We ordered: Hong Kong milk tea - good, no complaint Chicken wings - arrived after our entrees. It looks delicious but was bland, really lacking flavor and undercooked. Uni pasta - I loved it the last time I had it. This time, not so much. The noodles were still al dente but the sauce was too thick and sea urchin was overcooked. I didn't really get to enjoy this dish! Sizzling Steak - we asked for the sauce on the side. But the dish was not sizzling and the plate wasn't even hot. The steak was tender, noodles al dente, but the sauce lacked flavor as well. I couldn't really tell what sauce I was dipping into. Service is fine, considering there was only one waitress and only two other small parties while we dined. Unfortunately, I think this would be my last trip here, considering that the one dish I crave from here, sea urchin pasta, no longer tastes right. So sad.

The food wasn't bad, but also nothing amazing either. While prices throughout their menu varied, it just doesn't feel like there was anything that stood out or provide value. It is definitely an alternative to the wide array of more traditional Asian cuisine in the area.

I'd say the thing that was at the bottom was the salmon dip just because I couldn't taste much salmon. But everything was seriously really good.

Victoria was serving me about halfway through my meal and she was lovely. Ambiance - 8/10 it's on the loud end just because it's hard surfaces everywhere but it's still pretty. That modern tone to everything. I wish there was more regular seating instead of a huge bar but it's not bad. I'll come back because I love Loro. The servers are always lovely and I never have a bad time.

I finally made it over to Loro Asian Smokehouse, and overall, this visit was about a 3/5 for me…read more I started with the Frozen Espresso Martini, which was probably the highlight. I'd give it a 4/5. It was smooth, refreshing, and definitely something I'd order again. For food, I tried the Thai-style smoked wings. These were a 3/5 for me. They weren't bad, but I was expecting more flavor, especially more seasoning and SMOKE! When I hear "smokehouse," I want to taste it! The crispy potatoes were a 4/5. They were super crispy and tasty, and honestly, probably the closest thing to a French fry on the menu. Lol! I'd definitely get those again. Overall, nothing was terrible, but nothing really wowed me either. Maybe I caught them on an off day. I might double back and give Loro another try at some point...but it'll probably be a minute.

The Rice Box on 20th is a solid option if you're looking for quick, very Americanized Chinese food…read morein the Heights. It is very much a chain restaurant, and it has that polished, standardized feel to it. I've eaten here a number of times, and while I wouldn't say the food stands out above some of the other Chinese restaurants in the area, everything I've had has always been good. I've never gotten anything that tasted bad or had an order come out wrong. It's just consistently solid. One sleeper hit on their menu, though, is the lava buns. They're warm egg custard buns like you'll sometimes find at dim sum places, and they are really good. Honestly, they're probably one of my favorite things here. I've even stopped by after already having dinner just to get an order to take home for dessert. They're definitely best hot, so I'd recommend eating them pretty quickly. The design of the restaurant is probably more memorable than the main food. They really committed to a specific industrial, techno-chic look with neon signs, animated menu boards, exposed metal, acrylic panels, textured wall details, and movies playing by the bar. The theme is carried throughout the whole place really well. At the same time, all of the metal and harder surfaces can make the inside feel a little cold and unwelcoming. There isn't much traditional indoor seating. Most of the seating inside is at the bar, with additional tables outside under some shade. Because of that, it's probably not my first choice for sitting down for lunch during a hot Houston day, but it works really well as a pickup or takeout spot. The staff has always been friendly, and they have a good system for getting people in and out. The parking lot is a little small, but since a lot of people seem to be picking up food, spots turn over pretty quickly. Overall, The Rice Box is convenient, dependable, and does what it does well. It definitely feels like a chain, but the design has a strong personality and the food is consistently good. It's not my favorite Chinese food in the Heights, but I've never had a bad experience here. And the lava buns are absolutely worth getting.

The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

First of all, Friday night, sure I expect it to be busy, I also (as a previous server AND bartender) expect 2 servers to be able to handle about 10 tables. It's not even that fkn big on the inside to be waiting 10 minutes for just WATER. Terrible management if you also can't anticipate that you'd need more than 2 servers for 10 tables. I didn't even get to eat at this location, I just left. I had my baby with me, it's taking 10 mins for no water, it's gonna take forever for everything else. Not only that, the server literally went to the table that came after us to greet them before us. So no greeting, no drinks, no water, like atleast thanks for bringing the highchair. Btw I also saw 2 dudes get up from their table to refill their own drinks. Nice ambiance, very small on the inside.. so small but 2 servers can't handle btw. Do what you want w this information, I would prefer sushi masa over this bs anyday.
