconut Scented Rice. Needless to say, while the concept and blend of cuisine is impressive, it is simply isn't for me. A good date night and hangout spot though

The most unique flavors in bbq that I've ever tasted. Absolute go-to anytime I'm in Addison. Excellent and fast. Great casual atmosphere.

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.

Corn fritters were a winner. Meat sampler plater was overpriced. None of the other sharables impressed me or my wife. But my daughter and husband seemed to enjoy. Service was efficient.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!!

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!

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 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.
