One of the best meals ever. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary together and I reserved a table for us at the original Roy’s. We were treated extremely well n our waiter was exceptionally nice and friendly. We started with a pair of Hawaii martini’s. Excellent! We then split the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. We then ordered the trio fish plate that we just fell in love with. To cap it off we had the upside down pineapple cake. Overall just an amazing dinner! Highly recommend this place!!

Amazing food but watch out for a lack of attention from certain servers as Bailey did nothing but take our order and essentially abondon the table in addition to not offering a printed bill but when reviewed on handheld had incorrect items charged. First time in years that I felt the need to lower the tip due to poor service. Hopefully management starts paying attention to customer satisfaction. All this is unfortunate as the menu and food is absolutely perfect!!

Best overall value and Edomae/Tokyo-style sushi in the Pacific!! The assorted sashimi plate for two under $40 is a steal!! My fav Nippon brew, Asahi Super Dry, on tap…….plus a healthy variety of sakes and shochus for those that prefer moonshine!! Easy ordering using the table tablet. Super friendly service by the floor staff and the most skilled and experienced Japanese chefs working hard behind the bar. What more can you ask for??
