Whenever I buy my dog's food at Heart of Town, I get my Korean food fix at Mama Woo's BBQ. Although people have said they missed the previous management, I think the current owners are doing a great job. Today, I got my favorite cold noodle dish, bi bim kook soon. You get to choose the heat. Mild or medium is usually good for me. I also like to get a plate of just side dishes. In the selection of sides you'll find what you expect to see - cucumber kim chee, cabbage kim chee, seaweed, choy sum, seaweed, broccoli, corn, shoyu potato, etc. But, what is unique here (and what I always get) are the fried eggplant bites and the potato/sweet potato salad. This is really a takeout place. There are table and chairs but it's mostly there for people waiting for their takeout. I don't usually have trouble finding parking in the lot in front. Although it can get busy during meal time because Wagaya shares the lot. Another plus is that the people behind the counter are very helpful and do their best to get orders out.
Mama Woo's offers generously portioned Korean-style plate lunches. Located in the McCully area, this business has both lunch and dinner options. Customer service is always excellent here. You can place a phone order to avoid waiting, though they're always fast! My boyfriend and I appreciate the portions here. Banchan is filled to the brim, making the prices worth it! I usually get full tackling a mini. Only time I was disappointed was with the house special spicy squid. Not much to eat and little flavor. The meat options are good though!
Solid place to pick up take out Korean food. Service is excellent and genuinely nice (with a lot of humor added in). I think the portions are generous . And you have the option of selecting four different banchan! My go to has been the Korean Meatball Jun (ground beef, pork and tofu with Korean spices). Yum! They are made to order, so the eggy part has a delightful crisp when you bite into it. It's hit or miss with finding an empty stall in the parking lot during lunch hour. Most times I've been lucky though so not an issue.
Yes Saaaahhhhh !!!! This is the place to get A huge Korean plate lunch !! Today I ordered the mama woos plate ($24) which came with four sides, Kal Bi, barbecue, chicken, spicy chicken wing, & beef. Which all were delicious. Service was great, as she welcomed us in, and answered any questions that we had. The restaurant is pretty casual, takeout only. There is street parking, and a limited private lot. Mama's woos is a must try! Follow me on Insta: @noodlesoupr
First tried here probably close to 10 years ago and recently returned for the husband's birthday weekend. He wanted Korean takeout that wouldn't break the bank, wasn't too fancy, and was filling and I'm glad we ended up here. The restaurant is located right across from McDonalds and in the same shopping complex as Wagaya on King Street. Easy enough to find parking in the lot or on the street. Service is good and quick which is needed for a takeout small place like this. I got a Kalbi and meat jun plate and the husband got the meatball and the katsu. We both thoroughly enjoyed all of our food and of course shared a little of everything too. The banchans were tasty, there's a huge variety, and portions are pretty plentiful. The fried food was freshly cooked, hot, crispy, and not oily. My husband was so confused why I didn't bring him here sooner but we know it's going to be in our rotation now. Sauces are 25 cents extra if it doesn't come with the plate already and it's worth it. We owe the dude a quarter still so we'll 100% be back! The plates are heavy and easily make two meals each.
There are only a handful of Korean restaurants that I enjoy going to and Mama Woo's is one of them. It's easy to order since you can do online ordering. Ordered the the XL family pack which comes with Kalbi, meat Jun, mandoo, bbq chicken, bulgogi, spicy pork, rice and 4 choices of vegetables. Also ordered a side of meat Jun and KimChee Stew (you can choose your spice level). Placed the order a day before pick up which is very convenient. The food was ready at the time I had requested. Everything in the family pack was delicious, even the banchan. The kimchee stew was also flavorful. We had lots of leftovers and having good Korean food always hits the spot.
I've passed by Mama Woo's BBQ over the years and always told myself that I have to try them next time I don't know what I want to eat for lunch. Each time I ended up going to have pho lol. It wasn't until I finally put aside my pho cravings to check them out. They are located in the same lot and share the same parking with Wagaya. Mama Woo's BBQ has been around for about 24 years and offers Korean food. The current owner, Charlie and his family, have owned it for about a year. You can dine in or take out. They also offer catering. I called in my order of 1 BBQ Chicken plate and 1 Meat Jun with Kalbi plate. They told me it'll be ready in 10-15 minutes. I arrived and it was ready on time. You get 4 sides with each plate and the meat is laying on a bed of rice. I chose eggplant, potatoes, bean sprouts and cabbage. Their eggplant was surprisingly very good so give it a try! The other plate was 2 orders of broccoli and 2 orders of Chap Chae. Customer service was friendly and I got a chance to learn about their business from Charlie. The food was good and I was stuffed after eating the entire plate. Great option for Korean food in the Moiliili area.
Mama Woo's bbq is the BEST restaurant I've visited. I'm Korean-American and this was the best spot with the most generous portions and crazy amazing service. The lady in the front is the sweetest and most hardworking lady!! The food here Is ridiculously good and the huge portions make it that much better. You go in and order a plate and choose 4 sides I recommend the eggplant, japchae, pickled cucumbers, and kimchi and even the cabbage too. I ordered the mama special plate and I was truly blown away and felt as if this was the best bang for the buck. 2 meals basically! I Truly will become a regular here!!!
I was craving to eat Spicy Pork. After going thru a number of options I picked Mama Woo's. Haven't been hear in awhile so I was hoping that the food was still good. YES, the Spicy Pork was delicious. Ordered the mini and was surprised at how big the potion was. You get two choices of banchan. I picked Seaweed and daikon . Both were good. My wife had a mini Meat Chun. With potatoes and Chap Jai as her sides. The restaurant is now carrying out only. The two tables for dine in is against the wall and the chairs setup for waiting. Service was excellent. She even held the door open for me as I exited. Enjoy
While there is a small parking lot and limited street parking, Mama Woo's is a solid spot to head to for Korean food. Located on King Street next to a small array of other businesses, it is visible on the corner from the road. There is some seating inside but it seems to be for waiting for your food. It is mainly waiting space and the counter inside. The counter is straight ahead with a menu behind the counter and a selection of food on the counter to help you pick your sides. We like to get the meat jun, fish jun, and BBQ chicken. Each of these is tasty and consistent each time we order. Some of our favorite sides are the fried eggplant (so good!), shoyu potatoes, japchae, and tteokbokki. While I have seen most of the sides at other Korean spots, I have not really seen fried eggplant before. It is definitely my favorite of the sides. It is thick and tasty with a sort of fried dough and eggplant flavor. Each plate we get is about $18 but the portions are large enough as to where one plate can last multiple meals. It comes out as a deal and it so yummy. Definitely recommend giving Mama Woo's a try!
Take out system online was so easy to use and quick for the food to be ready we did the mini family set that comes with chicken, kalbi, bulgogi and meat Jun. You can choose from 4 of the side dishes which we went for the cucumber which was watery and okay, daikon which was super sour, wakame which was good, and the bean sprouts which you can't go wrong with! When I went for pick up the service was quick and easy with no other customers inside at around 7pm!

