Roy’s Ko Olina - Kapolei

Serious Eats! I knew going into Roy’s was going to be a financial heart ache but I can now say it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought. More importantly you got more than your moneys worth. DO NOT snack before you go. Our group of 4 from Illinois knew we were going for good food and an experience of a lifetime with great friends. We started with cocktails and complementary edamame, great start. Wait staff was outstanding and described many offerings that were not on the menu as well as some of the signature dishes. Very tough decisions to be made from here. We started with 2- Canoes for Two and Compressed Watermelon Salad. Personally, after the fact I can say I could have just had the Watermelon and Feta Salad. Very light and refreshing vs. egg rolls and complements For the entree, I had Chinese Style Opakapaka. It had bits of sausage and mushrooms sitting on baby Boc Choy. I have to say it was the best fish I have ever had, being from ILLINOIS remember. Then I tried my friends Misoyaki Butterfish. OMG, this fish was amazing. If you are a group of 2, these would be the two dishes to get so you can share. HUGE portions that are double the size for the price we would get in the Midwest. The last entree was the Grilled Japanese Hamachi. Delicious fish, huge portion but just didn’t amaze me like the other 2. We had coupons for desert. The Lava Cake was such a good way to finish a Celebratory meal with great friends. Drinks, Mai Tai was the favorite over the Martini. The lady’s loved the Chardonnay.

Food was amazing. We were advised by our tourist with Hi5 told us about their amazing food and the best Pineapple martini he had near our resort. We were not disappointed. The drinks and food was great. The waiter was friendly and tentative. If ever near there again will go back again. The price is high but the food is worth it.

Visited Roy’s for our wedding reception. The outdoor seating area was gorgeous, beautiful views, relaxing atmosphere and a convenient outdoor bar for drinks. Food was amazing, our party was around 20 people and everyone raved about how great the service and food were. The drinks were tasty as well. The event planning team were courteous and extremely helpful with all of our requests/questions. A truly great spot for a meal, escape from the resort or an intimate event.

The Butterfish is very good and lives up to the hype. In general, the flavours are intense don't let the fish on the menu fool you, you'd better enjoy rich food! Well worth the price on every level service, ambiance, taste, presentation, creativity. It was a great night out.

This restaurant has some of the best service I’ve ever received. Every single person we encountered was so friendly and helpful. It’s obviously well-managed, and they clearly hire great people. All should be commended. Their food is also amazing. There’s so much on the menu that looks great.
