CALL IN YOUR ORDER! I skipped the line as the lady asked for phone orders !! Pro- call in your order before the shop opens cuz when I tried calling during hours, line always busy. I called around 930a on Friday for pick up Saturday. -lots of variety -poha berry, haven't tried that it's kind of sour! Cons- limited street parking, long lines (since it's so popular), not open Sunday/Monday -limited seating /waiting area

My husband and I came here in the morning on a Saturday after the farmers market. There was not a wait to order but there was for your order to be ready since they make the fruit mochi fresh. We had the strawberry and mandarin mochi and it was super delicious. I would highly recommend!

I grew up in Japan and having fresh mochi is always such a treat. There is constantly a line out the door here for a reason! Fresh, delicious, unique mochi is what you'll get at Two Ladies Kitchen. Take a look at their menu pick a few that look interesting and go for it. Super orderly considering how busy they are. I've had so many friends bring these mochi back to Oahu when I used to live there--it's so nice to have finally gone to the actual place it comes from!

The mochi here is SO good! We got a variety of mochi and our favorites are: Strawberry fruit mochi - the soft and smooth mochi together with the fresh sweet strawberry was core memory making! Strawberry fruit chocolate mochi - the combination of flavors was delicious. Plum flower - the mochi and azuki bean ratio were perfect giving your mouth a nice sweet and chewy party. The not so good: Lilikoi. Even with a clean palate, we could barely taste the lilikoi. So that was disappointing. Will be back to try out other mochi next time.

I think this is the best and freshest mochi I ever had! The mochi was super soft. The some of the flavors were unique. The one's I've tried were very good. My husband doesn't mochi, but he liked it when he tried one. When we arrived, there was a line, but the line went fairly quick. You order, pay, and wait to be called. You need to get there early, they do tend to run out of some of their popular flavors. I very much loved their mochi! I will definitely will come again.

Yummy Mochi. Faves are Strawberry, peanut butter, or anything with red beans. Mochi is super fresh and delicious. The line can get long - you wait to order then wait for them to fulfill your order - fresh! Or, you can order the prepackaged mochi displayed on the counter. Super small storefront. There's only room for people to order and there's a very small bench for waiting. Overall, this is a great small business to support. Go check em out, if you haven't already.

We bought one of the prepackaged boxes and took it to go. The mochi was amazing! So soft and fresh. The brownie mochi was unexpected but so good. Only wish was that the box was marked as we weren't quite sure what each flavor was, but it made for a fun guessing game :)

The strawberry mochi is so good, I could've just gotten a whole box of just those. Drove across the island from Kona to get mochi since we weren't gonna have time to make it any other day of our trip. The shop is small, staff is nice, and they have a lot of different mochi for you to choose from. We ordered the mochi a day in advance and scheduled it for EOD pickup. Turns out they won't have your mochi ready if you swing by hours early (oops), but they were super accommodating and still able to make/pack us our mochi. We did have to wait since we came earlier than our pickup time, but the strawberry mochi was worth the wait. Overall happy with everything we got-- the strawberry mochi was the best and I'm still thinking about it half a year later.

6 other patrons in line ahead of us as we arrived. They were kind enough to let us know they've already ordered so we could get in on the goods. Stuffed strawberry mochi is always a must! The selection of prepackaged assorted manju & mochi was plentiful. Friendly service. Clean, cute & quaint setup.

Decent mochi with some interesting flavors. We came on a wed afternoon and it was busy. You order inside and wait outside while they put your order together. No seating inside or outside. All decently priced at $1-2. We only got the mochi but they also have some baked manju as well. The mochi texture across all the ones we tried were good but not great. We've definitely had softer, fresh tasting ones before that really stretch when you take a bite. But the overall flavors were pretty good. My favorite was the Okinawan since it had fresh potato paste in it and you could really taste it. My family thought the ships one was really interesting and pretty. Didn't expect to have such a purple color and you could see the specks of shiso in it.
