Roy's Restaurant

Type: American Seafood

340 East 2nd Street
Austin, TX 78701

(512) 391-1500

Roy's restaurant was first introduced in Honolulu, Hawaii by internationally acclaimed Chef Roy Yamaguchi in 1988, and since that time has become well known through out the world for its exciting and innovative cuisine, cutting-edge wine list, and "aloha" style of service. Based on childhood memories of the feelings and flavors of Hawaii, Roy invested what he refers to as his "Hawaiian Fusion" Cuisine - a tempting combination of exotic flavors and spices mixed with the freshest of local ingredients.

Because Roy's Austin food is the heart of each of our restaurants, our open Exhibition Kitchen is a priority within our interior design that provides a constant flow of energy, which permeates the restaurant."
