Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar

Loro has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. The first time I went was with a group of friends, and everything we ordered was incredible. There was even a wedding dinner of some sort and they surprised us with some complimentary appetizers, not sure if it was related, but it was definitely a nice touch and honestly made the experience even better. The setup is a little different than a typical restaurant you order at the bar instead of with a waiter, and then they bring the food out to your table. They have both bar seating and regular dining tables, and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating depending on the weather and time of the day. I've been back a second time by myself, and to no surprised the food was just as good. I also love that they switch things up with new menu items and different drinks every so often, so there's always something new to try. The staff has been super friendly every visit too. The only real "challenge" is parking since it's usually pretty packed, but I've always been able to find a spot in the back after a short walk. Definitely worth it, I will definitely be coming back. If you're thinking about trying Loro, DO it you won't regret it.

Pros: plenty of seating, outdoor seating, amazing meats, fantastic brussels sprouts, great yuzu soda Cons: essentially no parking, very loud Their turkey breast was some of the best turkey I've ever had in my life. Tender, moist, flavorful, smokey, savory. The Brussels sprouts were also really good—perfectly charred on the outside, great sauteed flavor. The Bangkok Spicy Chicken bowl was less impressive, but still good; it wasn't spicy at all, but I did like the kaarage chicken, the coconut lime rice, and the dry, crunchy “slaw” (more like plain julienned raw papaya) was ok. Their yuzu soda is outstanding. Inside it was so loud I had trouble hearing anyone, outside was more manageable, particularly in the back where the parking is. Really cool restaurant concept. Food is great. Fighting for parking is just not worth it though.

April 2026: Came here for a team dinner with my coworkers. Had a fantastic dinner. I didn't know that they have Franklin's BBQ brisket here. Was very pleased. Some highlights: won ton chips, corn 🌽 fritters, chicken karage, brisket, turkey, salmon. My favorite sides were the rice noodles and the coconut 🥥 scented rice. Good beer 🍺 selection. I had a St Elmos hazy IPA. Would definitely come back again for more delicious food.

I dine alone and the brisket is good! It has the flavor from Asian cuisine mix and it turn out above my expectation ! The noodle is delivious as well, kind of glass noodle texture.the home made yuzu soda is good as well! The atmosphere is happening as well. Everything turn out great here.

Went with a large group for lunch! You order at the bar individually and then they bring you your food! …
