All six courses from our tasting menu
Tricia M.

We did the Sunday night Chefs counter and loved it! Intimate evening with Chef Jojo, 3 staff and 8 total seats. We really enjoyed getting to hear the stories behind the tasting menu dishes, his overall culinary perspective, and how nothing goes to waste in his kitchen. Menu changes every two months so menu below reflects Jan and Feb from what we heard. We loof forward to visiting again to see what Chef Jojo comes up with next! We definitely want to gate keep this special spot but it's so good we had to share. You need to email in advance to try and get a spot and they reach out one week before to confirm if you got a slot.

We had a large party of 6 adults and 5 children all under the age of 10. We made reservations in advance. Even with the reservation, the staff required us to wait 15-20 min after arriving to be seated. This was interesting since there weren't a lot of patrons in the restaurant. After the wait, we were finally seated. We ordered a variety of appetizers, including poke chips, Caesar salad, and PLT lettuce wraps. All the appetizers were good but nothing amazing. For our entrees, we ordered a number of keiki burgers, the highly recommended fried chicken, the sirloin steak with broccoli, biscuits, mac and cheese, and a variety of sauces. Overall, the food was average. The fried chicken was good but not the best I've had. I'm not sure I'd return if given the opportunity.

Seafood tsunami
Thomas H.

Great little find. Nice open area and bar. I liked the tables and decor. The server was friendly and timely. The food was the best. I had the Kale salad and seafood tsunami. The Kale salad was awesome. Really well seasoned and dressed. Didn't even feel like I was eating such a superfood veggie. The seafood was really well cooked. Had mahi mahi, shrimp (which was the best I've had in a really long time) and poke. Would definitely eat there again!

This was a wonderful dinner spot in Maui!!! We had great service, great food and easy to get to. We will be back again! It was a chill spot and looking forward to going back again!

Seared catch of the day - Mahi Mahi
Doris L.

Our first time visit while we are in Maui. We ordered the Seared catch of the day which is Mahi Mahi, Seafood Tsunami and Crunchy Kale salad and Hibiscus Lemonade. The food are so delicious. The Mahi Mahi is moist and flavorful. You don't even need the tarter sauce. The seafood tsunami has Ahi Tuna with spicy sauce and kick to it. It also has soft boil seasoned egg, fish and shrimp. The crunchy kale salad is yummy. We are glad we visited and had dinner. Even though it's on the pricy side but the restaurant is locally owned and we are proud to support local business 'Lahaina strong' will definitely visit again while in town.

Local art work along the walls
Roselia G.

Lots of good options here, including locally made Hawaiian beer. The sauce they use in their burger was really good. And the fries are double fried and perfectly crispy. The pork bowl was good too. I love the art work up on the walls. We will have to be back to try the brownie dessert served with Ube ice cream!

PLT Pork Lettuce Wrap
Anthony R.

Had dinner with a friend on Saturday evening. Started with the PLT Pork Lettuce Wraps (4 per order - only one left in the picture ). Thought it needed some sort of sauce before biting in; but once you take a bite a pop of tomato marmalade comes through and you realize that no additional sauces are needed. A well balance appetizer. I had the Special-New York steak. The steak itself was cooked to about medium, I believe. The steak was good but what took it over the top was the beurre blanc(?) and the grilled onions. The onions were grilled just enough to get the perfect sweetness. The side of fries were good and crispy but not great. My friend had the Seared Catch. The Mahi Mahi was cooked to perfection. The staff were very attentive and refreshed our drinks frequently without request. The food arrived quickly and at the right temp. Overall a great dinner experience. Will dine again.

Poke bowl
Jadyn H.

Came in when restaurant was empty, so service was pretty fast. Servers seemed rude/inexperienced, however. Food wise not bad. I found every dish to be slightly too salty, but far from the worst. Garlic shrimp was exactly that- heavy on the garlic, deliciously so. However, it could have done with less butter/oil as it got to be too heavy. Poke was good but had too much soy sauce in it. Generous portion size and fresh fish though. Pork was also generous on portion size but too salty. All dishes came with rice (good) and slaw (delicious and light without being salty). Restaurant was clean and spacious, prices were fair. Go ahead and give it a shot :)

Chicken Katsu Bowl

The quality of the food and service here is excellent! My family and I ate here three times during our trip since we loved everything we ate so much! The food is consistency delicious and some of our favorites that we ordered were the chicken katsu bowl, the paniolo burger, and the flip-n-out burger. For dessert we got the Cast Iron Chocolate Brownie which I would also highly recommend! We can't wait to eat here again once we're back in Maui!

Fried chicken with orzo.
Ana Carolina C.

The food was incredible, the waitress was really friendly and the ambiance was good. I would definitely recommend and go back. It was one of the best places to eat in the island.

Kale Caesar
Harinder K.

Nice local place for a friendly meal. Menu is small but the food is fresh and tasty. We opted for starters only - they are generous portions and shareable. Thr roasted brussel sprouts are well cooked but a bit heavy handed with vinegar. The poke and chips was nicely seasoned and fresh. The PLT - 4 portions was appreciated. Finally. The kale Caesar was fresh and dressed nicely. Service is attentive and helpful. The restaurant has a nice bar set-up and open dining area - we came late (7:30 pm) and it was not too crowded.

Calamansi daiquiri
Robyn C.

