| - Here's what you get for not listening to the bartender: Instead of getting the butterfish, you get the Roy's Trio instead just to, you know, hedge your bets. Never again. The butterfish is the way to go, even if you're like me, fellow ginger hater (yes, I am the one Chinese person in the world who hates both ginger and spicy foods).
I started off with a mango mojito, which was absolutely delicious but also absolutely devoid of any kind of a kick. For appetizers, we got the Lakanilau roll, the calamari and the blackened ahi. For somebody who loves raw fish, I was at first a little disappointed we weren't getting actually maki, but oh good golly, that roll was CRAZY GOOD. Order it. You won't be disappointed.
And then my trio came out. In case you can't tell from the intro, the butterfish was by far the best of the three. Don't get me wrong, the others were also delicious, but it doesn't hold a candle to the star -- rich, flavorful, the way that fish is meant to be cooked. The portions were a mite small when divided into three dishes, so I definitely would recommend getting just one plate. Last time I got the Shellfish Sampler, which also was a trio but had bigger portion sizes.
We got talked into getting dessert. I had a small bite of the chocolate souffle, which was one of the best I've ever had.
And given the many choices that Vegas has to offer, I have to say that Roy's is reasonably priced for the quality of the cuisine. Very happy and can't wait to try the Chicago location.
