    Menu prices have raised significantly over my past few visits to this location. Over $70 for the fish trip is highway robbery.

    Outstanding service and attention to our every need. Server was very knowledgeable about the different foods and quickly understood the kind of fish we might prefer. Timing of the appetizer (crab cakes which were amazing), main dish (the butterfish caused an explosion of flavor in my mouth) and the dessert (one of us lava cake the other upside down pineapple cake) perfect. We were never rushed and the entire meal was a highlight of our trip. You will not go wrong at Roy’s and we will certainly return. Please remember that you will get what you pay for. Take a look at the menu and prices before you go to assure this amazing experience is within your travel budget and you won’t be caught off guard. We will certainly go back to Roy’s when we return to Hawai’i. Thank you Roy’s.

    By far one of the best restaurants in Waikiki. From the moment you walk in you’re greeted and everyone is so welcoming. Jo, Maya and Maike waited on me and they were all wonderful and so kind. The manager came by as well to check on me and she was just so sweet. Now onto the food, it was so delicious. I had the Local Deluxe plate so I can sample a little bit of everything they had. For dessert, of course I got the pineapple upside cake and it made to order so it was warm and delicious. I highly recommend Roy’s to anyone visiting Waikiki.

    Awesome service. Terrific food. Beautiful location. Only (very small) issue is that it got very hot while I was there. Thank you to Mike, my server, for making my birthday very special.

    Not only was the food excellent as expected, but the staff was incredible that evening. The manager came around and not only was extremely friendly, but we had a serious conversation, and ending up giving her (Diva) a hug before we left.  We would come back just to see her!

    Lovely evening at Roys. The three fish entre was good, and also the crab cakes, though small and overpriced. My miso yak I butterfish was far too soaked in the miso to be able to taste the fish, but overall a nice evening.
