Tasty to-go dinner! I got half japchae noodles half veg with the spicy chicken. Lots of yummy toppings to choose from! I got the magic sauce to top it off. Everything tastes nice and it's a fun way to customize a Korean-inspired meal. It's a pretty large serving, could be two meals depending on how hungry you are. Also the worker purposely spelled everyone's names funny, which was pretty entertaining. read more

Chi'Lantro - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

We ordered the kimchi fried with spicy pork and the korean esquites. The kimchi fries were good! Very loaded with toppings and sauce. The fries ended up more like potatoes but that could've just been due to the travel for delivery. Overall, the taste was good and savory/umami enough to satisfy a craving. The korean esquites were a miss for me. The corn was virtually tasteless and the texture was soft and not crunchy like how fresh corn is. The spices were also not flavorful enough. read more

Chi'Lantro is consistently delicious. Whether we are ordering pick up, delivery, or dining in, we experience the same high-quality and affordable Korean food. The freshness of the ingredients for the price is truly incredible for the Austin area. This is one of our go-to spots--we frequent it at least once every two weeks. I love the Korean beef with the magic sauce, and getting half spicy pork and half beef when I can't decide which I want! My husband and I both order a fried egg with our rice bowls every time. We get the Korean fried wings and fries for the kids, and both options are absolutely delicious. I'm putting 4 stars instead of 5 because of two things: 1. There are times when they don't put enough meat. I would totally order double but sometimes, there's enough, and other times, not so much. I think it varies based on employee. 2. The spicy pork is a little bit too spicy. I love spicy food--I'm an Afro-Puerto-Rican who grew up on spicy food. It's a part of who I am! That said, in my opinion, the spice overpowers the taste and skews the flavors a bit. But everyone is different! It's still good so if you want it, get half of it with another meat like I do :) We love Chi'Lantro. The food and the staff have always been a great experience. We will continue to come here regularly!!! read more

Oh my gosh, I LOOOVE Chi'Lantro. I ate here so many time last summer and came back today and it was the same great quality. What originally drew me in was the price. It's within walking distance of the Domain Northside, but is MUCH less expensive. I recommend getting the large ssam (burrito) or bowl. You can combine your base, but I love the noodles. If you like spicy, the spicy chicken is a great option, otherwise the soy glazed is good too. Get any toppings you want. And for the people that enjoy a little extra kick, put magic sauce on top. It can be loud and I sometimes have trouble understanding them when ordering, but I always end up with something that tastes delicious. Come here, you won't regret it. read more

Chi'Lantro - Create your own Create Your Own Rice Bowl - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

As an old haunt from my uni days, it was cool to see Chi'Lantro grow and expand into physical retail stores. But somewhere between then and now, a lot of the magic disappeared and what's left are memories, kim chi fries and a strange build your own Korean fusion bowlrito lineup. The problem being, it's not entirely sure how Korean, how Mexican and how fusion it wants to be and it's very easy to make something that isn't enjoyable, unlike other build your own bowlrito joints (a la Chipotle, Freebirds, etc.) Maybe the trick is to stick to what's premade, what's already been predetermined to be a good mixup of the ingredients laid in front of you, but I miss the days where you could order any taco, any burrito and you knew it was going to be a good time. I'll be back when I need my fix of their kim chi fries, a staple that I'm glad has stuck around since its humble beginnings, but otherwise Chi'Lantro will be another reminder to cherish the things you enjoy in the moment, and savor those new experiences before they change beyond your recognition. read more

Think asian fusion but Chipotle style and you get the concept of Chi'Lantro. Build your own bowl, pick your protein, toppings, sauce - freedom to customize. You can't, of course, forget their famous Kimchi Fries where you also get to pick your choice of protein. I got the spicy pork and the pork was superb, flavor is spot on for the marinade! My only feedback is I would prefer the fries to be more crunchy rather than mushy and limp. Overall, great place to get a healthy meal since you can pretty much build to your diet. Interior is fairly spacious but it was hot inside when we dined in - Texas is already scorching, we need that AC any time we can get. read more

A fun Korean-fusion spot located right next to the coffee shop Summer Moon. We stopped in for some kimchi fries to share for an afternoon snack -- I remember seeing the Shark Tank episode so was curious to try it out for myself! The food was really yummy -- if it hadn't been the afternoon, I definitely would've tried some of the build-your-own options but the fries were super tasty. There were lots of different flavors from the tofu, fries, sauce and more and it wasn't too spicy either (since sometimes kimchi can be). It's easy to dig in with a fork! There is plenty of seating in a super modern, and clean space -- would love to go back for a bowl. read more

Chi'Lantro - Kimchi Fries - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

We were out of town and were just a few doors down to grab some coffee (summer moon). We saw this a couple times on yelp so we were curious what was good. Everyone recommended the Kim chi fries. Guess what we got?? The KIMCHI fries!! LET ME TELL YOU! It was plenty for 10$. I shared it with my hubby and we were both pretty full after. With the kimchi fries, we added some ribeye beef + fried egg. If anything, I would ask them to lay low on the sauces. Go light with the sauces because the flavor of the ribeye was def where it was at. AMAZING AND TENDER Furnish was simply modern and clean! The way the run it is kinda like a build ur own bowl type feel. (Refer to my pics). Service was quick and easy! Love it read more

