    Food, service, ambience everything will be back again for sure. We come for celebration birthday and never disappointed. Thank you.

    Wagyu beef Sliders with French Fry's

    Roy's was a wonderful place to visit! Top notch customer service and very inviting ambiance. We opted for bar seating to take advantage of Happy Hour specials! They also have a comfortable outdoor patio. The HH menu offered many options, in our group we tried the Old Fashioned, 1988 and Hawaiian MaiTai; all very good, well presented cocktails. Bar service was impeccable! As for the food, most of us got the twin lobster tail special, but one had the Wagyu beef sliders, plus a side of Brussels sprouts. SO delicious!! The lobster tails were cooked to perfection with just enough butter and seasoning to not have to add anything else. The tails were served with rice and Bok Choi, both were equally delicious. We will definitely be returning soon!

    Went to Roy's last night for dinner with the ladies and ordered the Christmas dinner menu. We started with appetizers, including the Szechuan spiced pork ribs, tempura-crusted ahi roll, and lobster bisque, and ordered entrees shortly after. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill quickly. Once seated, it took over an hour for our entrees to arrive after appetizers, which felt excessive given the setting and price point. When the food finally came out, there were major issues. We ordered one filet medium and another medium well, but the staff did not know which plate was which. The New York strip ordered medium well was brought out bloody. Overall, the food quality and execution were extremely disappointing. We tried to calmly express our frustration with both the wait time and the mix-up with the dishes. Instead of addressing the concerns, the manager approached the situation with a poor attitude, removed our plates, and zeroed out the bill without any real discussion. That wasn't what we were asking for or expecting -- we wanted accountability and a better experience, not an abrupt dismissal. At the end of the day, the food was not good, the service recovery was mishandled, and the experience did not justify the time or the cost. I will not return and would not recommend Roy's to others.

    Roy's is one of my favorite restaurants but the service can be hit or miss and the food is pretty much consistently good. Tonight the food and service was perfect. Our waiter, Tanner was very personable and helpful. We ordered a mai tai (very strong), the lobster potstickers, misoyaki butterfish, and Roy's signature chocolate soufflé (my favorite dessert of all time!) and everything was timely and well executed. I can't wait for my next meal at Roy's!

    It was my Birthday dinner at Roy's with my son, daughter-in-law, and husband. It was my first time there and we went early, so we practically had the whole place to ourselves. The little birthday card with plumeria flowers was such a sweet surprise. Great drinks, delicious appetizers, and amazing delicious entrées-everything we ordered was so good. The service was friendly and thoughtful, and they even offered to take photos for us. We finished the night with birthday dessert a rich chocolate mousse-perfect ending. Honestly, the best part was celebrating with family. So grateful for a wonderful evening and a great birthday

    We have been to a few Roy's locations in Hawaii and US, I think this location has the best service and cook. We came here on Thanksgiving Day without a reservation, was told that they were fully booked but the bar area was available. No problem, we love the bar area. Since we had our daughter with us, we sat on one of the high-top tables. The service from the bartenders/servers were excellent; they were friendly, patient and attentive. We order a bottle of wine, the turkey dinner and sea bass, followed by a pumpkin cake. Turkey was tender and easy for our daughter to chew, the veggies that it came with also tasty and she finished the whole plate. Sea bass was cooked to perfection, but greens it came with was too salty for our taste (didn't finish). Wine selection was good; they made sure our glasses were filled. The reason why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars was because of the service from the hostesses. We had been here a few times and one time I felt they were a little rude towards us (made us wait and no smile). Overall, good experience and would still come back for more (hopefully for better service from the hostesses stand).

    I haven't been to a Roy's in like over 10 years, I think the closest one to me closed down. In any case I ended up here with my old friend from college who is visiting town and staying in this area. We came from another event so we were already full but she and I needed to catch up by ourselves so we went here. The place is typical of any Roy's restaurant - high ceilings no and spacious dining area. We were here for apps and drinks. Our server was lovely and I wish I remembered her name but she was really friendly and attentive. My mojito is good and not watered down. The poke with the wonton chips are my favorite. Very light and fresh. The potstickers are good as well but between the 2 I still prefer the poke. Great place is you're in the area to sit and chat with friends/ family.

