One of my favorite spots in Austin! Have ordered from here a multitude of times and have yet to have a bad experience. Ingredients are fresh and everything is incredibly tasty. read more

Chi'lantro is a spot I go to just about every time I go to Austin. It is pretty much a Chipotle meets Korean food. The food is always phenomenal and the experience is normally incredible. I love to get the kimchi fries to share with 1-3 other people. I'm a huge fan of putting the spicy pork on it, as the flavor is just incredible with the sauces other ingredients. Along with the kimchi fries, I'll normally get a burrito with noodles in it, and just about all these sides. The service here is great and check in on us to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. Great place for a casual meal or date. read more

Thank you Reno for making my first experience here a win! First time in and unsure what to order, Reno guided me with exemplary service not only answering my questions but giving me samples of the items I was considering which ensured that my bowl was exactly what I'd enjoy! So good. So filling. So satisfied. Now I'll look forward to coming back as a repeat customer, knowing how to place my order optimally. With a friendly, customer-centric attitude, Reno is an asset to the company and model of how to provide service that wows. read more

I saw this restaurant on Shark Tank. After the raving reviews. I thought it would be a good idea to go try it. The service was outstanding. The cashier helped pick out meals. The kimchi fries are bomb! I ended up getting a bowl with chicken and ginger sauce. It was delish! I will be back. read more

This place NEVER GETS OLD. At this point, I have been here over 30 times and got something different each time. I love the concept of making your own bowl because typically EVERYONE can find something they like. Of course, I would recommend getting the CLASSIC Original Kimchi Fries with spicy chicken to share with the table. For the bowl, the sweet potato (japchae) noodles are a MUST because it is such a unique and fun twist. read more

The menu here is very different then any restaurant i've really been to. Absolutely loved that you could substitute fries instead of rice for the bowl, everything was delicious and the employees were helpful with recommendations! Has some outdoor seating, and very good agua fresca! read more

I like how you can personalize the bowl with Korean inspired foods. I really enjoyed the sweet potato noodles and the spicy chicken. It's a bit on the pricer side, but the bowl is pretty big. The place is casual with good aesthetics. read more

Very very big portions and affordable ! probably around the same price as chipotle and you'll definitely have a second meal left over. A lot of variety and it's all very fresh. I loved the noodles and the korean beef, very filling but didn't give me that overly stuffed feeling. My boyfriend loved it and can't wait to go again. I love the concept of korean mexican fusion and it works very well! read more

Restaurant cleanliness was perfect just like the food and service I received, thank you Chi'Lantro & Mateo making my first time experience perfect. Wait can I tell you that the portion sizes are freaking AWESOME!! read more

Chi'Lantro - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is close to my job! The area is opening to plenty of great restaurants. Overall my experience here absolutely awesome! The customer service is great. The food is most definitely on the delicious side. You can pick your own entree with protein, sauce etc. They have Korean fried chicken wings. They have kid size bowls available. If you like Korean food this place is great for something quick. I would call it Korean fast food. LOL It's definitely not authentic Korean food. But still has a great flavor and a different perspective on Korean food. Great outdoor seating area if you're stuck in an office all day with no windows like I am. The facility is very clean and spacious. Great for groups. They serve alcohol, lemonade, and soda fountain machine. There's plenty of parking in the area. You can choose street or garage parking. read more

I would like to start off by saying that right off the boat the service was not good. We entered and were not greeted or acknowledged by the staff in any way shape or form. The food was not that good and lacked variety when it came to the toppings and such. I expected there to be a bit more of Korean aspects to this but they didn't have the basics such as pickled daikon which was a huge let down. Overall the environment in the actual restaurant wasn't bad but it wasn't the best, was just alright. I would not recommend this place but was nice to try so I can NOT recommend this to anybody else. read more

This place has good food but this location always has issues with portions. If you're going to charge $7 for queso the least you can do is fill the bowl. It's barely halfway filled read more

Don't go to this location unless you want undercooked food and your order messed up. I've ordered from this location twice and both times my food was undercooked. Definitely going to be reporting them to the health department. Go to any other location. I'm genuinely disappointed since I love this franchise. read more

Tbh, I was VERY skeptical of this place because my coworkers described it to me as "Korean Chipotle." This place deserves a higher pedestal than that. I applaud any restaurant that delivers new and interesting combinations of flavor without sacrificing quality. I didn't get to try the kimchi fries this time but I certainly will during my next visit. read more

Chi'Lantro - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Omg Chi'Lantro, I love you so much! I am such a big fan of this place. When I went to school here (more than 5 years ago), Chi'Lantro was just a food truck. My friends and I would hunt it down every weekend for some kimchi fries with an over easy egg and now they have multiple restaurants all over Austin. My favorites are the "original" kimchi fries and kimchi burger (with ribeye beef). You will not regret the calories, totally worth every one. Also, I like their freshly made lemonade. They have so many healthy options too, with it's build your own bowls option. As per usual, this location is great. Nice employees, clean bathrooms and most importantly delicious food. read more

Chi'Lantro - Noodle bowl with spicy chicken - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love, love the sweet potato noodles! The noodle bowl is my go to, add chicken, spinach, corn and magos sauce ! Yummy !

