SAM CHOY BIOGRAPHYSam Choy’s years of cooking alongside his parents provided him with the skills and inspiration to make him a local Hawaiian celebrity in the early 1990’s. It is his exceptional creativity, love of good food, and Aloha for the guest he serves that has propelled him into the status of an internationally-recognized Chef today. Choy’s colorful personality and welcoming smile have drawn customers to his multiple restaurants over the last 30 years, but it is his award winning cooking that keeps them coming back. In addition to his young training, living in his home state of Hawai’i with its bountiful year-round hillsides of fresh meats, vegetables, fruits and fresh fish gave Sam an upper hand at making his mark on the culinary world.
After the early days of working with his family, Sam spent twenty-plus years mastering his craft in the kitchens of noted hotels and resorts on the mainland and Hawai’i. Following the footsteps of his heritage, Sam and his wife, Carol, opend Sam Choy’s in their newly adopted home town of Kailua-Kona in 1991. Years of local and international regulars enjoying Choy Cuisine have led to the opening of Sam Choy’s Kai Lanai in the summer of 2011. The combination of a million-dollar view and Sam’s delicious menu make this a not-to-miss dining experience on the islands.
