Fodor's Review:

Roy Yamaguchi's flagship restaurant across the highway from Maunalua Bay attracts food-savvy visitors like the North Shore attracts surfers. But it also has a strong following among well-heeled Oahuans from surrounding neighborhoods, who consider the place an extension of their homes and Roy's team their personal chefs. For this reason, Roy's is always busy and sometimes overly noisy. It's best to visit later in the evening if you're sensitive to pressure to turn the table. The wide-ranging and ever-interesting Hawaiian fusion menu changes daily except for signature dishes like Roy's Original blackened ahi with soy-mustard-butter sauce, and a legendary meat loaf. There's an exceptional wine list.

I have eaten at three different locations (Big Island, Maui, and Oahu) and never had a bad experience. Excellent food choices from appetizers to desserts. Service is top notch as various staff members constantly attended to all details of keeping the glasses full, bringing the food in a timely fashion, and knowledge about the menu.
