The kimchi fries are amazing, if you have never visited before and love kimchi these are a must have. I like them with the soy glazes chicken for a little spicy and sweet balance. The chicken wings are next level. Make sure to request the spicy ranch. Other items that I live include the tacos with rib eye or spicy pork. All locations are cashless, so bring a card. Their to go orders are always nicely packaged which is a bonus. read more

Chi'Lantro - Kimchi fries, tacos and Korean fried chicken wings - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came here on a Saturday night, and it was as packed as Chipotle in 2014. I got spicy pork kimchi fries and a rice bowl. Both were served pretty cool, and I prefer hotter food. The toppings on the kimchi fries were great, but the fries themselves were pretty soggy-- like leftover McDonald's fries. The rice bowl had way too many vegetables and barely any meat. I didn't really enjoy this place for a full meal, but the kimchi fries are pretty interesting to try. read more

So good!! I came here on a Thursday night with my friends and their three month old baby. We had no trouble finding a seat for the four of us. Collectively, we ordered wings, the kimchi fries, a burrito, salad, and a rice bowl. We ordered too much food but everything was delicious! I got the ribeye on the kimchi fries, which was delicious, but didn't have much kimchi on it. The wings were awesome! I had the rice bowl without rice and black beans (shhh!) and added the pork to it, which proved to be a good choice. I'll be back for sure and recommend this place to my friends! read more

This place is so cute! Thank goodness for this brick & mortar that is mere miles away. thank goodness it's indoors!! I was afraid I wouldn't get a table but the turnaround is fast on both the making of the food and the eating of the food. This is not a place to hang out (leave that for the Starbies next door, maybe). My friend and I had a late lunch here so it cleared out quite a bit before we were finished eating so we lingered an extra few minutes. Just to be clear, we never felt rushed! The staff is helpful and will even refill your drinks! I got a spicy rice bowl today and though it looked smallish it is incredibly filling. The right amount of rice and veggies and meat. I ate everything. It's beautifully decorated, yet warm at the same time. Super bright even on a rainy, dreary day like it was today. I can't wait to try the tacos, k-pops and the rice balls. read more

What we tried yesterday was not worth the calories: bulgogi bowl, salad with chicken, bulgogi kimchi fries Everything tasted the same, one note all around, boring. No worries, there's an eateries boom in Austin. Next! read more

This was the first location I had been to when I first tried Chi'lantros. I guess I didn't have the full experience because I only had the rice bowls and kimchi fries. All my friends told me I needed to try the KPOPS and I had no idea. The rice bowls were okay! I don't think they were super tasty. A the kimchi fries were pretty tasty though and that's because I love kimchi and fries!! Rice bowls: 3/5 Kimchi fries: 4/5 You go up to the counter to order and pay and then they'll serve the food to you! Prices pretty average as anywhere else. This is a must go to in ATX! read more

Chi'Lantro - rice bowls - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

I like Chilantro's, but personally I think it's pretty overhyped considering everyone raves about it and says, "omg you have to try it!" Korean and Mexican cuisine goes pretty well together, so yes, the food is pretty decent. However, first time I came to the brick and mortar location, I got the bulgogi burger with kimchi, and it was just mediocre. The bun is pretty good, but it's just a burger with an egg and kimchi in it. In my opinion, the kimchi burger at LA Burger (in Dallas) tastes hella lot better. More recently, I got their tacos because I wasn't too hungry, and those were pretty good. The cilantro taste is a bit overhwelming, but overall they're pretty good tacos - I really like the bulgogi marinade here, just don't prefer it on their burgers. I do really like their kimchi fries, but those are a meal in itself, so usually I like to share those with a group if friends. I haven't actually ordered it here at the b&m location, but I have had them at the truck, and I'm sure they taste the same (I could be wrong, though). I haven't had the kpop wings yet, but hoenestly, don't really want to, because I feel like they're fairly overpeiced, but that's personal opinion coming from a a poor person, haha. Overall, this place is a good place to go to with friends in a casual atmosphere. Dinner time gets really busy; I went during Sunday brunch/lunch time and it was pretty free! read more

Home of the original Kimchi Fries. I remember this place when they were working out of a food truck. They've really come a long way. I've tried Kimchi Fries from a few different places but I think Chi'Lantro is the best. Be sure to stop by here, even if it's just for the fries! (PS - Kimchi fries w/ beef is the best!) read more

