Roy's Hawaii Kai

Wonderful restaurant for dinner. Amazing food and excellent service. The macadamia nut Hawaiian fish, braised beef short rib, crispy zucchini, and Kuli’ou’ou organic mix salad were our favourites of the dishes we tried. The bread pudding was also incredible. Beautiful views from the restaurant as well. Excellent experience!

Went for a personal private event. First on the list was Roy's Dim Sum Appetizer Plate: Sugarland tomato capresse, mushroom arancini, island blackened ahi, and crispy zucchini bao - it decent but nothing fancy. I think the crispy zucchini bao was probably the favorite of the four. Next dish was the shrimp Caesar salad with pepper croutons - I would order this for a main entree if I only ate salad, definitely enjoyed this. I had the Mongolian short ribs with Yukon potato puree - the meat was a little dry and it kind of lacked favor, had to scope the sauce to add some taste to it. The potato purée was good! There was also the baby back ribs version, which I heard was really good and feel off the bone. There was also a Mac nut encrusted fish that I also heard was really good. Next time I should try those two. Final dish was a Lilikoi panna cotta dessert - it was delicious! Roy have to give the Hawaii Kai dessert team a raise because it knocked my tastebuds out the window. Also give the bartender a raise cause my Roy’s old fashioned was on it! The wait staff was on it as well! They should deserve a raise! It is best to make reservations and there are ample parking. There is an outside sitting area as well. This place is good for date night.

We decided to host our bi-annual company dinner at this location and we were not disappointed! Carmen, their Private Dinning Coordinator, was so easy to work with and made sure our event was executed, almost, flawlessly. They had put together a prefix menu for us, and within our desired budget! They took great care in making sure food allergies were attended to and they placed our company logos on both the main and keiki menu. I was not, personally, able to attend but heard a lot of great comments from our team members, and their families, that did attend. They really enjoyed the view, the food and the attention of the staff. Mahalo Roy's for hosting our company dinner!

The food and service is absolutely amazing! We had started off with the baby back ribs, fried brussel sprouts, spicy tuna roll and crab cakes. For the entrees we had the misoyaki butter fish, the braised short ribs, and pan seared scallops. For dessert the chocolate lave cake and bread pudding. Hands down one of the best meal I've had in a long time. Not one thing I didn't like but if I have to choose it's the misoyaki butter fish is a must have. Kid friendly and the kids menu is a three course meal. Roy's will be our go to place for special occasions. The staff was amazing and the server was on top of everything. Can't wait till the next time. And always remember thank you for the food!
