    Pretty average Asian buffet. Lunch is $13. Per person weekdays, more at night and on weekends. One unique feature us a bat with a variety if raw vegetables and meats. You collect up what you wNt on a plate and then give it to thy chef who stir fries it all together for you on a huge Hibachi grill. Otherwise there are several buffets featuring different classes of foids, salad, and desserts. The desserts were traditional Asian, plus a soft serve machine that had both chocolate and vanilla frozen milky product. Mote like an ice milk than ice cream. The quality was OK buy nothing or remember or to return for. The sauces had the generic label taste that generally doesn't appeal to anyone. Of course a buffet is all self service, but a waitress removed dirty dishes from the table and kept our water glasses filled throughout the meal. The ambiance was that of a strip mall place that was probably a cut above once upon a time. It would have been more appealing had there not been boxes of supplies stacked against the wall in the entrance. It is clearly showing its age, but it was clean.

    Food.

    The buffet has crab legs. Really, pay 13 dollars and you can have unlimited crab legs. Other place can't beat the price.

More reasons to break out of the house: HIGHLY DECORATED & AWARDED by INFATUATION, EATER, AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN & CHOWHOUND. Texans will love the heat on the CHONGQING MALA CHICKEN with LOTS of jalapeño & Sichuan pepper, but there's little dimension to the flavors beyond HOT, HOT, HOT! EGG ROLLS are satisfying with a traditional sweet & sour. VERY impressed with a BEEF BRISKET & RADISH SOUP - a rich yet delicate broth cradles simple ingredients, the radish absorbing hearty flavors but maintaining nourishing vegetal properties. I love the way they "KEEP AUSTIN SPICY" and am looking forward to some house specials upon return.

My boyfriend and I came here because of the great reviews, but unfortunately our visit was nothing like we expected. From the moment we walked in, the experience was disappointing. The host literally pointed to our table instead of walking us to it, which immediately felt unwelcoming. No one introduced themselves or even told us who our server was, so we never knew anyone's name throughout the entire meal. Throughout our meal, no one checked on us even once, and we had to flag our waiter down multiple times whenever we needed something. Plates and drinks were also repeatedly slammed down on the table, which came across as rude and unprofessional. Every interaction felt rushed, and the staff acted like they were annoyed we were there. The customer service was awful, and it made for a really unpleasant first experience. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

    This review I dug up is from a while ago, things may have changed…read more January 2020 was my first time at Loro in South Austin. My companion and I went at 5 PM on a Thursday. There is a parking lot that was pretty full but not completely. Once inside, we took seats at the back bar where a buddy suggested we sit for faster service. We had menus and water within minutes, and our bartender was attentive the whole time. We ordered a mix of dishes that had been recommended and a couple more: Oak grilled Snap peas, Coconut scented Rice, Chicken Karaage, Tomato and Cucumber salad, Smoked Prime Bavette Plate, Smoked Beef brisket plate, and Chocolate mousse. For drinks we got Thai Berry smash and Mandarin Margarita. Overall, there was good flavor in all the dishes, with well-paired flavor combos, which is the standard Hai Hospitality sets. However, some dishes didn't have as bold flavor as I was hoping. The Chicken karaage could have been bolder. Surprisingly, the Tomato and Cucumber salad had more flavor than expected. The Prime Bavette and Smoked Brisket were great, though a bit pricy. Both of the drinks were excellent, but only got one each as we're not big on spending on alcohol with dinner. Normally I'd go to this type of place with high-end satiation expectations, such as at Uchiko, where actually filling up would cost a lot so I don't fill up and plan to eat a couple hours later. However, we were both full after eating the above, and even had a piece of brisket and some rice to take home. For the quality, the value is there. The service was great, the bartender checked on us multiple times, and gave us updates on what dishes were left to come out once we were about two-thirds through our order. Each time a dish came we got a refresher on what it was from the server, which I like. The place was about 1/3 full at 5 PM and 2/3 full when we left at 5:45 PM, with the volume-level rising. The speed and quality of the meal taken together is excellent-- we were in and out quickly and enjoyed our fine dining. The restaurant was a bit dark; I could read the menu fine, but one older gentleman had to use his phone to see the menu text. At the end of the meal, a small gift card helped lower the price so it was under 100 out the door. We ended up being very happy with the food and experience-- it was great, but it wasn't amazing solely because a couple dishes needed their good flavor to be bolder. No single item wasn't good, and a couple were exceptional, so I'd easily recommend this restaurant and would like to go back.

It's great to bring a groupbof people or out of towners to experience the food this place has to offer. I tried the burger and honestly it was one of the most tasty burgers I have in the Austin area. I wasn't too bloated afterwards. My friends ordered some noodles with some side meats to go along with their noodles. Their beverages are very tasty and yes they offer sodas and beers. They even offer some great non-alcoholic beverages. I highly recommend trying this place out. I will say parking is a pain no matter the time of day.

Highs: My fav, the Beef & Broccoli, is tender, flavorful, and perfectly coated in sauce, and the broccoli? Somehow crunchy, yet soft. While I enjoy the Egg Drop Soup, I could do without the peas... The lunch specials are a steal: you get a slightly smaller portion of the entrée and rice or lo mein, and it comes with an egg roll. The portions are generous and the prices are lower than most spots in the area. Lows: The Walnut Shrimp: too much mayo and breading for my taste

Glad to say they ended on a high note. Atmosphere: Tatsuya always nails the theming with that street Japanese style decor.

Food: If I recall the menu's did change a bit, I recall them having this flip over style but now they opted for a more simplistic one sheet style menu. With that said I ended up with the Sukiyaki, delicious. With some flank and A5 meats so I could experience all styles, this combined with the bit of truffle dipping, so so so good.

My parents barely speak English, so kind of wasn't necessary to teach us how to dip the stuff in hot water for each thing. You can upgrade to a premium plate on some of the courses which is absurd since the bill came out to be over $100 per person and we didn't order drinks!! No one should have to pay this much for boiled food. Even the normal menu was kind of over priced. The only redeeming part of this was the interior was nicely decorated to a bamboo Japanese style. But that shouldn't matter with all else.