Our friend recommended this place when we asked him where his favorite spot for kalbi was. He's also a photographer for restaurant websites, so he always seems to have some good recommendations for us! This is takeout only--there's no dine-in area. It's also more like a caterer, which makes it a great option for parties or larger gatherings. I would definitely come back here for party trays. The beef kalbi is full of flavor and would be my must-order. We tried the Mama Woo Special, which came with BBQ chicken, kalbi, and BBQ beef. The chicken and kalbi were both yummy! The BBQ beef was probably my least favorite, although my husband really liked it. Funny how we have completely different preferences--I like a little more fat, he doesn't. He likes the char, and I'm not as crazy about it. You also get to choose four sides, which makes it hard to decide! After we picked ours, we were told that the fried eggplant is their second most popular side. Since it was our first time, we probably should have asked which sides were the most popular before choosing. Overall, we would definitely come back. The portions are generous enough to share, IMO, and I think this would be a great place to order from for a party or family gathering. They have parking too read more
Hands down the best Korean BBQ place to get takeout! Our family loves all the flavors of the family packs which come with an assortment of meats and banchans! Perfect for easy dinners that taste amazing and include so much food you'll have enough for lunch the next day! Everything is so flavorful and always prepared to perfection. I've even stopped by just to pickup banchan since all of those are so tasty as well. They also sell combo plates which have a lot of food included as well. Highly recommend calling the order in ahead of time (even hours ahead of around any holiday) for easy pickup. The inside is very small with only a small counter and a couple seats to wait. The parking lot is small but I've always been able to find a spot. Love me some mama woo's! read more

I ORDERED THE SPECIAL WITH A SIDE ORDER OF MANDOO VIA DOORDASH. Everything was excellent ... good quality all the way around. Kalbi was tender and tasty. Chicken was also tasty. I really can't say anything bad about the order. Will be getting more food from this place in the future. read more

Welcome to Mama Woo's Bbq in the MCULLY area on the island of OAHU. It's located on the left side while driving down south king street. As for PARKING - They share parking stalls with other business partners in the same building there in. Also there is street parking available but please kindly read the street parking signs on when can you park. Food - We ordered the medium family pack and I'd say it was good and good amount of meat and veggie sides as well. There was KALBI short beef short ribs in the family pack but I was not to pleased with the Kalbi meat portion and the Kalbi cut, it was thinly sliced Kalbi was expecting it to be more on the thicker cut side. One thing I very like was their Okinawan potato salad I give them a thumbs up on that veggie side choice. Ambiance - nothing to fancy just simple Resturant with a take out counter and I believe with couple chairs and tables. I'll have to double check on that when I go again. Posted on 2/2025 read more

