Made lunch reservations for our anniversary at Roy's Ko Olina and was amazed by the service, view and food presented. We were warmly greeted by the hostess who wished us a happy anniversary and were given the option to sit indoors or outdoors. We chose indoor and were seated promptly. The restaurant itself was pretty empty and we got a table by the window where we had a nice view of the golf course. Our server Bianca was super nice and gave us recommendations on the menu. We had the Crab Cakes, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Chinatown Chicken Spring Rolls and the Honey Mustard Charred Beef Short Rib. Portion sizes were good and we were thoroughly surprised by how good the Spring Rolls and Beef Short Ribs were. The spring rolls were hot and crispy on the outside, but was a little different because it had a black bean sauce underneath which was a nice surprise. The beef short ribs were so tender and filling when paired with the mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. At the end of our meal we were presented with a complimentary chocolate soufflé which was a surprise. The soufflé had a nice firm exterior with a nice soft soufflé on the inside and molten chocolate. What a perfect way to end the meal. Amazing service and I look forward to coming back again! read more

My family and I came to celebrate my MIL's birthday for Sunday brunch. It was not busy and lots of space to sit at. We had a nice view of people golfing. The hostess was very nice and sat us quickly. She also showed us where the restroom was. The service was on point. He was very friendly and explained the menu very well. He also recommended us what food were good which we ended up choosing. The food/drink runners were also great! The kids menu was amazing!!! They had a cute appetizer set that came quickly. The food portion was enough for my children and they loved it. It also came with a dessert after. I got the ahi burger which was flavorful. We always get their assorted appetizer (that is enough for 3-4 people) and their brussel sprouts! I can not go to Roy's without ordering their brussel sprouts. The past times I went there, I would order their chocolate molten cake which you would have to put in a order ahead of time and that is really good. I love coming to this location because of service and their menu. read more

My bf made reservations for us to come here to celebrate our anniversary and this instantly became one of my favorite restaurants. We chose to sit out on the balcony which overlooks the looking golf course. The night we came, we had someone playing live music by the bar and the entire staff we've encountered was super friendly and outstanding! They served us seasoned edamame upon us sitting down, which was tasty. We chose to go with the butterfish as our appetizer and it was amazing! I almost wish I ordered it as an entree but kinda glad I didn't as I enjoyed my scallops so much! My bf got the lamb and was really impressed with it. I personally don't care too much for lamb as it often has a gamey taste, but the lamb was seasoned very well and didnt taste gamey at all! They did give us the dessert menu early as the waiter mentioned it takes about 25-30 minutes to make, so we decided to go with the Mac nut tart. The tart was really soft and yummy and it was definitely nice that they gave us a complimentary crème brûlée for our anniversary. My bf and I are definitely going to come back! read more

We were PX's (Discreet code for VIP's) at the Rancho Mirage Roy's in CA, before they sadly closed during Covid, never to reopen. We were there a couple times a week for happy Hour (HH) and always appreciated the consistency in food and service. It was always lively, full and fun. I was so excited to visit the Roys here in Hawaii. We came in for HH.I was really disappointed. When you enter you walk past a bar that is closed, through the restaurant, which was empty to an outdoor patio area, which was nice but dead. It was us and another table. They did not have the 1988 (look it up) it's their signature cocktail, named after the year they opened, no shishito peppers, no ebi roll. The food was ok, but not on par to other Roy's. The bartender's attitude was great I have to say, but we probably won't go back, although we said we were going everyday before we got here. read more

Went for lunch and the menu is quite different from their dinner menu. We started with their dim sum appetizer for two. Next, we ordered a hot beef pastrami sandwich and not on the lunch menu (we had some insider info) haha we asked and ordered their dinner lamb chops. read more

Normally, we go just for a meal but this time it was my bday and we were in Oahu...So husband took me to Roy's. We sat outside to enjoy the views and get some vitamin D since we are not getting any younger. It was a Lent Friday so this was the pace to go for meat free options. Delilah our server was nice and attentive. We had the crab cakes and shrimp cocktail for dessert. I had the butterfish and my husband had the macadamia fish entree with Clase Azul tequila while I had 2 lilikoi mimosas. read more

