    I keep trying to love this place and it keeps coming up short. I get the concept, and I like the space, but I find the food is always just short of greatness. Maybe it's the price, or the portion size. Maybe it's a bizarre mix of flavors that while technically "fusion" don't necessarily fuse. I leave this spot to the hip new Austinites who seem to love it so much

    We just happened upon Loro at Happy Hour and boy were we impressed with the happy hour specials. Pulled pork sliders, wings, salads and drinks for four guys and cost was less than $80 including tip. Can't beat that happy hour deals for $5...food was delicious and bartender was super informative. We enjoyed the day out in the deck and really enjoyed the experience. Would gladly do so again next time I'm in town

    To be honest we were a tad underwhelmed. The food was good, but not great. The happy hour specialty drinks were good and the beer was cold. Service was standard. What we didn't enjoy, and I guess kudos to them, it was extremely busy and very noisy; hard to enjoy the meal if sitting inside. Would we go back. Perhaps.

    I tried to reach a team member, but she couldn’t hear me. There was a cover band tonight my dog and I went to see the vendors but the music was deafening it was absolutely ridiculous. I had to leave with him we planned on potentially eating but there was no way we could. I have had Loro through catering maybe 7 years ago and I wanted to go try it again but this turned me off completely. I live next but I don’t think it will ever go back now. The manager needs to he accountable on who hey are bringing to their restaurant.

    Great dining experience. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating options. Fast, efficient service model. Tasty Asian fusion dishes. Recommended dishes: - Chicken Karaage - more like Korean style fried chicken, but was very tasty. - Arugula & Melon Salad - seemingly strange combination was surprisingly good. - Char Siew Pork Belly - tad sweet but bursting with flavor - Sesame Rice Noodles - was an excellent companion to balance out the strong flavors of the Char Siew
