My friend and I got in late to the hotel and wanted something close and good. We sat outside. The sushi here was very fresh. We would definitely go again. More

Awesome views of beach and sunset so request a table outside. Inside seating is a bit loud. Sushi is incredible. Great for vegetarians! More

Great Resturant with a unique menu. We even went back a few days later to see if they served breakfast. Not your typical Seafood resturant. They fuse flavors and colors to delight your taste buds and your eyes. The apps were light and addicting. We ordered Lobster tail and steak that melted in your mouth. You will enjoy, there is...

Named one of the top Japanese restaurants in Oahu and Maui for a reason. Plenty of unique rolls and dishes you won't find at other restaurants in the area. Most of the dishes have great flavor but also come with great price tags. One must try is their tempura battered, deep fried, macadamia nut ice cream dessert. Heck, I would... More

Difficult to find-signs for a double restuarant are confusing. We were there late, but kitchen was still open. Female bartender more interested in putting bar away and cleaning up than waiting on us. Even forgot to put in part of our order. Very, very cold inside when it was only 72 outside. Ahi okay, but not much flavor to any... More

We took advantage of the Monday night 50% off deal that is available 5:30 to 6 pm only Sun and Mon. We got in line at 5 pm and there were about 20 people ahead of us. We were admitted in the second seating at about 5:10 and the staff was very geared up to help us take advantage of... More

We decided to try Sansei after reading all of the great reviews and were pretty disappointed that we chose this restaurant out of all of the sushi places in Honolulu. The rolls had a lot of filler rice and were average at best and definitely not worth the hefty price tag. The assorted nigiri was again just average and not... More
