Whether you’re a sushi purist or an adventurous foodie, Sansei delivers on all fronts. The menu features an impressive selection of traditional and innovative sushi rolls, sashimi, and specialty dishes. The Panko-Crusted Ahi Sashimi is a standout, offering a perfect balance of crunch and tenderness. Every bite of everything we ate is a testament to their commitment to quality seafood and masterful preparation.

The restaurant is especially popular during their late-night happy hours, where guests can enjoy delicious sushi at great prices while soaking in the fun and energetic vibe. Highly recommended!

    We always try to eat at Sansei a couple of times each time we visit Maui. Very fun place to go with family and friends. Service is always great and the sushi/food choices are great. We started with a Mai Tai and my wife had a rose. We ordered the edamame, crispy cauliflower to start. Next we ordered the dynamite shrimp, panko crusted ahi and the super red dragon. And we still had room for the apple tart with ice cream. Wasn't that busy for a Saturday night but I'd suggest reservation just to be safe.

    Delicious sushi. Rolls and tells maki were not very generous with fish portions. The quality of fresh ahi was excellent. Cocktails were delicious.

     Chris my server was excellent. He’s so passionate. He made the best recommendation. Every single menu item looked delicious. I wish I had two stomachs so I could eat everything. The owner was very hospitable. I came early for my reservation and he seated me right away. I sat outside, which was great. I saw some chickens that were actually sleeping in the trees. What a site I highly recommend coming here.

    Service was very nice but the food wasn’t the best. Sushi were soaked in sauce. The yellowtail appetizer was good and the sake selection good. Just not worth the $200 meal price tag for the food.

    Get the butter fish! It’s amazing. We split two small plates (butter nut fish and lobster ravioli), a spider roll and a piece of their coffee pie. Delicious!
