This is our second visit to Sansei Sushi. We really enjoyed the Miso Butterfish because it melts in your mouth. They have several sushi rolls that they recommend that are quite tasty and overall the sushi and poke are worth the visit. The service was crazy because we went for their early bird special were the majority of their food... More

First off -- MAKE RESERVATIONS! Second -- get there right when they open at 5:30. If you order by 6pm you get 25% off you entire bill! The sushi was sooooo good. There were 3 of us and we ordered a few different rolls to try. They bring them out as they are ready instead of all at once which... More

I didn't love this restaurant. Waited a long time for a table and after the meal was over wished we had gone elsewhere. The sushi was fine, but not good enough to entice me to ever return to this restaurant. The Ahi Poke had huge chunks of ahi that were too large to eat in one bite. The service was... More

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.
