Loro Asian Smokehouse

Michael Benissan

We had a great time here for dinner and I would describe the overall vibe as laid back and welcoming with both indoor and outdoor seating. For appetizers, the chicken karaage and crunchy corn fritters were both flavorful with just the perfect crunch. The brisket ramen was delicious with a generous serving of ramen, which I appreciated. Special shout out to the staff for the outstanding service and recommendations.

I recently visited Loro Houston, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The space itself is open, modern, and welcoming — a perfect mix of Texas barbecue charm and Asian-inspired flair. I ordered the sampler and the Thai ribs, and both dishes were outstanding. The sampler was a great way to try a bit of everything — every bite was full of flavor, tender, and perfectly seasoned. You can really taste the creativity behind the menu, blending smoky barbecue with Southeast Asian spices.

I’ve been dying to try Lora Asian Smokehouse for months, so walking in, my expectations were high… unfortunately, the experience fell flat. 😞 First issue: the ordering process. The line was LONG, the cashiers moved so slowly, and they didn’t seem very knowledgeable about the menu. For a place set up as completely self-service—yes, you get your own silverware, water, etc.—you’d think the front end would be more efficient. Nope. ⏳🙄 Food experience: • Corn Fritters: These were not corn fritters. They were flavorless hush puppies. No sweetness and no seasoning… just a bland ball of fried dough. 😐🫤 • Ribs: The ribs were the only highlight. The smokiness was on point, and the BBQ sauce was fantastic. ✅🔥 But they came out cold, which instantly ruined what could have been an amazing dish. • Broccoli: This came out last—after I had finished eating. And let me tell you, I’ve had broccoli prepared a thousand ways, but lemon zest on broccoli? Absolutely not. 🤢🍋🥦 Lemon and broccoli do not go together. Please remove this from the recipe. Overall, between the slow service, the self-serve setup, and the disappointing food (aside from the flavor of the ribs), I have to give Lora Asian Smokehouse 2 stars. Definitely not worth the hype. 😬👎

Visited for lunch and the food was surprisingly good! Service, pretty much none since it’s self service. Unfortunately a lot of the smoked/bbq items I wanted to try are only available after 4pm.
