    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.

    Creative well-prepared cocktails, excellent food which indicates great competence in the kitchen. Menu covers some very savory ground with lots of cuisine options from sushi to fish & chips with a great pub burger and more, most likely something for everyone. Will go again anytime we’re in central Kihei. Thumbs-up.
