The special is so delicious!!! My favorite is the kalbi it is thick and tender. I highly recommend Mama Woo’s for great food, very friendly staff, perfect portions, clean and inviting atmosphere.

All time Korean food here in Honolulu. Delicious mains and sides, excellent service, so fast and friendly! Quick in and out operation that is extremely clean. I’ve never met someone who doesn’t love the food here, either!
I have been buying take away every once in a while over a few years and they have been always friendly and very casual (in Korean way). In 2023 price for almost everything has gone up but this place hasn't changed the price compared to about 1 year ago. The potion is still generous. Good choices for protein and can have great amount of veggies too. Love this place.
Take away only.
Aloha!

Tasty homemade Korean food but the process was a little hectic and confusing during peak dinner time. You order from an overhead menu, choose three sides cafeteria style which they scoop right away and then stack until the kitchen makes your main. I went in for two dinner plates (fish jun and bulgogi )and decided to add soup and squid. Everything comes with sides so I ended up with enough food for 5-6 people! The bulgogi and seaweed soup were really good as were most of the sides.
It’s standing room only inside so if you can, I would suggest ordering ahead. There were a couple of people waiting when I arrived but the phone kept ringing off the hook as they took our orders. Pandemonium! but more so for us watching I think. Somehow they keep track of all the orders by writing on the boxes. They had a little slip up with my order and apologized profusely for the wait. It didn’t take that long but there were people waiting outside when I left.
Visited Hawaii recently and took a Chance and stopped by the ( google ) highly rated mama woos ! DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Highly recommend the mama’s special - you will not regret it. That’s the first pic , second is the chicken plate . Very plentiful! Comes with four sides each 😱 for the sides we loved the potatoes which were super tasty , the cabbage with red sauce, as well as the fried egg plant 🤤 YUM . Service is also amazing! She was so nice and patient . We asked many questions. It is carry out only but we didn’t mind, we ate in the car . We appreciate the small businesses , especially ones like these that serve your plates so generously! Keep it up Mama Woos! Texans love you! Next time we’re in town, we’re going back.
Super friendly staff, great barbecue flavor and good value. I'd never tried this place though I'd passed it many times. I saw the positive reviews and menu shots on Maps and decided to check it out. It does not disappoint.
One thing if you want to tip, which is likely: bring cash. They run cards but can't add tips to the sale.
There are few places that come to hit the spot like Mama Woo’s. The plates are amazing but the sides are heavenly. $20 at Mama Woo’s will probably the best $20 you will spend when wanting Korean take out. Mama Woo is also super nice. I recommend calling in before then you have the food ready and pick the sides when you come in.
Great bang for your buck! Will definitely come back! And the kimchi pancakes are wonderful too!
This is take out only. I always get the same thing. The bulgogi, kalbi, and chicken wings are hit or miss sometimes. The bbq chicken is always good. I like that you get four sides with your order. The kimchi, seaweed, and radish are always great. The price on the #11 has gone up $3 from last year. That being said, in my opinion, it is plenty of food. More than enough for two people to share.
