34 Best Korean Restaurants near Wahiawa

“I had such a great experience at 2 Mom Kitchen! The meat jun was tender, & flavorful, and the bibimbap was fresh, & colorful. The lady at the counter welcomed me with such kindness. While it’s not a full sit-down restaurant, there’s a small table with three chairs where you can wait comfortably for your order. And the free street parking makes stopping by so easy. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu.“

“I ordered the korean fried chicken knowing it has a 25 minute wait, so worth it. I ordered the spicy one with a side of 3 scoops of rice, I ordered the half chicken the picture is the half I didnt eat yet. For the the price you can't beat it.“

“I used to come here in the 90’s when I was working with a mechanical contractor and it was one of my favorite place on the island with $2.50 BBQ chicken plate! I heard there was ownership change 2017 or so but I still came back for old times sake. Actually the food was really great quality and delicious. We had the Kalbi which was really savory and had the right amount of fat. The BBQ chicken also delicious but no longer bone in so I missed that a little. The beef soup
Is still excellent! My daughter says they use marrow, I don’t know but I haven’t found that anywhere else. I was happy to see that the awesome historical photos were still there though hidden in a hallway. I was there for the remodel when the benches and photos were put in, maybe 1996? Only major difference was the price, I definitely wouldn’t be able to afford as a daily lunch. But still delicious and really enjoyed. I’ll come again“

“Ordered the Mahi katsu. Taste delicious, value for cost, excellent. The plate was just under 14 dollars and there were 4 count um 4 full sized pieces of fish. They have many side dishes to choose from as well. If you are a fish lover, this is the plate you've been looking for.“

“Best fried chicken ever! So hot fresh and crunchy!“

“best place to eat. must try the bimbimbap“

“Awesomeness!! Have you moved your location??“

“We are visiting a local center. Food vendors are plentiful. While weighing our options i noticed a family with some of Shaka Skakes food. It looked amazing. They were eating like it was amazing. I hunted them up. I ordered orange chicken. While waiting others were utilizing the variety of sauces. I sampled them while waiting. They were very good. Once I sampled my food I opted to NOT use the sauces. My food was perfect without it. I highly recommend. Sorry for the pic. I went in on the plate b4 I thought to take a picture. Portions are large.“

“The Kalbi here is amazing, it was deliciously thick and covered in a smoky char flavor that made it irresistible. Seriously an underrated spot. Any trucks nearby, even a few minutes up the road, will skimp on grilled short rib. I was half expecting a super thing piece of meat but wow it was probably the thickest Kalbi I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend to anyone, the owner deserves all the business he gets!“

“Easy to shop!!! Good prices too !!!!! Loved it !!!!!“

“This was a recommendation from the men down at the harbor. We ordered the garlic and bbq shrimp to compare to another well known food truck in the same parking lot and we honestly loved HONOS bbq shrimp more. It had wonderful flavor and the shrimp were larger and weren't overly cooked and stayed piping hot and the pricing was better. I know everyone has their own preference so give it a shot.“

“Came here based on the great reviews, and it totally lived up to the hype! The food tastes absolutely amazing, every dish was full of authentic Korean flavor. Service was warm and the atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving delicious Korean food!“

“This food is EXCELLENT. Got #20: chicken and beef, with sides of seaweed, noodles, cabbage, bok choi, rice, gyoza. It was DELICIOUS. If my stay here was longer, I would be back for sure. The owner was so nice. He gave my sisters and I complementary mango drinks which were so fresh, real and delicious. Support this awesome business!“

“I've heard good things about this place for a while but the price has kept me away until one day I was like screw it let's try. It's takeout only by the looks of it but food came out relatively quick despite my place in line and lemme tell you portions on my combo plate was heaping. From the meat jun being perfectly seasoned and caked, the Teri beef being tender seasoned yet big, the sauce being a nice kick rather than shoyu like other places this place was a welcome hit. I'd happily try the rest of my haunts on their menu and while the price is steep the portions and flavor makes the dent in my lunch budget satisfying. Definitely a return spot for me and I assume you too!“

“Great food great service nice place“

“We had a great experience at the yellow food truck! The service was super fast, the food was delicious, and the portions were huge. Everything came out fresh and there was definitely plenty of food for the price. Quick, friendly service and generous portions, definitely worth checking out!“

