I think any restaurant called "Roys of Hawaii" should feature Hawaiian culture. I personally would prefer that culture to include Tiki, but Roy's could feature Pineapple, volcanoes, hula, Hibiscus/Plumeria blossoms, etc. Sort of like Diners featuring 50s Americana; Thai restaurants featuring Bhudda; and Chinese restaurants using dragons, etc.
