| - So far, everything we've tried has been great. Don't let the tiny size and modest decor fool you. Great, freshly prepared Korean fast and not so fast food. Everything is made after you order, so allow 10 or 15 minutes. It will be worth the wait.
As someone else noted, much of the staff speaks poor (even no) English. So, if you know what you want and it is on the menu you will be fine just pointing to what you want. But, if you have a question about how something is prepared or what ingredients it may have, you might have problems unless you speak Korean. BUT, and this is important, other patrons may bail you out. Even the patrons have been friendly when we've visited. It seems that many of the patrons speak Korean as they sometimes engage in banter with the cashier; don't take this as a bad sign. When my wife had a question, the patron jumped right in translating her question, and then giving the answer back. Twice we've been invited to sit with other patrons (seating is quite limited). Does delicious Korean food make people happy? One could draw that conclusion. (But, the couple we were sitting with simply explained that this is the best Korean food in town, they like the owners and workers, and they want the place to do well so they are more than happy to help out and make it pleasant for everyone.) Your experience may vary, of course. Not everyone will be that friendly, and very often we've been the only patrons in the store.
They take phone-in orders for take-out. I am guessing, but I suspect that this is most successful if you can speak Korean. Plus, I want to know what the specials are.
We love the Spicy Squid-- not deep fried like the Chinese restaurants. It comes in a nice spicy red stew accompanied by rice. Also the Grilled Eel and the Spicy Seafood Steam are excellent. The family vegetarians have fewer choices, but the Vegetables Bibimbap, the fried noodles, and the vegetable fried rice have kept our resident vegetarian happy.
It has an unfortunate location. A little too far for a lot of campus town residents to visit on foot, and a little too hidden for commuters (and the parking lot is a bit hard to get in and out of in traffic) . We visit when we think of it, but it has too little visibility for us to stop by on impulse. (We even end up at El Charro more often, and their parking is harder, but the store so much more visible so we're more likely to think of it when driving home after work.) Nonetheless, I think K-Bowl is a great addition to the local food scene. Not as fancy as B-Won, but a lot cheaper and as good or better food.
