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. 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. 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.

Beef Bulgogi Bowl with Japchae Noodles
Kayla M.

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.

Grilled Chicken Bowl

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!!

Beef Bulgogi Bowl

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:)

K-Bowl "mixed" at home. Double Jab Chae noodles, carrots, cucumber kimchi, purple (red) cabbage, jalapeno, with grilled chicken & sesame oil

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.

Bulgogi Bowl on White Rice with Fried Egg

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).

Beef Bulgogi Bowl
Paul-Baptiste B.

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!

Beef bulgogi bowl

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.

mondu
Alex D.

Best Korean food in town! I love the location and how convenient it is to the school. The restaurant was clean and had a good vibe about it. The service was friendly and helpful. Definitely try the mondu! The mondu is hearty and delicious. We also ordered a bulgogi bowl and spicy pork bowl. Both were really good. They have a lot of available sauces -- make sure you experiment with them! Really reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. For the diversity of food in Las Cruces and the price, I give this five stars. We will definitely be back!

Decent Asian rice dishes made on the spot. Noodles were not as good. Short of Asian options in Las Cruces so it is serviceable.

I remember when this place was DGs deli, back in the olden days, and it has really been stripped down. At one point during the cooking there was a huge puff of oily smoke that made one of the four of us have to go outside to get some fresh air. The food was better than I feared it might be. The two diners who had Pho really enjoyed it and their fried egg rolls. My husband wolfed down his entire plate of tofu pad thai. Why was the pad thai orange colored, an orange never seen in nature? I don't know. I had chicken pad thai. In retrospect, the tofu would have been a safer choice. Because even though the chicken was very thinly sliced, I got a few bites that seemed a drop undercooked. You know that yikes-this-is-chicken-sushi flavor? That. So I just ate around the chicken and hoped for the best. The entire front end of the restaurant is run by one middle-aged man who works the register and serves as the waiter and busboy too. So when they are slammed it can be a few minutes until you order, but the food came fast.

She said that the egg was good. My sister-in-law ordered Gom Ramen. She said that it hit the spot. Delicious! We also ordered mandoo. They were served with a light kochojang sauce, and were hot and crispy. I highly recommend this restaurant. We are in town for the BTS concert.
