My partner and I had dinner at Roy's to celebrate his birthday. They customized his menu, acknowledging his birthday and brought us a great dessert complete with candle. The finale was a photograph that they shot of us and handed us framed at the end of the meal. All of the above was completely complimentary and done without special request.... more

We visited Roy's for early Sat dinner (6:30pm) on a nice June weekend. Sat outside, it was very pleasant and un-crowded. Décor, meh. Nothing to standout or remember - but the street view is great for people-watching. Bathroom is noteworthy; great selection of lotions samples (lint brush!) and other sundries normally available with attendant, without the latter. Place is very... more

Love Pan-Asian cuisine and they do it well here; if it wasn't a chain it would have rated another star. more

My wife's sister who lives in Chicago took us to this restaurant only a few blocks from our hotel. It was a wonderful place. We are usually sceptical of restaurants which attempt to bridge traditions, however we were very happy about this find. more

We go to Roy's all the time at home, so we were confident of a good meal at the State Street location. I ordered a miso sirloin and it was pure gristle and ice cold...I advised the wait staff and then the Manager, who didnt offer to redo it or offer another meal. I ate the side dishes and a... more

Recently stopped at Roys for appetizers and drinks and had a great experience. Sat in the bar and were waited on by Chan. Chan was probably the best bartender we had ever had. The drinks were amazing and the sushi and calamari were delicious. The Hawaiian music and decor brought back great memories from our trip to Hawaii. Will go... more

Delicious!

Dinners were all very flavorful. Prices weren't that bad either. Staff was very attentive. Even the kid's menu was fabulous! Would dine there again. more

If we are in a city that has a Roy's, we always go and are never disappointed. The Chicago location was no exception. The food is extremely flavorful (the lobster pot stickers and pork ribs are fantastic appetizers; the tiger prawns were an excellent entree). The service is friendly and super-efficient. Highly recommended. more

It is a very good chain. My wife thought that it was a good place for a birthday dinner. The service was very good, and very quick. However, we never felt like we were rushed. I would really liked their lobster rolls. more
