Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Kailua

Wow, where have I been? This is a great, high quality, friendly, tasty, comfortable place to eat. The organic chicken in cast iron was one of the best chicken meals I’ve ever eaten in my life. It reminded me of the chicken at a chain restaurant in Japan called Ajitoya. The Beet salad was one of the first salads I’ve eaten that wasn’t overwhelming with one particular item. Even if you don’t like beets, there is enough of other flavors to fall in love with. It has the perfect mix of flavors that work well together. Chocolate Purse for dessert? Don’t bother sharing, get your own…lol. Only small complaint would be it’s a tad bit on the pricier side, but my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. Our server was great, and you really get a sense that the entire staff that works here, works well together. Lots of smiling faces and cohesiveness from the team. I even saw the hostess walking around helping servers to fill up water. This is a top 5 restaurant in the entire Ward/ Waikiki area, don’t hesitate to go, you will enjoy it very much.

Food and service always a cut above all others. The view makes this restaurant a must for visitors and Hawaii residents alike. We return here several times a year or more and have never been disappointed.

Original Roy’s at Hawaii Kai delivers an unforgettable dining experience that perfectly blends culinary excellence with a great sunset view. The food is nothing short of outstanding, showcasing bold flavors and impeccable presentation that highlight the restaurant’s Hawaiian fusion roots. The service was superb—attentive, friendly, and seamless from start to finish, making us feel truly valued. To top it all off, we were treated to a stunning sunset view from the second-floor dining room, which added an extra layer of magic to our evening. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a perfect meal in a beautiful setting. Oh, and by the way, don’t forget to save room for one of the soufflés. We had both the chocolate and the seasonal pumpkin. Both were delicious!

Service was excellent and manager come over to ask if everything is fine. We celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary and loved the cheesecake. Great job Roy and Denise in making this our favorite restaurant for ourselves and the many friends and relatives that we invite to have a wonderful dinner at a really nice spot.

Food was very good. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but we enjoyed ourselves. Music started at 11 am, place started to get busy. Chef Cidney came by and said hello. Highly recommend giving it a try, won’t be disappointed. Excited to try dinner. Much needed in Kailua.
