    Lobster Potstickers
    Ashley P.

    Roy's is one of my favorite restaurants but the service can be hit or miss and the food is pretty much consistently good. Tonight the food and service was perfect. Our waiter, Tanner was very personable and helpful. We ordered a mai tai (very strong), the lobster potstickers, misoyaki butterfish, and Roy's signature chocolate soufflé (my favorite dessert of all time!) and everything was timely and well executed. I can't wait for my next meal at Roy's!

    It was my Birthday dinner at Roy's with my son, daughter-in-law, and husband. It was my first time there and we went early, so we practically had the whole place to ourselves. The little birthday card with plumeria flowers was such a sweet surprise. Great drinks, delicious appetizers, and amazing delicious entrées-everything we ordered was so good. The service was friendly and thoughtful, and they even offered to take photos for us. We finished the night with birthday dessert a rich chocolate mousse-perfect ending. Honestly, the best part was celebrating with family. So grateful for a wonderful evening and a great birthday

    Went to Roy's last night for dinner with the ladies and ordered the Christmas dinner menu. We started with appetizers, including the Szechuan spiced pork ribs, tempura-crusted ahi roll, and lobster bisque, and ordered entrees shortly after. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill quickly. Once seated, it took over an hour for our entrees to arrive after appetizers, which felt excessive given the setting and price point. When the food finally came out, there were major issues. We ordered one filet medium and another medium well, but the staff did not know which plate was which. The New York strip ordered medium well was brought out bloody. Overall, the food quality and execution were extremely disappointing. We tried to calmly express our frustration with both the wait time and the mix-up with the dishes. Instead of addressing the concerns, the manager approached the situation with a poor attitude, removed our plates, and zeroed out the bill without any real discussion. That wasn't what we were asking for or expecting -- we wanted accountability and a better experience, not an abrupt dismissal. At the end of the day, the food was not good, the service recovery was mishandled, and the experience did not justify the time or the cost. I will not return and would not recommend Roy's to others.

    We have been to a few Roy's locations in Hawaii and US, I think this location has the best service and cook. We came here on Thanksgiving Day without a reservation, was told that they were fully booked but the bar area was available. No problem, we love the bar area. Since we had our daughter with us, we sat on one of the high-top tables. The service from the bartenders/servers were excellent; they were friendly, patient and attentive. We order a bottle of wine, the turkey dinner and sea bass, followed by a pumpkin cake. Turkey was tender and easy for our daughter to chew, the veggies that it came with also tasty and she finished the whole plate. Sea bass was cooked to perfection, but greens it came with was too salty for our taste (didn't finish). Wine selection was good; they made sure our glasses were filled. The reason why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars was because of the service from the hostesses. We had been here a few times and one time I felt they were a little rude towards us (made us wait and no smile). Overall, good experience and would still come back for more (hopefully for better service from the hostesses stand).

    Lobster Potstickers & Big Eye Tuna Poke

    I haven't been to a Roy's in like over 10 years, I think the closest one to me closed down. In any case I ended up here with my old friend from college who is visiting town and staying in this area. We came from another event so we were already full but she and I needed to catch up by ourselves so we went here. The place is typical of any Roy's restaurant - high ceilings no and spacious dining area. We were here for apps and drinks. Our server was lovely and I wish I remembered her name but she was really friendly and attentive. My mojito is good and not watered down. The poke with the wonton chips are my favorite. Very light and fresh. The potstickers are good as well but between the 2 I still prefer the poke. Great place is you're in the area to sit and chat with friends/ family.

    salad

    Yummy food, friendly staff, excellent service, beautiful ambiance and great location. My husband and I ordered the 3-course Prix Fixe menu items, beef ribs and salmon. The course started with a generously portioned salad with a light salad dressing. Then the entres were served with tender ribs meat (thank goodness no bones) and creamy potatoes and fresh juicy grilled salmon paired nicely with an onigiri. The star of the show was the chocolate souffle, so decadent as the warm chocolate cream oozing out when you cut through the souffle with the fork...the best of the best IMO. Yes, I highly recommend and will return in the future, perhaps at the Oahu locations as well. BTW, one star went to the wellness 5% fee they charged. I am not fan of extra charges - I wish they could've left it out and it would've been a rock solid five stars.

