Beach House by Roy Yamaguchi

Played the tourist thing and fought the awesomely-timed Haleiwa junction construction to check out old Turtle Bay, which I probably haven’t been to in 40 years, if not ever. We chose Beach House by Roy’s and it was an awesome experience. Workers are all outstanding and the restaurant itself is super chill. Outdoors, but cool, breezy, and shady. Wife had a signature martini which was awesome. Our party ordered the garlic shrimp, steak, and Korean chicken, burger, and lobster Mac and cheese. Everyone loved their meals. I probably won’t come out here too often just because I live on the exact other side of the island from this place, but if I was headed up north shore and wanted a classy local-style restaurant with great service, this is the place.

Beautiful atmosphere…cool breezes while watching the waves crash. Amazing! Great mai tai and good wine list. The iniki sushi roll will blow your mind. So fresh and delicious!!! The goat cheese “sweet land farm” dip was savory and had a truffle undertone. Really yummy. And the Chilean sea bass was good, not the best I’ve ever had, but very tasty. Overall a great experience!

The Roy Yamaguchi Beach House Restaurant is superb in every way. The food and experience here is at a high level. Service is welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. We started with the “Sweet Land Farm” Dip. It’s warm goat cheese, and mango chutney with honey sweet rolls. It is to die for! Absolutely wonderful. My wife and I also had the Chilean Seas Bass lobster fried rice, pea greens, and garlic black pepper. The fish was done perfectly and it was a delicious entree. For dessert we had Caramelized Pineapple Butter Rum Cake with caramel foster sauce, and vanilla bean ice cream. The overall dining experience is at the highest level and strongly recommend it.

Food was very flavorful! We were a large party and made a reservation. Service was great but sometimes felt rushed and then other times I couldn’t find the server. Drinks were delicious! Photos are of the Pre Fixe menu which we highly recommend!

Great service and perfect location, with a beach view. Reservations are highly recommended but they do take in walk in. You can sit at the bar without a reservation. We waited 20min for a table but had a great view so no complaints. We ride was top notch they cater for allergies especially nuts. We did everything seafood. Sashimi trio with tuna, salmon and nigiri. Sushi options were so good as well. Ahi rolls came in this sauce which was so yum. Seared ahi came in a bed of cauliflower and greens which was yum. So flavorful and feeling. Great wine options by the glass or bottle. Nothing disappointed here we were too full for dessert but the chocolate Lava cake on the table next to us looked yummy.

Casual atmosphere, broad range of yummy food, good service, amazing art by local artists (for sale) and perfect sunset views. Menu seems to change every few months but our favorites included the clam chowder, Thai curry, the Beach House calamari and the macadamia nut encrusted mahimahi. After a long day hanging out on the North Shore, The Beach House is a wonderful spot to unwind and get pampered with yummy food and strong & tasty cocktails… and you may catch the emerald flash while you dine. 😊

Beach house is a very good restaurant there is a large selection of options with some Asian twist in some food. The Hamburger was prepared wonderfully and the French fries were cooked excellently, the shrimp ceviche was excellent with a soy glaze and guacamole. The lobster roll is cooked very well. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The Beach House in Turtle Bay is a gem! I especially loved their North Shore Harvest Salad,it is fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. The drinks collection is just as impressive, offering something for every taste. A perfect spot to relax, enjoy the view, and savor great food and beverages.

Food was delicious. Definitely was nice coming here in the evening. Food delicious. Staff was very friendly. I really liked the ice cream

This is one of my favorite restaurants! After all these years, it still hasn't disappointed me! Last night we had dinner here and there's so many good options but I had to make a choice. My children ordered off the kids menu because they wanted appetizers and dessert. Pupus we had tobanyaki and brussel sprouts. Both were delicious and a great way to start our dinner. Entrees we had a kids seared salmon with veggies, plain but that's how my kid likes her salmon. The other one ordered short ribs... didn't need a knife to cut it and very little fat which was perfect for her. I ordered the pre fixe meal and got an amuse which was a nice sweet and salty bite (literally one bite), ahi tartare which was fresh ahi with a nice sauce and crispy rice paper and misoyaki cod (I always tend to eat this when I come here) which was very flaky and taste was perfect. Dessert we always order the chocolate soufflé... best I've ever had! We also tried the crepe a la cake which is very unique cake but not sweet at all. We have sweet tooth's so it wasn't for us, but the way this cake looks made, a lot went into it and it's very unique! Service is always on point here! Our waitress was very nice and attentive! She even brought us the dessert menu before our entrees came out cause some of them take time to make. Water was always filled and never got empty. Plates were promptly taken away when we were done to get ready for our next dish. This is a must try and must go if you're on this side of the island!