    Simple, this place rocked my taste buds. Ordered the crispy chicken rolls-an upgraded version of eggrolls with sweet chilli. Then I tried their classic four- Hibachi Grilled Atlantic Salmon, Misoyaki Butterfish, Blackened Island Ahi, and a Roasted Macadamia Nut Crusted Fresh Fish of the Day. My husband got the braised beef with salad and both were rich in flavor. Upscale plating and excellent service. Smiles all around!

    Came to celebrate Hubby's early birthday! Food and service were great! And steak was cooked perfectly!!

    Their decor was nice, the majority of what we ordered tasted fine, but the steak was salty. I passed by the restaurant twice and had to uturn, although their entrance was facing the road I was on. Having the display of the restaurant name stand out wouldn't be a bad idea. It was also a little crowded there; tables were a little too close together. Not an ideal place for relaxation and good conversation. The service was good. Our waitress was polite and thoughtful.

    Came here for a graduation party and I thought the food was good. I would say the best part of the 3 courses was the salad as the sauce blended really well with the veggies. The Ahi tuna dish was alright. I wish it was a bigger portion though because I felt like I finished it in less than 10 minutes. I thought the sauce that came with the dish tasted really good with the tuna. As for dessert, I felt that it was a good balance of tart and sweet. The sauce that was under the cake tasted delicious as well. As for service, we did have to wait a while for our food to come out, but I believe they were just waiting for everyone to finish and clear bowls before they went on to the next course. The atmosphere was nice and I loved that we had a little private area to dine and chat.

    Spring rolls
    Sara O.

    Pleasant dining experience. From the beginning the staff offered to store our stroller while we dined. This allowed us to store our belongings and to sit comfortably in the booth. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout. We immediately notified them we were there for the happy hour and their demeanor didn't change. I felt well taken care of and the staff repeatedly check in on us. We ordered the sushi roll, sliders, spring rolls and kids meals. We also ordered several rounds of drinks. The only suggestion is to offer beer on draft instead of in a can. As for the ambiance, the restaurant is very nice fine dining.

    Lobster and filet.
    Vanessa G.

    I'm surprised I have never reviewed this place, since its one of my faves and I have been coming here for years. This is a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion or just a fun date. The cocktails are better than anyone in the area. The martinis are fantastic as are the mai tais. The happy hour is amazing and I also love the prix fix meals. Service is always wonderful. This is a dining experience that is different than your average steak and seafood restaurant, because it has an island flair. My fave is the butter fish with short ribs surf and turf meal. You get the best of both worlds! I truly love this place!!

    Looks like they are sold online through bed bath and beyond, but both colors looks to be out of stock. Try eBay

    Anyone know what their vegan options are?

    Are they reopened for outdoor dining or takeout - website says they are still closed? But They have a carry out menu on their website but menu link doesn't work?

    Restaurant is open. Indoor and outdoor dining!

    Does anyone know why I was charged a separate COVID-19 tax on my Roy's bill? Has anyone else ever seen this?

    Since Mid-May, some restaurants are adding a COVID 19 surcharge related to the extra steps they take to comply with the ever evolving rules about staying open-or not. It is seen mostly in California, Illinois, and Michigan.

    Is there happy hour available again during Covid 19?

    They are doing half off wine bottles from the cellar during this time, you must ask for the list. Not sure how long it will last, but is was a great deal!

    What is the parking situation ? Valet, private lot or street parking?

    There is a parking structure, next door, with intermittent valet.

    How do I make reservation for 2 ? I only see bookings for large parties.

    You should be able to do it through Open Table. If not, call it in.

    What time is their saturday aloha hour?

    I believe its 4 p.m - 7 p.m However I would suggest calling the restaurant directly to confirm.

    Is it ok to bring two toddlers here during the aloha hour?

