I have been here on several occasions over the years when visiting Maui. The service was pretty good overall. The sushi was not as good as I remember, but was still good. The tempura had some extra flour that was uncooked. The fish was very fresh. The ambiance was pleasant.

Everything on the menu was outstanding. Four of us went for my wife and my 53 rd anniversary. Made reservation with the manager two weeks in advance. When we got there they didn't have our reservation. Hostess was very helpful got us a table in less than 10 min. Good thing we weren't an hour later. There was a line... More

This restaurant was recommended by friends of ours. We visited and decided to sit at the sushi bar. The sushi was exceptional! We thoroughly enjoyed each roll. My husband enjoy the Spicy Japanese BLT Roll. I definitely recommend trying some of the sushi specials, they are amazing. The menu pricing is very fair and you will enjoy it very much.... More

A must do stop. 5:30 - 6:00 is Early Bird most days and worth waiting in line for. We have been there maybe 15 or 20 times and have never ordered an entree. The sushi and appitizers are too good not to pig out on.

Service is always excellent, the fish exceptionally fresh. The specials are always a delight, and we always happily over order so we can explore the menu. The Rainbow Poke is spectacular. Maguro sashimi excellent grade and as fresh as I have had it. Delicious Tempura Shrimp... also one of the specials, and a number of other treats, rolls, sides, etc... More

Intended to eat here on the first night, after 12 hours flying time and crossing 6 time zones, only wanted something light to eat. Liked it so much we ordered takeout twice in the 7 night stay in Kapalua villas. Probably tried about 9 different tiems in those three evenings and loved all of them, but special mention goes to...

This restaurant is popular with the locals. As you would expect, the fresh fish in HI is amazing and Sansei did not fall short. We sampled many different foods including sea urchin (not my favorite) and a few of the cooked items like the Shrimp Dynamite (awesome!). Overall, not cheap, but well worth the cash.

This is our second time at Sansei (been a few years) and we figured out why we didn't think it was that awesome the first time around. you can't just order straight sushi, you HAVE to order the specials they highlight in the menu. WOW, that was some great food! I wish I could remember the names of all the... More

Make a reservation tues, wed, thurs fro 5:15pm. 25% off until 6pm and people with reservations are seated before the crowd waiting to get in. Incredible fusion of Japanese/Hawaiian specialties. Try the cold tofu for a real treat that most people never think to order.

The service was great, waiter was attentive and knew the menu front/back! After feeling out what we liked/didn't like, he made several great recommendations for our palate (for some of the more unique appetizers/rolls). Sashiimi was top notch, fish tasty, and the rolls good. We did order one on a whim that was slightly dissapointing (yellow submarine) but we figured... More