Had the delicious Thai curry & comfort-food-overdose rib. Great views and service. why does a review require 85 characters

We first came here in 2015 for our rehearsal dinner... back then it was Ola's. We returned in 2017, when it had just been taken over by Roy Yamaguchi. Now we are finally back in 2025! Still run by Roy and it shows. For example they have his classic martini with Maui Gold pineapples which we have had at Roy's across the country. Tonight we had the prix fixe menu; Pre-Amuse Classic edamame with the spicy seasoning -a Roy's classic Amuse Crispy Eggplant Parmesean -Miso Marinara -this was delightful! First Course (Choice of one - we each ordered one and tried both) Duroc Pork Belly -Kuro Tare, Inamona, Chimichuri -I would have preferred this a bit crispier but the flavor was great Crispy Brie -Bacon Jalepeno Jam, Baguette 6oz. Selbach -phenomenal! The jam was the star. Entree Grilled Split Lobster Saffron Cous Cous Rissotto -generous portions and grilled perfectly Dessert They allow substitutions, so we got: Molten Chocolate Cake -held the Raspberry Coulis, came with Vanilla Ice Cream -fantastic Caramelized Pineapple Butter Rum Cake -Caramel Foster, Vanilla Ice Cream -a perfectly balanced dessert

This place is the bomb!!! Food is always amazing and absolutely delicious. The ambiance is great as it's right on the beach. Drinks are super yummy and the pineapple cake is one of my favorite desserts of all time - it is a must try. Our server Karly was SO AWESOME, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations!! When on the North Shore this is a must try!

We embarrassingly didn't realize this restaurant is on the same property as Ritz Carlton. Parking is tough and you may have to do loops but you will get lucky! Valet is also an option. We made a reservation for lunch and got a wonderful seat with an ocean view. The menu has a variety of fresh seafood options as well as American dishes. Big fan of the crab+lobster role, Cesar salad and the hula fries. The drink selection was also fantastic!! We didn't have the best server- inattentive and didn't guide us well but would def give it another shot. Perfect for a nice meal!

The location right on Turtle Bay Beach cannot be beat. From our seats at the bar: clear and amazing view of cerulean blue waters and crashing waves. Burrata and Beet salad hit all the right notes! The cheese was appropriately gooey, the crostini was very crisp and held the beet hummus dip, while the greens were crispy and crunchy. Calamari came late and cold. But the Beef Teppinyaki was a truly outstanding replacement: sizzling, perfectly med/rare as ordered, with baby mushrooms, with rice was so superb, it's hard to describe the perfection it was to eat that beef. Friendly bar customers, attentive bartenders, I'll be back on my next trip out.

We enjoyed Beach House so much we went 2 days in a row for lunch! Their service was excellent, food delicious, beautiful location, and amazing cocktails. What more could we ask for? Bonus for us that Beach House was also kid friendly. Their kids' meal was the best I've ever seen - starting out with a quesadilla and salad appetizer, then a nice main course (my son had the salmon and vegetables), and ending with a chocolate chip cookie and ice cream. Overall, highly recommend if you are in the area!

Located on the beach at Ritz Carlton Turtle Bay. Even if your not staying at the resort, the beach has public access. Here you can find good food and drinks right on the sand. Convenient and delicious before, after, or during a day on the beach.

Everything was amazing. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton for the weekend and had lunch and dinner here on the same day. For lunch, we had the crispy brussel sprouts, karikari roll, beach house burger, lobster & crab roll and the crepe cake. Everything was really good. We came back for dinner that night and had the crispy calamari, iniki roll, chilean sea bass, and crispy 50th state chicken. We inhaled our appetizers. We particularly liked the iniki roll, which had inari, nori and uni with spicy ahi on top. So goood! The sea bass was amazing and the chicken was so good. I've had their 50th state chicken at eating house, which is similar, but this was significantly better in my opinion. Amelia, who served us, was also super friendly and we just enjoyed our dining experience with her. We were given two complimentary chantilly cakes (i think) for celebrating a birthday and anniversary and it was so fricking good. We also ordered the chocolate cheesecake to go and ate that the next day. I would definitely come back here!

My boyfriend, my daughter, her friend and myself came here to chill out. My boyfriend and I just wanted drinks while my daughter's friend was hungry so we fed her. My daughter had the appetizer pictured. She loved the cheese quesadilla. I decided on the POG drink because it was fruity. I was just thirsty and I had water to drink as well to hydrate. So good on a hot day. Service here was excellent even though the waitress splashed water on my face. I ended up laughing about it because it was funny.. They guy serving us was nice and explained the special to us. Seating is outdoors and restrooms are located to the right side of the entrance. Highly recommend if you are visiting.

