DELICIOUS!! This fusion food is so tasty! I really enjoy the flavors of the dishes at Chi'Lantro. I have tried the make your own rice bowls, noodle bowls, and fries! I like the concept of being able to choose what to put in my dish, it allows everyone to enjoy their dish, and the various options are not overwhelming! Ultimately, the Original Kimchi Fries are hands down my favorite dish here! The employees are also extremely welcoming, patient, and chill! They always give great suggestions when I'm indecisive. The restaurant is always clean and bright with natural lighting during the day. I enjoy the atmosphere! read more

It's hard to explain this place to someone who hasn't been here. The one way I thought of was saying the food of chipotle had a baby with panda express ? Maybe that's not even a good explanation. My advice to you is build your own bowl and pick out the ingredients you want to mix in. That's the best way for success here. For me I decided to try all of the sauces on the side for two reasons. One they like to douse the bowl in whatever sauce you choose and I typically like sauces for a little bit of flavor not to cover up the flavor of the dish. The second is because I wanted to be able to try all of them independently. I would say skip all of them. None of them are that amazing. But, be sure to get queso on your bowl because that will make a huge difference. If you mix the bowl right it has almost an umami experience. Every bite is somewhat of a different flavor and you don't get sick of it after three bites. With that being said, if you order the spicy chicken, make sure that you are close to a bathroom for the next day or two LOL. It's definitely worth it but there are some side effects. read more

Food is fresh and their service is fast, Norma has this place running on good atmosphere.

Love this place been here twice and they don't disappoint me when it comes to the food and the workers are so nice and friendly the vegan noodle bowl was so great keep up the great work read more

Food is always . Really appreciate the great customer service ! This is my go to spot for a great meal.

We came in the last thirty minutes of the shift and they hooked us up, right!! We are filled with lovely food. We took it to go, down the street and was fresh as it could be. Mad love y'all from Austin's finest. read more

I came here for a work lunch and got a bowl with japchae and almost all of the toppings and vegetables. We also split a loaded fries which was very appetizing. As a group of three, we were unable to finish the fries and I had leftovers with my bowl too. If you're looking for a sauce to try, I'd recommend the magic sauce, which is very mayo-based. It was really creamy and had a little bit of a kick which was a good additive to the bowl. I'd definitely return to Chi'lantro in the future for a decently priced filling meal. read more

I had higher expectations for this place and I was quite disappointed. It was not terrible, but it was not too good. I was honestly expecting more from this place. The kimchi fries were all cheese, barely any kimchi, and even fewer fries. The wings were alright, good but not the best. read more

Chi'lantro never disappoints I've been a customer for a few years now and EVERY SINGLE TIME! I go to any location and any food truck I get the same quality across the board. That's not easy to do but these guys have it figured out. The original kimchi fries is always my go too, cause I can't seem to order anything else. The fries are always right out of the fryer nice and crispy, and the ingredients are always fresh and the perfect ration amount not too much or less of any of the toppings, you get the perfect amount of each topping in each bite. I tried the wings for the first time and they are also really good. I'll probably have them cook the wings a little longer next time, I tend to like my wings a little crispier, but they were good. They're served with a spicy ranch that's really good. read more

Chi'Lantro BBQ - Original Kimchi Fries w/spicy pork a 6 piece wing. - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have ordered from here. The food is excellent and healthy, and the sauce is delicious.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant, and I enjoyed my experience. The food was really good, but Cole was even better. His great customer service is genuine, and you can tell he cares about his job from the way he played our meals to the way he maintains the restaurant's cleanliness while the line is empty. Knowing that a restaurant is being taken care of by people like Cole makes it easy to come back for future visits -- I will definitely be back! read more

Eh tried this place again after the first time wasn't very good (mixed up orders and not very good). This time around my ingredients were correct but the spicy chicken was pretty bland and doesn't look anything like what is pictured on their site. Call me a fool because last time I ate here I swore I never come again, but this time I promise I won't come back! read more

They were storing 3 large bags of jasmine rice in the bathroom floor near the toilet. I talked to the manager and explained this was a huge health code violation. They didn't care at all. 40 minutes went by and the rice was still on the bathroom floor. Photos attached. Rice bags highlighted yellow. read more

