Roys Washes Ashore
At last, a Roy's restaurant is finally coming to LA
Chef Roy Yamaguchi is opening another of his Hawaiian fusion restaurants in California. Gayot.com reports "the cookbook author and television host/star has restaurants named after him in Hawaii, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Washington and Nevada."
The new Roy’s in Woodland Hills will be the first in L.A. County. Chef/partner Tom Voss will handle the LA operation; he has worked with Yamaguchi in Maui and La Jolla. The Woodland Hills Roy’s will have a sushi counter but it won’t be as expansive as Roy’s in Newport Beach. Voss plans on featuring local fish varieties as well as Hawaiian favorites.
The official opening date is February 3. Roy’s Woodland Hills, 6363 Topanga Canyon Rd., Woodland Hills, 818-888-4801

You do know that Roy's kind of sucks, don't you? Or at least the ones I've been to in Honolulu, Kona and NYC. Very, very sub-Spago, with more mango and teriyaki chicken. Yamaguchi was a talented chef when he ran 385 North here in the early '80s, and the early days of Roy's were pretty good, but the franchise has become mega-corporate and bland.

sure, we know. why do you think they put the new restaurant in Woodland Hills... the San Francisco branch efficiently produced our favorite, Roy’s Classic Roasted Macadamia Nut Mahi Mahi so we remain optimistic
