Editorial Review for Roy's – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Roy Yamaguchi opened his first restaurant in 1988 in Honolulu, Hawaii, blending European cooking techniques with locally produced ingredients and Asian spices. Today, his Hawaiian-fusion cuisine is served in a sophisticated atmosphere with dark woods, Asian accents and contemporary, island-inspired art. In addition to "Roy's classics" like Hawaiian-style misoyaki butterfish and the popular melting hot chocolate souffle, each location offers daily specials prepared by the local chef, all of whom are trained personally by Roy.

Everyone should try Roy's! I took my husband there for his birthday and when I made the reservation they asked it it was a special occasion. I told the girl that it was his birthday and when we got to the restaurant they had printed out a special menu just for him. It had his name and "Happy Birthday and Best Wishes from Roy's". We also ordered the souffle at the end of our meal and they wrote Happy Birthday in chocolate on the plate and put a candle on it. It was so great. He was so surprised. The best part about Roy's is that they have a Prix Fixe Menu that you can order from. It's $35 per person and includes an appetizer, entree, and the dessert, so you can get our of there for under a hundred dollars. We've spent more than that at restaurants half as nice. I also ordered an entree I didn't like and the server encouraged me to order something different at no charge. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a romantic evening out. THANKS ROY'S!!!

Incredible food, incredible service. Always creative menus, and a flour-less chocolate cake that is amazing. I can't eat gluten and the chef came to the table to tell me what I could eat and suggest side dishes with the entre that would match well (since I couldn't eat some of the sides). I had scallops that melted in my mouth, my sister said her fish was some of the best she had ever had (she had the trio, tuna, butterfish and a third I can't remember). Been there twice and both times was great. It is pricey, but well worth the money.
