Loro Houston

Loro Houston is an Asian smokehouse and bar in The Heights, a collaboration between James Beard Award winners Tyson Cole (chef of Uchi) and pitmaster Aaron Franklin (Franklin Barbecue), operated under the Uchi/Hai Hospitality group. The Heights location occupies a converted 1940s brick church, with a soaring dining room and an umbrella-dotted patio. The food pairs Southeast Asian flavors with post-oak-smoked meats and fish. For non-drinkers, Loro maintains a dedicated "Zero Proof" menu section rather than a token offering: house mocktails like the Strawberry Thai Basil Margarita (Ritual tequila alternative, lime, Thai basil), Spicy Cucumber (lime, yuzu, spicy agave), Ginger Cooler (yuzu, ginger beer), and Frozen Pink Lemonade, alongside packaged NA options including Best Day Brewing Kölsch and St. Agrestis Phony Negroni. A deep soft-drink list adds a K-Tonic collaboration kombucha on draft and handmade yuzu soda.
