Featured Review

In Short – Roy Yamaguchi opened his first restaurant in 1988 in Honolulu, Hawaii, blending European cooking techniques with locally produced ingredients and Asian spices. Today, his Hawaiian-fusion cuisine is served in a sophisticated atmosphere with dark woods, Asian accents and contemporary, island-inspired art. In addition to "Roy's classics" like Hawaiian-style misoyaki butterfish and the popular melting hot chocolate souffle, each location offers daily specials prepared by the local chef, all of whom are trained personally by Roy.

Top-notch restaurant

I actually want to review Roy's in Anaheim at the Garden Walk just east of Disneyland on Katella. As there is no site for that yet, I'll write on this Roy's which I have been to as well. My husband and I had tickets to a concert on May 10, 2008, Saturday night during Mother's day weekend and we took our chances trying to get walk in seating. When we arrived at Roy's, Anaheim, they said they were fully booked with reservations but did offer the chef's table next to the kitchen (counter seating). We decided to try as we were very happy that another Roy's has opened closer to us. We had a great time watching the chef's do their magic and mentally taking notes of what to order next time we come. The food was excellent except for one thing I will mention in a second. We ordered the pre-fixe menu and the appetizers were great, tri-tip cooked to perfection and the ono was ono-licious except for the gorgonzola cheese on top. Too strong for my palate and of course, the molten chocolate cake...yum! We were extremely grateful to have been accomodated without reservations, enjoyed great food and the service was very professional yet not stuffy. Will definitely be returning!
- Pros: food and service
- Cons: chef's table was a bit on the warm side

BEST Hawaiin fusion.

I adore this place. Unfortunately, because it is so expensive, it is a special ocassion place for me, which makes it even more exciting when I go. Their fish is unbelievable, and they are always changing up their menu to keep customers on their toes. The serves know everything and more about their dishes, and are always willing to help you out, very nice. Of course, what they're known for is their AMAZING chocolate souffle, which you have to order with your meal because it takes about 30 minutes to make! SO worth it. I recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!
- Pros: Food, Ambiance, Service
- Cons: Price

We love Roys!

Me and my husband LOVE roy's! The last two times we went we were asked if it was a special occasion and the waiter brought us out a free personalized desert. The wait staff is always excellent! Infact last time we went the waiter accidentally brought out the wrong steak for my husband and the waiter took it off the bill entirely with out even asking. When does that ever happen? Great food. We love it.
- Pros: Great food. Amazing deserts, great staff
- Cons: sometimes hard to get into on weekends like everywhere in La

Good food, bad Service!
by afandrews777 at Citysearch
Don't get me wrong, the food at Roy's is awesome, but the service stinks! We made the mistake of coming in on a Friday night with a reservation and ordering from the Prix Fix menu. I guess that was a tip off to the waiter that his tip was going to be bad, although we would have tipped well. After our entrees, our waiter gave us the dessert drink menu and we did not see him again for over 35 minutes. My husband had to actually get up and go over to him to remind him that still had not gotten our desserts. Ten minutes later the manager came over and tried to offer us two desserts for our wait. Well, I think the waiter could have come over earlier to say that the desserts would be out shortly, sorry for the wait, but that never happened. We were disappointed in the way that Roy's handled this situation and will not return.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Service - for this pricce!

I love this place!

I've been to this place twice and they haven't failed me. My boyfriend and I eat quite a bit and so we got to try a few things at this place already. Starting with the appetizer which had 4 different things in a boat-like platter: potstickers, some ribs, sushi rolls, and shrimp, it was so delicious that I would probably order this as a meal next time I go there. I ordered butterfish the last 2 times Ive been here...soooo good! Very moist and just very tasty. My bf has ordered the trio before and somekind of volcano ono, hmmm, delicious too! They have relaly good drinks as well as good lava cake. The service was awesome except for the last time we went, I got a little upset because we waited for 20 minutes even though we had reservations and got there on time...they booked way too many people I think...but of course, as soon as I had my first bite, I forgot about waiting for our table. You should try this, I highly recommend it! It's different from other seafood places, the hawaiian fushion is very good!!
