Open for dinner seven days a week from 5:30-10 p.m., Sansei Seafood, Steakhouse &Sushi Bar keeps the party going on Friday and Saturday evenings when late-night dining takes place from 9:30 p.m. to midnight. Whether you’re a night owl on the hunt for appetizers to accompany your after-hours cocktails, or you’re craving gourmet entrées, salad, sushi or succulent steak after a fun night of holiday shopping, the talented chefs at Sansei have the late-night dining beat covered.
Ohana-style dining is the norm at Sansei, where servers bring extra bowls and plates to your table so that meals can be portioned to share with everyone in your party. Sharing dishes is a great way to explore the many generously sized choices on the Sansei menu.
Award winners on the menu are must-try dishes like the Panko-Crusted Fresh Ahi Sashimi, Asian Shrimp Cake, or DK’s Crab Ramen with Asian Truffle Broth. For dessert, check out the Tempura-Fried Macadamia Nut Ice Cream featuring buttery pound cake, roasted mac nuts and chocolate caramel sauce.
Sansei also offers a large, private dining room perfect for a memorable holiday event with friends, family or associates. The restaurant’s beautiful cocktail bar is another spot to enjoy signature libations along with a premier selection of the world’s best sake. Nightly karaoke makes for lively nightlife on the Kohala Coast.
Sansei’s appetizer menu brims with choices tailor-made for late-night eating. The delicious Lobster &Blue Crab Ravioli is all the more savory with the addition of truffled shiitake Madeira cream. Other standouts include the Grilled Miso Yaki Chicken, Seared Foie Gras Nigiri Sushi, Maui-Style Teriyaki Beef, and Cajun Seared Sashimi. There’s also a dish known as the “Kenny G,” featuring thinly sliced shiromi topped with minced garlic, daikon oroshi and shiso with a tangy ponzu vinaigrette.
From 5-6 p.m. Sundays and Mondays, the Early Bird Special presents 50 percent off nearly every food item on the menu. If you miss out on the Early Bird, there’s always the daily 25-percent-off discount offered Tuesdays through Saturdays from 5:30-6 p.m.
