Roy's Waikiki

Showed up for our reservation and were promptly seated. Our two waiters (one was named Mike) were excellent at providing recommendations and local knowledge--hugely appreciative of their expertise on both the menu and the island. The atmosphere was clean and orderly, and definitely gave the impression of a serious and refined dining establishment ‍ The Szechuan ribs as part of the Canoe sampler were incredible--we went non-verbal after trying them. Every piece of the meal was rich and well seasoned, and the dessert we got (chocolate soufflé) wasn't too sweet--perfectly balanced and gone all too quickly. This place was an amazing recommendation from a friend, and I can't pass that on enough.

Located in Waikiki, it's been a while since Lunch was served. On the corner across from the Halekulani, parking is available at the Embassy Suites. Came here for a media preview of the lunch menu. I will hands down tell you that my favorite will always be miso butterfish. I did like the crab cake that was available and the burger. Pricing isn't bad at all and reasonable considering where you are. There is live music and a full bar to enjoy. So anyone want to meet for lunch?

Solid experience and I have now been trio Roy's in 3 different islands and 3 different states back in the mainland. This place never disappoints...this has to be one of my favorite locations it's just classic and iconic right in the middle of Waikiki next to the ocean. Inside restaurant takes you back but it always super clean and spotless. Service always A+ our waitress last night was amazing! For dinner we split a couple of things the beach canoe appetizer. I would highly suggest this. It gives you all the great things on one plate...egg rolls, shrimp skewers, ribs and sushi. For dinner we also split the Beach walk trio which is butter fish, macadamia nut halibut and salmon. If you come here and don't try the butter fish I am telling you that you have missed out!! All the fish here is amazing but that butter fish is something special. Topped off the night with their specialty pineapple upside down cake and be pre-warned you have to order this at least 30 mins in advance or your not getting any. Trust me it's worth it! I am not even a big desert person and I get it every time I am here! Great experience and would highly recommend.

Friendly service from the get go. Was greeted by the Host (Kayla?) who showed us to our table and also pointed out the location of the restroom for me.Our server was Tanya. She was great as well as the others who tended to us and kept our water glasses full. The coffee was great and the refills were coming too.I had the cobb salad with prawns for an additional charge. I love how they put it on a stick. The appetizers were delicious. We had the ribs and crab cakes.The atmosphere is wonderful. I felt like I was on vacation. There's a musician who plays guitar and sings. He was amazing. All around great vibes here. You can see how the employees love their jobs by the way they treat their patrons.

5 Stars - A Must-Try for Locals and Visitors Alike!As a local foodie, I've had my fair share of great eats around the island, but Roy's Waikiki always delivers an experience that keeps me coming back. Now that lunch is back, it's the perfect excuse to enjoy their signature flavors in the heart of Waikiki. This would a great place to have a business lunch, in their classy cozy atmosphere, not to mention, their award winning service.I stopped by for lunch and was blown away by the Sambal Plum Glazed C.A.B. Burger - perfectly juicy with just the right kick of heat. Also must tries are the HK Crab Cakes and Frying Dragon Roll, And of course, Roy's classics never disappoint - the Seared Big Eye Tuna was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, while the Szechuan Pork Ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with a bold, flavorful glaze.What makes the experience even better? Live music during lunch hours and happy hour from 2-4 PM - the perfect way to unwind with a cocktail and ono pupus. Plus, validated valet parking at Embassy Suites makes it so easy to drop in without the usual Waikiki parking struggle.Whether you're a longtime fan or trying Roy's for the first time, this spot never misses. Definitely adding this to my regular lunch rotation!

Roy's never misses a step, no matter what location you're dining at. The Waikiki restaurant isn't on the water but the outdoor tables along Lewers and Kalia offer an entertaining view of the tourist scene. The service is as impeccable as any other Roy's location, as is the food. They're currently running a fantastic deal for lunch: a 2-course Prix Fixe for $56 (1st course: Bigeye Blackened Ahi, 2nd course: Asian BBQ Pulled Beef & Duck Confit). For dessert, don't sleep on the Waikiki Mud Pie - and have it first if you're a dessert fiend like me.The only challenge to that location is the same for most Waikiki restaurants - parking. They offer validation for parking at the Embassy Suites - it's valet only and $8 for 4 hours. BUT if you dine between 10am-3pm it's free - just don't go one second over 3pm because you will get charged!!

Great experience! We had a nice family dinner, a celebration of our son and his fiancée engagement. Great drinks. Our waiter is very attentive food came fast and great service.

We made a reservation for dinner for my wife's birthday. The staff couldn't have been nicer when we arrived and even gave us a complimentary desert for her birthday.We have been to Roy's in other locations. This one is lovely. Great high end dining experience in the environment and service. But the fish didn't hit the mark on this visit. My wife was so looking forward to the butter fish. I ordered a combo of their fish dishes. Unfortunately we both didn't love our dishes. The fish was fishy in a way that we didn't enjoy. It was likely an off night, as we've always throughly enjoyed Roy's in the past. I'll reiterate, the place is very nice and the staff is 5 stars all the way. The lower rating is due to our meal on this night being off for us both. The drinks and desert were fantastic as was the service.

The Original Roy's Waikiki is a very classy fine dining restaurant. I had the Macadamias Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi in a lobster sauce and finished with their famous Pineapple Upside Down Cake. The food is stunning and divinely delicious, and the service is on point. While it is pricey, make one of your nights on Oahu a special occasion by dining at Roy's.2

Very good service. But,My work colleagues raved about the miso butterfish. Apparently I need to order that somewhere else.
