They got my order wrong. I ordered a bbq PORK bowl and they gave tofu. It was a pickup order and didn't know until I got home. Very bummed about that. I think it otherwise would've tasted good but getting the main protein wrong, especially to mix vegetarian is a pretty bad error. read more

Inconsistent messaging with the Chilantros messaging with regards to their recent announcing the at kids eat free due to the SNAP benefit program concerns during the government shut down, I stopped by this weekend to show support as they made a post that starting the weekend of November 8-9, they would start running this offer of kids eating free every weekend. Nobody seemed to know what I was talking about, I was tossed around across 3 employees checking me out and finally got the lead on shift, but they would not budge on offer. The leadership at checkout was insistently explicit it was only for Nov 8&9 as a one time offer. I showed him the IG and email I received in my inbox, and they held firm on charging me for our entire order. Although not a big deal, we drove out of our way to visit and orchestrated weekend plans around this and very disappointed in the falsehood of Chi'Lantro honoring this promotional campaign for the social media likes. Do better with ensuring your messaging across the Austin market knows as he held firm that he needed explicit guidance of what his general store lead would communicate to their store. read more

The chicken rice bowl is good. Service was fine as you pretty much self serve. If you want to grab something quick and go, this is the place to go. Will be back to try other bowls in the future. read more

Chi Lantro - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

My friend ordered food from this place for our girls gathering. I got the small Ssam and the veggie dumplings, my other friends tried the bowls. I loved the sauces that come with the food and the taste of everything I had. I haven't tried this place much as I don't have one near by, but I can tell I would probably go to this place more often if I could. It's a pretty chilled place, and the staff is super friendly. This particular location is in an area with tons of traffic in and out, but even with that the place was clean and well kept. Outside sitting is also available and now that the weather is getting better, it could be a nice hangout. I'll definitely stop by again or even try the other locations, but overall the food was very tasty and the portions were generous. read more

And the staff is helpful and efficient! The ambiance is a modern vibe with chill music playing. ;) read more

Chi Lantro - My yummy bowl! - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came here again a few days ago. Got bowls this time instead of wraps. Staff was very friendly, but they made my husband the wrong bowl entirely. I got the tofu noodle bowl and he had asked for the buddah bowl. We were given two tofu noodle bowls instead. By the time we realized, it was too late. Still yummy and delicious regardless. But please pay attention yall! Between the subpar wrapping on the "burrito" & being made the wrong bowl, it's just small mishaps or errors here and there that are totally avoidable. read more

My gosh, I was so hungry, and I knew that Chi'Lantro would 1. Full me up. And 2. Be satisfying throughout my 3 hour class. I decided on the carnitas bowl. The employee greeted me promptly. He was very polite with the southern "what can I get you ma'am" he started my bowl, and passed it down to the next section where a women continued to complete my bowl toppings. She asked if I would like a sample of their dumpling. And I said yes, I would love that. After paying for my bowl, I found a seat and dove right in. The toppings are all fresh and crisp. Everything had its own bountiful flavor. I did get the sauce on the side. Which I later added after I ate about half the bowl. The sauce was such a nice flavor enhancer. I did like the dumpling sample she gave me. It was crisp on the outside and delicious on the inside. Not over cooked to mush. Was really a nice well made dumpling. The restaurant is clean. Tables are kept up. The self serve soda machine is clean. Outside seating is nice. It's out on the sidewalk, and out by the parking lot. It's a bit chilly today to eat outside . So inside it was. Parking lot, is a small shopping center, you should find it easy to park. Spaces are a little tight, but it's not bad. Had a great meal, great service, I will come back again! read more

We walked in and were immediately greeted with smiles and warm feelings. The gentleman making our food was so happy we walked in. My wife is pregnant and has been craving this place. They took great care of us. Right off of 620, you do not need to travel far off the road to eat here. The place was very clean. Restrooms were clean, everything wiped down, and great music playing to enjoy your time here. I believe this location is way better than the South Austin location. Thi location has more room, and the vibe seems way happier. Way cleaner and overall better experience. This is one of my wife's favorite places. And when you have guys with smiles, it just makes you want to come back. read more

Chi Lantro - Kimche fries and build your own - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

It was my first time trying this place and the food is great! They have a lot of options and give really good portions of food. The team member was really nice and explained all the food options. It was very clean in there as well. read more

