Simple quick fix of homemade Korean dishes at a reasonable price. No frills or fancy stuff, just a quick easy meal when you're not in the mood for cooking and don't want to break the bank!

Spicy pork
Warrene C.

Takeout only. In addition to the spicy pork I also ordered a side of jap chae. This is one of the best Korean food I've had. The spicy pork and side veggies were delicious and generous. Their jap chae is the best I've tasted. The food portions are generous and the price reasonable. The order taker was very gracious. Will order here again.

Spicy pork/ bulgogi combo
Kylee T.

Wahiawa never fails me for food options, went for the first time to grab a bulgogi/spicy pork combo and 12 pc fried mandoo. You ever go to your Korean friend's house as a kid and their mom feeds you, well that's how I felt eating this food. I ended up giving away my mandoo plate to a homeless uncle, but she gave one in the plate and it was ONO. I should've went back to grab some more. Only had one "mom" working so it's a bit of a wait, but completely worth it especially for the price. I'm coming here all the time from now on. Oh and it's a hole in the wall/take-out spot but they do take card.

Combo plate with spicy chicken and meat Jun

Looked at all of my usual Korean spots on yelp and it seems like they've all gotten worse with time. Found this place on here and my god. They have a new regular! The spicy chicken and japchae was so freaking good. I wanted a whole plate with just that lol. I'm gonna guess that the lady that helped me at the window was one of the 2 moms haha. She was so nice! 10/5 stars!!!

2 moms kitchen located in Wahiawa on N. Cane street across of Mako gas station. Decided to pick up some plate lunch for visitors to try and picnic at the beach. Tue spicy pork was very tasty and spicy it came with 2 scoops rice and vegetables sided dishes. The Bim Bim bap was also very good and good portions. The meat Jun was very tender and tasty and the dipping sauce was also very good, Must have been one of the 2 moms that took my order and cooked the food, she was so friendly and nice. Parking is on the street along side of the business there. No sitting area for take out only! If you are in a rush it is better to call in your order ahead of time.

kalbi + meat jhun combo
Scott M.

street parking right outside. put in our orders for a kalbi meat jun combo and a japchae to go. took a few minutes to make which gave us a lil time to check out the fishing store nearby while we waited. generous portion of japchae.. was pretty ono. da mini ate da kalbi plate. was ok. 2 local ladies run em... go check em out.

A take out Korean place in Wahiawa, next to a closed eatery & fishing supply store. You stand outside a widow with a plastic covering to order Once done, you wait while they prepare your food in our case 3 plates about 20 mins. No frills , good Korean entrees & reasonable prices! Food was tasty, with good portions, served in multi use containers! Highly recommend, than go to the Wahiawa Botanical Gardens or place of choice & have a delicious Korean Meal! Support 2 Mom's! Hard working ladies!

Kalbi Combo plate & Bulgogi plate.  Ono!!

Their Khalbi is so tender & flavorful, & the BBQ chicken, as well as the side veggies are awesome. Made fresh to go by a very gracious "Mom".

Meat Jhun, rice, bean sprouts, Choy sum, Kim chee, cucumber Kim chee, daikon, love.

