By far one of the best restaurants in Waikiki. From the moment you walk in you’re greeted and everyone is so welcoming. Jo, Maya and Maike waited on me and they were all wonderful and so kind. The manager came by as well to check on me and she was just so sweet. Now onto the food, it was so delicious. I had the Local Deluxe plate so I can sample a little bit of everything they had. For dessert, of course I got the pineapple upside cake and it made to order so it was warm and delicious. I highly recommend Roy’s to anyone visiting Waikiki.

The service is good, our waiter was very attentive. The medium rare burger we ordered was overcooked. The butterfish was good but had too much mustard for my taste, its 60 bucks so I was disappointed it does not come with a side. The crab cake appetizers were delicious and the edamame they bring as free appetizer was pretty good.

We had a dinner reservation late in the evening. Even though we were one of the last reservations we didn’t feel rushed. This restaurant was a recommendation. Walking distance from our hotel. Prime location. The service and the food were exceptional. Loved the atmosphere. Loved the knowledge of the host. Would recommend!

Incredible food, service, and atmosphere. Truly a phenomenal meal. Went with the fixed price menu and not a single course disappointed!! I left descriptions in my figure captions and was running out of high-praise adjectives. The fixed price was $125, which really isn’t bad given the quality and experience. Best meal on Oahu all week!

Nicest people, it was my birthday and they brought me cakes and hot, and they generally were super attentive, the food was really good. It was Hawaiian sushi, which is different than the normal sushi that I know but I still really good. The drinks was spicy and good.

Super fancy ✨. Really good food. The pork was crispy, tender and fatty. The sauce complimented it perfectly 😋. The shrimp 🍤 was big and fresh. The ravioli OMG sooo creamy and cheesey and rich. I also got the fried zucchini and it was delicious 🤤. The staff were super nice and friendly and the restaurant looked modern. But the lights were a little too dim. For dessert I got the chocolate lava souffle cake. Soooooo chocolatey and rich and with raspberry sauce and ice cream 🍦🍫. It literally melted into chocolate! So good

Huge restaurant and part of high-end chain, which in this case means high quality standards in food and service. Great end to end meal from appetizers to mains and dessert. Service was attentive and offered good recommendations. The only improvement point is dish presentation which is probably not showcasing the kitchen output at its best, especially with main courses.
