Reviews for Roy's Waikiki in Honolulu, HI
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 theprice. Not bad but more so, over priced. Not sure if we will visit again. For two people, it turned out to be around $130. Wedidn?t order much as we are small eaters. It was nice of them to serve a free dessert with a message written in chocolate. Cremebrûlée 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 servedfood on the nicer dishes. Our dishes were quite worn out. Read more
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. Read more
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 andstill walk home, plus the cocktails are quite strong ???? Read more
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 familytrip or visiting from another country. You will not want to miss out eating here. The staff was phenomenal, atmosphere wasincredible. Next time we come to Hawaii this is going to be our first thing to plan. 11/10 highly recommend ??

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. Theservice was phenomenal though although I must add, there were only maybe 4 tables within the restaurant. I guess they requirereservations but the restaurant was able to accommodate us without a reservation. There isn?t much of a selection in food in myopinion so I asked for recommendations from our server. He didn?t steer us wrong. I think the best thing I liked were theedamames - slightly spicy on the shell but a good snack. The children?s ribs were great! The meat just cut up very easily. Thelocal 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 sourbut 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. Read more
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. Read more
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 beingprepared. There?s more intimate seating inside plus some alfresco dining outside. There should be something to suiteveryone. When ordering I didn?t make it past the starters (entrée?s) not that I feel I missed out on anything. The service wasprompt and efficient. Hoping you enjoy as much as I did. Read more
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 thebaby 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 rumand fresh pineapple cocktail! Read more