If you're driving right now please pull over to the side of the road. Great! Now open up your gps app of choice and punch in this place. Don't ask, just follow the directions!! The gps' ones. Or mines... I was driving home craving some meat jhun. I was going to go to a place I remember when I was young but having been there twice in the past few years. It just didn't remind me of my childhood memories. I did the usual, searched by stars, read reviews. Decided to give this place a shot. I will not lie, I was a little frustrated in trying to find this place, it's literally a hole in the wall kind of place. You really need to know what you're looking for and where you're looking for it. However I found it. I got to the window to order and it was really quiet. I sat for about 20 seconds and thought maybe no one knew I was there. And then I saw her literally the cutest little old lady approach the window. My crappy day at work literally faded from my mind and was instantly replaced with the warm calm of this ladies humbleness. She took my order, answered all the questions I had and I finished our conversation by asking if she worked on Sunday (it was only Friday, I haven't even tried this place yet) and I was already considering my second return because of how disarming the lady was to the stresses I had been carrying with me. Her response? She paused for a second and said yes I will be here, but after church. Then she placed her hand on something that was on her wall and she said I have to give my blessings for the blessings I received. I told myself, I'm coming back here again. Even though I don't go to church, this lady was emanating so much love that I can honestly say I felt blessed having found this place. lol I know crazy right? Yah yah yah but how was the food you must be dying to know! You're absolutely right! You've been dying since the day you were born but you're in luck cause my meat jhun was awesome and you're having a rough day, come visit this lady and she'll probably have you realizing you were happy you ended up there as well! I normally don't write reviews unless they were really deserving. This place was!!! If you read this today or tomorrow, see you Sunday! :)

Meat Jun & BBQ Chicken, Spicy Pork, Chop Jae
Derek Y.

First time here, always drive by here for years, Only street parking. New Owners for the pass 3-months. If you're in the Wahiawa area. Give this place a try. The Meat Jun and Spicy Pork was good . The bbq chicken a little salty. Aloha, Derek

For family dinner one night, some of us were ono for Korean food. Firing up the trusty Yelp app, there were several recommendations. We ended up going with 2 Mom's Kitchen in Wahiawa. Yelp reviews said that 2MK was takeout and street parking only, which is true. But it didn't really make an impact for us for Sunday dinner. Reviews also mentioned that they were made to order, so it's best to call before heading over. Made the phone order and made my way there. As mentioned this was late Sunday afternoon, so there was no problem finding street parking along N. Cane Street. 2MK is in the same building as Sawada Fishing Store on the corner. We made our made way to the window to pay for our order. 2 mix plates, one with kalbi, and a side order of mandoo totaled under a little under $40. Bringing back the food to Mom's house, the plates were heavy and smelled great! The banchan sides were on the small end, but there were a lot of rice and meat! My parents shared a bulgogi & meat jun combo, and I had a kalbi & meat jun combo. The marinated meat in the meat jun was soft & tasty, and the kalbi was meaty with great big flavor! I had enough for leftovers. Very enjoyable, will repeat and recommend!

Meat jun/spicy pork combo for $13.50 Wanted to try this place out saw it on Yelp. The spicy pork was good and the meat jun was alright. If I was in a hurry I would stop by was fast, but would probably go up the road for meatjun Will come back to try more menu items in the near future

This place is a mililani staple and I grew up eating their food…read more The meat jun is always my go to and it's so good! I love that it's not overcooked so the egg coating doesn't get too dried out. Their meat jun sauce is also one of the best. The meat is a little on the thin side though. Their banchan was all pretty good with some unique stuff like this one thing with thin sliced fish cake like things. The Kim chi is top notch. The chop chae was another winner. Good flavor with a nice variety of veggies in there and pretty big pieces of beef. You can get the mandoo steamed or fried and we got steamed. I thought it was a little bland but it's also probably better fried. Not a problem for us but if you're vegetarian be aware that the tofu soup has clams in it.

