    We live down the street and go there once or twice a month. The absolute best dish imho is the surf and turf (lobster). Service is good although they always seat us at the same table. I don’t know why and I haven’t asked yet…

    This was our party of five adults and one infant’s second visit to Sansei Kapalua during our one week vacation on Maui. The food was delicious as usual, including the Lobster and shrimp mashed potatoes, lobster and crab ravioli, the beautifully prepared pork chop, and numerous sushi rolls, including the Sansei special, Spicy tuna, and super red dragon rolls. The shrimp dynamite is our favorite appetizer. We had incredibly wonderful service for Megan as she was so easy-going, attentive, friendly, and helpful. She helped make this a special night for all of us. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and evening.

    We have dined at Roy's the last 3 years, each time it has been better than the last. Fish should be easy to prepare since it is on the menu a lot. We have had the Mahi Mahi, and butterfish and it could have been better, either overdone, or mushy. Very overdone, but this last visit we ordered scampi and the ono, superb!! We will be back.

    one of the best Omakase dinners for my wife and I. Chef Yamada used fresh fishes and ingredients for the dinner. Some ingredients were from Japan. The service from the wait staff was excellent. The dinner was delicious. We enjoyed it very much.