We came here for my brother's birthday, almost make it a tradition every time we're in the area and it sucks to say that Roy's has fallen off. For lunch I ordered a prime rib sandwich which came out overdone. The bread was soggy and not toasted and the fries I had to switch out because they were regular as opposed to garlic fries. Our server seemed like he didn't want to be there, even though he came off with a nice demeanor it seemed like he was overworked and didn't really give me good vibes. Only saving grace was the matcha creme brûlée which is why I give this location 2/5 instead of 1 star. Which was once a tradition is now more of something we have to move on from. Hopefully Roy's can turn it around in both service and food. read more

Roy's Ko Olina is one of our go to spots for date night whenever we're visiting family, and it never disappoints. The service is consistently good, and we always love when we're able to sit out on the lanai. The restaurant itself isn't anything over the top visually. It definitely matches the golf clubhouse vibe of the area. That said, the food is always the star here. My partner never strays from the Plantation Paella, and for good reason. It's packed with flavor and incredibly satisfying. I always go for the honey mustard short rib, which is rich, tender, and full of bold, delicious flavor. The drinks are solid as well, whether you're in the mood for a sweetened iced tea or something to take the edge off. We always finish with the macadamia nut tart for dessert. It takes a little time, but it's absolutely worth the wait every single time. Overall, Roy's Ko Olina is a reliable favorite for a relaxed but memorable date night. read more

We came here to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday. It was my first time, and the ambiance was nice - we had a late dinner since some family members couldn't make it to a sunset time slot - friendly staff, yummy food, good drinks, great waiter.

Roy's Ko Olina - Filet Mignon - Asian Fusion Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

We made a reservation for a Thursday night at 7:30 pm. It wasn't too busy, and we were seated outside. The atmosphere was nice - soft lighting, not noisy, and you could see the golf course a little. We ordered: Golden Hour Prix Fixe - Hands down the best deal on the menu. For about $100, you get a full 3-course meal that's very filling. The hamachi and rib appetizers were rich, and the pickled veggies balanced everything out perfectly. The filet was cooked to order with gorgeous grill marks and paired with flavorful roasted veggies. The real standout was the potato and cauliflower galette--so unique and delicious! Dessert was the chocolate soufflé made to order. It did take about 25 minutes after the entrée, but honestly, the time flew by. Baked Brie en Croute for Two - So good! It comes wrapped in puff pastry with honey, poached apples, and mac nuts for crunch. A generous portion, definitely shareable between 2-4 people. Beni's Philly Roll - Not what you'd traditionally expect, but delicious. The bonito flakes added a fun texture, and the rice had a seasoned, slightly brown color that really stood out. Service was excellent throughout the night. After appetizers, we were given moist towelettes to clean up, our waters were consistently filled, and they even offered tea and coffee with dessert. Food came out perfectly paced. They also thoughtfully packed our leftovers in a to-go box and bag. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, the staff went above and beyond. They surprised us with banana pudding tarts decorated with "Happy Anniversary," which really made the night special. This also ended up being a surprise proposal and the staff were able to film it for us. And we are so grateful! The food was delicious, but the true standout was the service--warm, attentive, and thoughtful. They made our anniversary dinner one to remember. read more

Roy's is just a short walk from Aulani Disney Resort. It's located next to the Ko Olina Golf course. We celebrated my Birthday and my wife had made a reservation for my whole family. Roy's made it special by assigning us to a private room. Our server, Kerisa, was very nice and sweet. She gave us the house special menu as well as their special drinks. The staff treated us very special and attended to our needs. I ordered the 16-oz Prime Ribeye. It's huge in portions and the meat came in tender and juicy. They made it the way I liked it. My family enjoyed their dinner as well as my grandson's kids' meal. At the end of our dinner, Roy's gave me a birthday treat by handing me a plate of brownies and ice cream. Roy's made this special day with a nice dinner. read more

