Loro BBQ stans, rejoice! The popular Asian smokehouse is opening a second location at the Domain on December 21. This means North Austinites no longer have to trek across town for baby back ribs and beef brisket.
The new Loro Domain will be helmed by chef Trevon Bland, who started his culinary beginnings as a prep cook at the restaurant’s South Lamar location. The menu will feature shareables, meats, sandwiches, sides and rice bowls. You can expect to find classic menu favorites, like crispy sweet corn fritters with habanero aioli, hoisin-glazed char siew pork belly and oak-smoked pulled pork sandwiches. New offerings include frozen margaritas and double smash burgers, layered with grilled onions, thousand island dressing and a touch of yuzu.
The space can accommodate up to 135 guests indoors, with an additional 82 seats available on the covered patio. To celebrate the upcoming grand opening and holiday season, Loro is hosting ten days of activations:
