    We have always loved Roy’s. Unfortunately this meal did not live up to past experiences. Too much salt in one of the dishes, Roys Chardonnay not good. Sorry

    We have been going here for more than 10 years when we vacation on Kauai. My husband loves the barbecue ribs. My favorite is the butter fish. Definitely a keeper!

    I’ve always wanted to eat here, and finally this trip we did. So happy about that. Our server was Mikey, I believe and he explained in detail all the dishes we were considering. So friendly and personable. I had a Poipu Breeze to drink and it was delicious. We were served complimentary edamame that were nicely spiced. We started with the ribs as an appetizer and they were out of this world. The gentleman who took our plates away brought hot towels for us to clean our sticky fingers. My hubby ordered the gochuchang chicken bowl and I ordered the Hapa Burger. The chicken was fine, but let’s just say the burger was the best I have ever had. The patty itself had so much flavor and I just want more! It was served with three tempura fried onion rings - so crispy and light, along with fries which I didn’t really eat. Everyone was so attentive without being overbearing. We had no room for dessert. Next time I’m going to eat that first! Go. You won’t regret it. Oh, and make reservations!!

    Food is delicious and different. We ordered the short ribs and the ramen and were very happy with both. Finished off with pineapple upside down cake that was a perfect ending to the night. Service was excellent our drinks were always topped off quickly.

    Amazing meal— super fresh sashimi, rice bowls with butterfish, salmon or chicken- harmoniously seasoned. Great service, fantastic wine list. A classic chocolate lava cake that was silky and fudgy Very memorable meal
