PaoApril 21, 2018oak smoked salmon , green Thai sausage, Malasia green curry chicken, Texas sweet corn & a Mango slushee saki! Yum! Great hangout
J CrowleyOctober 27, 2018Everything here is absolutely incredible. Come with a group and order *all* the meats, a ton of sides and share them family style. Oh, and that boozy mango slushy.
Alex PyatetskyJanuary 16, 2020More nice Azn restaurant than BbQ joint. Flavors of pork sausage on point, but not single best version of this. Smoked Bavette, really interesting, between bbq and steak. Cucumber+tomato salad=good.
Carl TydingcoDecember 6, 2019Good solo dining spot. Grab a seat at the bar to bypass the order line. Get the cha siu rice bowl. The tomato cucumber salad is also delightful.
Andrew CMay 28, 2019Very cool concept and great Asian/BBQ fusion cuisine (even tho limited meat menu at times)... skip wonton chips, but definitely order corn fritters and any of the available meats - esp the brisket
AmateurConciergeJuly 9, 2019Went for lunch and everything we ordered was good. Brisket and katsu sandos. The chicken option on the salads is perfectly done
HillarieMay 17, 2018The brisket is, of course, fantastic, but I was very impressed with the oak grilled snap peas.
Scott RocherDecember 30, 2019The brisket sandwich combines Asian slaw with Texas brisket to create something special.
KinoFebruary 16, 2019Loro was founded by the owners of Franklin's BBQ & Uchi in 2018. Happy Hour starts weekdays 2pm and includes a Cheeseburger special. Brisket available after 5pm. Pork Ribs available Sun-Mon after 5pm.- AmateurConciergeOctober 21, 2019A really good, no hassle counter service pan asian bbq spot where everything is pretty good. Be clear: it ain’t uchi and it ain’t Franklin’s tho! Def get ribs, popcorn. Meh brisket
Judith CharltonNovember 20, 2018Great atmosphere super ribs and brisket the coconut rice was delish so was the pickled cauliflower and sauce. Super menu with an Asian twist.
Katie BrownOctober 23, 2018We ordered brisket, pork belly, and ribs—the ribs stole the show. Great outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Liked it, didn’t love it.
LukeMay 8, 2018Veggies and sides are the sleeper hits. Still a few kinks to work out, but good service
Mikini WilliamsSeptember 13, 2021One of the best Happy Hours I've been to in Austin! Super tasty drinks and food and attentive staff.
Matt BarbourDecember 31, 2018I thought I’d love this place and it exceeded my expectations. Atmosphere, food, cocktails all top notch.
Everything we had was great. Recommend the bavette and chicken karaage!
- Everything is great, but I love the brisket, potato's and patio.
Those garlic noodles are my favorite, but the ribs are amazing too.
- AmateurConciergeSeptember 25, 2022Curry chicken is the best thing they have by a long shot. Wonton chips are good. Skip the burger. The pear salad is pretty disappointing.
Aaron StanushMarch 23, 2018Opens April 4th
- Pineapple FroyoJuly 11, 2021Incredibly overrated. It’s pretend Asian, and not very good at pretending…
- Pineapple FroyoJuly 11, 2021Corn fritters were chewy, the noodles lacked taste, the oak smoked salmon was overly flavored. Totally missed every mark. What happened?

Thomas Knüwer - 8.3
"#5 in Texas monthly’s 50 best and deserving of it. Loved the moist brisket and barbacoa, and super inventive sides like the chile frito pie, kimchi, and braised cabbage. Great atmosphere at Cosmic."
Noah Weiss - 9.0
"This place is phenomenal. One of the best BBQ joints around Austin. A rare place where even the lean brisket is great as are the sides and free beans. Highly recommend."

"Best burger in Austin. Sweet potato fries with curry ketchup are perfect."
Vic Vicario - 9.1
"A spacious, welcoming watering hole with communal tables and a two-tiered patio with twinkly lights. The Stuffed Portabella is baked to perfection and a tasty complement to the rotating beers on tap."