The cod and short ribs stood out to me here! Lobster mac wasn't anything special. We all got the sunset gin drink that I thoroughly enjoyed. Server was really kind and genuine. They brought a cute dessert out for my bday and we enjoyed the upper end but laid back environment. Really good experience!

We waited 25 min to be seated even though came in time for our reservation. I think that is unacceptable. Our server was great, and the food was mostly good except sushi that was terrible.

An open-air fine dining restaurant on the beach. We saw lots of warnings online to make reservations but we also saw a walk in welcome sign while exploring the cove side of Turtle Bay and decided to give it a shot since the only reservation times left were too late for us. We were told our wait would be a 35-40 minute wait but it seemed more like 20-25 minutes. There was a decent amount of seating out front, which is the far side from the beach. The entire restaurant is open air. There's a roof and some fans, but it does get warm when there's not a good breeze, the more so the further away you are from the beach. There was also a bar with first come, first serve high top tables and a waterfront view. Service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and helpful. There was a decent list of specialty cocktails but we stuck with our standard, a white Russian and an old fashion. We started off with the crispy Brussels. We're actually Brussels fans already and these were some of the best we've ever had! I don't think we've ever devoured a pile of Brussels sprouts like that before. Delicious! I actually wish the appetizer had been smaller or could be ordered as a side instead - since clearly self-control was not an option here - because we weren't exactly hungry when the entrees arrived. But yet again, we were presented with more plates of deliciousness. The short ribs were juicy and tender. My husband loved his trio, although he was too busy enjoying his dinner, despite being full, to fill me in in any details.

We just got back from an awesome trip to Oahu which included 4 nights at the Turtle Bay. We have been going to Roy's for many years in both Hawaii and San Diego and decided to give the Beach House a shot. The view and location is something out of a postcard and truly remarkable. We started off with a reservation of 6 and then added 2 more for a party of 8 at 5 pm. The food was good, portions were very small ( we all had to eat again prior to going to bed ) and the meal was extremely expensive. I got stuck with the bill and it was $850 ( 2 kids and 1 vegetarian ). After the meal , we took some photos and had one last drink. About 5 minutes after the drinks came, one of the staff members said " alright guys , time to go ". We said we will leave in about 15 minutes and they said we have been there for 2.5 hours and they have a 2 hour limit. This was never disclosed when we made the reservation and they made it sound like they were doing us a favor ( after closing out an $850 check ). So we left a lot of expensive drinks on the table and left. The next day on my way to the beach, I stopped in and let the manager know what happened and you could tell he wasn't having any of it. Seemed pretty insincere. I recommend going to this place for drinks and an app after a good snorkeling session at Turtle Bay. For dinner, I recommend the pool bar/ restaurant which was awesome.

The ambiance is incredible! The open air seating and the view of the beach/ocean are picture perfect. All of the employees were great. They were very friendly and took care of our every need. We celebrated an anniversary with them, and they did a great job of celebrating us with an artistic dessert. We stayed at the Turtle Bay Villas, so it was nice to just walk over on the property. The food was good, but it was very pricey. I would give high ratings in every category except value for that reason. If you can afford the high prices, it is a great experience! If you need your dollar to stretch a bit further, you may want to go somewhere off property. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience.

A reservation is definitely a must here, we made one and even though we showed up a little early, we still had to wait a bit. They ended up seating us earlier than our actual time, so it worked out. We tried the lobster and crab mac & cheese and the twice-cooked St. Louis-style ribs... honestly, both were a little underwhelming. The flavors just didn't hit the way we expected. BUT the banzai surf and turf maki? So good. The beach house trio was also a win, and the pineapple rum cake was ono! Super flavorful and the perfect way to end the meal. If we come back, we'll definitely stick to the sushi and dessert.

Great food and beautiful setting! My family of four (including two kids) went for dinner. For drinks, we had a Mai tai (not very good) and Beach House Paloma (delicious). For appetizer, the calamari (very good). They also bring cheese quesadillas with greens for kids, free of charge. For entrees, we got the Filet mignon (fantastic), sea bass (fantastic), lobster Mac and cheese (okay, not much lobster), and sizzling beef tobonyaki (okay). For dessert, we had the molten chocolate cake (very bland) and tutti fruiti cheesecake (delicious). Plan for about 2 hours and $100+ per person if you do drinks, apps, entrees, and dessert. Suggest making a reservation.