Great Food, but the Service and Wait Times Are Extremely Disappointing…read more This Korean restaurant used to be one of my favorites, so it's really disappointing to write this review. Unfortunately, the service and wait times have gotten to the point where dining in is just not worth it anymore. We waited an entire hour just to be seated. When we arrived, there was one table with a reserved sign and another that simply needed to be cleared. There was only one party ahead of us on the waitlist, and they were seated shortly after we arrived. We actually experienced something similar last week when we were told it would be an hour wait, but decided not to stay. What made the experience even more frustrating was watching customers finish their meals and leave, only for ALL the tables to remain uncleared until everyone had left. There seemed to be no urgency to prepare tables for waiting customers. The waitlist itself was also poorly managed. They don't even cross off names of customers who have already been seated, making it appear as though there are still several parties waiting. This is misleading for customers arriving later who are trying to determine how long the wait actually is. Once we were finally seated, things didn't improve. We were the first group waiting to have our order taken, yet the lady took the order of the group seated after us first. The same thing happened to the couple who had been waiting behind that group. Instead of taking their order next, she served another couple who had arrived after them. There seemed to be absolutely no consideration for the order in which customers arrived or were seated. Meanwhile, walk-in takeout orders continued to come in, further delaying service for customers already seated and waiting. It appears the restaurant is severely understaffed, with only one man cooking and one lady handling everything else. I understand how overwhelming that must be, but the lack of organization makes the entire dining experience frustrating. Customers shouldn't have to wait an hour to be seated, only to be overlooked when it's time to order. The unfortunate part is that I genuinely love the food here, especially the kimchi and other banchan. That's what has kept us coming back. But they really need additional help and a better system for managing tables, waitlists, and orders. Sadly, this will be our last time dining in. We'll stick to takeout and look for another Korean restaurant where we can actually enjoy a sit-down meal without the excessive wait and frustration. The food is still great, but the dining experience is definitely not worth the wait.

Finally able to try his place after nagging my Husbabe that ive been wanting to try it out because…read moreof the hype from the people in Wahiawa. This spot is located on the corner of Kilani Ave and Cane St. I personally didn't go in as my Husbabe was the one in the area so I asked if he could stop by. This review is solely in regards to the bento food, not the side dishes that offer. Husbabe stated nice friendly younger worker that was there and a few people in line. We decided to go with LOTS of sides and try out the bento since everyone been hyping the food out here. I got the meatjun bento, which came with chap jae, daikon rice and furikake. My Husbabe got the fishjun bento which also came with the same sides. Let's talk about the bento. My honest review because I had really high hopes, but let's be clear before I go on. We are going to go back and try again, maybe earlier in the day as it was in the afternoon already (12ish). Okay so, the meatjun was really mushy, I thought maybe just that one piece I had, literally couldn't taste the meat, everything seemed mushed together. I tried a 2nd piece and samething. I was really sad :(. I really wanted it to be good. The chap jae was good.The bentos are room temp laid out on a table and not under any sort of warmer, so literally a grab and go. My husband said the same about his fishjun :( . The sauce that came with the meatjun was extremely odd, tasted heavy of some sort of soy sauce. We got gyoza and that was okay, the sauce was the same sauce as the meatjun, so I just made my own sauce. Now let's get to the sides. SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD! My husband got the load of variety (pictured below). We are definitely gonna go back to try the bentos again and I gotta say the sides are so worth it tho and that kimchee, chef's kiss...

This family business is trying to do anything crazy. They stick to what they know they do well--and that's making these local comfort foods--saimin, teri & bbq burgers (and other local platter that I also still need to try). First of all, who knew that burger and saimin combo went together so well?! My burger was great. You could tell it's not just some frozen patty, it legit tastes like a homemade burger. It doesn't look like anything life changing but my does it hittttt. However, I wish I got the bbq burger bc I thought it be a pastey sauce but it's subtle and they make that bbq sauce!! I'm assuming it's the same with the Teri burger. The workers are very hardworking and welcoming. And the place is def cozy. They do the best with what they have.

There is a door that says take out so you open that door and they come and help you when you open it. There is another door for dining in. The man came, asked me for my name and had the order correct on his device. We waited a couple of minutes and he brought our hamburger steak plate, 5 burgers, fried udon, fried saimin, and saimin. They separated the soup and the noodles and that costs $.50. Our order totaled $94. I was kinda taken aback by the total but I guess it's the price nowadays. $94 fed 6 people. The order was correct, which isn't always guaranteed nowadays! Props to them! My family enjoyed the burgers. The hamburger steak plate could've used more gravy. The fried udon was good, but the fried saimin was way too salty. Maybe it was an off night for fried saimin.
