Roy Yamaguchi is one of the legendary 12 founders of Hawaiian Regional Cuisine. He is also the most commercially successful with his mega-chain peaking at 30 outposts at one point. I had the good fortune of dining at the original on Oahu when he was cooking many years ago and it was amazing. Moments of brilliance can still be found at this and other Roy's and it is worth a visit for the gorgeous views although the location in a golf clubhouse is out of context.