We decided to try Beach House due to its location and menu. I couldn't have been happier with our experience. We were seated quickly. When we checked in, the hostess asked how many children's menus we would need. We asked for one. Shortly after being seated, we were brought a cheese quesadilla with a side salad and sauce. I thought this was a mistake due to the fact that we were just seated, but it turns out that the restaurant immediately brings out an appetizer for children's menus, which is genius! We ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and brussels sprouts as an appetizer. I had read reviews that the lobster mac & cheese was amazing. While it was very, very good, the brussels sprouts were the star of the two. They offered the perfect balance of tangy, salty, and hearty. For our entrees, we ordered the trio, filet, and catch of the day. The scallops and the trio melted in your mouth. The fillet was good, but not the best I've ever had. My son ordered the catch up the day, he was the only one at the table not to share his meal... Because he loved it so much. I ordered the signature martini with my meal. It was so good. My husband tried the old-fashioned and loved it as well. For dessert, we tried the pineapple upside down cake and chocolate lava cake. We loved both. I am normally a chocolate lover, but the pineapple upside down cake was to die for! Our kids love the chocolate lava cake! Our server was Lynn. He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He told us about each of our dishes and answered all the questions we had. You can tell that he loves what he does. We were seated on the exterior patio overlooking the ocean. It was absolutely beautiful. Overall, this was a wonderful fine dining experience with a casual vibe!

Super slow service but the waiter was very nice and apologetic. Burger was pre pressed and not that great unfortunately. The shrimp tacos had only two medium grilled shrimp. Slightly weak on the taco. We recommend at least one more shrimp for each taco. The drinks were delicious! The ambiance is relaxing and breezy. I'd like to come back and try other items on the menu.

Although the service was excellent, the food left me wanting. [Ambiance] The restaurant is located by the beach. I went after sunset so I didn't get the fullest experience, but it was still very lovely. The restaurant's look itself was kept simple, but the location makes it something special. Great for families, friends and dates. [Service] Brooke was an amazing server. Friendly, quick and proactive. The hostesses up front were also very nice. I called last minute to set up a reservation and they made it work. They asked me if my boyfriend and I were celebrating anything special. They noted we were celebrating our anniversary, but nothing really came of it. I understand some people get a free dessert. We don't get anything but we didn't feel entitled to it either. [Food] I ordered the herb marinated fresh catch and my boyfriend ordered the crispy 50th state chicken. Portions are generous. The food itself was good, but didn't suit my palate. It tasted a bit too bitter heavy for me. The drinks were great and the desserts looked delicious. If you like this type of cuisine, it's worth a try! The food was just not right for me, and the prices are on the higher end.

Located in turtle bay, parking is limited and difficult to find. Restaurant is next to Ritz Carlton. Ambiance is great. Came for lunch. They had live music. We Got a table by the ocean, able to see the big waves. Our waiter Joe told us they saw whale sightings earlier. We ordered scallops, rustic spiced ahi tataki, beef burger. The first batch of scallops were overcooked, our waiter got us a new one. The scallops were delicious, paired with passion fruit sauce and purple sweet potato. Perfect balance of sweet, citrus, sour and savoury. The burger was well done (we asked for medium) , the burger filling included bacon. Nothing special. The fries were good. The ahi takaki was a rip off. Do not order it. The portion size was small, a little over seared, sauce was not that great pairing. Mac nut tart for dessert. Highly recommend. Especially if you like pecan tarts. Overall 2 out of 4 dishes were good.

While staying O'ahu, it is a must to go visit the North Shore and bask in all the unique offerings that this side of the island has. On our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center, we stopped by Turtle Bay Resort to check out the beach. To our surprise there was a small restaurant and bar right up on the shore where decided to relax for a spell for some drinks and some snacks. Getting there: The drive was easy, but a bit long since we were commuting from Waikiki. Luckily we were there earlier in the day so we got to beat a lot of the traffic. Parking wasn't easy as the resort offers only so many general parking spots, we had to scour and go in circles for a bit. The food & drinks: First I ordered a paloma as that is one of my signature drinks out in Cali. Super tasty and refreshing! Then I ordered the Hurricane Fries with Kalua Pork thanks from a friendly tip from our waiter who said the fries here are the best ever! He wasn't wrong, they were so crispy and thicker than average but not too thick. Also with all the toppings, the fries held up strong and were not soggy at all. I also told him I was visiting from my Graduation celebration and received a complimentary scoop of ice cream with 'ho'maika'i ana' written in chocolate (means congratulations!) Such a sweet gesture that made my visit feel so worthwhile.

