If you want me to go get food with you, all you have to do is suggest K-bowl! It's a much healthier option to fast-food, with so much more flavor and heart to it. The food is amazing. You literally cannot go wrong with whatever you order. It seems to be family-owned, which is great. They are always all so nice to you when you order. They prep things in small portions which I like because you get through it fast (their lunch rush is crazy!) and you always have fresh ingredients in your food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one thing I don't like (which is their right to have) the door bell chime every time someone opens the door is very annoying if you sit there to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Otherwise, it's a great spot, definitely check them out... make sure you're going during their business hours too as they close at 3PM.

Seriously addicted to this place! Always consistent and super delicious. Would come here every day if I could. I moved to Las Cruces from Southern California and this place is very comparable to some of the best Korean places there. Family owned and reasonably priced. Easily my favorite place in town.

Only Korean food in town, but K Bowl knows what they're doing. Great flavor, healthy and fresh ingredients. Lots of options to choose from so can have different bowl each time. Beef bulgogi was tender and delicious flavor without being salty or too sweet. Grilled chicken was also excellent. Perfectly grilled and still juicy. Their kimchi was very authentic and perfectly fermented. Enjoy! Highly highly recommend!!

I love their beef bulgogi bowl. I was back in town for my fiancé's graduation. We used to go here often when we used to live there. It's a quick and friendly service. At least when I lived there, there was no other Korean place so I was happy to have K bowl! It looked a little more organized and decorated inside than what I remember:)

Compared to other Korean bowl places (in other towns), this place has larger bowls, more meat per serving, lower price, and the meats/proteins are grilled to order right in front of you. A family owned restaurant, they are only open 4 hours a day (11kam-3pm), and mostly cater to the college crowd from across the street (get there early, or get there late, whatever you do, stay away from 12-2pm. A little disappointed at the "veggie" offerings. You get things like lettuce and corn, rather than bok choy, green cabbage, mushrooms, or squash/zucchini. But what they have is adequate, barely. The chicken, particularly (didn't try the beef or pork), was delicious, with a nice grilled flavor. We got our food to go. Once home, I dumped the bowl into a larger dish and mixed it up for a real meal. Def my new go to place.

We had to give this place a try after it was recommended to us. It's sort of like a Chipotle-style "pick-and-choose" concept restaurant but they also have set bowls you can choose from. I decided to go with a Bulgogi bowl on Sweet Potato Noodles which came out to about $12. You're given the option of selecting 4 veggies and I went with Corn, Pickled Onions, Broccoli and Kim Chee. The Bulgogi was tender and flavorful and as a whole my bowl was very delicious. My only complaint would be that they're open for only a short period of time (11a-3p).

In town for a few hours and looking for food, I decided to try the beef bulgogi bowl from K Bowl and it was an excellent experience. The service was impressively quick; even with a line, I had my takeaway in less than 10 minutes. The food was delicious, offering a tasty and satisfying alternative to typical lunch options like burgers. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the whole experience pleasant. Highly recommend for a quick, flavorful meal!

In a city that doesn't have a ton of quality Asian options, this is a very unique spot with legit food. It is a Chipotle style "build your own bowl" spot with a relatively limited menu. All of the meats (chicken, spicy pork, beef bulgogi) are $10.99 for a base, 4 veggies, your choice of protein, then sauces. Vegetarian options also available. Personally, I went with the salad base with beef bulgogi, kimchi, cucumber kimchi, broccoli, and pickled jalapenos. I got the jalapeno soy sauce along with the gochujang sauce. The quality of the food is outstanding. Super fresh food with high quality meat/vegetables. For spice lovers like myself, I got the hottest options they had to offer and it wasn't overly spicy at all, but left you with a slight tingle. My lone gripe with the spot was the portion size. I get that we're definitely talking about clean eating, but one would hope not to be hungry after spending $13 for lunch at a cheaper spot. Service was outstanding and staff was super friendly. It's counter service and they will gladly answer any questions you have. I will certainly be back amidst my trips to Las Cruces when working at New Mexico State. Busy spot with line nearly out the door and they were able to quickly accommodate people.

Yummy! Yelp brought us to the Mediterranean restaurant 2 doors down, but my taste buds brought us to K-Bowl. Great dinner choice. Large bowls with fresh veggies & grilled to perfection chicken. Mom & pop place. Clean. Seemed like quite a few regulars were coming in to pick up to go meals. If we lived closer, this would be in the rotation.

We loved K Bowl. The food was fresh delicious and cheap. I had the tofu bowl with veggies-Sesame Oil and sweet and sour sauce. It was the bomb.

Unpleasant experience throughout. They got our order wrong and initially were going to charge me to make a correct one! (Astonishing how the first one was incorrect because I repeated what I wanted twice and the order was simple and just for one bowl.) Ultimately I had to bring the old one to give back and they then ungraciously made a correct one. Also they were out of white rice and chicken, pretty key for what they do. At least the second bowl had freshly made tofu and the first bowl was tough and cold. read more

Given the reviews, I was expecting much, much more. It was a far stretch from being great, but I suppose it is the only game in town. Think Panda Express, except Korean. Each item that I tried (@lunch) - bulgogi, white rice, glass noodles, kimchi, and pickled onions were basically fast food quality. Notably, the bulgogi was missing that tasty punch it is known for, including being very light on the garlic, and the meat had the texture of something that had been stewing for far too long. The rice was equally mushy. The noodles were probably the best, as far as consistency goes. I wonder if the quality has dipped since opening, since initial review had me really excited to try this place. That being said, service and location were quite good! read more

