    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    My salad bowl-deeelish
    Susan W.

    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!

As a…read moreKorean American who's spent a lifetime eating great Korean food at home and in restaurants, my standards are high. That said, this was easily the best Korean meal I've had in Austin, and honestly, it might be the best I've had in Texas. The soondubu arrived absolutely piping hot. I ordered the mushroom version, and it was packed with a wide variety of mushrooms rather than just a few token pieces. Even when ordered spicy, the broth still had incredible depth and flavor that wasn't just heat for the sake of heat. The tteokbokki was addictive. We ended up adding cheese and ramen, which took it to another level. The marinated kalbi was equally impressive: high-quality meat with very little fat and generous portions. The banchan was also top-tier. Standouts included the soy-glazed potatoes, fresh kimchi, and japchae. They also serve purple rice, which has a wonderful chewy texture and feels like a more thoughtful alternative to standard white rice. The food alone would bring me back, but the service was excellent as well; friendly, attentive, and efficient. We came for an early dinner and got seated right away, but if you're planning to come during peak dinner hours, expect a wait. The locals clearly know this place is something special. Huge parking lot and the dining area is bright and airy, even playing the world cup games. Seems to be very family friendly.

The cold noodles had a great taste, but were not served with any accompaniment except some ginger. The six pieces of galbi we ordered included one piece that was purely gristly and bone. No seasoning and weirdly chewy meat on the remaining pieces. I wouldn't recommend the BBQ here. We had a pretty uncomfortable table wedged between a large family dinner and the server station, blocked from the windows by a giant wall.

We went with the AYCE BBQ Option B "Deluxe," which includes everything from A + B for $36.99 per person. Totally worth it--the selection is huge (various cuts of pork and beef, plus even octopus). But honestly, the real standout is the banchan (sides). Portions are generous--stuff that would cost extra at most places comes included here! Our favorites: the steamed egg, cheesy sweet corn, kimchi soup, and especially the fried dumplings. (Pro tip: toss those dumplings on the grill in a little meat grease to crisp them up... thank me later!) All I can say is--when I'm too lazy to make KBBQ at home and craving endless side dishes, this is where I'll be.

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!

Parking is decently okay, my only complaint is the spaces are small and I don't have a big car, just a 4-door sedan and it barely fit in the spot. So if you have a big car or a nice one, I would recommend parking a bit further away and just walking to the restaurant. I am going to focus more on the cooked items as most people here already gave their review on the sushi. Hangover ramen, not too bad. It is like Shin Ramen Instant Noodles with a lighter flavor, nice touch with the bean sprout as it is a needed texture element. Add the gyoza into it and it makes it even better. Cucumber salad, not bad at all. It is missing a bit of spice to it. A touch of chili oil on it would kick this dish up a bit. It is refreshing and a must at the table. Truffle fries, please skip this. No salt on the fries if you are okay with it. It is just a bit of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. It is lacking in flavor. Yaki Udon, skip this as well. Not sure if it was just the day I went but the sauce was not so great. It was this sweet and sour taste but it was swimming on the bottom of the bowl like the sauce was poured on top of it at the end instead of being stir-fried into it in a wok or a pan. The first few bites are okay but the bottom half is just swimming in that sauce. Spicy Pork Bulgogi, decent size overall, not too bad. I would order like kimchi rice to eat with it next time if I come back. I do wish it was a bit more charred just to give it a bit of a textual element to it. also another thing to note, the bathroom is shared with the restaurant next door to it.
