Japanese restaurant with a local influence. Incredible variety of sushi . Then there's the regular menu. Try the miso butterfish that melts in your mouth. Enjoy with one of the many sakes , hot or cold.
So good we went to the 1 in Kona after we hit up the 1 in Honolulu! We felt like keeping it casual so sat at the bar . We were very happy we did, because Darryl really brought the Aloha spirit. Thanks!
Really fresh sushi , and a great sake selection . The house sake is pretty good. By far the best service and dining experience we had in Waikoloa Beach .
Love the Sansei in Maui was very excited about eating at the this one ...ordered my favorite dish that I've had many times in Maui and it came out cold! Disappointed!
Try the unusual you won't be disappointed. Mushroom Cheeseburger Roll - mushrooms , croutons , cream cheese & spicy tuna . Weird sounding DEEELISH !!
The panko ahi roll got a big push and was only ok, but sashimi , butter fish and shrimp dynamite are incredible.
Trust your server's recommendations and eat as much as you can. The best dinner on my trip.
On Monday nights there's a Hawaiian music/dance show in the pavilion outside. Check it out before/after dinner !
Aloha may be the best hostess ever. She gracefully helped accommodate our party in a bit of a squeeze! Mahalo Aloha!
Get the truffle hamachi and shiitake tartare with shiso . Oh my gosh, it's so good.
Pretty good Japanese food ! It was made well and came out relatively quickly. I'd come back!
Really good sushi , maybe the best I've had anywhere. 2 adults and 3 kids - less than $100. Good choice.
If you want the sushi bar on a sunday or monday go to the left of the front door. They'll come out with a ticket for you. The sushi bar is a full menu too.
LOVE the late night HAPPY HOUR that starts at 10:00 PM! 50% off! Spicy Ahi roll is good and they even have Karaoke too!
Get the Fois Gras sushi and the lobster n blue crab raviolis
Come early for the 5-6 half price happy hour . I got here at 4:30 with more than 30 people already in line . Or get a ticket for the short line to sit at the bar .
Sansei 's mango crab salad hand roll needs a place in the sushi hall of fame. Awesome!
The Crown Maple & Egg Nog Martini is to die for!!!
My "entree" was literally 9 thin pieces of sashimi , with nothing else. I then ordered the ramen ; it wasn't great. Service was also terrible- waiter was clueless and forgot our drinks. Overpriced IMO
The nigiri needed larger pieces and lacked the freshness I was hoping for in a sushi restaurant off the coast of an island .
Great happy hour great value when it's half price ;)
you have to try the bluefin tuna an absolute delicacy
Sushi , miso , sashimi , cocktails
The spicy tuna hand roles are top notch. They serve Shiso with their sashimi !
Excellent sushi , great service.
You have not had sushi till you have dined here.
Def get the tasting! It's like the "greatest hits" of this place. And believe me, it is amazing. Come hungry!!
Best sushi ever. Drinks are awesome too.
Vegetarian Tip- Try the Grilled vegetable roll - inspired, fresh and flavorful
don't order tuna which is overfished and endangered. order hamachi , it's even better tasting!
Fantastic place for fushion Japanese food . They have a rokm you can reserve for meetings. Read more
Great tempura shrimp appetizer !
Early bird specials
Sushi was excellent!
Try the duck . Well worth the wait for it.
Best happy hour food & drinks, Sunday & Monday.
must try crab ramen w jalapeño and truffle oil . it's awesome.
The kapalua butterfry, spicy tuna roll , and calamari didn't taste fresh. The teriyaki beef is good.
The shrimp appetizer is great!!!!!
On Sunday and Monday they open at 5pm...
I really wasn't impressed with the food. I had seafood "chow fun " which was really just 4 scallops and 2 prawns over fettucini . Prices too high for what you get. Also, there is really no ambience.
Sansei 's Shrimp Dynamite is fantastic
The best sushi in the world!!!!
great sushi , will make your clothes smell after tho
Very punctual service. The fillets are incredible.
REALLY disappointed. Salmon sushi was warm and rubbery, hamachi was warm but OK. Caterpillar roll has no flavor and comes with no unagi sauce on the top, order extra. Uni was discolored and low grade.
Some sushi was good some was just ok. Definitely have had better other places, prob won't be back.
The butterfish is amazing.
50% off food Sunday & Mondays 5-6pm.
Long wait . Reservations seem to be available.
While “imported” bread is $10/loaf, the bakery price is $4. Also, all of their house made deli stuff is GREAT. Get the teriyaki. - Josh ????☢
Great breakfast! Good prices and you must have scrambled eggs!! - Shelley Huber
Island coffee ice cream with any mix-in. So very good. - Paige Bittle
Catch of the day is usually Mahi Mahi self caught by the owner. We really liked the Catch of the day & chips! - Konstantin Prinz
Decent hot dog, club sandwich. Ovaltine Smash milkshake looked awesome and was being enjoyed but we didn’t have one. - Peter Badovinatz
Plus: nice island clothing and jewelry shops and a convenient grocery store. - Kathleen Ognibene
