The food was mouth watering, every item. Poke (came on a sizzling fajita platter), Pork Belly buns , Miso Butterfish with wasabi butter, steamed snapper in curry broth with yummy risotto. I could have eaten the entire menu. But be ware, this is a ginourmous restaurant with seemingly a thousand tables. Not much in the way of ambiance. I also... More

Located right in the heart of Waikiki…Roy's Waikiki Beach definitely delivers! Fine dining flavours, without the stuffy atmosphere. I have dined here multiple times and it never disappoints…super excited to try out their vegan friendly tasting menu!

I ate here last month and had a good meal. Ate at one of his places in Maui and had a great meal. This night, it wasn’t so good. The service was good, but the place is crazy crowded and you can tell they want to turn the tables. The food was just average this time. I have enjoyed Roy’s... More

Based on TA reviews, we went to Roy's for our anniversary dinner. Were we glad we did! My husband rates it his best meal in Hawaii. I enjoyed the fusion cuisine but just as much, the feeling that we were in the hands of people who know how to run a restaurant. The wait staff are very well trained and... More

HRC stands for Hawaii Regional Cuisine. It is a food movement with the aim to use local products to create dishes that mix the styles and tastes of the ethnicities represented in Hawaii. Roy's Waikiki is the best way for tourists in Waikiki to experience this style. While there are other HRC restaurants, most others are outside of Honolulu or... More

Ate an early dinner by myself on a Thursday night and stuck with their signature dishes of melon salad and almond encrusted fish. Both were excellent! My waiter (Chad) was knowledgable, attentive, and not over bearing. With two glasses of wine, the entire meal was under $75 which was reasonable for the quality.

Went to Roys twice on our visit here. Food was excellent both times. Fish of all types is the standout. Salmon, tuna, butterfish and scallops were all great. Salmon was probably the winning dish. The drinks are also excellent, with an extensive wine list and good cocktail menu. Deserts are a must, particularly the famous chocolate souffle. It is more... More

Just when you think for can't get any better, try Roy's! I can now understand why we needed to book...from the moment we walked in the Door, till the time we left, service, ambience, aromas, everything was special. The staff were attentive without being too attentive. The food is amazing, as I travel a lot, I really enjoy trying the... More
