The sushi here is alright. Not the best, not the worst. The 69 roll and the Sansei roll were definitely tasty. The drinks were yummy. Desserts were so-so and IMO not worth it.
Service is somewhat slow, not because the staff aren’t trying, but they’re always packed and overwhelmed.
I highly recommend making a reservation or you may be waiting a long time for a table.
For value, I’d give this 3/5 stars. It’s expensive for the quality of the sushi, but given that it’s one of the only sushi places in this area you have limited options (unless you want to drive into Kona).

Reservation at 5pm. Superb service by local lady that knows the specials menu by heart. Excellent high maka maka mule. We ordered too much good food ( see pictures ) Great for Waikoloa cuisine

Our waiter did the best they could but the restaurant was understaffed. The food ranged from average to poor, both in presentation and quality. If you’re expecting genuine Japanese food, definitely avoid. Not good value. Disappointing. We had 6 dishes in total, none of which I would recommend. Over cooked elements, too much deep frying, soggy batter, bland flavours, too much mayonnaise, etc.

I recently dined at Sansei and had an exceptional experience! The highlight of my meal was the perfectly cooked steak, which was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The presentation was elegant, and the ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall dining pleasure. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who made sure every detail was perfect. If you’re looking for a fine dining experience with outstanding food, Sansei is the place to go. Highly recommended!

We’ve dined here in the past and were disappointed on this latest visit. It’s now more a bar than a restaurant and the menu has been scaled back significantly. It’s mainly a drink and rolled sushi kind of place. Gone are the foie gras sushi, green lipped mussels and other items we’ve had on prior visits.
We started with Macallan 12 on the rocks ($21) and Bombay Sapphire gin & tonic ($16). My friend ordered the Issei Combo ($29.50), featuring a spicy ahi roll and four nigiri (tamago, ahi, Hamachi, and salmon). He added an order of Hotategai ($11). I ordered Hamachi ($13) and Unagi nigiri ($12) and the Raw Blue Crab Poke ($19).
The sushi was just okay; I felt that the rice was underseasoned. The raw crab poke was really halves of raw crab over a salad. The crab tasted okay but there was too much dressing, so the greens were soggy. Another round of drinks followed.
The bill came to just short of $203 (including tip). Afterward, we went to Island Gourmet Market and found better sushi for far less money.
Later, I felt ill and think it was revenge of the raw crab. Thus, this will be our last visit to Sansei at Waikoloa. One and a half stars.

Food was good. We loved the ramen and the salmon.
However, the service was bad we sat there for over 25 minutes and nobody even came over to ask us about if we wanted water and the server come back again in another 10 minutes and told us the food we wanted to order was out.
Another complained about the Ramen was that the noodle seems to be sat in the bowl for too long, and became a pancake l.

I’ve been going to Sansei’s Seafood & Sushi Bar for over 5 years now. The food is always consistently good, but it has gone way up in price. Most of the specialty sushi is over $20! The quality of the sushi is well in the $12-18 price range. I got the usual Teriyaki steak and it was soft and full of flavor! I paired it with a side of rice and easily transformed it into a meal. Our server was also really attentive and made us feel welcomed. Although we really enjoyed our dinner, be prepared to drop some major $$$. Also just an FYI, happy hour is now on Sunday and Monday.

Great place to get out of the resorts and have an excellent culinary experience. Had the Hawaiian Ahi. Sauce made me die and go to heaven. Fish was fresh as it is in the rest of the island. My wife had the seafood pasta which was also amazing. A little expensive, but it’s in a resort area, so expected. Great staff as well!

We’ve been to Sansei on Maui for years it has been one of our favorite restaurants in all of Hawaii. That said, this location on the Big Island has been a disappointment. As soon as we ordered, my youngest’s meal literally appeared within a minute of ordering (not joking), we thought it was a cancelled order from another customer how else could it come out so quickly. There was no rhyme or reason to how our orders came out, they came out at different times and not all at once, and the bus boys bringing them out always hard a hard time remembering what they had. When we asked the waitress about the last remaining dish that was last after all the others, the answer was it comes out whenever it’s ready as it’s family style, which doesn’t make sense since it specifically was an individual entree. And as soon as she left low and behold it arrived immediately after. We also ordered a lemonade was completely sour which suggests they made it manually which is interesting, after another sour remake we just asked it be removed from the bill. The food itself was fine, nothing special and certainly not worth the price. Please do yourself a favor and just eat on the other side of the mall at Island Gourmet markets, where the food is better and far more reasonable in price. Also Sansei was half empty when we left despite it being not yet 8pm but was full when we arrived. Maybe it’s more popular during the 50% off happy hour.

The food was pretty good but pricey for what you get (although on the island what else is new). Short rib ramen was tasty but not your typical ramen flavors (it was heavy on the onions and they added truffle oil). Rolls and sushi were great.
