Sansei Sushi and Seafood

This contemporary and westerized sushi restaurant is a hidden gem in the midst of Waikiki. Sansei is located on the third floor of the Waikiki Beach Marriot.

As loyal customers of Sansei, we've been here more than we can count. Most of the time, we go for the early bird special they offer every sunday and monday.

The early bird discount begins at 5:30 pm till 6:00 pm. Make sure you get there at least by 4:30 because the line gets long, and not everyone gets seated :( but other than that, who doesn't enjoy a 50% discount for being an early bird? So of course we take advantage of that and end up ordering more than we can handle. I highly recommend the Sansei crab cakes with crispy noodles. The sauce is just amazing and one of a kind. You can't go wrong with Agedashi tofu. It has a light shoyu sauce that seeps right into the flash fried tofu.

Another favorite is the Panko crusted ahi sashimi roll. Comes with a sauce similar to the crab cakes. Calamari salad is also a great sharing appetizer, be sure to ask for extra sauce! My favorite sushi roll that we ordered is the Dynamite roll, which is a california roll wrapped in smoked salmon and baked scallops on top.

The only thing that kicks the bill up is the 20% service charge that's automatically added to the bill. If you want really fresh out of the ocean seafood though, you might want to try somewhere else, but if you're craving some good ol' comfort sushi, Sansei is the place to be. We know we never leave with any room in our stomachs.
