    Sansei doesn’t disappoint. We have been coming here since it opened back in the 1990’s. This was our first time back since 2019. There’s an outdoor patio now which is a great addition. Megan was a fabulous server. Definitely make it a choice when in Kapalua or other places in Hawaii!

    All of our food was amazing. We sampled pretty much most of the appetizers some of the sushi rolls, the sashimi, the wagyu steak and the desserts were fabulous as well. Our coffee martinis put it over the top. our waiter Mikey was awesome. Enjoyed our evening tremendously

    We ended up ordering from the happy hour menu and the food was outstanding! We tend to be picky eaters, and the flavors were amazing. My husband ordered the burger and I ordered the pork quesadilla. The burger was cooked perfectly and the sauces on the quesadilla were delicious. Our server Toby, was very helpful with menu questions and she was so friendly! I want to go back to try other dishes on the menu. Run, don’t walk! Your taste buds will thank you!
