Roy Yamaguchi is one of the driving forces behind Hawaii Regional Cuisine, emphasizing fresh local ingredients with artfully blended European, Asian and Pacific Rim influences. A pilgrimage to the chef’s original outpost in Hawaiʻi Kai rarely disappoints. Classics such as braised short ribs and chocolate soufflé star on the menu, but it’s not as glitzy as Roy’s Waikiki.