We came here on a whim while on vacation. Valentines Day. We didn't have a reservation, didn't want to see people, were tired and hungry, etc. We called, and they were willing to sneak us in. Holy Freaking Batman were we stupendously blessed! You could talk about anything...the ambiance was absolutely perfect. The service was exemplary. The waiter was knowledgeable, helpful, gracious, understanding...just like being a friend's house who wants to make you happy. But the food...the food was absolutely fantastic. There aren't enough words to describe how excellent the food was. Everything was amazing. At our party of four, we all ordered different things, and it was a little hard to have conversations as we were all making yummy sounds. The flavors were simple yet complex. Intense yet subtle. Everything was prepared just right. Perfectly. And we ate everything...we spent several hours there as they were closing and the food and service were perfect. The desert was flat-out amazing. We were stuffed, but we still put it away. The pineapple upside down cake was simply stupendous. I've been thinking about it all day...it was magical, lovely, fantastic, all the words. The lava cake was stupendously awesome. We kept trying to share our different dishes with each other, and they were all magical. I only managed to take one picture because the food in my mouth was sending me heavenward. Roy Yamaguchi should be held up as a standard for a 1st class meal experience on Oahu. It was special, magical, wonderful...absolutely amazing.

We have eaten at Roy's all over Hawaii and mainland locations multiple times and always love the Butterfish! Beach House's prep of the butterfish is a bit different but the fish was still flaky and buttery as I expected. The cold veggies and wild rice on the side were ok but I missed the bok choy and black rice that I have had in the past with this dish. The server was helpful and friendly. The pineapple upside down cake was amazing as always, while the chocolate lava was especially lava-esque (very runny in middle) though tasty with the raspberry sauce! We enjoyed our meal but have had better Roy's experiences in the past.

Let's just start with the vibes ... the vibes here are fantastic, beach side resort with warm winds 10/10. As for the service, also amazing and attentive! Shoutout to Joe and Peyton. 10/10 For the food, this is where things really go downhill. We had high expectations since a coworker recommended any restaurant by Roy in general, as he is a renowned restaurateur and chef. The menu looked okay and very standard "fancy" restaurant dishes. We ended up with the calamari, yuzu roll, and twice cooked ribs as appetizers. Everything had so much potential because the textures were good but was all overly salted. We then had the short rib (for a recipe over 60+ years old), it tasted at best like airplane food. We also ordered the black cod for another entree. While the portions were good on the cod (best we have ever seen as a nice restaurant), the pumpkin puree and the wasabi juices... just didn't go together. Every bite of the fish was like drinking straight sake. When it was time for dessert to arrive (which you have to preorder as it takes 30 minutes to make), we sadly were thinking "oh no, we have to keep eating." To top it off, we ordered the pineapple cake and the coconut chocolate cake, both were overly sweet and had no flavor balance. The pineapple and coconut were both overwhelming. This is what I would expect at a ball park or bowling alley, but with the prices of a high end restaurant (we paid more than we do in SF for $$$ places). Safe to say, if Chef Roy ever tasted this food on a surprise visit, I don't think he would be proud of his legacy. It's a really great place to celebrate events and have a nice drink, but I would avoid their food unless u want to be a bloated salt balloon.

Pleasantly surprised. First, the resort itself and its transformation has been amazing to see, and this Beach House spot is the perfect addition. We came here for lunch last weekend (before they transition to bar bites at 2:30pm) and immediately the staff had me smiling. Great, accommodating hostesses, and a lovely older woman who took us to our table was so incredibly sweet learning that I'm here visiting my parents and wanting to take them to lunch...seated us at a lovely table with a view. Seating is all open-air right by the beach- gorgeous. Our server and busser were full of bubbly energy. At first we were thinking no way can they be THIS nice and happy? But truly they were, and full of energy throughout our entire meal. Food was ono...for the 3 of us we got the edamame guacamole and lobster mac and cheese to start followed by burger, lobster salad sandwich, and fish tacos. I'd say only the tacos were a subpar but she did tell us because it's battered SWORDFISH (vs. cod, etc.) it would be a bit more firm. That it was (and dry), but the other dishes made up for it. A nice treat at the end was discovering their chocolate macadamia tart which was sweet decadence I haven't tasted in a very long time. That and the rainbow sherbert I ordered on a whim came out as a HAWAIIAN rainbow sherbert (I tasted guava, dragonfruit, mango, and lychee) which was a joyous surprise. She had rattled off dessert choices verbally vs. menu given it was lunchtime so I hadn't anticipated the details of these sweet treats. Cocktails were good- somewhat lacking in presentation given the setting and price, but still glad I got to sample the signature martini and the Kuilima Sunset which was very (fresh) grapefruit-forward. Overall experience was very yummy and most of all, just smile-inducing. Most definitely will be coming back.