Quick, affordable, fresh, and healthy (if you want it); all the pieces of a solid weekday meal. While it's not the height of culinary achievements nor particularly memorable, I've never walked out feeling disappointed. The jap chae noodles, kimchi, and fried tofu are absolutely clutch, no matter what else you get. Don't miss the new-ish dumplings too, which are fully fried and crispy, with a satisfying veggie filling. The dipping sauce is mostly vinegar and not great, but thankfully, they don't even need it. read more

I'm so glad a Chi'lantro recently opened up by my house. I ordered the B'Bimbap rice bowl and kimchi fries. We ordered both with all the ingredients, but if you're not into spicy foods, I recommend skipping out on some of the sauces and picking your protein wisely. Their drink fountain is also fun too with different flavors. I ended up getting the agave cream soda, which is always delicious. The employees were all so kind and trainings new employees at the same time. Everyone was seriously hustling during the dinner rush. There is not a lot of seating inside this location, but we didn't have to fight for a table. There were a ton of takeout orders being picked up while we were there and they make it easy with a pickup shelf right next to the door. Every time someone walked in for a pickup, it was already ready to go. read more

Who has 2 thumbs and too many errands after work? This mom. That's why I was delighted to discover this newest Chi'Lantro location just a few blocks down the road from my teen's swim team center (Waterloo Lakeline). Rather than make another regrettable greasy drive-thru dinner stop, I can easily order "fast casual" takeout meals for the family through the Chi'Lantro smartphone app while I watch my son's workout, then pick up our tasty Korean BBQ-inspired dinner on our way home. My go-to meal here is a bowl with tons of greens, veggies & kimchi with a spicy protein over the japchae (GF) noodles. It's usually enough food to make 2 meals for me, and it's great hot for dinner, then cold for lunch the next day. My picky eater son will take the kids' quesadillas and we'll share an order of queso fries. If hubby is along, the fries get upgraded to spicy beef/chicken/or pork fries - so gooooood! Can you believe we now have 10 Chi'lantros in the Austin area? So proud of these guys for their success after their early days in 2010 as a single food truck.

Absolutely love Chi'Lantro and absolutely love that this one opened off of 620 not far from Cedar Park. Of the growing number of establishments offering various quick service bowls, Chi'Lantro is among the best. I would recommend the steak B'bimbap. The meat is super flavorful. The pork Japchae con queso was also delicious and the queso is legit. We ordered the famous kimchi fries and they were a little too spicy for my taste but still really good. Clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Fantastic lunch. Cheers, Chi'Lantro! read more

Chi Lantro - Queso and inside - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

When you are craving beef bulgogi and crispy french fries (which I seem to oddly crave way to often), there is only one place to go. Before this location opened, it was a bit of a pain to get Chi'lantro so it seemed to only happen if I was out and about. But now, they are 4 minutes from my house. This is going to be dangerous. I've been a fan of the kimchi fries since I moved to Austin over 8 years ago, and they still seem to impress me. The portion is huge, and they don't skimp out on the protein. If you are craving something else, I can definitely recommend the queso. It was the perfect constancy and packed with flavor. All in all, the service was fast and the food was great. It was a bit loud in there so it was definitely hard to hear the people behind the counter but this was also opening weekend so it may have changed since then. read more

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

Twas a cold and cloudy night and all I yearned for was chilantro. Luckily, we happened upon their 620 location. We had the spicy pork curated bowl and an order of kim chi fries with spicy chicken. Both were delicious but we both gave a slight edge to the flavor in the pork as it was great. They made a great combo with the heavy carbed fries and then the bowl with some greens, kim chi and queso. I think it might have been my first time having queso with Asian flavors. We both had plenty and even had some of the bowl left to take home. Overall, a fantastic experience with my only small suggestion being that I wish the bowl were mixed for us or served in a bigger vessel so we could mix it ourselves. read more

We arrived early at Interstellar BBQ hoping to beat the line but alas with afternoon meetings we could not stand in line for an hour, with hope that they would not call "86 the Brisket". My bud did a quick Yelp search and said Chi'Lantro BBQ is nearby. So we opted for Korean BBQ over Tex BBQ. I've never been here before but my coworker said it's good fresh food. My first impression if you like Chiplote you will like Chi'Lantro. My spicy pork bowl was absolutely delicious. Portions were more than adequate and I was only able to plow through two-thirds of the bowl. Is Chi'lantro better than the offerings at the food court in H Mart, no? But it is a great option for quick fulfilling lunch. Pro tip: If you are like me and like something sweet after spicy food Dairy Queen is right next door. Pro tip 2: Cashless CC only to pay. read more

