What People Are Saying About Sansei Seafood Restaurant

Citysearch
In Short – Visitors to Sansei flock to its sushi bar, where expert chefs churn out specialty rolls such as the panko crusted ahi roll or the Kapalua butterfly roll (salmon, crab, shiromi, and vegetables). Other signature items include Asian shrimp cake, mango and crab salad roll, foie gras nigiri, and crab ramen with truffle broth. Friendly waiters are happy to suggest selections from a well-chosen sake list to complement the meal. Desserts such as Kula persimmon crème brulee often feature local fruits.

Kodama Should Swim with the Fishes
by cjglynn
With offerings including panko crusted ahi, numerous imaginative rolls, as well as traditional nigiri, Sansei, a Waikiki outpost of the Maui-based sushi/seafood creation by Dave "DK" Kodama, sets diners' expectations high. However, a dining room marred by canned Hawaiian musak, closely packed tables with plastic tops, and glaring lights quickly crushes any hopes of an enjoyable meal.
In a horrible, Denny's-like atmosphere, the harried, inexperienced servers are prone to botching orders. They rush by tables so quickly that it is hard to get their attention to put in an additional order.
Not to worry. Diners really won't want more of the fast food-quality fare anyway. Items intended to be crispy are soggy, selections arrive out of order or sometimes not at all, and dishes that should have been made fresh were obviously prepared ahead of time.
At prices high even by Waikiki standards (dinner for 2 with drinks $150), Sansei disappoints all around. For this egregious abuse of diners sensabilities, someone should ensure Kodama sleeps with the fishes.
- Cons: Soggy fried dishes, poor service, inexperienced waitrons, Denny's-like atmosphere