Chi'Lantro - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've had chilantro multiple times - each one trying to make up for the last visit. Alas, I have been disappointed every time. My most recent visited solidified my opinion that I think chilantro is overrated, I hate to say it. KIMCHI FRIES: 3/5, first off, how can you call it kimchi fries with minimal kimchi?! I expect to be drowning in kimchi if they're advertised as one of the main ingredients. My second irk: the bottom fries are completely plain. Absolutely nothing. The toppings don't even make up for the amount of plain fries. Either you attempt to mix the fries together or you end up with over half of your fries being plain. RICE BOWL WITH SPICY PORK: 2.5/5, at first I was like, "yeah rice bowl! I could go for some rice! Fried egg and veggies? Nice!" The bowl comes with like 1/5 of the bowl toppings as the meat. THERE WAS BARELY ANY MEAT. if I wanted a slurry of vegetables, I would've gotten the salad option rather than rice. Also the beans had absolutely no business being with this bowl. I like beans, don't get me wrong, but the bean flavor just overpowers anything else. Skip getting the rice bowl. Will I come back? Maybe in a couple of months to try different items. read more

We got terrible food poisoning here, and they didn't even get our order right. The food tasted fine, but something was very wrong. Watch out. read more

Food truck to restaurant! I've always been a huge fan of their food truck so I'm glad they opened up a restaurant. I was curious to see what their menu would be like! The results: so delicious! We ordered a bit of everything as you can see in my photos! I ordered the pork bulgogi burger with kimchi! The bun had way too much breading so I barely ate that part. The ingredients were good. I regret not getting the rice bowl that they had since my friends truly enjoyed theirs by devouring everything in their bowl. My favorite on the menu? The K POP. Korean fried chicken wings with the choice of gangnam sauce or honey butter! My favorite flavor is the honey butter! MUST TRY! The Kimchi fries is another MUST order, which I usually order down 6th street in the wee hours! read more

Only visited here because the ramen place across the street had such a long line. We order the wings and the kimchi fries....I got sick from the wings although they didn't taste bad. This place is definitely not the place to go if you want a hearty meal. Everything was slightly overpriced. The fries were dry cause there was no sauce. Just wasn't worth it really. Good to try but probably not the place you'd want to come back to as your first choice. read more

This is my new fast casual spot whenever I come to Austin! I couldn't decide between Wings or The Original Kimchi Fries, so I ordered both. The fries come with your choice of protein, caramelized kimchi, cheddar & monterey jack, onions, cilantro, "magic sauce", sesame seeds, and my favorite part sriracha! Being that I'm a Wing connoisseur, their Korean Fried Chicken Wings had to come with it and they did. They were fried to perfection and tossed with the perfect amount of sauce. I had to stop myself from eating everything and stick to my plan to save some for later. If you're looking for something with lots of flavor, quick and unique this is the place for you! read more

such delicious fusion food! definitely recommend if you're in the mood for something different. imo the tacos are nothing special, but the bowls and kimchi fries are worth going back for! love whatever they marinate their tofu in, it has a great flavor. the magic sauce is also sooo good! get it on everything! the kimchi adds a nice heat without being too spicy. wish more places did fusion as well as chilantro! read more

Have you had Chi'Lantro yet? Quit messing around and get some. The tacos and kimchi fries cannot be beaten. Why only 4 stars? While the food is tremendously tasty, we had the fall special ramen on our last visit. It was a cup of soup noodle bowl with veggies and their marinaded meat added. Was it awesome? Yes. Does it remind you they still think like a food truck? Yes. Did you just pay $9 for a cup of soup with meat added? Yes. read more

I've wanted to try this place for a long time! I actually went to the downtown trailer years ago, but it was for an after party binge so I don't really remember the food. This location was really relaxed and the staff was friendly. Located right next to one-to-one so Chi'Lantro would be a cool stop before or after a date. I ordered the wings (6) and Kimchi fries with beef. Omg those Kimchi fries were amazing!!! I was in heaven! I've never had Kimchi fries before. I am a fan now! They are really heavy. My sister and I shared the fries and still couldn't finish them. The wings were fresh and crispy. I could only eat 2 after munching on the fries. The two items cost $17. My sister ordered a bowl with brown rice, beef, and avocado. Her bowl cost $12. I did not care for the bowl it reminded me of chipotle (not in a good way). I don't know how soon I'll be back it is expensive and there are so many good food options in Austin. read more

I had been meaning to come here for 3+ years now and it was really great. I've had a bulgogi burger and the kim chi fries. The bulgogi burger I had the first time I came was ok but I decided to come back for the fries. The Kim Chi fries are the clear winner. I've been craving them ever since! This is the sort of place to take your friends when they visit to Austin to show them the sort thing you can only really find here (and, technically, the other cities that now have Chi'Lantro, but who cares about them?). read more

Chi'Lantro - Kim chi fries before and after shot - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