My family and I are visiting from California and celebrating my husband's 65th birthday. We made reservations for dinner before we left California. Our experience the moment we walked in until we got seated was great! We had a private dining area which we didn't expect! All the food we ordered were excellent! We have 2 grandsons and they had a special plate (sorry forgot to take photos) and the boys loved it! Our waitress, Kerissa, was superb! She was on hands with everything! The other staff were wonderful as well! If you are looking for a place to have dinner and have a wonderful experience don't hesitate to come to this place, it is a bit pricey but worth it! read more

It's been a few years since I've been here and I'm happy to know that things haven't changed much, other than some of the food offerings. The service is always top notch, a sign to me that the GM Ty, and staff are doing a good job. My buddy and I came in to enjoy a great HH, and were fortunate to best to dinner rush. Our bar server, Bryson, did an excellent job in seeing to our needs and making sure we had everything we wanted. They offer a nice variety of both draft and bottled beers, along with a good wine selection. The food offered during HH was very extensive, with a nice mix of meat, seafood, and other fresh items. We started with the Sashimi Trio, followed by the Canoe for Two and added more Mongolian Ribs. The sashimi cuts could've been a bit more "generous", but the fish was fresh and tasty. The Canoe really had a good selection of all their appetizers, and our favorite were the Mongolian ribs; nicely smoky and fall off the bone tender. We also had their edamame appetizers; both with sweet chili sauce and the regular seasoned ones. I would definitely opt for the regular, based on flavor. Great food and great service. What more can you expect. read more

My in-laws treated my partner and I to lunch during a recent vacation. It was a windy day but we opted to be seated outside with a view of the golf course. The inside had a cruise ship banquet hall kind of feel (dare I say it seemed white-washed for the haoles?); in any case short on the hawaiian vibes. Server had plenty of aloha. We were offered a dinnertime dish (fish combo plate) and that made us feel special. Food was tasty! read more

Local to Oahu, but the windward side, we were staying at Aulani and wanted a special place to celebrate our anniversary that wasn't on the resort property. We decided on Roy's, and were so happy we did. For holidays they seem to do a fixed menu. They had one for Father's Day, and after looking at the special menu and the normal one, we decided to take a chance on the special one. Again, a great choice. We love trying new things, but being told what to try. This was a perfect example of that. The special menu was 5 courses 1st course- Spicy Island Ahi Temaki- this was amazing. Great way to start the meal. Probably the best sushi cone I've had. 2nd course- House Smoked Local Beef Brisket Toast & Bacon Bean Sip- the only downside to this is I wish there was more! 3rd course- Japan Bluefin Crudo- loved the yuzu! 4th course- For our entrees, we both got the specials that weren't on the menu. I got the lobster tails over mushroom risotto, and my husband got the beef Wellington. Both were amazing. I did abandon my lobster tails when I was getting full to finish the risotto, which felt wrong, but tasted so good! His Wellington was perfection, and we've had Gordon Ramsays version. 5th course- Roasted Local Banana Cheesecake- oh, this was good! Perfect banana flavor and the crust was a biscoff crust and it had Carmel popcorn. We sat outside in the open air, but under cover, overlooking the gold course. The weather was perfect. We had a 6:30 reservation so it was in the sun for only a couple minutes. After walking through the building I think we definitely prefer outside seating. Live music was a great surprise. The staff was delightful. So kind and helpful, and you could tell they truly believed in the food they were serving. Our drinks never sat empty and they checked on us often. Highly recommend. read more

Overpriced food and just ok service. For example we asked for bread at the start of our meal. The waitress informed us that she had put our request to the "pastry chef". When the bread finally arrived, the bread was a store bought Hawaiian roll. Expected better from a 4 star restaurant with $$$$. Also, you may want to call ahead to see what's on the menu. Both items I had in mind, weren't on the menu the night we went. Lamb chops and beef cheeks read more

