About Big Aloha's Aliʻi Cove

Howzit, We are both from O'ahu, Hawaii. My wife Mel was raised in Kalihi, myself, Waipahu. we moved away from Hawai'i in 2007 because of the cost of living. @ that time there was only 1 Hawaiian place to eat in or around San Antonio, so because of the lack of local kine grinez to eat @, we decided to open our own local kine grinez business. 1st we sold plate lunch from home to make ends meet, next came the food truck, and finally, a brick & mortar location. this yr (2025) will make 7 yrs @ this location 10 yrs totel in the food business. We are not close to being perfect and we make lots of mistakes, but we will always try our best to serve you the best tasting local food that we possibly can. A hui Hou, Aloha.

Just got back from Hawaii and wanted to keep the vibes rolling, so we ordered a pick up from here, our fave Hawaiian place in town! Inwas running late in traffic and they finished the order quicker than I expected, ao I got a reminder call, which was so sweet. I appreciate y'all, your food and your vibes, thanks for being here and for being so great! Here's a picture of the 6/14 fountain at Kilauea taken during the trip we just got back from!

The food was amazing! I got the garlic shrimp and fried chicken. The mac salad was pretty unique because they used shell pasta instead of elbows, but it was tasty nonetheless.

This place transported me straight back to Hawaii. The vibe and the food were as good (if not better) than any plate lunch I had in Hawaii. I got the spicy pork and chicken katsu combo plate and it was so much food! The whole bottom of the container was rice with delicious Mac salad on the side, with generous helpings of meat. Will definitely be going back asap!!

Had a wonderful all-you-can eat Hawaiian dinner buffet with fried noodles and cabbage, teriyaki beef and chicken, spicy pork, chicken wings and several other delicious dishes. Came into town for the LOSO disc golf tournament this weekend and found this gem. I love visiting local restaurants while traveling. Kalani ("heavens") was a gracious host making sure I had everything I needed and giving me some cool background on the restaurant which opened in 2018 and really boomed in the covid years. The name Ali'i Cove refers to the Hawaiian royal court just below the King and Queen. I highly recommend trying out the delicious buffet at this wonderful restaurant.

Big Aloha’s Ali’i Cove is a MUST-TRY—not just for island food enthusiasts, but for anyone who loves absolutely delicious food! Located right off Pat Booker Rd, it’s easy to find with plenty of parking. From the moment you walk in, the island vibes hit you—it genuinely feels like a little slice of the 50th state right here in Texas. The owners and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. You can truly feel the spirit of Aloha in how they treat their customers. And most importantly—the food is TOP TIER. You can tell the chefs put real love into every dish. We had the No Ka Oi plate and the spicy ahi poke bowl… Ono kine grindz—broke da mout! Absolutely PERFECT. Every visit has been consistent: great customer service, a warm and comfortable atmosphere, and some of the best Hawaiian food around. We LOVE Big Aloha’s Ali’i Cove and will keep coming back!
