We went to Sansei in Kihei for our last dinner on Maui. We made a reservation for 5:30 to take advantage of the early bird pricing. All the dishes we had were excellent. I especially liked the dynamite shrimp and the California roll with smoked salmon (can't remember the exact name) - we left very full. We always try to... More

Good service, good food, good ambience. They only take booking for half of the restaurant and save the other half for walk-in, go earlier if you can't get a booking. Sashimi was fresh, oysters were yummy.

Excellent sushi, and popular place. Make a reservation. The line starts at 5:00 for a 5:30 p.m. door opening. We were amazed at it's quality and popularity.

Edit My husband and I were in Kihei for 9 nights. Out of those 9 nights we ate at Sansei Seafood 3 times! To say that the food was delicious is an understatement. It was divine! However, good food is only part of the equation, the rest is service. What can I say...it was beyond wonderful! All the staff was... More

This place delivers and the choices of different rolls is endless. Hospitable service and good sushi will keep us coming back. Very dependable quality and it delivers a good value. The menu is big, so be patient and have your server assist your adventure, you wont be dissappointed.

We have been here 4 times and found out on the last visit that they have happy hour food specials. Make a reservation before 6:00 to enjoy the discount. I always ask for a booth as well which they try to accomodate for 2 people. I have never been disappointed with the daily special fish carpaccio. My husband really enjoys... More

Pretty average chain sushi. Starters were okay, but the Fatty tuna (VERY expensive) was sliced way too thick and difficult to enjoy. East-meets-West roll was okay as we're big fans of rainbow rolls. The menu is too cluttered with other stuff and overly complex. If you want sushi, I'd suggest going where the sushi is the star attraction. Sansei is... More