The original Mama Woo has retired. I've been eating her food since she was next to Costco tire shop Hawaii Kai, so at least 2 decades. Initially I heard mixed reviews, like the food wasn't as good anymore now that there's a new owner so I stayed away. Then one day a few months ago I really wanted meat Jun so I gave it a try AND GUESS WHAT? CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED. Thank you new owners! This is KEY, because the original owners were cash only for the last 25 yrs, and a lot of times I avoided this place because I don't have cash. BANCHANS are better! It's like they took all her recipes and made it just a little better! The eggplant is definitely better now, and the potato salad is perfect! Cabbage and greens are tasty. Dang everything is better. MEAT JUN is better! So before, the meat Jun was little bit dry and didn't have as much flavor. Now it tastes like it's been marinated longer and better cuts of meat(?) or something. Definitely an improvement. The sauce is still the same tho. SERVICE was very good. There was a younger Asian guy who was in the front now. I didn't ask his name but he's great. Sometimes a change in ownership is a good thing. read more
The parking is a little weird because once you head in you have to back out and make a turn around in front of the building. Only has take out and is similar to Yummies. But has a lot of variety for sides or banchan. Tons of combinations for entrees. Would recommend it. They give a good amount read more

Update 6-7-25. Haven't been here in awhile well my hubby wanted spicy pork so decided to go here instead the place in kapahulu. . I got the mini meat jun my hubby got mini BBQ spicy pork. Just take out and no inside seating. Came home and started to eat our lunch my meat jun was good very thin batter which I liked. My 2 sides were jap chae and shoyu potatoes. My hubby said he's spicy BBQ pork was soft and not too spicy. He's sides were seaweed and shredded daikon. All in all it was worth the mini portions. Next time I'll ordered maybe BBQ chicken or bulgogi.. Go try them if you're in area. read more

In a world where $20 is the going rate for a plate this is $ worth spent. Quality, taste, friendliness, i love me some mama woos! Decided to do the zuchinni jun and spicy pork combo. Pork is tender now chewy and zuchinni was perfectly tender not overdone or oily. They have the best sides! read more

Annyeonghaseyo! We came over to Moiliili on a weeknight during dinner time to run an errand. The hubby was craving Korean BBQ so I suggested Mama Woo's, which was nearby and we'd passed by on so many occasions. Since we had some time, we decided it was a good chance to try them out! Usually the parking lot is packed and parking is scarce, but tonight we were lucky! There was a gentleman ahead of us waiting for his take out order, so we took a moment to study their banchan and menu. The cashier (Matthew) answered our question about the squid, took our order and even offered a sample of their fried eggplant (!) banchan, saying it was a little on the sweet side. Omgoodness it was delicious! Just a hint of sweetness to the savory shoyu glaze, so very yummy! We sat on the chairs for maybe 5 minutes and our food was ready! I ordered the BBQ Chicken plate ($15.95) with Kim chee, daikon Kim chee, chap Chae and the fried eggplant. The chicken was conveniently cut up into pieces. My hubby ordered the stir fried squid ($19.95) with Kim chee, chap Chae, fried eggplant and seaweed. Their Kim chee is legit! From personal experience, we've learned that if a Korean BBQ place has good Kim chee, it will be good and we were not disappointed. All the banchan was delicious and of course the BBQ Chicken was juicy and the squid was tasty! Very happy with the quality and quantity of the food as well as the politeness of the employees . As well were leaving, another employee talked with us and said he hoped we like the food and come back to try more items! read more

The food is beyond the normal Korean food. It is way above the rest. I got the chicken Kim chee fried rice medium hotness and the side order of spicy chicken wings. Oh my god it was so delicious! read more
I heard great things about their spicy chicken wings. We came to try it out. I got the combo plate with spicy chicken wings and fried oysters $17.95. The hubby got the bbq chicken and mochiko chicken combo $17.95. The spicy chicken wings didn't disappoint. It was marinated in a sweet and spicy sauce. It definitely had a kick to it. The oysters were huge and plump. The plate came with three wings and three oysters. You get your choice of four sides and rice. I opted for five sides and no rice. I got the choy sum, fried eggplant, potato salad, shoyu potato and japchae. The sides were ok. I wouldn't get the fried eggplant again. It was fried, cold and greasy. It probably would have been good out of the fryer, but not when it's cold. read more

Growing up and spending most summers in Honolulu, we've tried a lot - a lot - of a la carte/Korean plate lunch places, and Mama Woo's is always our favorite. They have such a great variety and quality of meat dishes and sides. Since I live on the mainland, meat jun is one of the items I can't find anywhere outside HI so I dream about it. Mama Woo's always scratches that itch when I'm craving comfort food and the unique-to-Hawaii Asian American cuisine experience. Staff are always friendly and patient, especially since my dad like to ask a million questions in restaurants. We always get a variety of meats and sides to split amongst our family, and there are still always plenty of leftovers even with their massive portions. Thinking about Mama Woo's now and my stomach is growling! Can't wait until my next trip to Honolulu so I can go back. read more
