    Always the best sushi, Sansei never disappoints. We were a little early for our reservation, but they were able to accommodate us. We had a couple substitution requests due a food sensitivity and a very picky toddler, but they made it happen. We visit on every trip to the Big Island, and will continue to do so!

    This restaurant was amazing and the sunset was glorious. We had excellent service and the food was delicious as well. We would definitely go back. It is expensive and it is not large portions but the ambience and live music and good service is worth the expense.

    Food was superb. Two of us had the macadamia nut crusted swordfish and it was delicious, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Just the right amount. The other person had the meatloaf and it too was delicious. Service was excellent, friendly and attentive. I had the chocolate souffle for dessert and it was well worth the wait. The others had the s’mores cheesecake and declared it delicious. Thanks for an extraordinary evening.

    Join an absolutely amazing location with equally amazing food, and it makes for a romantic evening celebrating our anniversary. The $110/pp prix fixe Pacific Rim menu alternative offered an amazing bread basket, a garden salad and mango ceviche for appetizers, and a kampachi/Kona shrimp duo and a wonderful Ono fresh catch for our main courses. Finally a lillikoi parfait and chocolate decadence dessert completed the evening. Elizer provided wonderful service with friendly conversation about his family. Thanks again to KCP for a wonderful anniversary experience.
