Best Food in Town Period.. Wow! This restaurant is fantastic. It has bold Asian flavors combined with artistic presentations. Literally the kajaki (Hawaiian for blue marlin) was so beautiful that I didn't want to eat it, alas when i finally did taste it it was delicious. While I was there i also enjoyed the Blackened Tuna appetizer which was delightful a spicy but not too spicy mustard butter sauce went very well with this high quality tuna. I also had the sashami sampler which blew my socks off!!!! Maybe Roys is the next hot sushi restaurant in Austin?? I certainly think so. The service was absolutely wonderful; very attentive and personal, the new Executive Chef ,Jason,even came by to say hello. I will definitely return to this great Austin restaurant.

Amazing Seafood!!!!. Ate there with my wife two nights ago and haven't stopped talking about it. The Ahi tuna was amazing. I haven't had any as good since I left the coast. Service was spot on and the wine list was great as well. I am surprised that more people havent' stumbled across this place. It is right downtown and probably now rates as my favorite restaurant. They have an amazing patio, too. I highly suggest this place for either a special occasion or just an excuse to have some good food.

great food, quit and intimate. I love Roy's Hawaiin .It has a super friendly staff and the food is great. If you need to $ pinch on the money, don't go. But cheap food does'nt taste like this!! It takes time to cook great food and I'm o.k. paying for it, too. Great for date night or a few friend's gathering. Beautiful atmosphere. Bon A'petite!!

This sophisticated Hawaiian-fusion restaurant gives mainlanders an upscale taste of the islands.. 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.

sERVICE AND RIBS ARE A PHENOM. The service is wonderful and the ribs are to die for. Never thought a place like Roys would have great ribs because its really a fish joint. But the ribs and steak were as good as any high end steak house.

The chicken was so - so. I would recommend sticking to the fish or the beef.