So I tried out the new brick & mortar location. I had only tried the food trucks. I like the build your own style menu: choose your base i.e.: brown rice, noodles, etc. then choose your protein: spicy pork, chicken then too w the fixings. I choose a brown rice bowl with spicy pork. To that I added the fried kimchi, cabbage, spinach, cilantro, more kimchi :) plus sesame oil and spicy may topped w sesame seeds! It was so full of flavor!!! Omg so good. I washed it all down with a glass of their basil peach lemonade;) Oh yes...I'll be back! read more

I came across this place while I was out for a run. I can't tell if the smell was wafting from another restaurant in the area but I walked up and saw it looked like a smaller, better lit chipotle. Made a mental note to come back when I had money and lo and behold it operated much like one too. I went with the rice bowl and got the spicy pork and I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture. It is most definitely worth a stop. read more

Loved the original kimchi fries with tofu! Sooo good! Nice ambience, they have changed a bit at this location. You can pick the add on ingredients of your choice for the entree now. read more

Chi'Lantro - The original kimchi fries! Sooo tasty! - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love to order their plain fries, extra crispy! Thanks for being a friendly neighborhood business.

I had one of the best experiences here today. The staff and the GM Yayel did an amazing job with service and the quality of the food, they were quick with the food, provided excellent service for a large party, and hand delivered my refill as I was leaving. This is how it should be done! I have been a fan for years, and remember when Chi'lantro was just a food truck. Love to seem them thrive especially during COVID. read more

This is my favorite Chi'Lantro location! Staff were all very friendly and help out as much as possible. It also looks like a fun environment to work at. It really depends on how do you build your bowl/taco/burritos, but I think I did mine too much veggie too little sauce so it was a little plain. Their magic sauce is unbelievable amazing, definitely try it out! They have this new salsa sauce was also really unique. read more

Chi'Lantro - Magic sauce with saracha - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I wish we had this in OKC! Fresh, delicious ingredients. I ordered a kids de taco which is just one regular taco instead of 2! Flour tortilla, seasoned spicy chicken (not spicy, just flavor), huge variety of unique toppings. The queso was also quite delicious. They put a bit of guacamole in it and it makes it creamy. My husband tried the original fries and it had e everything you would expect from a fusion style restaurant. He said he would ha e rather had a rice, noodle bowl or taco as the fries were a generic base. Check this place out for an easy lunch! read more

The food is super delicious, and the crew is even more amazing! I went tonight and they were running out of tofu, and immediately made me some more and gave me on their marinated sauce to make sure it was super tasty. I love the food and the people that work there are 10 out of 10. Try it out and you won't be disappointed! read more

I like to think of this as the asian chipotle. You pick your base rice, meat, veggies, and sauce. The soy glazed chicken is my favorite! Add a fried egg on top (cost extra) to finish it off. They always have two different types of lemonades and I found if you mix them it's really good! The Kim chi fries are a classic so if it's your first time then that's a must! I took off a star because the service at this location is a hit or miss. read more

Delicious Kim chi fries! Nice clean, casual atmosphere. Set up is similar to Chipotle, where you pick and choose what ingredients you want as you go down a 'lunch line and are served by the staff. read more

Great food, the drink selection was unreal! I'd deff recommend this place to anyone; cause I'll be back read more

Not all Chi'Lantro are the same... this is the fast food version and if you want Chi'Lantro served like Chipotle and served cold then this is the perfect restaurant for you. Everything served to go here, no siracha sauce, no black beans. This is literally a different restaurant than the other Chi'Lantro so avoid it. read more

We ordered the chi'lantro fries and queso fries. While both fries were okay, the flavours of chi'lantro fries especially the tofu in it was fantastic. I would come back over here again to get a rice or sweet potato noodles bowl. read more

My first time at Chi'Lantro and LOVE it! I like their cute location and cleanliness. Diana provided an upbeat and friendly customer service experience. Rice bowl was tasty + strawberry lemonade yum! read more

