HOWZIT HAWAIIAN KITCHEN

A Hawai'i Family's Journey To Share Aloha With The World

We're the Tottori family (Alden, Mishean, Mia & Chayce) and we're originally from Honolulu, Hawai'i. We moved to San Antonio, Texas a few years ago to be closer to family and found ourselves missing the delicious and unique cuisine that can only be found in the 50th state. We started making family recipes at home, cooked dinners for our friends and everyone started asking us for more!

We soon started doing pop-up food events at local festivals and community events, and now we'll be opening our first restaurant in Schertz, Texas in August/September 2024.

Howzit Hawaiian Kitchen is a family owned and operated fast casual restaurant with cuisine that represents the melting pot of cultures that is modern day Hawai'i. With family blood lines from Hawaiian, Samoan, Japanese, Filipino, Chamorro and Chinese ancestry, we want to share the wonderful flavors that we experienced growing up in the islands.

The word "howzit" is Hawai'i slang used as a local greeting to friends and strangers, because in Hawai'i everyone you meet is 'ohana (family.) At Howzit Hawaiian Kitchen we treat everyone like 'ohana (family) and infuse the Aloha spirit of love into every dish and experience. We look forward to seeing you and sharing the Aloha!

Mahalo,

Alden, Mishean, Mia & Chayce
