Howzit Hawaiian Kitchen

​If you are looking for the heart and soul of the islands tucked away in a quiet storefront, Howzit is the definition of a hidden gem. This mom-and-pop spot doesn’t rely on flashy decor; instead, they let the food and service do all the talking. ​We came in on a rainy Sunday afternoon. ​The chicken katsu's panko breading was crispy, while the chicken remained incredibly juicy—a balance many larger chains fail to strike. ​The service is exactly what you’d expect from a family-run establishment: warm, unhurried, and genuinely welcoming. You aren’t just a table number here; you’re treated like a guest in someone’s home. ​With generous portions and prices that respect your wallet, Howzit is the kind of place that turns first-time visitors into regulars by the end of the meal.

Highly recommend. Came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and was immediately greeted at the door by Alden. He asked it was out first time, how we heard about them, and if we had any questions. His passion for the business and customer service was too notch. After talking about his family background with Hawaii and Japan, I was excited to try a little bit of everything from the menu. We ordered the Hapa "mix" Plate and Kalbi Short Ribs Plate. Food came out freshly made in large portions. Food was simply amazing. The Mix Plate was a perfect way to try 3 different meats. All 3 meats were very juicy and flavorful. The Kalbi Plate was equally as delicious. I would've been happy with any of those meats as my main dish. Everything was so good, ordered some Spam Musubi, Mochi, Chocol

Authentic Hawaiian food! The flavors are fresh and bold , my mother had shrimp for lent and it was amazing. The fried chicken is juicy and crunchy, the bbq chicken has great flavor and char and the pork is soft and tender with the perfect amount of salt. The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming, I highly recommend to everyone, even a picky eater will enjoy their meal!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Absolutely Incredible! I lived on Oahu for a few years, and let me tell you—Howzit Hawaiian Kitchen is the real deal. Finding true Hawaiian flavors in Texas is almost impossible, but this place nails it. Honestly, some of their dishes taste just as good, if not better, than what I’ve had back in Hawaii. The plate I got was packed with flavor: perfectly grilled meat, crispy chicken, tender shredded pork, fresh greens, and legit mac salad that tastes exactly like the kind you get from local spots on the island. Every bite took me straight back to eating plate lunches on Oahu. Portions are generous, everything is seasoned perfectly, and you can tell they put real love into the food. If you’re craving authentic Hawaiian food or just want something insanely good, go to Howzi

Banger after banger after banger. POV: girlfriend and I place an order, head over to pick up some din din. We arrive, gentleman at the front is so sweet and welcoming, says the food is about to be plated - say less. We’re about to leave, say thank you, and the gentleman throws in a Chi-Chi dango mochi, just because - I am in awe and forever grateful. Gf and I are excited about the haul, so we bust into the mochi on the drive home. WOW!!! The perfect amount of sweetness - not overly sweet, just lets the mochi speak for itself. We couldn’t help ourselves. We open the Spam Musubi - I would do the naughtiest things just to ensure they stay in my life. Get home; bust into the 3 meat plate to share. I need some time alone with this plate, I don’t even wanna share it with my gf anymore. Only
