Best Places To Eat On Maui – Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar

Great Food & Karaoke in Kihei & Kapalua

Loved for its spectacular creations and jubilant atmosphere, Sansei Seafood Restaurant/Sushi Bar serves up contemporary sushi as well as modern takes on Pacific-Rim inspired dishes. Their sushi chefs are celebrated for unique dishes, like the signature Panko Crusted Ahi Roll and famous Shrimp Dynamite—lightly fried shrimp glazed with a sweet garlic sauce and finished will fresh scallions.

 

Critically Acclaimed

Wine Spectator praised Sansei for ā€œendless innovation with a strong Japanese accent.ā€ Bon Appetit named the restaurant one of their ā€œFavorite Asian Restaurantsā€ and one of ā€œAmericaā€™s Best Sushi Bars.ā€

Chef/Owner D.K. Kodama is recognized throughout the state for his imaginative cuisine. Drawing inspirations from traditional Japanese dishes, Sanseiā€™s sushi chefs ever so delicately finish their dishes with contemporary influences. This restaurant not only boasts critically acclaimed cuisine, but also an excellent assortment of wines (in fact it is an award-winning wine list).
Sansei’s Crab Ramen is easily one of their best dishes—we’re talking Dungeness Crab atop a black truffle butter dashi broth! Add julienne Thai basil, cilantro and diced jalapeno peppers and you have a dish that touches on flavors from Asia, the Pacific, and California.
In Japanese the word sansei refers to ā€œthird generation.ā€ Founder D.K. Kodama felt that this was a fitting name for a restaurant inspired by Japanese tradition, while serving modern conceptions of sushi and Asian cuisine. It is also a reference to D.K. Kodamaā€™s background as a third generation Japanese-American.
Love The Specials!

We recommend taking advantage of 2 Sansei Seafood Restaurant/Sushi Bar specials. An early bird right as they open (5:30-6:00), or the popular late night from 10PM-1AM. You might have to wait to eat, but it easily becomes one of Mauiā€™s top karaoke and nightlife spots on Thursday, Friday, & Saturday. There are two locations on island— at the Kapalua Resort on the West side and the Kihei Town Center in South Maui.
