A collaboration between Aaron Franklin (Franklin Barbecue) and Tyson Cole (Uchi), Loro is an Asian smokehouse that blends Texas BBQ technique with Japanese and Southeast Asian flavors. The smoked brisket fried rice, brisket burnt ends, and coconut cream pie are essential orders. It's a more relaxed, walk-in-friendly experience than either parent restaurant, with a great outdoor space and craft drinks.