When visiting Chi'Lantro, definitely try their kimchi fries. It's huge, so be sure to share this with a friend! The rice bowl is really filling as well, with beans, rice, kimchi, egg, veggies, and a choice of protein. Brown rice is apparently extra cost. Get the ribeye! My favorite thing to get from Chi'Lantro is definitely the wings. If you don't mind spicy, gangnam sauce is the way to go! A bit pricier than the other items in terms of the price-to-portions ratio ($7.5 for 6 wings), but it's really good so you won't regret it! The restaurant itself is adorable. Lots of natural lighting and simple wooden furniture fits right in with "hipster" Austin. Service is quite fast as well. read more

Chi'Lantro - Rice bowl with ribeye and avocado - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

First time coming here after Ali Wong comedy show, it was open until 12am Friday night. We had 45 mins to eat. Ordered the famous Kimchi Fries with beef, 10 Korean BBQ chicken wings, and beef burger with everything on it.... food came out perfect timing. Wings came out first to eat, then burgers and fries for two. We split everything to get a chance to try it all. Food was hot, flavorful, and best part of it all ... after finishing we didn't feel that heaviness or chunky fat feeling even though we ate a burger. It was fulfilling in a partial healthy choice way! This isn't the best Kimchi fries I've tried in my lifetime but its tasty enough. Only critic I have is I wish the KBBQ beef was cut into a small bite size before topped over the Kimchi fries so it's more efficient for customers to get that perfect bite size and also share friendly to eat without the need to use a plastic knife to cut a large piece beef thrown on the fries. :) (it might not be a big deal for others and my OCD preference lol). read more

I've been wanting to try the restaurant version of Chi'Lantro's for awhile, since there's a food truck right by the UT campus. I got the Rice Bowl with Tofu and Mushrooms, and then the Kimchi Fries. Both were MARVELOUS. The sauce used to make the tofu makes it so savory. And the fries has a slight spicy kick to it. Thumbs up all around and definitely recommend. read more

Its all about the battle for a table, so when one opens up, you better be willing to fight for it. On another note, we came here for lunch on a Saturday, interested in checking out the new restaurant. I have had the fries during ACL but I was interested in trying some of their other options. We ordered Kimchi Fries, the chips/dip assortment, wings, and the churro dessert. Every item was incredibly different but still so good. We also ordered way too much food. The chips and dips comes with a massive bag of chips that is more then enough for 4-5 people. The wings fall right off the bone and the kimchi fries, like always, were incredible. The line was at the door when we arrived but moved relatively quickly. Like I said earlier, the hardest part is finding a spot at a table because their aren't many in there. Overall, the meal was great and I definitely want to come back and try some other items on the menu. read more

Three words: Kim. Chi. Fries. zOMG! They were absolutely delicious and the portion is definitely enough to share (we were a group of 3 and there was more than enough for all of us). I'm glad they have multiple trucks in the Austin area...multiple trucks = multiple chances to nom on kimchi fries! read more

Was not too impressed with this place. Ordering was easy, service was ok, ambience was fine, food was just meh. We got: - Burger with spicy chicken - Noodle bowl with soy glazed chicken - Kimchi fries - Wings My favorite ended up being the wings, which had pretty good flavor. Burger was ok, have to say it was not to easy a burger with chicken pieces falling out of it. Noodle bowl was really not that much food. Fries were really soft and not crispy, tasted stale to me. Cheese was not melted. Overall didn't really feel like it was filling and went somewhere else to get dessert after. read more

I happened upon this place by accident, but was not disappointed. The line was to the door when I stopped by for lunch, and seating was VERY limited (not sure why they don't offer outside seating?) but the line moved quickly and I ended up just getting the order to-go. The kimche fries with spicy pork were AMAZING! I also loved their soda fountain selection (sweetened with organic cane sugar), the ginger ale was so good! read more

There spicy chicken wings w spicy ranch sauce are the best. Reasonable priced and made to order.

Great concept that is somewhat reminiscent of Chipotle, but with an Asian flair. I'm not sure how Korean it is besides the pieces of kimchi here and there but overall a good option for a quick bite. Ambience: It's bright and clean as you walk in... you start in a line with a big menu straight ahead. We did find the meat/protein options confusing for the burgers but bottom line is you can order any of the meats/protein for your burger and it ends up being a more like a pulled-pork sandwich consistency instead of a burger patty. We got the ribeye bulgogi and it was delish by the way... best thing we ordered! You get a number for your table and seat yourself. Kind of a eat and get outta there kind of joint but we did see a few people hanging out with drinks. Service: Food came out quick. Water fountain is at the end of the counter and you help yourself. You leave your trash and they bus the tables. Place was clean. Food: Sooo, like I mentioned... the best thing we had was the ribeye bulgogi burger. The bulgogi was flavorful and the special sauce made it perfectly spicy. Really good burger. Our spicy pork rice bowl was... okay. Like a few others have mentioned, all the right ingredients but it didn't really mix together well. Just some rice, vegetables, and few pieces of meat thrown together. I wouldn't get it again. Kimchi fries were good but not "to die for" like some have mentioned. Cheesy sauce, sriracha, fries... of course it's gonna be tasty. Perfect hang-over food for sure. We had the grapefruit and pomegranate ciders and those were on point. Bottomline: Get the ribeye burger, don't get the rice bowl. Get the fries if you're drunk... or if you're not and want cheesy-spicy goodness. Get the cider. I'll come back for a quick bite and try the salad next time. read more