Happy to discover this place. The workers were A+. Attentive, patient, informative, and kind. And they did not short us on the food! As for the food...delicious! I'm so happy to discover this place. The owner, after I researched his story, seems like a great guy too. I'll be happy to add this to the list of establishments I frequent. Also their lemonades are good...unique to your typical lemonade tastes...but good! read more

Chi Lantro - Meet from bowl - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

The best value bowl in the Mueller area. Paid $20 total for double meat servings and queso topping on the bowl. Everything was very saucy, even the beans which was nice. The spicy soy chicken was flavorful and I would be satisfied with just that but added the K-POP fried chicken as well. Service was extremely fast. The only feedback would be that the queso portion felt a little small in a sauce size serving for the additional charge but overall the meal was a great value so no biggie. Parking is spacious. I wouldn't sit inside for the vibes but a great pickup and go spot. read more

What a great little location!! I have been to the original ChiLantro location twice with my grand children but they have really expanded and there is even one out in the Cedar Park area now .....which is close to where I live. I was lucky enough to be chosen for this elite event, and went into try one of their new bowls. Well -I chose the Umma's (Mom's) Salad $9.97 Your choice of Korean BBQ, green leaf lettuce mix, spinach, avocado, red cabbage, carrots, kimchi, cilantro, onion, pickled veggies, sesame seeds, & carrot ginger dressing. You can also add a fried egg which I forgot to do and the only thing I changed was no cilantro. I had the steak for my protein it was a little dry, but still very tasty. I enjoyed the salad tremendously. The ginger carrot dressing was perfect. My dining partner ordered the Signature Large Ssäm $9.87 Flour tortilla, your choice of base, black beans, cheddar + Monterey jack, onions, lettuce mix, cilantro, lime juice, magic sauce, sesame seeds. Also, meant to add a fried egg, but forgot. He had the Korean BBQ Steak for his protein. He nixed the onions, lime, juice, magic sauce, and sesame seeds. The meat was not spicy I promise you however he thought it was a tad spicy... you know everybody has their own opinion. It was very good, and the Ssäm was very unique. Definitely plenty big for a meal or possibly even TWO depending on your appetite. We had to try the chicken wings so we also ordered a half a dozen of those, sauce on the side. Wow, I think I could've eaten a couple dozen. They were just that good!! Thank you so much, Chi'lantro for a tasty and delicious meal! read more

We were meaning to go to another restaurant when we saw that Chilantro was still open. We decided to try something different and it seemed like a good option. The place is clean and very well lighted. All the time, there was someone cleaning the kitchen. The food was very good. Very flavorful and the portions were big. The only thing is that the food could be a little warmer, but overall it is a very good option. read more

The food was very tasty, the staff was kind and the building was clean. This was our first time in, we will for sure be back!

I ordered the kimchi fries. This is exactly how it came. When I opened the box sauces flew out it was a mess but that wasn't the worst part. I had only about 10 fries and the rest was tortilla chips, they skimp on the beef which is now a $4 up charge. I spent 15 dollars for no fries and no meat. This was my first time at this location and they did not impress. I recommend not ordering a pick up order because it's always hit or miss. I have ordered this before at many other locations and it has never looked like this and it's usually filled with fries. I'm getting a refund because this was just ridiculous. read more

Chi Lantro - *kimchi fries - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was quite hungry when I came in but this place was so bad I could only take 4 bites before throwing it away. Ordered steak bibimbap. Beef had no seasoning whatsoever; just tasted burnt. Nothing else in the bowl had any flavor; requires their sauce to impart even a modicum of flavor. However, they didn't put enough in; just a drizzle. Either the person making my bowl has no handle of how Korean food should taste or they're pinching pennies. Might be a bit of both, honestly because the portion are tiny for what they charge. My wife ordered the k pop chicken bowl. The chicken was stone cold and tasted more like panda express than Korean fried chicken. I'm not sure if it's this location or chilantro in general but this is a far cry of what it used to be. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. H-Mart food court is just down the street. Any of those will put this place to shame. read more

When in Austin, this is healthy and flavorful Korean semi-fast food. Solid sauce flavors, freshly cooked/grilled meats. Super easy for take out! read more

Ok so the steak is really good, 5 stars worthy. The reason overall is a 3 is because the options are so little here... i feel they are lacking on essential korean veggies. They offer kim chi, carrots, corn, spinach... but no radishes, no cucumbers, no jalapeños, no sprouts, mushrooms etc. I just felt like what are the options, my bowl was pretty sparse. but they did have shredded mexican cheese and black beans like what... Healthy enough but i want my veggies for the price and for a better experience.. Idk 3/5 is what i think is deserved.. read more
