The menu has a great variety of Asian-inspired barbecue, smoked meats, shareable plates, and sides, so everyone in our group found multiple dishes they loved. Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh, and the quality really stood out. The combination of barbecue and Asian flavors was unique without feeling overdone. Although I would reorder everything again, these are the following things that I still dream about: crunchy sweet corn fritters, char siew pork belly, smoked shishito queso, and smoked butcher's cut. The laid-back atmosphere made it easy to relax, share food, and enjoy good conversation. If you're visiting Austin with friends or family and want a place that offers delicious food, plenty of variety, and a fun, casual vibe, Loro is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back.

We came here for a small late lunch during a hot day and this place checked all the boxes. Plenty of seating options and we loved the AC. Both high chairs and booster seats available for kids. The char siew pork belly was very good. Nothing like barbecue pork belly or asian char siew, but somehow they made it work. Chicken karaage was what you would expect, similar to what you get at Japanese places. Portions are big. The sesame rice noodles were highly reviewed but kinda underwhelming. Sauce was surprisingly spicy and the sesame flavor wasn't super obvious. We also tried the rendang beans and rice, which was a creative spin. I enjoyed the curried beans with the fragrant coconut rice. Nice spot to rest, relax, enjoy a meal and drinks. Enjoyed our experience.

Went here during a weekend and it wasn't too busy yet, which was great. Got to sit down pretty…read morequick and looked at their huge menu of food. Decided on one noodle soup and one stir-fry noodles. The spicy beef noodles soup was great. Wide, chewy noodles in a somewhat spicy broth, great during those few days or weeks of coldness we get. The stir-fry noodles were great as well, the same type of noodles but with beef, onion, and tons of spices. The restaurant itself is a decent size with multiple tables for smaller ones to larger ones for larger parties. It shared a huge parking lot with other shops around it, so parking will not be an issue here.

I got Chinese eggplants in garlic sauce and sesame chicken, both come with white rice. Eggplants were good, but I wish they were spicy. Sesame chicken was also good, but I had to eat only half, after finding a couple of not appealing pieces. Refer to picture below. So anyways, I would recommend, but I don't think I will be eating there in the future.

Wow! Either Bo Asian has stepped up their flavor profiles or the chef last night was on fire!…read more Everything was incredible last night. We got General Tso's Chicken, right amount of heat when we chose very spicy. Kung Pao Chicken at medium spice was still spicy enough to hit our taste buds. Char Siu Chinese BBQ Pork Fried Rice had the right kind of heat and was so good makes me not want to buy any other kind of fried rice. Mandarin Style Beef also had a hit of spice level that was yummy! We got chicken egg rolls and a free chicken low mein as well to round things out. By far the best experience I've had with Bo Asian. We picked up our order on the way home and it was ready in 10 minutes after placing the order online. Epic! A pic from my plate is attached.

What a pleasant place to dine at. My husband and I were looking for some Asian-fusion place and we…read moreare so glad we came across this place. More of a diner/casual place and I can see people coming here for social gatherings. Wouldn't recommend for very large parties though. There is parking behind the restaurant and since the restaurant isn't that big, I don't think it would take long to find a spot. You definitely get what you paid for. We got the hanger steak and chicken and it was more than enough. We got some appetizers because we thought the entrees wouldn't be filling enough but were so wrong. And surprisingly, the main entree entree chicken wasn't dry and pretty flavorful. The steak was also cooked well - wish there was more flavor but the condiments complimented it very well. I would also get the umami wings (well cooked and great flavor). Service is A plus - the workers were all very attentive, personable, answered any questions we had. We had a mishap with our bill and the (I think?) manager was so nice and accommodating. They also have different specials depending on the day/week! Will definitely come back anytime I come back to Austin.

Our server explained the owner's backstory, inspiration, the menu, HH, and the portion sizes. The charred Brussels sprouts were crispy and flavorful. The chicken wings were done in a spicy Szechuan Thai sauce. Very delicious. The Pork Buns were a home run. It was easily the biggest piece of Pork Belly I've ever seen on a bao bun. It was extremely tender and the sauce on the bun complimented it very well. It was my birthday and the wait staff gifted me an Ice Cream with Rice Paper Wafers. If I remember correctly, it was called a Thai Movie Theater (could be wrong). Ice cream was drizzled with chocolate, caramel, and fish sauce. Unique, unlike anything I've had before. The Rice Paper Wafers gave it a nice buttery crunch. Wonderful service. Wonderful food. Highly recommend and I will be back!

