Great team and super quick and amazing work. Levi was fantastic!! Great service, would go again
Have been in Austin for 8 years and consistently come to Chi'Lantro for lunch and dinner. Great place to bring out-of-towners as well!
Service was fantastic, food was very generous on portion and very flavorful, very unique take on Korean and Mexican cuisine. There's many locations with different elements of ambiance, I went to the food truck on congress and there was no line and my food was prepared in a very timely manner. Overall, loved coming here, and will come back.
I love ChiLantro!! When I need an abundance of delicious Korean food on demand i go here. It's like high-quality chipotle but Korean. Yum. I want it now that I'm writing this.
First time visit for me and I was very pleased with my order. The B'Bimbap was delicious and the portion was quite generous. The price for my bowl was around $16 due to the steak (up charge). This location seems pretty popular - dining area was busy and some add-ons were sold out. Overall decent spot for lunch - I do recommend.
Came in from AZ to get some great Austin food. One of my clients mentioned Chi'lantro. We bopped in for lunch. I had the famous fries. They were very good! The layers of flavors & sauces were spot on. Perhaps the fries were a little under done. If they been crispier they would have held up to the wet toppings better. My husband had a pop chicken bowl. Very good as well.
Went here for a business lunch after the Apple Store employee recommended it. I love Korean food but did not know what to expect. A man who I assume was the manager or owner came out to greet us and help us pick our meals. Everything was amazing. I got the bibimbap bowl and my colleague made his own. We both loved it! I also tried the glass noodles and loved those. They even had kombucha. The Restaurant was very clean and bright, it was a perfect spot for us. If I am ever in Austin again I will definitely be back!