    Simple, this place rocked my taste buds. Ordered the crispy chicken rolls-an upgraded version of eggrolls with sweet chilli. Then I tried their classic four- Hibachi Grilled Atlantic Salmon, Misoyaki Butterfish, Blackened Island Ahi, and a Roasted Macadamia Nut Crusted Fresh Fish of the Day. My husband got the braised beef with salad and both were rich in flavor. Upscale plating and excellent service. Smiles all around!

    Their decor was nice, the majority of what we ordered tasted fine, but the steak was salty. I passed by the restaurant twice and had to uturn, although their entrance was facing the road I was on. Having the display of the restaurant name stand out wouldn't be a bad idea. It was also a little crowded there; tables were a little too close together. Not an ideal place for relaxation and good conversation. The service was good. Our waitress was polite and thoughtful.

    Came here for a graduation party and I thought the food was good. I would say the best part of the 3 courses was the salad as the sauce blended really well with the veggies. The Ahi tuna dish was alright. I wish it was a bigger portion though because I felt like I finished it in less than 10 minutes. I thought the sauce that came with the dish tasted really good with the tuna. As for dessert, I felt that it was a good balance of tart and sweet. The sauce that was under the cake tasted delicious as well. As for service, we did have to wait a while for our food to come out, but I believe they were just waiting for everyone to finish and clear bowls before they went on to the next course. The atmosphere was nice and I loved that we had a little private area to dine and chat.

    Spring rolls
    Sara O.

    Pleasant dining experience. From the beginning the staff offered to store our stroller while we dined. This allowed us to store our belongings and to sit comfortably in the booth. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout. We immediately notified them we were there for the happy hour and their demeanor didn't change. I felt well taken care of and the staff repeatedly check in on us. We ordered the sushi roll, sliders, spring rolls and kids meals. We also ordered several rounds of drinks. The only suggestion is to offer beer on draft instead of in a can. As for the ambiance, the restaurant is very nice fine dining.

    Lobster and filet.
    Vanessa G.

    I'm surprised I have never reviewed this place, since its one of my faves and I have been coming here for years. This is a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion or just a fun date. The cocktails are better than anyone in the area. The martinis are fantastic as are the mai tais. The happy hour is amazing and I also love the prix fix meals. Service is always wonderful. This is a dining experience that is different than your average steak and seafood restaurant, because it has an island flair. My fave is the butter fish with short ribs surf and turf meal. You get the best of both worlds! I truly love this place!!

    Rum and coke my usual

    Valentine's Day weekend Is always a crazy but it was worth it. This is a once in a while thing for us to splurge like this. However if we were going to do it? I'm glad we did it here at Roys. Nice classy place with a great atmosphere. We didn't have reservations but were able to sit at the bar (small tables and chairs available in the area) customer service was really good from everyone who visited our table (maybe close to five different people came to our table) I got the sea bass, I have never ordered sea bass before. It was delicious the pairing of the items it came with was perfect. We will definitely need to plan another visit to Roys in the future and I will remember to make a reservation this time.

    Are they reopened for outdoor dining or takeout - website says they are still closed? But They have a carry out menu on their website but menu link doesn't work?

    Restaurant is open. Indoor and outdoor dining!

    Does anyone know why I was charged a separate COVID-19 tax on my Roy's bill? Has anyone else ever seen this?

    Since Mid-May, some restaurants are adding a COVID 19 surcharge related to the extra steps they take to comply with the ever evolving rules about staying open-or not. It is seen mostly in California, Illinois, and Michigan.

    Is there happy hour available again during Covid 19?

    They are doing half off wine bottles from the cellar during this time, you must ask for the list. Not sure how long it will last, but is was a great deal!

    What is the parking situation ? Valet, private lot or street parking?

    There is a parking structure, next door, with intermittent valet.

    How do I make reservation for 2 ? I only see bookings for large parties.

    You should be able to do it through Open Table. If not, call it in.

Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait. Highly recommended.
