I ordered the noodle bowl featuring Korean BBQ steak, caramelized kimchi, grilled corn, and Korean esquites. While I typically enjoy corn, I wasn’t fond of their grilled corn or the esquites; there was something about their flavor that didn’t sit right with me. However, I found the rest of the dish to be really delicious, and I would certainly order the noodle bowl with steak and caramelized kimchi again.

I tried the spicy pork rice bowl with kimchi, and it was delicious. The line moved quickly, and there was plenty of seating available, making it an ideal spot for lunch. I would definitely return to explore more items on the menu.

The ladies behind the counter were incredibly sweet and attentive, making it fun to talk and place our orders with them. Personally, I believe that friendly staff contributes to delicious food, and this team was definitely friendly. We ordered the rice bowl, and as someone who leans more toward the carnivore side, I found the meat to be flavorful and tender, which complemented the rest of the bowl perfectly. The rice was fluffy and delicious, and the corn and greens were fresh. We sat at the high-tops inside while we waited for our Uber, and we finished our drinks at an outside table. I would recommend both seating areas; however, I'm not certain if the outside area is covered, as it wasn't raining during our visit.

The kimchi fries are a must-try and incredibly enjoyable. It's a healthy choice, and you can have a great dining experience there. However, it’s important to note that Chi'Lantro was once considered one of the best food trucks in Austin, and it has now become just another decent restaurant in the area.
