We were with some friends on a Saturday night celebrating an anniversary. What a disaster. To make a long story short, the dual fish dish was overcooked and the short ribs were dry and tough. My meatloaf was hard. We asked for extra items that we didn't receive. We wanted to just let the server know how the meal was and his suggestion was to get us more sauce. What??? For dry food, pour more sauce over it? To celebrate our friends anniversary, they received a card that had all the servers signed. That was it. You spend that much money on food and drinks and this is what you get. No wonder Roy sold out. It was nice that management comped both meals without anyone of us asking. Maybe because I checked in on yelp for the free chocolate souffle. They knew the screwed up and acknowledged it. That evening was suppose to be a joyous celebration. It was disappointing.

My husband, daughter, 8 yo grandson and I happenstanced upon this restaurant and were very pleased with the experience. Even though we did not have reservations, we were early enough that the staff accommodated us. The restaurant was small enough to provide a restful dining experience--we didn't miss the lack of noise. The mixed olive appetizer was served warm and wonderfully tasty. We ordered various sushi and rolls and all were very creatively presented. We would like to say that by the time we left the restaurant, it was no longer a two-dollar experience but rather a four-dollar experience. The $$ review is misleading. The restaurant is on the pricey side if you wish to feel as if you had enough to eat. We spent over $200 and only had one cocktail each. But, all in all, a great dining experience and we would return.

Miso Phat

Reviewed By Cal_Travel_Lover

We had eaten here previously and felt it was acceptable, a few years ago. This time we ordered takeout, 3 rolls. The Tempura roll had tempura that wasn't freshly prepared in it. The Spicy Salmon skin roll was OK and the unagi roll was fine, nothing special; the prices seemed high for the quality. We come from the San Francisco Bay area where we get excellent, fresh sushi frequently (even served at our wedding), so expected this to continue to be high quality, but not to be. We gave this a rating of poor, because the quality was average but the price was not worth it.

Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar

Reviewed By Travelingtheworld61

We arrived on Maui in the afternoon, checked into our hotel and made our way to Sansei Sushi for our first meal. It did not disappoint. I had read to be in line 15 minutes before opening time. If you have reservations, stand in the line to the right, if you don’t stand in the line to the left. We did have reservations and got right in. We wanted to do the happy hour which is 25% off. Be prepared to order quick though. You only have a certain window to get your food ordered. We had a number of dishes and all were fantastic. Butter fish and calamari were standouts. Their Flying Fish Roe/Tobiko Nigiri was a dream come true! (pic attached).A wonderful way to start our weeklong magical stay in Maui!Aloha and mahalo for taking the time to post your excellent review and comments. We appreciate them very much. And we appreciate you choosing Sansei for the start of your Maui vacation!

For our last meal on island, we stopped at Miso Phat. We ordered the Miso Phat roll and the TNT roll, Kanpachi nigiri, and Hamachi nigiri. The Miso Phat Roll is Spicy Tuna roll wrapped with Unagi and avocado, topped with Tobiko, Unagi sauce & Sesame Seeds. REALLY tasty. The TNT Roll is Shrimp Tempura and Crab roll topped with Ahi Poke and served with Unagi sauce and Agave Honey. The poke is seriously fantastic. Both are specialty rolls and live up to the tag line of “so big you could explode” – when ordering, budget about a specialty roll per person unless you’re really hungry. The kanpachi was vey good. The Hamachi was mind blowing… seriously fresh and like butter. We have been ruined until our next visit. We need to remember to order the Hamachi sashimi next time and come with a larger appetite. Good service, nice people. Prices are Hawaii prices… if you’re not expecting them you’ll be shocked. This said, they are island-normal and not obscene given the size of the rolls.

Koiso Sushi Bar

Reviewed By jwtripmaster

We are a family of sushi lovers from the NYC area and have eaten at many of the best sushi restaurants in the world. The sushi prepared by Hiro was fantastic. The fish was incredibly fresh and rice was excellent. The environment reminded me of a sushi counter in Tokyo (to call it low key would be an understatement!). I would eat at this place everyday - if I could get a reservation! It's a small place (10-12 seat counter + 1 table for 4 or 5) so definitely call for a reservation (I think they take reservations up to 30 days in advance). The lead waitress/hostess (who I assume is Hiro's wife), was very friendly.