“The items are complete. Especially the ingredients are very fresh.“

“I had kimchi stew and pork belly and it was really delicious! The ribs were especially soy sauce-based, perfect for Korean tastes😆 And the portions were really, really big! For those of you who are in the news, please order one to share.. The unfortunate thing is that eating outdoors can make you food for mosquitoes..ㅠㅠ Everything else was good!!“

“I eat here often for the varieties and none has failed me like some others nearby. Nor do they make you wait a lifetime for your food and always give friendly service. Highly recommend this place to non locals too. Very clean place well maintained and organized!“

“I’ve been coming here for years and the service is always great! You get your food quickly. The servers polite and working very hard! We always take big parties ( and make a reservation ) there and also eat with just two of us! The best is to come with friends or family and you will all leave happy!“

“This was hands down my favorite place to eat during our 9 day vacation on Oahu! I believe it’s a husband and wife run spot, with the wife working up front and the husband cooking in the back.

We ordered the meat jun, short ribs, and shrimp tempura. Let me tell you…the meat jun was AMAZING! My kids absolutely devoured it. But for me, the star of the meal was definitely the short ribs. They were packed with flavor, the pieces were huge, and honestly, they were some of the best short ribs I’ve ever had!

The only downside was that the food took a little longer to come out. But considering this seems to be a mom and pop shop, it really wasn’t a big deal at all. When the food is this good, it’s worth the wait!

Definitely one of those places I’ll remember from our Oahu trip!“

“Amazing food and service. Been around a long time and still great“

“I lived in Korea for six years. It’s hard to find that perfect beef and leaf joint you remember from your Sam gyup sal days in Korea, but this place can do it.#1. The staff is great. I enjoy seeing them every time I go.#2. They have the soju, the Korean beer, the makgeolli.#3 The BBQ is on point, the sides are delicious and the kimchi is always great.If someone doesn’t like this place, then they don’t like real Korean food. Plain and simple.“

“I have been going to this place since I was in middle school (mid 2000s) and for good reason, nobody does it better! Staff has recently changed a bit, but because it's still the same friendly service. My go-to is the spicy BBQ pork, but it's all good here and the sides are great too. Plenty of space to park your car or your butt, and located beautiful Mililani.“

“YUMMY 😋 YUM! fast service and food is always 👌 😋 🔥 💯“

“The owner makes sure she gets your order right and is very friendly. The portion sizes here are great. My husband and I were able to eat off one combo plate while also sharing an appetizer. I highly recommend the korean fried chicken plate. Absolutely would visit this location again.“

“This is the 1st time here and tried the bulgogi salad. The portion and price was good but most importantly the taste was excellent. It left me feeling satisfied without feeling bloated. The sauce was good and liked the apple slices to give it some sweetness.
Definitely will come back again🤙😍“

“I will always visit Sadies's when visiting the island 🥰🥰“

“seen this place on tinytvs Instagram. so me and my other half went to try it out. omg best fried chicken wings ive had on island , hands down!“

“Was a little hesitant to try this spot out after reading past reviews however I think they listened to the feedback and absolutely improved! The service from everybody was what really stood out as they were super friendly and were extremely attentitive. As for the food, I’ve been to many kbbq spots in SoCal where I’m from and Sikdorak III is by far the best one out of the spots I’ve tried here on the island!“

“The food was prepared very well and delivered in a timely manner. Very tasty and fresh. Will definitely go there again.“

“I usually go before they close at 8:30 PM because I don’t noticed that if you do go right before they close, they’ll give you a whole a lot of food lol but I love the portion that they do give their sides are amazing. I got that barbecue chicken special with the four piece Mando for $2.99 extra and in the photos I showed you all sides they also have catering. The tables are limited. You can only fit up to four people per table. It can get crowded during lunch hours. I would prefer to do takeout because even with my medium sized body have a hard time squeezing in the booth lol but overall I got a man do plate and my total was about $48 total. I’ll say it’s totally worth it. One of the best barbecue cases you can eat at. I know there’s other locations like in Alamoana and Kahala but this is my favorite one. I would also recommend phone call orders cause that would be faster. There is a lot of parking and it’s inside of the Waipahu shopping center right next to the new Hope Church.“