Chi'Lantro BBQ - Bags of rice stored on the bathroom floor. - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have used this location twice a month for the last 2 years. , never again. This last price increase is ridiculous. Every protein is now additional cost and nothing is included in base price, Portions smaller , bowls smaller , quality lower, while price gets more and more ridiculous. Owners need to start to consider what else the same amount of money buys at their competitors. This is basically a salad bar cafeteria that has lost sight of reality. So sad. I'm all for a business making a fair profit during these difficult times but this company has lost its grip what customers are going to accept. read more

Food is delicious. Had the Tofu bowl. Yummy! Friends made their own bowl. Magic sauce was great! We'll be back. Staff is really nice and helpful. read more

Surprisingly great flavor considering it looks like a chipotle but with Korean barbecue options. I got the bowl with soy glaze chicken and it was really good. The spicy ranch and the magic sauce are really good. It is sort of cafeteria style, build your own format for ordering similar to chipotle. Again, despite my hesitation with the format, it was really filling and very tasty. I will definitely go back and explore more vegetarian options too. I will say their basil peach lemonade is really delicious - not too sweet! read more

Hello, I am a regular patron at your Mueller location -- or at least I was. As of late, the service has been horrendous. I have recently been displeased with the service, but thought I'd give it another chance today. I got a burrito, and the person making my food put about 4 small pieces of chicken in my burrito. I asked for a "little more chicken," to which he obliged. However, at the end, he charged me for the extra chicken ($2). I get that you typically charge for "additional protein," but I was not asking for extra. I was merely asking for him to add more chicken so I could have the standard amount, because the amount he put in was unacceptable. In addition to that, I added queso to my order. I was charged $2, and the screen said "a small cup." I did not get a "a small cup" on the side, I ordered it as an addition to my burrito. On top of the burrito. I never said on the side. I am not sure how I could have made this more clear. And, on your website, it says queso is a $1 addition. I was way too tired to sit there and argue with the guy, but, in the end, because I also added avocado, I had a $14.50 burrito (from a mediocre, semi-fast food restaurant). Simply put, the service was unacceptable, and I will not return to the restaurant. Living at Sync at Mueller, I have seen many residents go to Chilantro for dinner. I have, likewise, heard a multitude of complaints about the piss poor portions (which, of course, is evidenced by my experience today). So, to recap: (1) poor portions, and (2) being overcharged (either because of malice, or simply stupidity). I went here almost every week, usually multiple times a week, in the fall. Yet, because of my recent experiences (perhaps due to new members of your staff) I won't be back, but I urge you to change your practices at this location. read more

Saw this place on a rerun of Shark Tank the other night so decided to give it a try while I'm town. Absolutely loved it and wish there was one in Dallas! Staff was super friendly and patient why we made our way through the ordering process. All three meals were super fresh and all the ingredients were top quality. Everything was seasoned well and we loved all the sauces we tried. Menu called out what was GF and what wasn't so it helped us out a lot. Drinks were very tasty also - the different lemonades added to the meal. Can't wait to come back!!! read more

I need this in my life. I tried this on a whim, it was amazing! I built my bowl under the supervision of very helpful and excited staff. The end result looked a mess but had my tastebuds singing in joy. Why are you not in Round Rock?? read more

Ordered half beef and half chicken and got charged for a full portion of beef ($3.96) and only got a HALF portion of beef. They told me that's how it works. I called corporate and they informed me that there's no "half" price charge. Ok no problem I'll take my business elsewhere. Food is mediocre at best and is nowhere near authentic Korean food. I will no longer patronize any of this companies establishments. read more

Food is always quality and the staff always friendly. Most definitely our fav pick up / to go spot in the Mueller area. Don't sleep on their fries! read more

My favorite thing about Chi'Lantro is all the different possibilities you can create with the fresh veggies and delicious proteins. My favorite meats are soy glazed chicken and ribeye beef, but the tofu is actually the best I've ever had anywhere. They offer a smaller size bowl if your feeling peckish but not super hungry and if you don't want a protein you can sub an egg, avocado or guacamole. The eggs are from a legit humane farm and you can tell! read more