Went here for dinner. Reservation at 7- seated pretty quick, but basically took over 10 minutes to get water. The food was pretty good, the flavors good, well seasoned. Started with the chicken bites. Loved that it was crispy because of both the breading and still having the skins attached. Very juicy and tender. The house ranch was herby and creamy- delicious but the BBQ sauce tasted like a basic BBQ sauce. Tried the calamansi daiquiri. I had high hopes, but the cocktail wasn't icy cold, it was... cold in a sense it was clearly shaken with ice, but wasn't "ooo refreshing" cold. Like it say for a few minutes before I got a sip. The flavor was all there though! Ended up ordering the tsunami (2)- the portions were totally off from both bowls. While I got a generous portion of fish (inch thick), the other bowl got less than 1/2 the thickness, yet same cut size? A generous scoop of ahi poke, just drizzled with a basic spicy mayo. The pickled cucumbers was good, but think that sets it apart from anything you can quickly put together at home in 5 mins. Looked at the dessert menu. Ended up passing when I saw it was just local ice cream you can buy at the store, or store ice cream with warmed up chocolate chip cookies or the burnt cheesecake. The flavors were good, but nothing to really write home about. I wished there was just something that made anything pop! The restaurant has potential.

fish sandwich
R C.

Love this place. We tried this when we were last in Maui and we had to come back! The garlic shrimp is tasty and fish sandwich fresh. Service was friendly and attentive. Dining space is clean and casual. There is ample parking available.

Food came out a little slower than expected and by the time our Korean fried chicken main course came out we were almost full and had to take it togo.

The restaurant itself is quite tiny with limited indoor seating, bar seating, and a stretch of patio seating. We were seated at the bar and had two various experiences with the two bartenders that were looking after us - the gentleman who was the bartender was extremely kind and attentive. He was engaging and made small talk with us. The female bartender was quite rude and cold, and I debated removing a star for her poor attitude and service skills. Service aside, my husband and I decided to try a few different items, including the Szechuan garlic noodles, pickled cucumbers, aji tamago, and Lion's Mane salad. All four dishes had wonderful flavor and were the perfect amount to share and leave full without being overwhelmed. I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and the variety of spice. All in all, it was a tasty meal, but they definitely need to work on their consistency with employee service.

We originally had called in for a reservation for 12 and they scheduled us for a 7pm table. We had some of our party not able to join us so I called them back and asked if we were a party of 9, could we be seated sooner? They opened at 5 and we requested to have an earlier dinner appointment. The hostess was quick to accommodate and gave us a 5pm reservation. - I felt that the servers were very attentive our entire meal, always making sure to get any extra plates out of the way and refilling waters often Bad: - it was quite overpriced. I understand that this is a tourist-centered area, but I cannot fathom paying $40+ for pasta... the serving size for most of our food was disappointing to say the least. The Alaskan roll had barely any fish and the rolls were not very big. It was falsely advertised to us by our waiter that a roll could easily feed 6-7 people. Please refer to the pictures below to reference serving size. - the food itself was not up to standard, especially for the outrageous price we paid for it all. The short rib wontons... first of all, I recommend Sansei changes the name of this dish because are a far cry from wontons. They did not taste good and there was barely any filling in them. The Alaskan roll tasted like only rice and cucumber. The cooked salmon was dry and came with a single jumbo shrimp... - our main waiter was rude, he did not seem to have much patience, giving us attitude and tone that did not feel appropriate. Conclusion: Overall, we were disappointed with our experience at Sansei. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, visitor or local, and we will not be coming back.

What I enjoyed about this dish was the diced maui onion that offset the citrus from the ponzu. The flavors are light, and refreshing. The most disappointing was the crispy chicken. I thought it was too salty, but that's my preference and salt tolerance. The miso butterfish was also a great dish. The fish was buttery and flavored well. Not too saucy but the perfect amount of sauce. Service: Service is friendly, like most of the restaurants on Maui. The food was served in a timely manner. The ambiance is casual and felt like a bar restaurant. Overall, I'm not sure if I would return. After ordering 6-7 dishes, I wanted to be blown away by at least 4-5 of them, but that wasn't the case. Do yourself a service and try it out at least once if you are curious!

The roast duck was really good actually. The general tsao's chicken and chicken lettuce was good, I've definitely been to other spots that were better but I don't have anything bad to say about it. What I really disliked about this place was the Seafood Bird's Nest. Initially, they thought I ordered a Seafood Delight, but my order was missing the noodles. But they basically just fried up some noodles real quick and threw it under. And that part wouldn't have been a problem for me, but it was honestly waaaay too salty (and I like really salty! so that says a lot to me) It was difficult to eat to be honest, but I of course didn't want to waste it. The seafood included 3 pieces of shrimp, about a stick of imitation crab meat, a couple small pieces of scallop, and A LOT of calamari pieces that were soooo tough to chew, we couldn't even really eat them! For the chicken lettuce, they gave us about 3 full pieces of lettuce that was cut up and then charged us $4.00 for more pieces of lettuce which is pretty pricey lol. The siu mai was mid.. but you get what you pay for. There was also a 3% additional kitchen surcharge which was weird...? Still not sure what that was for lol. And then on top of that there's another 3% charge if you use credit card, so just be aware of that. The service was fine, because there was basically no one else in the restaurant anyway. Also - my boyfriend told me they had no soap in the restroom at all which was inconvenient. Overall, the price of their food does not make sense for the level of quality. I wouldn't recommend to my peers to come here, except maybe just grab their roast duck to go.