I booked this place for a double birthday celebration for myself and my Friend. When we arrived, we were greeted by a host and didn't wait too long to be seated. We were sat pretty much in the back which was perfect because we could get loud. Anyway, we ordered our appetizers, got our appetizers THEN we were waiting for the server to come and take our entree orders which took FOREVER! We finished pretty much all our appetizers and still he didn't come by to take our entree orders. Since it took so long, when he finally came, we actually went straight to ordering desserts because we didn't want to wait any longer. I did order my Daughter her dinner which was the salmon. That didn't take too long. As for our desserts, when it came, the server dropped it off and left. No spoons was dropped so my Friend flagged down the busser who gave us spoons. By this time it was such a joke already. We just wanted to get out of there ASAP. Our server actually checked on us when we were eating our dessert so we just asked for our check to avoid any more wait time. He was nice enough to give us one dessert for free but that's besides the point. We went home hungry still. I did notice that there was a family in the party room that had bottle service and another table next to us who also had bottle service. And I get it that he'd make more money waiting on those tables but it was such a disappointing experience. What made this experience funny was that we seen the busser MORE than our server. read more

I was so looking forward to dining here for Easter. Sadly it's the first time I was actually irritated at a restaurant that's supposedly special. Six of us entered as soon as the doors opened at 11:30 a.m. We had a nice table on the upper level with a great view. The server had a toothy smile and loud voice but that was it. She began her spiel without even welcoming us or saying Happy Easter. She told us what today's fish was and what her favorites were. We were left unattended for most of our meal. Even my grandson said how come we came in first and other people have their food? She only reappeared to ask if we wanted plantation ice tea and if were ready for the bill. Truthfully she needs more customer training and to be observant and use initiative to check on guests' tables. At one point 5 of our table stood up to use the restroom cuz we had been patiently waiting a very unacceptable long time. Dessert was no where in sight. The kiddies' pasta looked unappetizing and they both remarked it was too buttery. Son in law who loves sashimi did not care for the appetizer for two's seared fish. Hubs' clubhouse sandwich was okay and he shared his fries with our granddaughter. Flies were on our grandson's cucumbers and we were constantly shooing the flies away throughout our meal. Our table assistant helped a bad situation by boxing my meal as the flies were a problem. She even apologized about the flies. She serviced our table, cleared away the uneaten food and used dishes. We waited and waited. Our server never had a clue that we were kept waiting for the chocolate dessert we preordered and even the kiddies dessert that came with their meal. Not a pleasant way to celebrate Easter. Honestly worst service on this island ever. One star for table assistant Maliah, sweet and efficient. One star for the literally temperature hot yummy chocolate dessert. I gave my entire ice cream scoop to my granddaughter. So sad cuz her kid's pasta was not okay. One star for the very pretty lady with a beautiful smile who brought my entree to the table and said goodbye when we left. read more

A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Whenever I get the chance to visit Ko Olina, I try to plan at least one dinner at Roy's. The reservation process through OpenTable was easy, and the food and service were exemplary, thank you, Trey and Elan. The butterfish is simply phenomenal, and they were able to accommodate a tree nut allergy with no problem. Another outstanding experience at Roy's Ko Olina! read more

Everything was pretty good. We sat outside and it was just beautiful, very elegant place with the scenery of the golf course.

Have been coming to here for 10 years with my family every time we stay at Ko Olina and it's one of our favorites for a nice meal. Interesting menu that is seasonal but our favorites are the misoyaki butterfish, compressed watermelon and feta salad, and surf and turf maki. Wait staff here is excellent, very hospitable and knowledgeable about the menu. For the past few years we've been getting Sing and he is an amazing server!! He always welcome and remembers us every single time and makes sure we have a great visit. Only thing I wish they could improve was the bathrooms and the paper towels. The men's bathroom was run down and had a weird smell. Considering the price point, I think they should also have nicer paper towels--Roy's in the continental US has thick nice quality towels compared to just ones that come out of the dispenser here. read more