This is a new location, and it also differs a little from the other Chi'Lantro locations. They do not have the burger here, so if you want that go to a different location! This is Korean-fusion, Chipotle-style. They offer noodle bowls (glass noodles), which was what I tried. You can add your choice of meat or tofu, veggies, pickled veggies (kimchi!), corn, onions, etc etc..and your choice of sauce. The noodle bowl did not do it for me. I got it with their marinated tofu, and let's just say their marinated tofu was...too marinated for me. It was overwhelmingly sweet and drenched. My friends did not like the tofu today either and they're vegetarian! I got the sesame vinaigrette as recommended and that was also too sweet for me. Maybe it was the glass noodles, but the noodles could not absorb the sauce very well, so I just had a pool of this sauce at the bottom of my bowl. Maybe it was a bad day or maybe this location needs to work out some kinks. But anyway, don't get the noodle bowl lol. read more

Chi'Lantro BBQ opened their 4th brick and mortar today. The owner landed a deal on SharkTank in November and is now expanding the Chi'Lantro franchise. This new location is off of Shore District and Riverside adding to the delicious food seen in east Austin. The design of the patio and dinning room is absolutely gorgeous and modern. The new location is similar to the others with counter service and build your own options of tacos, rice bowls, noodle bowls salads, burrito and the OG Kimichi Fries. The house made sauces are phenomenal as is the kimchi so make sure to add them onto your order. And this location has them Gangman wings! I usually opt for a salad chock full of fresh veggies, a lean protein and kimchi but today I decided to go for the 2 tacos on corn. I ordered one sirloin and one spicy chicken, lettuce & cabbage, cucumber, cilantro topped with kimchi sauce and kimchi on the side. I love the fresh bold flavors of the meat, veggies and amazing sauce. The meats are perfectly marinated giving them an explosion of wonderful flavors. I also tried a wing and wish I could eat these everyday, so good! The casual restaurant is serving up delicious affordable food and in a family friendly, business friendly and date friendly environment. Tips: cashless payment purse hooks at the tables Outdoor patio read more

Love the food and even better service! Danielle had amazing hospitality and was able to help me and all my questions! Love the riverside location the best because of their fast service! read more

Great food and an awesome location. The staff are awesome as well. I've never had a bad experience at this location.

I've been a faithful fan, customer and follower here since 2009. They've changed, a lot, not all for the better. Prices are much higher with the new cost if rent and labor to factor in, but the food still tastes the same. A lot more options, nowadays; love that they serve 'real sugar' soda, read more

So coming home after church one time, my friends were craving Pho to eat. There was a place in the same shopping district called Pho Please, but the line was ridiculous, like out of the door ridiculous. We were then in a food crisis. Where do we go that everyone like to eat? Luckily, thanks to Google Maps and Yelp Nearby, there was a Chi'Lantro's. Everybody loves this place, so we went! This place looks like it's starting out, so they did pretty well. I have never had their bowls, so I decided to get one for myself. Man, with the number of toppings you can put in it, as well as the Soy Chicken protein, pack that thing for me and I'm set for days. This place is actually pretty good, subpar with the other Chi'Lantro's in Austin. Favorite thing get: Rice Bowl with Soy Chicken, (any veggie/sauce combination is great!) Honorable Mention: Kimchi Fries (of course) read more

I really like this location! You go through a line and assemble your own bowl, taco, or fries. The only issue I see is it might be confusing to someone who has not been to another Chi'Lantro location and experienced how the ingredients work together. It's not common knowledge that cheddar cheese and black beans taste good on stir fried glass noodles. If you have not tried Chi'Lantro before, trust me, all the ingredients are good together. Just load up on what looks good and get sauce on the side to mix up how you like it. read more

The decor is exquisite, beautiful lay out. Options for food, considering you can build your own meal. Homemade drinks, which is always exciting! Absolutely love! Also there's vegetarian options!!! read more

I love this place! The food is exceptional. However I prefer the other locations. My friends and I experienced rude service from the gentlemen making our food. They seemed very unhappy and one of them spoke to me quite rudely. However, the gentlemen with multiple arm tattoos was helpful and the lady working the cashier was nice. The first two guys didn't smile once and when I informed them I wanted to add a fried egg to my bowl, he said quite sharply "well did you tell anybody?" He asked me then what else I wanted on my bowl. I said, "Um I think..." And turned my head to look at the sauce list. As I did this he slid my bowl away from him and turned to the customer behind me while I was mid-sentence. It was so abrupt, but I just waited until the tattoo guy came and finished helping me. I love this business in general and will recommend always but the staff kind of put a damper on my experience today. read more