Beach House By Roy Yamaguchi Overall: ***** Highly Recommended ***** Food: ***** Value: *** Menu: *** Ambiance: ***** Service: **** Parking: **** (valet or self parking) If you're on the North Shore of Oahu, and looking for an excellent restaurant for lunch, or dinner, with a beautiful ocean view, I'd highly recommend the Beach House by Roy Yamaguchi, located at the Turtle Bay Hotel. Roy's Restaurant's are at the top of my list as Hawaii's finest and most tasty Pacific-Asian cuisine. This restaurant is located ON the beach with a beautiful view and fresh air. The earlier you go, the closer you'll be seated next to the beach. RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER: Their menu is constantly changing.

Food. service and ambience were amazing! Loved the sizzling beef tobanyaki was amazing. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and the triple tide sushi roll was so complex and flavorful. Jess was attentive and helpful with recommendations even though the restaurant was busy. Will be back even though it's a 45 min drive from town. Maha

I really contemplated 3-stars here but I'm going with four because overall I think Roy has a really great product and is a meaningful part of the food community here in Hawaii. First we were seated at a beautiful spot just off the beach for an early dinner. Couldn't ask for a better view / setting than that. That experience did not disappoint. Our server was very friendly and wow, very talkative. So much so that occasionally I don't think he actually heard what we asked for. And I can only assume he was that chatty with other tables, hence at time service was pretty slow. But you know, this is island time. We're on a beach. Who cares if service is a bit slow. Now on to the good. Food was great. I had the campache. Others had miso butterfish. Both were delicious. I think the one disappointing dish at our table was the short ribs. Oh and hamachi crudo was the bomb. Highly recommend!

Came here for dinner tonight after staying at the Ritz. We made a reservation for seven on a Saturday and we had to wait around 5 to 10 minutes for our seats which was a little long, but service was pretty decent for how busy they were and all the food was really yummy and came out a pretty good pace and it was pretty yummy. It was more on the expensive side, but I would say everything tasted pretty good and, like decently priced like a little bit overpriced, but likeworth the experience.

We took a ride around the island and decided to get lunch at the Beach House. We've eaten at two other Roy Yamaguchi restaurants and really enjoyed them. The Beach House lived up to the quality of the other two and did not disappoint! The restaurant is outdoors, on the beachfront, and it can get a little warm. The beautiful views help take your mind off the heat. Also, there was live music while we had lunch, which was really nice and relaxing. Although we live here, we felt like we were on vacation somewhere. I started off with the Brussels sprouts, and they were delicious; little crispy, well flavored with pork belly and not overcooked. My main entree was the lobster salad sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of lobster! It cost $35, which is what you would expect to pay, but this one had way more lobster than other places. Also, it had a light amount of mayonnaise, which made the taste of lobster really stand out. It also came with fries, which complemented the sandwich well. They were thick and well seasoned. Service was excellent, and there was lots of help available. I'll make it a point to stop off again on my way around the island or if I ever stay over at the Turtle Bay resort.

Solid fried chicken and fish tacos. The views around the hotel are beautiful and the restaurant gets equally gorgeous views. Service was friendly and fast.

This restaurant is right beside Turtle Bay resort on the North shore. Unfortunately, despite it being a higher end restaurant, it was one of the low points of my vacation. I arrived as a party of one and, as what seemed normal in Hawaii, was given hesitation to seat me. I was shown the bar area instead of a table which frustrated me but I obliged. My server was a man who was nice but didn't hesitate to try to upsell and direct me to all of the most expensive items on the menu. I was made to feel like I was wasting a table, and their time, for being alone and not ordering alcohol or multiple courses. I stuck to my dining preferences and ordered water and one of their more expensive fish dinners that unfortunately arrived cold. The kitchen was quick to refire and the manager personally delivered it to me to make sure it was better - and it was. Clearly the first time sat at the pass for too long because it was night and day. In the middle of your meal, fork in mouth, they hand you a dessert menu to choose from which I thought was a bit forward. They cite it's because the desserts take time to be made. There was a chocolate lava cake (pictured) that they apparently make fresh that I decided to try. However, I came to find out later that they give you a dessert complimentary (also pictured) which annoyed me. Everyone in the restaurant with me got one. I felt like I got duped by my server into buying a dessert to pad the bill. I was one person - how was I meant to eat two desserts? There was no mention of the free dessert until it randomly was delivered with the one I paid a pretty penny for. This restaurant is nice but is run very intentionally to extract as much money out of "wealthy tourists" staying at the resort like me. I didn't appreciate it, and for that I give this two stars. Would not recommend.