So excited to have another solid restaurant option in Las Cruces, including great items for vegetarians and vegans too! This is a straightforward fast casual place--pick rice or yummy marinated Korean Japchae noodles, pick a protein (including tofu), select up to four vegetables including homemade Korean kimchee, cucumber kimchee, pickled onions, and pickled jalapenos, and top with Korean sauces and/or seaweed flakes or sesame seeds. Delightful flavors and fun K-pop music playing as you dine. Super friendly owners too. read more

Talk about bang for your buck. This little casual place is a Korean version of Chipotle. You get your base, choice of protein, and vegetables. Flavors are authentically korean, the spicy pork is spicy but not overwhelming. Be careful, the heat grows on you. The freshly mad fried tofu is also delicious. I would recommend getting half and half protein, adds extra variety to your bowl. The homemade kimchi is a nice cherry on top, not too fermented, and still cruchy. Clean and simple atmosphere. Everything is freshly made. Great local joint! read more

K Bowl is a great way to grab a quick meal with flavors you don't often get in this area. You choose your protein and veggies and they put it into a bowl with your choice of delicious toppings and sauces. I particularly like the cucumber kimchi, the spicy pork, and the sweet sauce, but I've tried several variations, and they've all been good. Reasonably priced and conveniently located on campus, and the proprietors are always friendly. About the only knock I can think of is the complete lack of any ambiance, but most people just get it "to go" anyway (and that's all you can do until the COVID restrictions are eased), so it's not really a problem. read more

K-Bowl is one of my absolute favorite places in Las Cruces!!! Their beef is well cooked and absolutely delicious on top of the glass noodles, and their tofu is TO DIE FOR. I don't normally enjoy tofu, as it is spongy and flavorless but thinking about the tofu at K-Bowl makes my mouth water. They cook it so perfectly and it's addictive. Like another review said, the cucumber kimchi really is slept on! It's one of my favorite things ever and provides a subtle fresh crunch flavor as opposed to the normal kimchi (which is also very good). The owners are incredibly nice!!! I love them!!! I recommend K-Bowl to absolutely everyone and anyone!!! Even picky eaters!! It's sort of like a subway for Asian cuisine, in a way. Please please please check this restaurant out!!! read more

Ultimately, I just needed a couple small bites to tie me over the rest of the day and I settled for the pho taco and shrimp gochujang taco. Both are absolutely excellent and well worth $5 each. They were each HUGE and I was full with just two bites into them! Luckily this area is well equipped with tables and chairs and very open spaced. It seems the business is ran by one guy and everything is made fresh to order. So it took about 5ish minutes or so for my tacos. Not bad at all though! Definitely want to come back and try either a rice bowl or another taco and taiyaki!

Let me start off by saying that the kind lady who I believe is one of the owners was so nice. She reminded me of my own grandmother serving me food with love back then. The food was also delicious and fresh!!!!! Banchan (Korean sides) were so tasty that I asked for more. We got the kimchi jigae, bulgogi plate, and mandu. AMAZING!!!!!!

We have been loyal customers of this restaurant since their days at the Dyer location, and we were…read moreinitially thrilled when they moved to this new spot. Unfortunately, our latest visit was a huge disappointment, and it really feels like the place has lost the spark that once made it our absolute favorite go to spot for Korean food. The biggest issue is the shift from a traditional, full-service dining dynamic to a stripped-down fast-casual setup. With this change, the service quality has dropped noticeably the staff, while friendly, are nowhere near as attentive or engaged as they used to be. On top of that, the food portions have shrunk significantly, and the presentation feels far more basic than before in plastic containers. While the flavor of the food is still genuinely delicious, great taste alone isn't enough to make up for the diminished experience. Charging full sit-down restaurant prices for fast food counter service and smaller portions just doesn't add up. We love this business and really want to keep supporting them, but management seriously needs to rethink this direction. Either bring back the attentive full service model and generous portions we fell in love with, or lower the prices to reflect the new self-service format.

We explained that the cups were empty and we could not find a trash bin nearby, and even offered for them to throw them away, but they refused and repeated the same rule. This was the worst Thai food I have had. I ordered panang curry, and the chicken was very dry. The drunken noodles were unusual, and the oil used did not taste right and upset my stomach. I could not finish the meal even though I do not like wasting food. I wish I could give a lower rating.

So the food seems "clean" - no msg or other junk added. However, it was virtually tasteless. I mean, c'mon, add some garlic, onion, ginger, chile,... there're hundreds of options to add flavor. So yeah, food was bland. First time I got the chicken katsu bowl. The chicken was a bit bland, like the chicken itself had zero seasoning, not marinated for flavor, nothing. The breading was ok. Tempura was ok. Second time, I got Sweet and Sour Pork Soba. It wasn't breaded like most places, and that was ok, because I am Keto. But,... I was also a bit glad that there wasn't a lot of sauce, which is usually sugary elsewhere. However, the sauce in hand, was just like water with a little bit of redish something or other. Sweet and Sour is literally sugar (or SOMETHING sweet, like, perhaps, pineapple... ) and vinegar. This was a bowl of Soba with ten, maybe, 1/2" square chunks of tasteless pork, and 2 TB of cabbage. Bland. Unspiced. Boring. Would I eat there again? Probably not. Unless I was more in the mood for "clean" food, then tasty food. It IS possible to do both!
