Roy's

Roy's Review

Roy Yamaguchi's flagship restaurant across the highway from Maunalua Bay attracts food-savvy visitors as 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, or very early to catch the sunset. The wide-ranging and ever-interesting Hawaiian fusion menu changes daily except for signature dishes like Szechuan spiced barbecue baby back ribs, Roy's Original blackened ahi with soy mustard butter sauce, and a legendary meat loaf. There's an exceptional wine list.
