Fodor's Review:

Founder Roy Yamaguchi is a James Beard Award-winning chef who now has almost 40 restaurants to his name from Japan to Florida. This is one of his first, and regulars keep returning for his Hawaiian-fusion specialties and private-label wines and beers. Favorites include Kona kampachi tataki with sizzling yuzu soy and sesame snap peas; crisp Sonoma duck breast with Makawao mushroom risotto cake; and pepper-seared scallops and seared white shrimp with saffron rice. Locals know to order the incomparable chocolate soufflé immediately after being seated. Both branches, in Kahana and Kihei, are in supermarket parking lots—it's not the view that excites; it's the fantastic food and the welcoming and professional service.

My husband and I have enjoyed dinner at Roy's at least 3 times now, and have never been disappointed. We will probably be there again in October. The filet mignon I had our first visit was TO DIE FOR! Melted in your mouth. The seafood is always cooked perfectley, and the staff is most pleasant. I would recommend Roy's over Plantation House any day...view is not as great, but food and atmosphere are way beyond.

The food is just as good as mama's fish house if not better. The price is much more affordable. Fish entree is about $35. Order the chocolate souffle for dessert. It's the only good dessert if you ask me. Atmosphere is not as good as Mamas, but the food is better. My honey loves the Ahi entree ( he order Seared), and he doesn't even like fish( due to the fishy odor, there is no fishy odor here ) Fish is very fresh.
