Big Aloha's Aliʻi Cove

Absolutely amazing experience at Aloha’s Ali’i Cove in Universal City! 🌺 If you’re looking for authentic Hawaiian food with a family-friendly atmosphere, this is the place to go. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — you can really taste the island-inspired flavors in every bite.

Love this place! Local kine grinds! Makes me MISS Hawaii more and more 😢 But eating here is one of the things that let's me feel like I'm at home again but I'm in San Antonio. 🥰 The Kahlua pig and cabbage was awesome! But my favorite was the spicy pork sooo ONO { which means super tasty }! 💞🤙

Musubi was spectacularly delicious! Spicy ahi poke bowl --> NEXT LEVEL!! Kalua w & w/o cabbage, very delicious, Teri beef, so tender & flavorful Kalani was soooo nice!!

Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat. The food itself is fantastic, but it's more than just that... The mood here is just so positive and upbeat. It's hard not to feel better when you're here. I got the 3 meat combo with Teri Chic, Teri Beef, and Chicken Katsu, and the standard sides of rice and Mac Salad. Absolutely delicious. The two chicken dishes were the best, but the beef was great as well. This is one of the best places in San Antonio, and I can't recommend it enough 🙂

Delicious food and fantastic service. The food is very fresh and significantly better than the chain Hawaiian restaurants in the area. The spicy chicken katsu was so crispy and flavorful

This place seriously felt like I was in Hawaii – I've never been, but the vibe is just so real. The owners are super friendly and welcoming, and you can just tell they pour their heart into every dish. You really feel that Hawaiian warmth from them. And the food, oh man, where do I even begin? While I do like their classic Kalua Pig and Teri Beef, they just added something new to the menu that's blown my mind: the Spicy Chicken Katsu. No joke, it's the best thing on the menu, hands down. It's got that perfect crispy crunch on the outside, but it's still so tender and juicy on the inside, and the spice level is... well, Chef's kiss! It just takes regular katsu to a whole new level. If you go, you absolutely have to try it.

The service is still excellent. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. The smell and taste of the food takes me back to the islands. Easily the best Hawaiian food I have had outside the islands, also beats a few places out there as well. We had the daily special (looked too good to pass up).