Review is for dinner service: Based on a lot of the reviews I read, it seemed like a 50/50 shot. Overall, the place has some big pluses, but also big cons. Ambiance (4/5) With the rebranding of turtle bay as a ritz, it feels a bit lost. It is what you would imagine from a restaurant on the beach, not stuffy, super comfortable and a nice bar and outdoor seating area when the sun is out! The atmosphere during the night is a bit dim and feels like its going for a cozy comfy vibe, but without being able to see the ocean, it feels a bit disjointed a night. Service (5/5) All the wait staff from the waiter to the hostess to the plate runners were all super friendly. This is where the restaurant shines. They definitely hire some incredible front of the house staff! Price and Food (2/5) Yes it has the Roy name attached. Yes it is connected to the Ritz Carlton at Turtle Bay. But for what you are getting, $60-70 for a mediocre fish plate, you can definitely find wayy better value elsewhere. I thought the food trucks around the north shore had way more flavor. The fish wasn't as fresh as you would expect and the restaurant felt like a typical run of the mill hotel restaurant. I.e. it didn't need to try that hard since they will always get hotel guests. They did have a great pre-fix menu that seemed great value. 3 dishes for $100, but the food overall was mid. Overall: based off the reviews, the lunch, outside, day time vibe seems the better choice. The overall experience was ok, but not worth coming back twice. For a $200 bill for two, expected more.

Beach House is a really beautiful restaurant - a luxurious feel without being stuffy. We were able to call and make a last minute reservation for that evening and appreciated that they were able to accommodate! The food is good although for the price point, I wish it was a touch better or more elevated. We ordered a sushi roll, calamari, the crispy brussel sprouts and the lamb shank to share. It all came out at once and relatively quickly - the highlights were the brussel sprouts and the sushi, although it wasn't exactly what I was expecting for a roll (it was almost entirely cooked rather than raw). The lamb shank was enormous and cooked well. Don't miss the molten chocolate cake at the end - def a highlight. Is it an expensive place for a fancy ish meal for tourists? 1000% But it does it better than most places and I appreciated how friendly and attentive the service was.

We popped in here as we were just taking a drive around the island and stopped at Turtle Bay Resort. This restaurant is located over by the beach villas. It is pretty much right on the beach, so no AC- just nice open air. We arrived in between their lunch and dinner service so the only area open was the bar, which was fine for us. We just had prosecco and an old fashioned. Not the greatest but the view was nice. Typical resort pool/beach bar vibe. You can go super casual if you want. I think the main restaurant area may be nicer where you can dress up for dinner. Menu seemed ok, pricey but that is what you find in resort restaurants.

Actually enjoyed my experience here, we went to celebrate for an anniversary, waiter was amazing and attentive along with giving us heads up to order desert ahead because it's made to order. Everything on the menu was delicious. Good but there are other restaurants that offer more. Recommend to others though!

Make a reservation!!! We waited about 1.5hrs. No reservation. The restaurant is very busy since it's located @ the resort. Abby, our waitress was great though. She should get a raise! She was so attentive & took initiative. The food was good but it everything was a lil pricey. I guess you're paying for the experience; the restaurant was located right on the beach. It was not worth the 1.5 hr wait for dinner.

Got to experience this Roy's at Turtle Bay for the first time following my cousin's wedding ceremony on the beach. It was dark when we were seated but I can imagine it must be beautiful when lit with the beach and sky in view. Open air resort casual, with sturdy wooden furniture and huge umbrella like coverings, we wondered how they maintain the place when it is closed since it doesn't have walls. We also marveled at how the people in charge are able to run and operate large restaurants like this. I guess they do slip up once in a while though because my $35 beef tobanyaki appetizer never made an appearance. Despite that, service was excellent and professional. We did make it fairly easy for the server since 3 of us ordered the butterfish and 2 ordered the short ribs, both signature dishes. My cousin who loves the butterfish and has ordered it throughout the years, noted that the accompaniments have changed even though the main dish has not. The last time I ordered it at the Waikiki restaurant it was not as good, served with white rice that was not cooked right. Tonight's version was much better but also cost more. (There are not many fine dining options on the North Shore so be prepared to pay resort prices.) Generous chunks of the black cod were paired with forbidden rice, a mild namul, and a delicious duo of wasabi reduction and carrot reduction that we thought was butternut squash or kabocha. Everything was cooked just right and paired well together! For appetizers we had tempura Shimeji mushrooms, fried calamari, and the karikari roll- a divine sushi roll with the misoyaki butterfish and blue crab. Would definitely get that again! Our server asked if we wanted to order the signature desserts which take 25 min to make when he dropped off our entrees. So glad we did because they came out right after we finished our entrees. Both the Molton lava cake and caramelized pineapple rum cake were delish , but if I had to choose only one, I'd choose the latter. I have not been to all the Roy's, but this was my favorite Roy's experience by far!

