This is probably where I go “out” to eat the most. Who woulda thunk it? Korean and Mexican fusion tastes so good! This is close enough to work for me to walk there in 5 minutes. I get the bowl and fried tofu as the protein - it’s so good. Tofu takes a lot of abuse from people, but when prepared correctly, it’s very delicious. I started making it at home similar to this food truck. I’ve tried the beef and various chicken options, but always revert back to the tofu. I found the beef too salty the one time I ate it. The chicken is ok. I’ve not had the wrap/burrito, just the bowl.

The K’Pop Chicken Bowl at Chi’Lantro is hands down one of the most flavorful dishes in Austin’s fast-casual food scene. The Korean-inspired fried chicken is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly coated in Chi’Lantro’s signature sweet and spicy K’Pop sauce—it has just the right amount of kick without being overwhelming.
What makes this bowl stand out is the balance: fluffy rice (or noodles if you prefer), fresh veggies, and that addictive drizzle of Chi’Lantro’s magic sauce tie everything together. Every bite hits a mix of savory, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors that keep you coming back for more.
The portion size is generous, making it great for lunch or dinner, and the consistency is spot-on—you know exactly what you’re getting every time. Pairing it with their kimchi fries is a must if you want the full Chi’Lantro experience.
If you’re looking for a go-to comfort meal in Austin that delivers both flavor and value, the K’Pop Chicken Bowl is a winner.

I thought I found true happiness in Jesus, but no it’s Chi’Lantro I would actually sell my dog to eat here everyday it’s so damn good for no reason. You come in and think ok it’s kinda like chipotle but no, it is its own thing and sweeps you off your feet like an ex gf texting you from years ago that you actually liked and you’ll respond everytime… when Chi’Lantro calls 😏

They're out of stock of eggs and my order was the bimbimbap which supposedly has an egg on it. However, the two ladies that served me put extra avocado and the peach basil lemonade drink that I ordered was for free as a replacement! such a nice gesture :) they're so polite too :)

Delicious tofu noodle bowl. Would eat here again. I found the portion large and very filling for a lunch.

When East meets West, there will always be sparks. I got the noodles with both steak and pork, yummy 😋 Savory and spicy, wash down with a cold drink, perfect for the weather.

Real tasty. Great service. I was working in an office down the way here in Austin I’m glad I went. Such a fun combination of flavors. I went with the bulgogi steak and the glazed chicken with a fried egg and guacamole. Kind of has a Cava or Chipotle vibe if you’re used to that make it your own speed service. Worth trying.
Food was great. I got there near closing and so they were out of certain items, but they had great recommendations with what was there and I ended up with a fantastic bowl.

Terrible portions for the price. My “double steak” with a spinach base had barely one scoop of meat and a tiny amount of spinach. The “steak” looked more like ground beef. Still cost $20+.