    Sona Fusion Kitchen!…read more Located in a shopping plaza that both has businesses that have been there for ages, but has more switch over businesses. Currently I have seen the restaurants that pop up in this location, ive seen it at least 6 different things. I will say Sona is the first one that actually caught my eye to try, and I am super happy that I decided to come here during my lunch break. The pictures I uploaded are just the few other times I have come here. As someone said it best in one of the reviews, a Vox dupe. One thing they do have over Vox kitchen, most times there is no wait, at least the few times I have gone. There is plenty of parking, never had an issue. They are also open late which to get this kind of food at that late or early times, thats a damn treat! Inside always kept clean, the staff that work there are very friendly and on top of things. They checked up on us in a timely matter, cleaned tables as soon as diners left. The food came out pretty quickly too. Here is what I have had: Spicy Shrimp Wontons - These were good but I felt like they could have been better, mind you I had these not too long after they opened, seeing recent reviews it seems like this could have gotten better, I will try these again and update. Regardless they were still good! Lomo Saltado Shaken Fries: Each time I have gotten them has been the filet mignon, why because each time I have had them it has been too good, cooked perfectly for a nice texture, seasoned well that it doesnt over power other things, but more so compliments but uppercuts the tonsil to let you know its got beef with you. Now I have had this with rice and garlic noodles. I recommend going garlic noodles because they are delicious, lots of garlic! You know what compliments garlic very well....STEAK! I have said one thing Vox has on them with this dish, is Vox french fries are still super crispy even with sauce on them. I will say the last time I ordered this dish (last week) each time they have gotten better with the crunch! I will try the other proteins offered in due time! Golden Pear Salad: Delicious! Now I can't tell you if there serving size of this salad is bigger at Vox, but eating the salad totally made me forget about it. I am half lactose...my stomach decides what or when I will react to dairy, but that burrata cheese mixed with everything in the salad, it needs that creamy cheese to hold the sweetness and pepper like from the arugula. I will say I didn't dodge the burrata cheese and luckily it never got me, so huge win win! I also want to say I think its cheaper here than the vox, so its more manageable to always have this to start before the entrees. Signature Vietnamese Pho - Wife ordered this last visit with wagyu brisket, pretty solid bowl of pho. Is it my favorite no, but its better than a lot of others places I have been too. I think it will easily be a hit for tourists going to disneyland that has never tried Pho. In conclusion, Sona Fusion Kitchen has been a place that myself and the wife will crave. It also has been a easy recommendation for any one at work to go try. I know I have a few co-workers that have been multiple times now. For anyone at Disneyland looking for a place to eat, come through! I want all the business to support Sona but at the same time I enjoy not having to wait to be seated! Feast Well Fellow Yelpers!

At first I thought it was a Vietnamese restaurant, but it turned out to be more of an Asian fusion place with a little bit of everything. It was super busy, so we had to wait a bit for a table.

One of the draws of eating here are the colorful lit lanterns in the evening. However, we ended dining here in the late afternoon while it was still light out. The inside of the restaurant was pretty much empty and it was a nice day, so we dined out on the patio. Even in the daytime, the colorful lanterns are cool to look at and there is a park area right next to the restaurant. The patio is wide open and completely in the shade. This was a late lunch/early dinner for us, so we just ordered a few different items off the menu to share. Their small sushi menu only has four different rolls and they were out of two of them, so we just had a California roll which was fine. The only sushi protein available is shrimp or krab so I definitely wouldn't recommend them for sushi. We also had an order of the chicken egg rolls. They had a good crisp on them, and the serving size was generous and very filling. The sweet chili dipping sauce had a good mix of sweetness with a little heat. They tasted fine, but it seemed like they were pre-made and lacked a little freshness. Finally, we tried an order of the spicy shrimp wontons off the dim sum menu. It comes with ten wontons, and the shrimp were good but the wontons were a little mushy. They had a nice heat that slowly creeps up on you after a few seconds. Service started out ok as we were able to place our order within ten minutes, but it then got progressively slower. I think there were only two other occupied tables and our three items took almost 25 minutes to come out. After the food arrived, we didn't see a server again for quite a while. Final rating 3.6 stars. These are the times I wish Yelp let you use half points because this experience was right in between 3 and 4 stars. I guess I'll round up to four stars for the relaxing patio and ambiance which is probably even better after dark.

