Chi'Lantro

The combination of spices was excellent. We will certainly return. The service was exceptional. The tacos were generously portioned. The K-pop music was enjoyable. The steak was delectable.

This review is for their Houston Heights location, which I visited recently (Chil’antro is originally a chain from Austin). The food here is pretty tasty although a bit pricey, but still worth a try IMO. They have typical fusion items such as kimchi fries and chicken wings, but my favorite menu item by far was their Chi’lantro Mexican-style Bibimbap ($15), which is a unique mix between the Mexican taco bowl and Korean rice bowl dish Bibimbap. The bowl is pretty healthy as far as Korean-Mexican fusion goes and I would come back just for the bowl I think. It reminded me of a Chipotle bowl, but with better quality ingredients (for a higher price) and a Korean twist. The inside is pretty new and has modern decor, a good spot for a quick lunch or dinner IMO.

Props to this place they offered half off during beryl hurricane . We had 4 days no electricity and still ongoing and have been here almost every night after we get off from work at hospital. Can’t thank them enough for this gesture of kindness while we wait for electricity to come back and also, the food is just bomb. I love Korean food and to have some fresh quick and savory is just a light in the dark !!

Korean Chipotle 😎 Love the concept and flavors. Pick and choose what you want and viola - meal is served. The fried egg option is a nice touch so are the flavored lemonade Happy eating

stumbled across this place accidentally and i’m glad i did!! this place is better than chipotle in my opinion. the workers were so friendly and my bowl was delicious!! i would have to skip out on the korean chicken wings, because of how small they were. however i would love to be back when i’m in the area!

Yes, I do…give them 5 stars across the board bc not only are they fast, the food is fresh (chicken on the grill), the new KPop Chicken has an even heat that is not over bearing, large food servings (I always take a to go box) and the team is always smiling. We all loved it!

Drove over 30 minutes to try this place . IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTH IT ! I had a craving for Kimchi Fries and they did not fail me . The customer service and speed of service was perfect for that “lunchtime rush” . The cleanliness of the restaurant and bathrooms makes me confident in the quality of restaurant and standards they uphold. I had the fries with sweet and spicy “K Pop” chicken and added an Egg ! The sauces and kimchi were amazing . My coworker’s first time trying kimchi fries and she too agreed it was amazing. I also tried their basil peach lemonade . It was different! Which I enjoyed because it’s unique to their business . I will definitely be back to try more variations of the kimchi fries

great lunch spot! the food had a pretty healthy feel and tasted really good! the toppings are very versatile and you can get so many different combination of ingredients based on what you’re feeling. i also had a peach basil tea which was really good kinda sweet but i loved it. the interior was also great spot to vibe and had a lot of parking which i appreciated. will come for lunch again!
