from a yonsei Food here was pretty good. The wait wasn't as fun. We ordered a bunch of rolls and the chinese style sashimi - all fresh and tasty.

Good Martini Spot – I love the Spider Roll and the Dragon Roll. I always sit at the bar when I come here and it's good fast service. They make great drinks and the sushi is so fresh with great flavor. The bartenders are always really friendly and keep you full and happy. There is plenty of parking for all. It's a darker more intimate setting inside and plan on spending a little more here, but it's all worth it.

Good food – Very popular restaurant, but excellent food. If you go there before 6 p.m, they will give you 25% off, otherwise, the prices are pretty high. They had a visual on their dining table showing a certain type of sushi. Both my daughter and myself decided to order it. In the visual, it showed 3 very tasty looking crab rolls, but when our order came, we both got 2 small rolls. How deceiving. I did not complain since we had the 25% discount, but customers beware! Always ask how many pieces you get when ordering sushi. I... read more

YIKES – OK, so being from LA I will admit that I could be spoiled by the high quality sushi. During a recent trip to Maui, was very excited to see that Sansei had a 50% off deal between 5-6 pm on sun/mons. We stood in a line like Disneyland before being seated. Ordered the crispy calamari with 'spicy cocktail sauce'-- the calamari was not crispy, but rather chewy (overcooked) and the cocktail sauce not spicy, but rather ketchup-y. My date and I split 3 rolls between us, the speciality tuna sashimi roll was, I thought good, b... read more

Best Sushi in Kihei – Sansei's is a family place that is always busy every weekend no matter whether it's high or low season for the tourist. There's not a lot of Sushi in Kihei so it's easy to say this place is dakine compared to the other restaurants around.

Classy yet casual, Sansei features traditional sushi as well as Japanese fusion cuisine created by Chef D.K. Kodama. – In Short Visitors to Sansei flock to its sushi bar, where expert chefs churn out specialty rolls such as the panko crusted ahi roll or the Kapalua butterfly roll (salmon, crab, shiromi, and vegetables). Other signature items include Asian shrimp cake, mango and crab salad roll, foie gras nigiri, and crab ramen with truffle broth. Friendly waiters are happy to suggest selections from a well-chosen sake list t... read more

Bad service trumps average food – We recently ate at the Kapalua Sensei location- It was highly recommended and we were really excited. I am sad to say it was pretty disapointing- The hostess was perky enough, however our server Michelle wasn't interested in providing hardly any service, hospitality, eye contact, let alone Aloha Spirit- We are in maui after all.... The food was generally good quality except for the very sinewy Ahi Tuna in their highly publicized crispy panko crusted tuna roll, ( save that to chop up for spic... read more

Great sushi As is with most of Kihei's restaurants, this Sansei is located in a strip mall. If you have a taste for sushi this is the place. They have an early bird special with sushi plates half price. Be sure to get there 30 minutes before they open as there will be a line to get in, and the special is only for the first seating basically. Great food, great prices and friendly and attentive staff. Good selection of other Japanese dishes on the menu if you're not in the mood for sushi.

Excellent Sushi! – This place was a bulls-eye for both my husband and I. First off, our Australian waitress was great! She let us keep the menu at the table so we could order as we went along, and she made some great suggestions. My husband doesn't eat sushi beyond a little bit of tuna, but he struck out and tried a couple of things, and liked it! The panko-crusted ahi sashimi roll was out of this world! The yaki-maki was my second favorite. Everything was a success for me except the dynamite shrimp (which, in it's defense, ... read more