We took a family trip to Oahu last month and spent most of our time in the busy confines of Waikiki. The one day we decided to be ambitious, we loaded everyone up into two minivans and drove to the North Shore. We'd hoped to find turtles at Turtle Bay, but were not especially disappointed to find a Ritz Carlton instead, with a peaceful beach and an idyllic bar. Beach House by Roy Yamaguchi is the resort restaurant. There was an attractive dining area that was closed on a Monday afternoon, but I walked through it chasing after my two-year-old, who was entranced by the numerous ceiling fans. We posted up at the bar, a nice spot with a serene view of the beach. We were with several family members, including my cousins, who took turns playing with our two small sons. My husband and I spent a blissful hour sipping drinks at the bar, much of it with our children watched and accounted for by trusted adults. Our older kid squeezed in a full beach visit, playing in the sand and water with my cousin and her boyfriend. The drinks were tropical and delicious. The Signature Infused Martini was made a mix of Koloa coconut rum and Stoli Vanilla with Maui Gold pineapples, shaken up cool and frothy. The cocktail was nice, and the sweet, boozy pineapple was spectacular. The Ho'onanea was a better cocktail, though without the Maui Gold. It was a refreshing mix of Kuleana Nanea rum, Sugar Cane Dane mango and lilikoi gomme, and macadamia nut orgeat. I could see myself drinking enough of those to fall into a vacation-induced coma. I've never stayed up on the North Shore, but I totally get the appeal. It's so much quieter and more relaxing than Waikiki. I'm happy we got to visit during this recent trip. Our time at the Beach House bar was absolutely lovely.

Food quality is there. Absolutely beautiful setting with attentive service. We had a 6:00 reservation and arrived early. We were seated immediately and enjoyed a bottle of German reisling. (Wine list year and actual bottle were off by 4 years). Still delicious. Poke is great. Chilean seabass and pork chop were also excellent.

Man, I was totally blown away by the original Roy's in Kailua circa 2000. They the got too big too fast. It was always good, but not mind blowing like it used to be. The beach house is at the turtle bay resort and is one of the few restaurants to eat at. At first it's always, "we're totally booked," which is annoying and then 15 min ready your table is ready. Whatever. Ok, now for the good stuff. The staff is super nice and the atmosphere is great! The food is ok, and there is too much sauce and it's very expensive. In the end it wasn't bad and I'd go back.

Amazing. All around. We had a GREAT experience here for dinner. Even though they were a little weird about us not having a reservation and seating us at the bar (which apparently all walk-ins get bar seating... which is fine but they had plenty of open tables and servers while we were there). Either way, we had a great time sitting at the bar and our bartender/server was fantastic. I'd almost rather sit at the bar even if I had a reservation because of how chill the vibes were. And then the food. Omg. It did not disappoint. We'd eaten at Alaia the night before and we both preferred Beach House after trying both places. The price for quality seemed about spot on as well! We also had poke bowls from the restaurant wall hanging out on the beach earlier in the week (they serve you right to your beach chair!) and it was also phenomenal. We would hands down go here again the next time we stay at Turtle Bay!

Still the best restaurant option when you're staying at the Turtle Bay Resort. Technically it's not in the hotel but a short walk down by the beach, but it's definitely worth it. For lunch, we enjoyed the ahi poke nachos with tons of fish and delicious fried tortillas. My wife really enjoyed her fish tacos and my father-in-law devoured his beef burger. I had the lobster salad sandwich that was good, but I wish I could taste more of the lobster meat in there (overpowered by mayo and herbs). Overall, a very enjoyable lunch that I highly recommend.

Ocean views - 5 stars Friendly service - 5 stars Food - 4.5 stars and averaging out to 5 stars. All the restaurants are Turtle Bay are top notch and this one is as well. Right from the moment we checked in and saw the friendly faces and the ocean view, we knew were in for a great experience. Everything we ordered was extremely good. The salad with sashimi grade tuna was excellent

We had an excellent meal. Service was great and food was on point. Atmosphere is casual for fine dining and location was nice. Katrina, our server, was so nice and knew the menu well. She gave recommendations and even managed to find syrup to make a cherry coke! The other server (didn't get his name) was so on top of refilling water. I love that. For our pupus we has goats cheese with honey sweet rolls and lobster mac and cheese. Damn that mac and cheese was superb. I will be thinking about that for a long time. Lol For our meals we had chachi and some other sushi roll, lamb rack and the prix fixed menu with ribeye. The cheese cake pairs excellent with the port omg another one I'll be thinking about. All were REALLY good. Next time we venture out to the north shore I definitely will eat here again.

Turkey for thanksgiving awful Looked and taste terrible. Appetizers on point didn't bring my dinner out until my partner was finished!

The food was delicious! I ordered the Chilean sea bass and it melted in my mouth. The view was amazing as well - it overlooked the ocean and was really cool and calming. Our server was excellent, very attentive and quick to check on us.
