    Food was adequate but not worth the drive from Wailea.

    Definitely not what it used to be. Haven’t been to the island in several years and this has always been our go to spot, unfortunately it was not what it used to be.

    20 min wait to order after seating, waiter had bad breath, 1st dish served we didn’t order but was tasty, rolls just ok, staff forgot last dish but removed from bill. All in all, not the fabulous experience we had in the past.

    Fish was sub par. Rolls were hastily assembled and fell apart while eating. Uni had that metallic taste. Kitchen was loud banding noses heard throughout sushi bar. Disappointed to be sure.

    Sansei is our go-to sushi restaurant on Maui. Fish is super fresh. Amazing original dishes including the panko ahi roll and shrimp dynamite are musts! Daily sushi specials as well as daily sushi is A+.

    Food came fast, service was great! Food quality and presentation seems to have gone down since we were here last a few years ago.

    The last three times I have gone they were out of the steak that I wanted. Why should I go if they don’t have the food I want to eat???

    Incredible food and amazing staff. Vibe was lovely too. We had 4 rolls and the fish was fresh. The specialty rolls are delicious and creative.
