Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Restaurant Representing Orlando's Finest

Roy's Restaurant- Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine in Orlando, FL

Dish:  Beef Short Rib Tacos

Critique: FANTABULOUS! Yes, we are fans and these tacos were fabulous!  To be quite honest, we didn’t know how to pronounce half of the Korean flavors contained within these tacos.  But who cares? Tacos included kim chee vegetables and ko chu jang..yea, how you doing chu jang?  These flavors were indescribable and unforgettable.  Roy’s Beef Short Ribs Tacos will be forever remembered as “Lil Tackies from Heaven.”

                                                                            Score:  4 out of 4 Hotties!


Dish:  Tempura Crusted Spicy Ahi Roll

Critique:  These were inhaled in two-seconds flat.  We never had miso butter sauce with sushi before, but who cares?  We loved it.  Matter of fact, going forward we demand all sushi rolls be served with miso butter sauce instead of soy sauce.

Score:  3 out of 4 Hotties!


Dish:  Crunchy Golden Lobster Pot Stickers

Critique:  Though small, these little lobster delectables are packed with scrumptious flavor.  Served with our favorite miso butter sauce and something different- a spicy tagaroshi sauce.   What a challenge to make a pot sticker exciting, yet Roy’s managed to do so.  Truly good food all around, we ate every single bite including the garnishes!

Score: 3 out of 4 Hotties!




Dish:  Wagyu Beef Sliders

Critique:  Yep, we definitely needed more than one slider per plate.  Topped with caramelized onions and chipotle aioli, juicy upon juicy-should be the new name of this slider.  Sweetly finished her burger in one bite while The Hotness took her time and savored each bite- there’s no shame in our game.  And the garlic sweet potato fries…SHAZAM!

Score: 4 out of 4 Hotties!




Dish:  Smoked Mahi Mahi Tacos

Critique:  As you can see, Sweetly and The Hotness tried to order everything off Roy’s menu- boy did we come close!  The Mahi Mahi tacos were our least favorite dish.  Tacos were capped with crispy taro and jalapeño herb puree, we thought the Mahi Mahi could have used an intense marinade to give it a kick.

Score: 2 ½ out of 4 Hotties!



Dish:  Warm Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Critique:  “And we can’t stop and we won’t stop…” This dessert should have a disclaimer: Will Cause Extreme Jubilation!  Although we were quite full, we could not stop ourselves from spooning each bite into our mouth over and over.  Loved, loved, loved it!  Happy 2014!

Score: 4 out of 4 Hotties!