Saltado with Filet Mignon and Garlic Noodles were very delicious, especially the chewy and soft noodles. The meat is very tender, the fries ok, a bit overcooked. Great place for family sharing. The Saltado is $25 and a big portion.

Best of all the World Cup was playing so as you get to enjoy the food, we were able to also watch the game. Will be back !

    I've ordered from this restaurant on DoorDash quite a few times, but this was my first time dining…read morein. I noticed the sign advertising their "Famous Garlic Noodles," so I figured I had to give them a try. I ordered the Lomo Saltado with Garlic Noodles. The noodles were good overall, although they were a little dry. I would've loved a bit more of a buttery, garlicky sauce to coat them. The filet was tender, and the fries were cooked well. I asked if they could make the fries extra crispy, and they happily accommodated, which was a plus. We also ordered the Steak and Eggs with Bread, and that was another solid dish. The filet mignon was tender and tasted very similar to the steak served with the Lomo Saltado. My only real complaint was the temperature inside the restaurant. It felt like the air conditioning wasn't on, and there was only a single floor fan circulating the air. It wasn't enough to keep the dining room comfortable, and I found myself getting pretty sweaty while eating. Overall, the food was enjoyable, and I'd come back. Hopefully next time the dining room will be a little cooler so the experience is just as enjoyable as the meal.

    I had such a great experience at INI Ristorante in Fountain Valley. From the cocktails to the food,…read moredessert, service, and overall atmosphere, everything felt thoughtfully put together and well-balanced. We started with the Amber and Bramble cocktail, it was really well-balanced in flavor. The cocktail stood out to me because of the perfect amount of smokiness. It added a really nice depth without overpowering the drink. For our first dish, we ordered the Beef Carpaccio, and it was delicious. The beef had such a delicate texture, and the flavors worked really well together. One of my favorite details was the apple included with the dish. It added the perfect little crunch and a touch of freshness that balanced the richness of the carpaccio. Nothing felt overwhelming, and every component had a purpose. Next came the Seafood Poke Pizza, which I have to admit we were a little skeptical about at first because it's not something you see every day. But it completely surprised us in the best way. Everything placed on top worked so well together, and the seafood was flavorful and fresh. What really stood out was the pizza bread itself. It had that perfect combination of buttery and savory flavors, with a texture that made the entire dish even better. For the pasta, we ordered the Duck Ragu, and this was probably one of my favorite dishes of the night. The first bite instantly made me understand why this dish stands out. The duck ragu was rich and flavorful without feeling too heavy. It was also topped with arugula, which I enjoyed because it added that perfect peppery taste along with a fresh, slightly crunchy green element. To end the night, we were treated to a complimentary Chocolate Hazelnut Cake with praline mousse, cereal rocher, and hazelnut. It was such a nice surprise and a great way to finish the meal. The combination of chocolate and hazelnut was rich without being too much, and the different textures from the mousse and cereal rocher made every bite interesting. It was the perfect ending to an already great dinner. The staff was also very helpful, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit.

    Was super excited to try ini's new innovative dishes so we ordered all 3! We got the mala lamb, cod…read moreroe pasta, and duck ragu. My favorite was definitely the duck ragu. It was well priced with heavy chunks of duck. I wish it was a little more saucy though. It reminded me of Chinese roast duck flavors in a pasta. The mala lamb wasn't very mala even with the mala honey but it was very yummy. The lamb was ground and soft so it didn't really have a bite to it and there was some kind of white sauce at the bottom of the pizza which wasn't cream but almost like the white sauce in Mediterranean lamb platters. The cod roe pasta didn't have very strong crab flavor but it was super creamy with the cheese on top and the flavors were light and delicate. My only complaint was the smaller portion. Highly recommend trying the duck ragu! It had hints of sweetness and a nice flavor of duck if you like duck. All the dishes were also around 20-25 dollars which is extremely well priced especially the pizza. Service and ambiance is also always top tier here.
