We couldn't have asked for a better first meal in Maui than dining at Sansei. We stayed at the Kapalua Villas so this restaurant was conveniently located at our resort. The staff was friendly (for the record, so is everyone else in Maui) and the food was delicious. Highlight dishes included the Ahi Poke (a Hawaiian staple). Panko-Crusted Fresh Ahi Sashimi, Mango Crab Salad Hand Roll, the buttery-melt-in-your-mouth Cod and the "69" Roll.
