    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!

    2nd visit this trip, food was much better, service was a bit harried. Back in the small room off the hostess stand it was very loud.

    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.
