Roy's Waikiki

Despite of the mixed reviews, we decided to go anyways. Our very first meal in Hawaii. Yet we weren’t satisfied with the quality. The staff were nice, the wine portions were on the generous side .. but food!!!!! We didn’t think it was great for the price. Not bad but more so, over priced. Not sure if we will visit again. For two people, it turned out to be around $130. We didn’t order much as we are small eaters. It was nice of them to serve a free dessert with a message written in chocolate. Creme brûlée was a little bit heavy on the taste as we prefer the light and fluffy kind. Also I wish it’d be nice if they had served food on the nicer dishes. Our dishes were quite worn out.

Staying at the Outrigger Reef Resort, Roy’s was close by. Was looking to try Hawaiian cuisine instead of American food that we normally eat in NY. It is very pricey and the food was good. It isn’t great that I would be dying to go have it again. The service was phenomenal though although I must add, there were only maybe 4 tables within the restaurant. I guess they require reservations but the restaurant was able to accommodate us without a reservation. There isn’t much of a selection in food in my opinion so I asked for recommendations from our server. He didn’t steer us wrong. I think the best thing I liked were the edamames - slightly spicy on the shell but a good snack. The children’s ribs were great! The meat just cut up very easily. The local catch was swordfish the day I went to eat. It was bland but went well with the scampi. The upside pineapple cake was good, but I didn’t know whether it was because I ate the lava cake first, which was sweet, followed by the pineapple that made it sour but I wasn’t a fan of the pineapple. If you do opt to get both, try the pineapple first before diving into another sweet treat. Otherwise, great dinner for a final night in Hawaii.

This was by far the best restaurant I have ever eaten at in my life. I can tell chef Roy spent a lot of time training his brigade to cook such a high calibur of food. Me and my wife decided to do the three course meal, and everything was outstanding. I highly recommend making reservations as early as possible if you're able to make them before going to Waikiki for a family trip or visiting from another country. You will not want to miss out eating here. The staff was phenomenal, atmosphere was incredible. Next time we come to Hawaii this is going to be our first thing to plan. 11/10 highly recommend

There are a number of Roy’s restaurants but this is the one to visit. Specifically choose a seat at the outside bar. Great service, atmosphere, and the whole menu is available. There are a number of great items on the menu but you have to try the baby back pork ribs on the appetizer menu and the frying dragon roll. I wouldn’t call it traditional sushi but it’s addictive. Butter fish and a wonderful selection of sauces. We literally order two of each and that’s dinner. Also don’t skip a good rum and fresh pineapple cocktail!

Would definitely recommend the garlic butter prawns & crab dumplings, as well as the frying dragon roll. Sauces on both dishes were so good that we cleaned the plates. Definitely come hungry because American portions make it harder to try everything and still walk home, plus the cocktails are quite strong

Shared a great meal with friends. Still as good as ever. Not many places have a delicious variety of dishes and specialty items. We had seafood, beef, pork, duck, salads and more to please our palettes.

OMG this place is amazing, my new favourite restaurant in Waikiki. The food is truly fantastic. The sushi is very tasty and the ribs just about perfect. I was lucky enough to have a seat by the kitchen, a perfect vantage point to see what is being prepared. There’s more intimate seating inside plus some alfresco dining outside. There should be something to suit everyone. When ordering I didn’t make it past the starters entrée’s not that I feel I missed out on anything. The service was prompt and efficient. Hoping you enjoy as much as I did.

Roy's Waikiki has been a well known establishment and after visiting this restaurant, I can see why. The service at this restaurant was absolutely phenomenal. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and quick to assist you. The food was great, with a wide variety of dishes. I had the pre-fix and that was a great option to have a little bit of everything. Overall, I recommend this restaurant for anyone staying in Honolulu.

Food was absolutely amazing. First time in a long time where drink, appetizers, entrees and dessert all were great. GET THE BABY BACK RIBS APPETIZER. YOU WILL LOVE IT! The servers were very hospitable. Very attentive and knowledgeable.

This restaurant was recommended as one of the favorites of the locals and it did not disappoint. The food was fantastic and their sashimi was very good. We had multiple types of entreés from surf and turf to slow cooked pork and so much more. We went for new year's eve and they had a full course meal that time. Their cheescake and lava cake were also very good. Those eating with their parents should bring a physical identification if they are drinking alcohol for some odd reason, they asked for mine even though I'm way beyond the limit. They accept local and foreign credit cards. Vegetarian options: Their mains usually compose of meats but I do think they have a vegetarian option. Kid-friendliness: The tables are huge and the place is quite spacious perfect for families, although the food might not suit kids. Parking: There were no cars around the block so there might be parking somewhere. Wheelchair accessibility: They do not have a ramp going to the restaurant. Dietary restrictions: I think they serve seafood, meats, and other entrées so one might be able to request what to eat.