First ate at Chi'Lantro on Burnet in 2019 and adored their bowls with fresh ingredients and outstanding queso & chips! Then, was delighted to see them featured on Shark Tank and kept on eating there and rooting for their success while also returning to the Parmer and McNeil location. Now? Will not return. Had a $29 Door Dash delivery (on time and before tip) to receive a skimpy bowl with barely any food, missing chips, and cold thickened queso. This also happened for a previous order about a month ago. Ludicrous! Not sure what's going on there but am hopeful they will turn things around and offer better value to customers. read more

This place has totally changed!!! Last week wanted to eat kimchi, as it was long day, my husband wanted to go to this location as it's close by but I didn't want to, so he told we l just go inside n if we see same people/Person behind the counter, we l go to other burnet location. but to my surprise almost all were new faces so we thought of giving a try and made a right decision. People now are all good, they listen to you, greet you and food was amazing, I don't know the name but there is one big fella who was pleasant, smiling, welcoming and felt like he was loving to do his job. We were so satisfied with food and service we went again yesterday night. Keep up the good work guys!!! read more

This is for the food truck catering order. So the way it works is you order ahead and they just drive the truck to a set spot and you pick it up. The food was nearly cold by the time I got it. It is neat they are doing these things for neighborhoods, and I get it can be tough to cook on the spot, but this just wasn't the same Chi`Lantro I know. It had the taste and was ok once microwaved, but in the future I will probably just DoorDash my food. read more

Shrinkflation is alive and well at Chi'lantro. I'm very disappointed in the amount of chicken but especially the queso I was provided. The queso was filled barely over halfway. What happened? They did this last visit too and I had to ask for more because the thing used to be over 3/4 of the way full. The chicken amount was stingy as well. Very disappointing. The food is good but their prices are already high and now getting higher due to less food being provided. This needs to be corrected. read more

I usually love Chi'Lantro, specifically because of how delicious the tofu is. The following review and three stars reflect the tofu ONLY - the staff is always 5 stars, the restaurant is great and clean, and the food concept is great and easy to accommodate a variety of tastes. The tofu used to be small, crispy, and juicy and even my friends who ate meat would pick the tofu because of how great it was! Over the past few months, the location that we visit (Austin Domain) started making the tofu REALLY big, and now it tastes watery. Please bring back the small tofu, and press it or do whatever you used to that made it so delicious! Whatever the previous recipe was - please revert to that!!! The big tofu is not appetizing and is very watery. read more

I have seen this place around and decided to stop in on my lunch one afternoon. I got the Steak Bowl with Jasmine rice. Not amazing but very much not bad. Quick hot and tasty. The tea was not to my liking as it was not just normal tea and I do not like flavors in my Unsweet Iced tea. But that is my personal preference so I will not fault them on that. Nothing stands out among other similar places, (Chipotle, Freebirds etc...) Definitely give them a try and decide for yourself. read more

Healthy, fresh, tasty, and quick service! You cant find this combination often! This place has a great lobby too! Plants and art everywhere! I wish I hadn't eaten my food so quick or I would share a pic read more

Fast and Friendly service. Food came out fast and hot. Kimchi Fries with Korean bbq steak - wasn't my thing. I thought it tasted ok but the steak was salty and I thought the Kimchi could of been more flavorful. Korean Fried Chicken Wings - Crispy skin and tender meat. Definitely a must try. Asked for the sauces on the side so I could dip them. I like the Gangnam sauce but didn't care for the spicy ranch. I'd prob try one of their bowls next time. read more

Chi'Lantro - Kimchi Fries & Fried Chicken Wings - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wish we had something like this in our state! Such a good place and good idea! Like a chipotle but with a different spin. The burrito was amazing, only I wish they followed my request to add purple cabbage for some crunch. Their steak was very good, tender, and I love their flavor for the marinade. The fries were good too, although I would of like a little bit more of the toppings on them, as I eat some of the fries with the toppings I had a ton of fries left without any toppings left to eat them with. But overall flavor was great, great concept, cute place to get some great food without being in a sit down restaurant. read more

I came here for a dine-in lunch and I was very displeased to find myself eating with a plastic fork. Not only do I not really want to use plastic on my food, but single-use plastic is a huge pollution problem. This plastic just immediately goes into a landfill after annoying me throughout my meal and never biodegrades. What is the point of that? The food was good and the service was fine. But the plastic fork really ruined the meal for me. read more

A Korean spin, but not like anything I've ever had. One side has seasoned ribeye over French fries top with queso and a touch of cilantro. One side has a glazed chicken and one corner kimchee. It's really good!! Looks a bit odd, but I really like it and frankly I didn't know what to order. The staff was really helpful! They have other items I'd like to try! read more

Had never been here before and was curious. The set up is like Chipotle but with Korean food. The food was ok, and had an ok spice. My issue is that the server was rather stingy with the protein. I asked a question and I don't think he understood me. The protein we had, spicy chicken and regular beef were just ok... but there was plenty of open tables. Not sure I will return, but good luck to them. read more

