Chi'Lantro: Where Bold Flavors Meet Friendly Service in Austin

Chi’Lantro? I hardly know her! LOL, but let’s get real. Even though it’s 2025 I’m still #StopAsianHate, so I decided to go to an Asian Chipotle instead of the Chipotle down the street (The line was just too long). The service was quick (because it’s empty - everyone is at Chipotle) the food is good, but the portions are small. But I’ll come clean, I have the palette of a spoiled upper middle class 12 year old - I’m not one to judge the food. This is my first time in 5 years eating rice because I was too nervous to be seen as “that white boy who comes in here and just orders chicken with no rice”. The rice is good (I think) and the spicy chicken is spicy

I went to Chi’Lantro a couple of years ago, and I got to say I didn’t like it very much. I decided to go in and try it out today, give it a second chance, and it did not disappoint. I was helped out by Sofia, she gave great customer service. She help me decide what I should get by describing the options really well, and giving me her favorite recommendations. The staff is welcoming and very friendly. The space is very neat, clean, and suitable for a quick stop lunch. I’ve been to the restaurants next-door, but I got to say this spot just became one of my favorites! The menu is very well put together. They only except card, no cash. They even include an allergen list by the very entrance, so that you know what you can, or cannot eat if you have any allergies. Super helpful.

Great food & great service! Lots of options for both protiens and veggies. Not to mention, the magic sauce is delicious. My go-to is a K-Pop chicken bowl with noodles+rice, veggies, & avocado. But it's hard to go wrong at Chi'lantro regardless of what you pick. Plus the staff is always friendly and accommodating, Thanks so much!

I came today to get lunch. The food is still really good here. Depends on what you get but at this location specifically they are very stingy And most of the employees don't understand English very well, so they definitely need a little bit of training when it comes to management. But overall the experience wasn't too bad besides me having to pay extra for the rice. They didn't even give me the regular size serving I'm a growing woman

-Food, fantastic! Full of flavor, very fresh, enough to fill me up. Everything looked appetizing and topped off. Great job on the presentation. I recommend the spicy pork! Great flavor. -Service, friendly! Cordial welcome, server explained different sauces, items, and recommend what complimented what I wanted. -Atmosphere, yikes! As soon as I went into the restaurant I could smell that someone blew up the restroom. They should really consider a better ventilation system for the restroom. Specially being so close to the eating area.

I have gluten intolerance so I tend to feel left out when eating out. It's hard to find places to eat, however my Husband took me here come to find out they have a lot of gluten free options for people like me, I really appreciate that Chilantro has a allergy chart to help deciding on what to get. The lady at the front counter, Adrianna was super helpful and answered all of my questions promptly and efficiently. She provided excellent customer service by also understanding my intolerance issues, which others would usually be "annoyed" by. Everyone else here was nice too and very welcoming! Needless to say I will be coming back often! With customer service like this Chipotle won't stand a chance :]

It was my first time going, and loved it! Very friendly and delicious rice bowls. I got the K’pop Chicken bowl and it was tasty with their spicy ranch. I ate through that bowl so quickly
