Editorial Review for Roy's – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Roy Yamaguchi opened his first restaurant in 1988 in Honolulu, Hawaii, blending European cooking techniques with locally produced ingredients and Asian spices. Today, his Hawaiian-fusion cuisine is served in a sophisticated atmosphere with dark woods, Asian accents and contemporary, island-inspired art. In addition to "Roy's classics" like Hawaiian-style misoyaki butterfish and the popular melting hot chocolate souffle, each location offers daily specials prepared by the local chef, all of whom are trained personally by Roy.

I actually want to review Roy's in Anaheim at the Garden Walk just east of Disneyland on Katella. As there is no site for that yet, I'll write on this Roy's which I have been to as well. My husband and I had tickets to a concert on May 10, 2008, Saturday night during Mother's day weekend and we took our chances trying to get walk in seating. When we arrived at Roy's, Anaheim, they said they were fully booked with reservations but did offer the chef's table next to the kitchen (counter seating). We decided to try as we were very happy that another Roy's has opened closer to us. We had a great time watching the chef's do their magic and mentally taking notes of what to order next time we come. The food was excellent except for one thing I will mention in a second. We ordered the pre-fixe menu and the appetizers were great, tri-tip cooked to perfection and the ono was ono-licious except for the gorgonzola cheese on top. Too strong for my palate and of course, the molten chocolate cake...yum! We were extremely grateful to have been accomodated without reservations, enjoyed great food and the service was very professional yet not stuffy. Will definitely be returning!
Pros: food and service
Cons: chef's table was a bit on the warm side

I adore this place. Unfortunately, because it is so expensive, it is a special ocassion place for me, which makes it even more exciting when I go. Their fish is unbelievable, and they are always changing up their menu to keep customers on their toes. The serves know everything and more about their dishes, and are always willing to help you out, very nice. Of course, what they're known for is their AMAZING chocolate souffle, which you have to order with your meal because it takes about 30 minutes to make! SO worth it. I recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!
Pros: Food, Ambiance, Service
Cons: Price
