Fodor's Review:

One of the best-loved restaurants in Hawaii with locations on four of the Islands, Sansei is Japanese with a contemporary Hawaiian twist. Inspired dishes include a panko(Japanese bread crumb)-crusted ahi sashimi roll, rock shrimp in creamy garlic aioli, spicy fried calamari with kochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), and the signature mango-and-crab-salad roll. Those who love French cuisine will appreciate the decadent foie gras nigiri sushi.Desserts such as deep-fried tempura ice cream are worth the calories. The Kapalua location uses colors such as pumpkin, butterscotch, and sage that all add a tasty touch. Both this and the Kihei locations are popular karaoke hangouts, serving early-bird and late-night sushi at half price.

The foods are full of sauce, and all the sauce taste sweet. Creative but not good to eat. Don't order the Dinner for Two which is $70. It's not worth it. Order the rolls. It's better than their so called award winning dish. I hated it. The duck spring roll is good thou. If I go there I will only eat that. And Tue to Thur they have half price on sushi from 5 pm to 6 pm only. Again don't order their award winning dishes. Better yet don't eat here.
