    We like Sansei very much. The food is consistently great and last night was no different. We shared the butterfish small plate. I had the seafood pasta and my wife had ahi with shrimp cake. Flavors were wonderful. Unfortunately, our server was not good. He walked by us multiple times when we wanted drinks or other things. He had no peripheral vision. Unfortunate!

    We loved Sansei! Great food, great service. Everything was super quick too. Definitely recommend making a reservation. My fiance used to visit this place over a decade ago, he remembers it exactly to what it was today!

    My wife and I had the best experience at Sansei sushi bar on our last night in Maui. Our waiter Sonny was so sweet and had the best recommendations! You won’t regret stopping here for super fresh sushi at a reasonable price. Thank you!
