Reviews for Loro in Austin, TX
Bleh. I wasn?t expecting to like this place and yeah I was right. Okay so it wasn?t bad! But definitely not worth the hype that... it was getting from almost everyone I know! Food was decent but nothing of a WOW factor. I think food can better executed. Iwas quite disappointed that they just threw in a bundle of cilantro and called it a day on the garnishes! Haha yeah, pretty muchall my dishes were heavily filled with cilantro or green onions. I love cilantro but not on every single dish! Pork belly 1/5 Iate one piece and called it a day. It was heavily drenched in sauce. Pretty much inedible for me. It was hella salty! I needed agood cup of ice tea after one bite. I think the sauce was just too over powering. With that said, I do like the fact that thepork belly was quite tender. Loro cheeseburger 3/5 Well it wasn?t bad! However it was poorly executed. The burger itself waslopsided. Ingredients weren?t evenly distributed throughout the burger. One side would have all the cheese and onion jam and theother side barely had any. I think it?s a good burger but nothing crazy. Wish it was cooked to medium rare and not well done. Itwas quite dry tasting even with the aioli! I do like their pickles on it though! Smoke oaked salmon bowl 3/5 okay I enjoyed thesalmon a lot! It was perfectly cooked, and had a nice charred or smokey taste to it. However, that was it for me. The fish saucethat came with it was okay. Not bad. But this dish itself was quite tangy! Citrus on top of citrus. It was unbearable. That tangjust kind of threw my taste buds off. The rice was soaked in a yuzu sauce, so that was already tart. Then there was all thepickled veggies underneath. Even the fish sauce had a tang. I think it was just too overwhelming with citrus for me. Maybe alittle more salt & spice. Less tang. Crispy potatoes 4/5 I liked it. Can?t go wrong with carbs. haha yeah and the aioli was onpoint. Probably my fave sauce from them. Can dip anything into it! Smoked brisket 3/ Read more
Loro Austin- I keep going back for one reason- the food, okay maybe the drinks, or maybe the ambience. Loro is always busy but... the 20 to 30 minute wait always goes by quickly. They have a big outdoor seating area with misting fans for those hot Texassummers. The pork ribs are a must and are only served on Sundays and Mondays. Brisket is also great. For apps, you gotta go withthe chicken karaage. There?s no way to try everything in one trip so make sure you plan out what to get the next time you go. Read more
Atmosphere was exceptional, great music, great vibes, and great people. They have so much space it's understandable why they do... not have reservations. Do yourself a favor and try something different from their Asian BBQ Fusion. Each meat is moist, tender,and unlike any flavor you have tried before. Read more
WORTH THE WAIT! Was surprised wait time was 45 minutes on a Monday night, but it was definitely worth it. Service is great and... food came out really fast. The pork belly bowl with coconut rice is delicious! Read more
A great Asian BBQ fusion restaurant and Bar. Great relaxed atmosphere where outdoor seating under trees and fans to keep you... tool. The food is delish. It?s family style sharing. You order at the bar and they bring it out to you. The bar also has agreat selection of alcoholic drinks. This is definitely a great spot for afternoon or evening hangout. We tried a fewdifferent dishes and none disappointed. I will say this place trend more hip and fancy. Read more
The vibe is relaxed and fun, the food is unique, and the service was friendly. The food was VERY well executed, and the brisket... was my fave. Even at 4:30 on a Saturday, the wait wasn't terrible, and there are plenty of spots to sit and visit with yourpeople. It was a little odd that the individual items came out at different times, but it wasn't a problem. It was a goodexperience and I plan to come back next time I'm in Austin. Read more
Arrived on a busy night as a solo traveler. Got a seat right at the bar facing the kitchen. All staff were attentive and kind.... The food and cocktails were outstanding! Unbelievable flavors. I enjoyed the Malaysian Curry Chicken and pickle plate with theMandarin Margarita to wash it all down. Read more
Cool place! Interesting concept. You have to order your food at the bar and get your own seats. The food comes fast. The frozen... drinks are pretty good! The food is good, but the portions are small. This would be a great place for dating or casual eatingAsian fusion. Read more