Stopped in first time for kimchi fries I'd heard raves about. (I raved,too!) Came back to try the Kimchi Rice Balls. (AWESOME!!) Came back again (and again!) for the Gangnam K-Pops!! (Already said I came back again, but did I mention it was SAME DAY!?) Tried the esquites - their take on street corn, as a dip served with chips, but I used a fork! (Wanted more!!)

Food is fantastic. It's got a trendy or "hipster" feel to it - but it's 100% amazing good with a good vibe. Once you become a pro at Chi'Lantro you learn to order online and pick up the food - To cut on their long lines [Chi'Lantro food trucks operate like a chipotle so they're quicker FYI] My only disclaimer is they don't have good soda from what I remember they have knock off brands (I tend to drink sparking water anyways) also the price is definitely up there. It's 100% over priced but it's delicious. read more

I finally got a chance to go to their b&m today, and I had mixed feelings about my experience! It's a relatively small place, so it was crowded, but the food came out very quickly despite the business. I ordered the bulgogi burger, which I have already ordered many times at their food truck. This is where the "meh" part comes in. The bottom of the burger was charred BLACK, and the meat, though flavorful, was charred and over-cooked as well. The burnt taste wasn't too overwhelming because of the magic sauce (doing its job by being magically delicious) and the bulgogi marinade, but it was still definitely present. The bottom of my friend's burger was also charred. They did a good job of hiding it though...lol. Hopefully, my experience with the burnt food is a one-time thing, but it was definitely not the best bulgogi burger or the best Chi'Lantro experience I've ever had. My other friend ordered the spicy pork taco, and the meat is flavorful, tender, and juicy...but VERY spicy! The only downside to the tacos is that they only give you two small ones for $7, the same price as a more filling burger! read more

Complaint for person running the phones on the south Lamar location on Dec. 16 at 9:38pm The woman that picked up the phone, I believe her name was Kelly R. This person hung up the phone on me when I was asking for assistance on an incorrect order received that evening. I called back several times asking to speak to a manger and this person would hang up on me never allowing me to speak to management. I'm shocked this happened and I will be reporting this to corporate and I will be calling back to speak to a manager because this behavior is NOT acceptable. 1st the order is wrong then the manager hangs up on me! This is how chilantro employees treat their Customers?!?!?! Way to treat a paying customer!!! I do NOT recommend this place at all!!! read more

What we got: Spicy pork rice bowl, kimchi fries I love Chi'lantro. They are a perfect example that the American dream still exists. Their original trailers were my go to spot after a night downtown. With that said, I really want to say I loved their B&M but I can't. As of a a year or two ago, their food has changed. Their fries just aren't the same and portions seem to be smaller while prices are getting higher. The rice bowls weren't anything great either. They were bland and reminded me of how much I wanted some chipotle. Although it's cool that Chi'lantro has become a success, it's sad that I would rather visit their trailer than B&M. If we ever come here again, we'll know to stick with the basics. read more

Didn't try much but still loved what I had. But one important thing to note is that they do NOT take cash. For someone like me who always pays in cash that kind of a bummer, but it was still definitely worth it. The place itself is really clean and the people who work here are super friendly! We came for lunch on a Friday so it wasn't too packed but I imagine this place gets pretty busy on other days. I ordered the ribeye beef kimchi fries and they were absolutely delicious! They are a little bit spicy, but then again I can only handle a little bit of spice so if that's more your style these might not even have any impact on you. But the serving size was huge and filled me up until dinner time which I think is pretty great considering how cheap it was. There's also tons of other cool looking stuff on their menu, so I'll definitely be back here again soon! read more

Their kpop with gangnam sauce (aka asianified sauced chicken wings) were AMAZING - talk about the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The spicy chicken bowl reminded me of bibimbop. The portion size isn't super huge which I personally like. The one thing that made the bowl good rather than great was their black beans. I will definitely ask for less black beans next time. Maybe there will be an option for brown rice sometime in the future? My fiancé enjoyed the spicy burger more than spicy pork bowl he got from a previous visit - he said he'd take the buns over the veggies. The staff is super friendly, which makes everything more pleasant! read more
