    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.

    Parking lot in front
    Shannon G.

    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!

    Kimche fries and build your own

    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.

    B'Bimbap bowl
    Jamie P.

    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.

    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.

    B'bimbap bowl with steak
    Elise M.

    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!

    Queso and inside
    Patricia DeAnn W.

    Awesome food, friendly and clean! Queso is great I like the spicy chicken taco thing.

    Kimchi Fries
    Brandon K.

    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.

    Meet from bowl
    Eliza A.

    It was my first time visiting this chain. Didn't know what to expect. I was very disappointed. The food was not great and the meet was not fully cooked. I hope I don't get sick.

    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.

    Korean Beef Burrito
    Rolando N.

    Best Burritos in town. Starting to prefer these to the Mexican burritos. Awesome that they now have a location in this area. Love the ingredients they have available. Whether you are in the mood for bowl or burrito you will love veggie and meat options that they have available. This stuff is good. Service is great.

    Kimichi Fries
    Jono B.

    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!

    I recently moved to Austin in 2023. I found a gem tucked away in the back of the HMart food…read morecourt next to the hair salon. Narrow Street 512 serves up Authentic Korean food with a personal touch. It feels like you're eating a home cooked meal at your Aunt's home in Korea. I experienced Narrow Street as a solo diner. My go-to dish I order 90 percent of the time I go there is the Chadol Plate (A3). It is beef brisket. You normally need to go to a KBBQ spot and get covered in a layer of smoke. Skip smelling like a campfire and get A4 at Narrow Street. The beef brisket comes with rice served in a metal bowl. You get 3 or four small plastic containers of banchan the rotates seasonally. There is a variety of different kimchi, fish cake, corn slaw, potato salad and more. Once in a while I like to switch it up and I order the Cold Noodles (F1) or squid and pork stir fry (A4). The cold noodles are refreshing with crisp cucumber, white radish kimchi, and korean pear. The noodles are bouncy with a nice chew. Great in Summer and Winter. The Squid and pork stir fry comes with a bowl of rice and it is quite spicy. It is spicier than average but still less spicy than Thai chili. The chewy squid and pork are nicely complemented with the crunchy stir fried cabbage. Once you taste it you can't stop eating it. The price at Narrow Street very reasonable for what you get in my opinion. It is sit down restaurant quality food in a fast casual setting. You can dine solo or go in a big group as there is plenty of seating at the Hmart Food court. You place your order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to alert you to go pick up your trays of food. The Korean ladies who work there are super friendly and will help you make your menu selection if you have any questions. I've been a dedicated regular since 2023. Narrow Street is my go-to for my Korean food fix!

We ordered the ox knee bone soup. The soup was great and had lots of meat in it! I was surprised by how many different side dishes it came with because usually food court meals come with bare minimum. I would highly recommend this place - the location is kind of hidden in comparison to the other stalls with bright signs so I can see why people end up eating the other places tha this spot.

It is a quaint little place, not too big of a space so luckily they did not have a wait when we went. I give it a five star review because of the sushi. The food for me was good, not the best like not great, but it does satisfy the Korean food craving. Presentation of dishes was so nice and fun, the sushi was on fire literally. They start you off with banchan-kimchi, macaroni, onions, and fish cake. It's standard, nothing outstanding, but they do give free refills! 1. Taimatsu Roll - My favorite dish we ordered. It's saucy and has a nice play on textures because of the crispy fried bits on top. It is stuffed with a sizeable piece of tuna and has a sweet mayo sauce. It is definitely more fusion leaning rather than traditional. 2. Dak-Galbi - A spicy chicken dish with sweet potato matchstick slices and rice cakes. There could be more rice cakes and flavor. It was not spicy at all, more of that sweet savory taste you get from gochujang based dishes. The chicken was super tender and there was a good amount! 3. Beef Rib Stew - This was a warming stew with glass noodles, it is a basic soup that is salty and peppery (some may think it's bland). It comes with a bone in beef rib that is fall off the bone tender! Overall, while the food wasn't the most outstanding, I would definitely come back to try other items (namely the sushi). I would also love to try the inari tofu pockets I see online (not sure if they still have that though since I don't think I saw that on the menu). Also, their other fusion leaning dishes like the carbonara tteokbokki sounds interesting.