I finally was able to eat at a sit down chi'lantro. The first time I had it was June 2015 and the guys recommended the Kimchi Fries. Best. Thing. Ever. 4 years later, I came back to Austin and found a sit down restaurant, brought my friends from out of town (Chicago, Iowa & California); 3/6 of us got kimchi fries and loved them. 2/6 got bowls & 1 person got a burrito. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was delicious read more

I love this place!! Some of the only food that tastes just as good on a hot day as it does on a cold day!! Service is always friendly!! The first time I visited, the worker took me through the line giving his suggestions and I have gotten the same thing every time since then!! Bad reviews shouldn't deter you from this place because they are definitely doing something right:) read more

the food was expensive like around $60 for just for 3 bowls and drinks. it didn't taste very good and definitely wasn't worth the price. Most likely would not come back but the staff were nice and it was clean. read more

I LOVE this place, food is always so good! Sofia was so welcoming too, definitely coming here again!

I like Chi'Lantro, I don't LOVE Chi'Lantro - you know what I mean? The food is always consistently good but the service at this specific location isn't the greatest. More often than not I've come in and there's a huge line and I'll see 2-3 people just sort of hanging out not helping. The soy chicken is good, and the kimchi is yummy. Portions are big. read more

Ordinarily, I only write reviews when they are very positive. But today, I have to say, I was looking forward to trying this place, and I will not be back. The food is MEH at best, the portions are PINCHE. Stood in line to spend that much for what amounts to a side salad ... I left hungry. I can name 100 places where you can get a better meal for less and be satisfied. Don't waste your money on this one! Better options at Mueller are plentiful. read more

A great fast casual place for a great price. Great beverages and a lot of options. I would not call it barbecue Persay though. read more

Went to the Barbara Jordan location. It was very busy with a line to the door. I ordered my food online. It was okay. I do not know that I will be back. I am not sure what the hype is. They say grilled corn but the corn is obviously out of a can and not grilled. Food lacked a lot of flavor. The only thing that had any flavor was the spicy pork and it was full of gristle and fat read more

I love this place delicious food, so fresh and yummy. Wish there was one in Oak Hill. Love your soy chicken.

HUGE THANK YOU to the crew over at the Mueller location for hooking me up tonight. Mario, Gabby and Jonathan, I greatly appreciate your kindness and enjoyed the delicious Kim chi fries w/ ribeye and the yummy wings. The customer service is outstanding, restaurant is well kept and clean and the food is amazing!!! I wasn't aware that it's only a cash based establishment but they were kind to feed me anyway!!! I really appreciate that bc my lunch break is short. Thank you again for making my life easier today. A girls got to eat, I'm lucky we chose each other!!! I will be back, with a card. Lol read more

Omgg! This place will please your taste buds and your tummy. All the produce was fresh, the kimchi is a burst of flavorful heaven in your mouth and the customer service is astounding. Support local restaurants and give these guys a try. read more

Kimchi fries are so delicious! This Korean BBQ has a modern twist so don't expect traditional, but it is still quality good. A reasonable price for the large portions, in my opinion. A single order of kimchi fries is more than enough for one person. Quick service and easy curbside pickup! read more

Today was my first visit to Chi'lantro ever!!! I was really intimidated at the beginning because I had never tried Korean Bbq before. I considered ordering my food through an app because of the quarantine, but decided I needed to get out of the house today for at least one thing. When I arrived, Julia welcomed us in with great energy, even as her and the rest of the staff diligently worked through all of the online orders. Brandon then asked what we would be ordering, and I told him it was my first time and so he kindly made a few suggestions. He was very helpful!! I placed two orders of kimchi fries and wings for my friend and I. As they prepared the to-go fries, one finished putting the topping on while the other finished the packaging and cheered each other on their team effort. Throughout the process, Julia said "Welcome" and "Thank You" to everyone that walked in and out of Chi'lantro. I could've chosen anywhere else to eat, on my one and only trip out of the house this week, but I'm so happy I chose chilantro! This place was a VIBE and everything the world needs right now. If you're reading this you're probably wondering what the food tasted like. THE FOOD WAS BOMB! Thanks, Chi'lantro!! Wil deffffinitely be back!! read more
