Occasion: Diana's Work Holiday Party

Roy’s Canoe Appetizer

Szechwan Baby Back Pork Ribs, Ahi Tuna Poke, Lobster Potstickers, Teppanyaki Shrimp, Tempura Tuna Sushi

We shared this among our half of the table. It was delicious. I love Tuna poke, tartar, whatever you call it. If its raw tuna cut in cubes mixed with deliciousness. I like it. I tried one of the lobster potstickers and they were amazing!!! I think this dish gives a good variety and it seems to only be good for two, not 5. haha.

Lobster California Roll Cucumber Avocado & Tobikko
Very beautifully presented. I thought the rolls were delicious. I love sushi, especially sushi with lobster in it, which made the roll a little less boring. Great blend of colors as well.

Hawaiian Crunch Roll

Tempura Tiger Shrimp, Avocado, Shiso and Curry Aioli
YUMMY! love shrimp tempura, love avocado. It was delicious.

California Roll

Lump Crab, Avocado, Cucumber, Masago, Sesame Seeds

Nothing all that special. Just a plain old california roll to me.

Sunrise at Haleakala

Tuna, Hamachi, Salmon, Avocado & Asparagus Tempura Roll, Togarashi Butter

DELICIOUSNESS! Everything I love in sushi all in one bite. I've actually never had asparagus in sushi before, so i really wanted to try it. I liked the crunch the asparagus gave the sushi. Combination of all my favorite raw fish with my all time favorite avocado all of which could fit in my mouth. Loved it.

Maui Wowie Shrimp Salad

Capers, Sweet Onions, Crumbled Feta Cheese & Caper Lime Emulsion

Very refreshing. I love crumbled feta on anything, well not anything, but it was so good. There were pieces of shrimps and tomatoes, which added the flavor. Great starter before my meal.

ROY’S CLASSIC TRIO

Hawaiian Style Misoyaki Butterfish

Hibachi Grilled Salmon

Roy’s Original Blackened Island Ahi

Hawaiian Style Misoyaki Butterfish
Chinese Style “Sizzling” Soy Vinaigrette
My favorite of the trio. The meat was soft and tender and the soy vinaigrette went perfectly with the fish. Crispy outside with super tender insides. Soy vinaigrette added a bit a sweet tangy flavor to compliment the fish.

Hibachi Grilled Salmon in Japanese Citrus Ponzu
I always eat salmon and I kind of wished it was another fish other than salmon, but to my surprise I enjoyed it. The meat was very tender and the ponzu sauce went well with it. I loved the cucumber slices they had with it, very citrusy to help balance the fishiness of the salmon.

Roy’s Original Blackened Island Ahi in Spicy Soy Mustard Butter

Loved the texture but hated the seasoning that went with ti. I love ahi tuna, but I did not enjoy the spicy soy mustard butter which reminded me of wasabi. I don't know why, but I've noticed that a lot of asian fusion restaurants like to flavor ahi tuna with a hint of wasabi-like flavor. Personally, I hate it! hate, hate hate. I did enjoy the way the fish was cooked, seared on the outside and a bit raw in the inside. yummy.

Grilled Filet Mignon & Seared Black Tiger Shrimp

Gruyere & Scallion Smothered Pee Wee Potatoes, Dungeness Crab Cream
Tried some of diana's entree. Shrimp was ginormous, juicey and full of flavor. Filet mignon cooked medium rare, nice and tender. From the little bit i tried, I thought it was excellent.

Kalua Pork Osso Bucco Kabocha Pumpkin Polenta, Bacon Tossed Brussel Sprouts, Pepita Golden Curry Mole

Tried a piece of this pork shank. The meat was very moist and tender. To my surprise, I actually liked it. Was not too fond of the brussel sprouts though. bleh