This review is for our experience for Aloha Hour (Happy Hour) which they host daily from 2pm to 5pm. Seating is available on their patio, first come first serve. They had a good selection of food and beverage specials. We ordered the Roy's Canoe for Two, Hurricane Fries, and Cheesy Truffle Orzo Pasta w/ Smoked Pork Belly. Contrary to its name, the Canoe for Two didn't come in a canoe, but rather a large plate lol. There were some items that left much to be desired, such as the blackened ahi and chicken spring rolls. It could be better. The star was definitely the truffle orzo pasta, I would eat a whole plate of it if I could. I ordered an espresso martini that wasn't on the happy hour menu. It was probably one of the best I've had. The waitress was very attentive and checked on us frequently. Would we come back? That's still up in the air. Maybe for a special occasion for dinner. Overall it was a mediocre experience for an upscale restaurant. read more

This review is long overdue! I absolutely love Roy's Ko Olina. I'll honestly find any excuse to go -- whether it's after the golf range next door or just stopping in for happy hour. It's always worth it! Tai, the GM, does an incredible job -- you can really feel the positive leadership in the atmosphere. The entire staff is consistently happy, attentive, and so welcoming. They truly make every visit feel special. The food is always amazing, and I absolutely love the chocolate soufflé -- it's a must every time! Rich, perfectly baked, and the best way to end a meal. The weekend patio musicians are such a great touch too. Highly recommend for great food, wonderful service, and an unbeatable atmosphere! Thank you Tai and the entire Roy's Koolina team! read more

The experience, unfortunately did not meet expectation. The location and service was amazing. Our server and everyone took care of us. And the location on the ko'olina golf course was scenic and serene. Some of the food was really good, however the steaks we ordered were far from good. I got a ribeye that looked and tasted like an over cooked sirloin. But added on sea bass which was really good. Wife ordered the filet and it was almost inedible. They took back and brought another that wasn't any better. Think they need to stay with fish. The manager came to the table and tried to make things right. She was nice and professional and appreciate her. It was date night that just didn't meet expectation. If wasn't for the good service we would have given 1-2 stars. read more

Arrived at 11:40am on a Sunday for some drinks and lunch. The outdoor bar was quiet and not crowded at the time (more people started arriving at around 12:30pm). Ordered the truffle corn soup and ahi BLT with fries. Both were delicious. I wish the soup was hotter, but that's just my preference as I love piping hot soup. But the flavors were great. Ahi BLT was good too. The fish was crispy on the outside and not dry. The bread had a nice toast to it. Our drinks were also amazing. Recommend the chili pepper martini and the mango spritz (not pictured). Both very different flavor profiles but tasted great. If you're coming for lunch at a later time, I recommend a reservation as it started to get busy. read more

What a solid meal at Roy's - this visit was a reminder that it's still one of the more reliable spots on the island for a polished, "special but not stuffy" night out. The combination of classic Roy's dishes and good service made it an easy place to recommend for date night, celebrations, or when you've got visitors in town who want something a step up from the usual. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was upbeat but relaxed, with that familiar open dining room energy where you can hear some buzz but still have a conversation at your table. The staff was friendly and on it from the start--waters refilled without asking, plates cleared quickly, and they checked in just enough without hovering. Courses were nicely paced, which made the whole meal feel intentional instead of rushed. Food-wise, Roy's is still all about big flavors and that Hawaii regional feel. The appetizers set the tone: fresh, well-seasoned, and plated with a little bit of flair. The mains were cooked correctly and came out hot, with sauces that actually tied the dish together instead of just being there for decoration. Portions were generous enough that you feel like you're getting your money's worth, especially given island pricing. Dessert sealed the deal--rich, comforting, and exactly the kind of sweet ending you want after a heavier meal. Price-wise, it's definitely on the higher end, but you know what you're signing up for when you come here. Between the quality of the food, the level of service, and the overall experience, it feels appropriate for a nice night out, especially for occasions. If you're looking for quiet and intimate, it can get a bit loud during peak hours, but if you like a lively dining room and polished island-style food, Roy's still delivers. read more
