Joseph, we sincerely apologize for this disappointing experience. Missing your brisket entree is completely unacceptable, and we're sorry you were left eating just sesame noodles and white rice. You deserved so much better, both with your order and the response you received when you called. We understand your frustration with how this was handled. This isn't the experience or service we want to provide our guests. We'd really appreciate the opportunity to make this right.

Customer ignored by staff and felt uncomfortable with payment policy

Business reply on Google

Home, we sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had during your recent visit. You're absolutely rightβ€”being busy is never an excuse for ignoring guests or failing to acknowledge them. We're sorry that Taylor and Dillion didn't greet you promptly and that our request for a card on hold felt uncomfortable, especially after already feeling overlooked. We truly value you as a returning guest, and this service fell far below the standard we strive for. Your feedback is important, and we'd like to make this right. Please reach out to us directly at [email protected] so we can discuss this further. We hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in us. Best regards, The Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar Team