I had a great first experience at Chi'Lantro! I have been wanting to try this place since moving to Texas and it is definitely worth the hype. I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and tender the chicken was. I went with the noodles and got most of the toppings. The magic sauce is truly magical. I also tried the sesame vinaigrette on the side, this is a little more potent with a strong vinegar taste. The kim chi added a perfect tasty crunch to the bowl. I will have to return for their well-known kim chi fries. read more

Their chicken and meats are cooked well (not overdone and seasoned right). I really liked their kimchi fries! I'd recommend those, you'll be a happy camper. read more

Ordered the Signature Tofu Salad (spinach) with a side of black beans. The salad was exactly as described, with lots of flavorful tofu. The beans were perfectly cooked and delicious, with a lovely garnish. Not a speck of styrofoam, and the salad didn't even need the carrot ginger dressing. Had there been a little more spinach in my salad, 5 happy stars for sure. read more

Yum! Not sure why I haven't been here more often, well actually I've gone to their food truck years ago and go the kimchi fries, and turns out kimchi is not for me so I wrote them off for a while. My friend had me go here with him for lunch while he was in town, and I'm so happy he made me go! The food is amazing! They have Rice Bowls, Salads, Noodles, and burritos. Of course they still have the kimchi fries, I haven't given those another chance though. I always get the rice bowl or noodles, I should really try something else, but these are consistently good so I can't break the routine. I can come here every week and not get tired. The food is quality! I love the options and combinations, I never have a bad experience here. Although the items I get adds up quickly. I don't go every day because it isn't a cheap lunch! I enjoy that the line moves fairly quickly. Parking can be a bit of pain here, but I usually find parking. I wish they had more seating inside, but it's understandable. Really wish there was a drive thru option because it could become my dinner spot too! Delicious and you must try it! read more

Chi'Lantro - Rice Bowl - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Friends took us here while on an Austin trip. This place is very similar to Chipotle but with a Korean twist. And I love Korean food, so I was definitively down to try. But it was definitely worth the try! Wish they would open one in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We bought a spicy chicken bowl and an order of kimchi fries to split between two people and it was more than enough food. We added an egg on both orders, which was an extra charge. But the egg definitely complimented both meals. Both the spicy chicken and ribeye beef were delicious choices of protein. We also were able to try some of their wings from a friend's order. And their wings also did not fail to please. The service was quick and friendly. They had limited seating but it was dinner time so they were busy. Would definitely come back the next time we're in Austin! They have several different locations in Austin. Would definitely recommend! read more

There's something for everyone! Chilantro started off as a food truck in Austin before it expanded to restaurants. The food here is mainly Korean food - but you have the liberty to make it as you like. I'm a vegetarian and love her ng their kimchi bowl or the bowl with fries as the base. Food - I'm a fan of their bowl with fries as base. The fry the fries fresh right in front of you so could ask them to crisp them a bit more. Load up the fries, veggies and yummy Magic sauce along with some spicy sauce and you're good to go. They have great teas too - I've tried their varieties and it's refreshing compliment to the food. Service - They are quick and friendly. If you keep going to same location, chances are they'll even recognize you. The restaurant is clean and not that noisy. Right off of burner and near the Domain, try this spot when you are in the mood for healthy but still spicy lovely food. Recommended!! read more

Came here because of all the amazing reviews I've been reading on Yelp. Sadly, I didn't get the same experience as everyone else. I had the rib eye tacos, Korean fries, wings, and a customized bowl with spicy chicken. The rib eye was SUPER salty. It was extremely overpowering that my eye was twitching when I bite into the taco. All I ate was the corn and grilled Kim chi that was on the taco because I came hungry expecting to eat something amazing The fries were cooked perfectly but the topping was alright. It had rib eye on top of it so I didn't enjoy it. The rice bowl mediocre. When I think Korean food, I think of rice in a super hot bowl and the rice here was cold rice so the experience was too relatable to a chipotle bowl but cost more. The wings was the better part of the meal. You can find better Korean fried chicken else where but of all that we ordered, this is at least edible. Gave it a two star because it was wasn't a horrible experience, just not a place I would go back to but at least I can say I experience it. read more

Chi'Lantro - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I used to always eat at chi'lantro (their other locations) bc my coworkers love it. It's super unique and one of the best korean fusion restaurants in austin. I've had their rice bowl at this burnet location a couple months ago and it was fine.... but today's chi'lantro experience completely shuttered my chi'lantro dreams.... and stomach. My friends and I wanted to pick up dinner before the fireworks and so chi'lantro happened to be a good choice bc everybody loves chi'lantro! So I picked up the food and brought it home. After each bite, I found hard brown rice (kind of like nurungji which is hard dry rice in Korean). I mixed it up again and tried 4 or 5 more bites bc maybe it wasn't mixed enough but I would still find the hard rice in my mouth. I ended up just throwing it away bc it wasn't worth getting brown rice rocks stuck in my teeth. No thanks. My first star goes out to their kimchi fries bc it is and will always be bombbbbb. Second star goes out to the pickled carrots/cucumber bc those were really yummy ^^b read more
