When a restaurant agrees to seat you, regardless of reservation status, I think most would agree that a contract has been made to provide you, the customer, with a signature experience. Such was my expectation at Sensei Maui this evening. We willingly accepted what was arguably the worst table in the restaurant (directly behind the hostess’ desk), because we were... more

I think of myself as a sushi lover and this place has very fresh seafood. All the rolls we ordered were very fresh and the rice was cooked perfect. The Hawaiian roll was the best with a little kick to it. Now you will not find a extensive list of rolls here. We have a place here called Amura's and... more

My husband and I had read about this restaurant in the Maui Fodor's book, so we had already planned to eat here before arriving. We were very pleasantly surprised to find it within walking distance (maybe 150 yards) from the Ritz where we were staying. the service at both the bar and restaurant was impeccable. the wine list was picked... more

Every time we are on island we have to go to Sansei. Are favorite dish has to be the ahi carpaccio. It is to die for. Pounded thin sashimi grade ahi with a delicate yet complex vinagrette that has a subtle touch of lemon grass. Hmm, I'm getting hungry again just writing this! The wait can be long - even... more

We went to this Sansei three times during our 10 night stay at the Ritz. First of all, this is not a kid friendly restaurant. It is not a friendly restaurant at all. I have to make an exception, one night were seated at the bar with our 5 year old daughter for the purpose of getting us in and... more

We had high hopes for this restaurant since we'd heard that Maui has the best sushi in all the islands, and it was affiliated with the Ritz Carlton, where we've stayed and were impressed with. We made reservations and thus were seated immediately when we arrived. Our waiter had us laughing right away and gave us advice to order one... more

My husband and I were very excited to dine at Sansei after a friend recommended it to us. We were thrilled to be in Hawaii and chose Sansei as the first restaurant we would enjoy since we both love sushi. The meal was very expensive and certainly not anywhere near the "best" sushi I have had. However, it was OK.... more

Just returned from 12 days on Maui and Sansei was one of our dining highlights. We all love great sushi and seafood, and what made Sansei even better was their "early bird" special! From Tues-Sat., from their 5:30 pm opening until 6pm, they have 25% off! The four of us ordered a great variety and all of it was very... more

We have been to Maui three times and just this visit made it to Sensei. We have eaten at just about every nice restaurant on the Island...Sensei is now our favorite. We even tried to get reservations to go back a second time before we went home and were unable to! Make reservations before you come to Maui for 5:30... more

This place is a must go. The sushi and entrees are fantastic. The service is freindly. The prices are resonable. Make reservations because this place gets packed. We ate there twice in one week! more
