Review of Loro – Austin by TexasRealFood
Loro is a "casual" Asian smokehouse restaurant founded by two award-winning chefs. It boasts a "spacious" dining space furnished with wooden fittings, a covered outdoor patio complete with picnic tables, and a "relaxing" full-service bar adorned with high-top tables paired with bar stools. The menu showcases "rich" flavors of Southeast Asian fare, featuring bar food like "candied kettle corn", snacks like "crunchy sweet corn fritters", greens like "crunchy cabbage salad", sandwiches like "oak-smoked beef brisket", rice bowls like "Malaysian curry chicken", entrees like "smoked baby back duroc pork ribs", and sweets like "salted chocolate chip toffee cookie". Drop by on "happy hour", which runs 2-5 PM on weekdays, and enjoy special menu items and discounted beer, wine, and boozy slushies.
