We decided to start by ordering sushi two items at a time, we ended up stuffing ourselves beyond belief! I think it was the sauces that they serve with some of the sushi. I was surprized, however, that it was quite a 'loud and happening place' with lots of people with families. We didn't take the kids with us for... more

We waited in line like everyone for the 25% off special. We were looking for great sea food, but we were greatly dissapointed. The food were served in plastic plates, come on! for the price they are charging they should use the traditional japaness dish wares. We ordered one of the award wining ramen (crab ramen?) it was very salty... more

4 years ago, my husband and I enjoyed Sansei in Lahaina during our honeymoon. Last year, we tried Sansei in Kihei, and the food was mediocre. This year, we decided to give Sansei another chance because we had $100 credit from staying at Kapalua Villas, and I seriously regret that decision. The food wasn't terrible, but it was mediocre at... more

then you MUST eat at Sansei. They have restaurants all over the islands, we ate in Lahaina and were so impressed, that we also ate at the one in Kihei, Maui. Liked the Lahaina restaurant more, as it was more upscale and in a very high end touristy area. We ate at the sushi bar at both. Amazing rolls and... more

Everyone raves about this place - I thought it was just ok. It would not be the first place I would run back to when I return to Hawaii. more

The dinner started with a lie. The lady at the front desk said the wait was 30-45 minutes and when - 50 minutes later- I asked how long it was going to take, she told me"I said 45 to 1hr". I made her notice that she did not say that, and I could not forget the number if I wanted... more

I usually just read reviews on here but realized I need to contribute also so here goes. Although this address is listed as Lahaina, the location is adjacent to the Ritz Carlton at Kapalua. We happened to walk by and see a menu and noticed that it said 25% off early bird special between 5:30 and 6:00 pm. We were... more

We stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua during our visit to Maui and had heard great things about Sansei. I am not a big sushi person, but my husband is. After checking out the menu online, we decided to stop in one night for dinner. It is definitely quite the hot spot with lots of promotional offers and discounted... more

First of all, the place is PACKED. All the time. Definetly NOT a family place- very loud and crammed. We placed an order to go because it as way too loud in there. After 40 minutes- still no food. My husband went to check on the service- they forgot to place the order in the first place. Their response was... more
