“ Beautiful atmosphere. We had a window seat during happy hour, which also coincided with the beautiful sunset. As a no -drinker the Lilikoi Sake (?) was dangerously delicious. They also offer a vegetarian menu. I had the Mongolian Tofu Stir-fry. Others had Butterfish (priced high but delicious! They do have a “appetizer” size dish too) and the Chirashi Rice. For dessert we had the Molten Lava cake with ice cream. Did not disappoint. Great for special occasions! ”
“ Ok, took me 2 days to recover from the culinary experience of dining at Roy’s HI Kai & write this review! From reservation making to leaving, it was so aloha-fabulous! Almost don’t want to leave a great review or I might not get my next reservation time! Can’t say enough about their GM Brandon. Kind, attentive, hospitable, detail-focused servant, full of aloha. We could tell that his staff also respect & work hard for him. Our primary server was also Brandon which made it easy & Kailani & crew also graciously offered service extraordinaire & never said “I don’t know” but always smiled with a “sure, I can help with that!” Happy Hour pupu menu - ordered 5 items! Yikes! The sushi tempura was so good we ordered twice. Cocktails & wine accompaniment reasonably priced & high quality. Lucked out with a Sakura price fixe menu for two! that was sooo yummy & so well priced that I can’t tell you or for sure I won’t get a reservation. Mainly though, we can get great food in many places but their heart of aloha & beyond the call service made it a night to remember. Will be back for their local Hawaiian music night too. Mahalo to all! ”
“ Excellent all around. Killer Mai Tai. Gourmet meals. Lava cake! Had a beautiful sunset view. Expensive as hll but great food. 5 stars from me. ”
“ My wife and I had an unforgettable dinner at The Original Roy’s in Hawaii Kai during our honeymoon, and it was truly a highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—special thanks to Scotty and the manager for making us feel so welcomed. They even treated us to champagne and panna cotta on the house, which was such a kind and thoughtful gesture. We tried the wood-smoked Szechuan-style baby back pork ribs, the Misoyaki Butterfish, and a perfectly cooked whole red snapper—every dish was bursting with flavor. To top it all off, we ended the night with Roy’s signature chocolate souffle, which was absolutely divine. This meal was more than just dinner—it was an experience. Highly recommended for any occasion or a memorable night out in Honolulu. ”

The food is nothing short of outstanding, showcasing bold flavors and impeccable presentation that highlight the restaurant's Hawaiian fusion roots.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking a perfect meal in a beautiful setting. Oh, and by the way, don't forget to save room for one of the souffles. We had both the chocolate and the seasonal pumpkin. Both were delicious! ”
“ The food was excellent, but the service was even better. Scottie was our bartender and waiter, and he was amazing. It truly made for a great dining experience. ”
“ Excellent staff and atmosphere. The food was delicious. We got the crispy crap cake, butterfish, swordfish, and pineapple upside down cake. Each dish is uniquely tasty and the butterfish wasabi sauce is very impressive. We will come back! ”
“ Good food. Good service. Good attention to detail. Celebrated a birthday here and they did a good job at making you feel special. Location from the outside feels like a strip mall. Inside is better. ”
