“ Was coming here because a friend suggested it, I remember looking at the menu and not being 100 swayed towards anything. But when I got there and tried one item... we ended up ordering almost everything off the menu and loved every single bite! Now the food was amazing but let me tell you about the insanely friendly and awesome people that work there, the person who took our order would show up with some small sides that we hadnt even ordered because she thought it would pair well with what we were eating! Its rare to find service like this nowadays, the team here could pick up on the fact that it was our first time here and they were so happy giving us suggestions and pointing us in the right direction when it came to selecting our food! The food was amazing and combined with the service were definitely coming back! ”
“ Casual Asian style BBQ. Order at the counter and then the team brings out food when ready 10 15 Minutes depending on how busy. Plenty of seating. The burger is the sleeper dish here. Absolutely delicious. Cant go wrong with either burger. Ask for ketchup on the side because you dont get it by default. Parking is tight but thats par for the course in the Heights. Should only be an issue at busy times. ”
“ Wow! What a great experience! First, its a really nice atmosphere, very clean and comfortable. The bartender and person who took our order was so so nice, we ordered a burger and a chicken sandwich and debated about ordering the noodle side dish. We decided against the noodles in the end. However when we sat down, we received a complimentary noodle bowl to try and it was AMAZING! And such a kind gesture! Both the burger and the chicken sandwich were phenomenal, we will be back without a doubt! ”
“ Quickly has become my favorite restaurant in Houston. Fresh wholesome ingredients, incredible flavors savorysweetspicy combinations, anyone?, great casual atmosphere, and no reservationplanning in advance needed. You order at the bar and still get great service. I often see young children and babies with their families at the long communal tables, and people on dates in the banquettes works great for all types of occasions. Best part there are lots of delicious, filling vegetarian dishes. Sometimes the same dish will vary in taste, depending on the day, but thats what I expect when food is fresh. Thank you Loro! U ”
“ Asian BBQ ... the pork belly rice bowl was super tasty! They have nice selection of local craft beers. Cant wait to come back try more of the menu. ”
“ Top experience, food is amazing, i just had the best bbq ribs i have ever had in Houston, perfectly exdcuted, tender super moist, amazing flavor and perfect amount of heat. Staff was awesome, took the ribs 30 min before 4pm which is the time they start selling them. ”
“ Great food. Brisket is 100 legit. The way they bring food out is weird. You never know when or what order your food will come out. They just randomly bring it out when its ready. You may get an entree before your salad or appetizer. Still 5 star ”
“ Ive been to this location twice in the last couple months and its delivered both times! Im the type that appreciates good food, a welcoming face, and attention to detail with the atmosphere and vibe. I read some reviews that seem ridiculously critical, but upon reviewing the reviewers review history, it seems to be just that overly critical people. The food here is fire, the atmosphere is nice, and the employees are always getting after it. During my first visit, I ordered my first beer of the evening and almost immediately spilled it everywhere.... I felt terrible, but Michelle and Bee quickly helped me get a replacement drink and feel like I could get right back to my conversation with friends. They were truly helpful in making me feel welcome. They wouldnt even let me help clean and I really appreciated that awareness from them. Thank yall and Ill be back! ”