The fish taco was especially delish and fresh with the flavorful fresh Vietnamese herbs. Our son also got the brisket tacos from the kids menu and to our pleasant surprise, they aren't drenched in fat this time. Previously, they drip out fat when he picks them up but it is pmt he drier side this time but the meat is still moist and flavorful. Our waitress was incredible and also treated us with a complimentary Thai tea bingsu to celebrate my birthday. The dessert was yummy and a perfect way to end the meal.

The katsu chicken bowl was not great. Chicken was dry, and not very hot. Egg was cooked well but didn't really balance with the curry. It needed a pop of acidity somewhere, but just didn't have it. The food I give a 2, pushed it up to a 3 bc of the playground for the kids. Overall, given the reviews my expectations were too high. This place is okay.

I met one of my best friends for her birthday dinner at Loro in The Domain, and since it was her…read morerestaurant of choice, I was excited to join her. This Asian smokehouse definitely lives up to the hype. Since we had more adventures planned for the evening, we decided to keep dinner on the lighter side. Loro's menu combines Asian-inspired and Texas smokehouse flavors, creating a unique and delicious dining experience. The atmosphere is casual and inviting. We placed our order at the counter, and somehow the staff magically delivers everything to the correct table...without numbers, flags, or those little buzzing gadgets. I'm still trying to figure out their secret. We especially enjoyed the open seating, modern décor, and communal dining concept. The indoor-outdoor layout is especially appealing during Austin's cooler months. For dinner, we ordered the wings, Brussels sprouts, and salmon bowls. My friend happily claimed most of the wings, as they were a little crispier than I prefer. The Brussels sprouts, however, were excellent...crispy, crunchy, and finished with just the right touch of sweetness. The true highlight were the salmon bowls. The salmon was perfectly charred and packed with flavor, while the coconut rice added a rich, slightly sweet complement that tied the dish together seamlessly. Loro delivered a fun, flavorful dining experience and proved to be an excellent choice for a birthday celebration.

Loro was recommended as a nicer Asian restaurant…read more We first got there and were slightly confused by the layout with a host stand outside and learning that was only for outdoor seating and that we had to go inside, order at the counter, and find a table. Credit to the restaurant as we only found one available table. We ordered a smash burger and the smoked salmon bowl. We weren't a fan of the herbs but I'll attribute that to personal preference. The smash burger was good, however, I feel the burger was not worth the price. The burger did not include a side and while good, I felt was more expensive than what it was worth which is what lowers my score. Overall, it felt like fast food with ambiance at sit down restaurant prices.

I uploaded their recent menu items as they have a new staff and are still in the process of training them to serve their whole menu again. My personal favorites that I get on rotation each time I come are the Banh Cuon w/ Pork (Vietnamese Rice Cake), Large Banh Xeo (w/ no squid), and Com Ga Di Bo (Rice Plate w/ Boiled Chicken). I always order a side of Goi Cuon Nem Nuong with my respective entree as well. The Sugar Cane Juice is absolutely delicious, fresh, and not too sweet. The service here is always friendly, attentive, and timely. Nice relaxing atmosphere with television and restaurant music for your dining experience. Definitely recommend for all my fellow Vietnamese food lovers!

I ordered their pho with meatball and 2 orders of their beef on the side. Their pho only has one size which I assume is their large, cuz it's huge! It comes with 3 meats of your choosing. I thought I ate a ton, but when I was close to full, it looked like I didn't eat any at all. My husband ordered their B1 grilled pork and fried eggroll vermicelli bowl. Safe to say, this place has texas sized portions! We will definitely be back cuz I always crave pho when it's rainy season. There were only 2 servers who were constantly running around, due to a large party; but they were very attentive. Lots of seating, pretty spacious restaurant!
