Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar

My girlfriend and I went for happy hour and were very disappointed by the cocktails. We both had the Emperor Mojito and we could barely taste the alcohol (although they were $12 each). The sushi was average and the atmosphere was nice. The servers were very polite and friendly. If you’re going for happy hour don’t waste your money on cocktails.

Went for dinner after a show. We had reservations and sat in the dining room where we STILL got happy hour prices. Food AND cocktails are fantastic. Definitely Aloha Asian Fusion. For a girl from Hawaii, it doesn't get better than this. Sushi and sashimi were fresh, only complaint, cut back on the pepper jelly type sauce. Seemed to be on everything. But maybe it just wasn't my favorite. Truffle furikake fries, yum!! Shrimp was so ONO!!

What a beautiful setting at this Seattle location. My friend is a frequent customer at Hawaii location and was extremely excited to stumble upon Sansei Seattle. No reservation, no lines, prompt seating made him very happy. House sake, miso soup , tempura, sashimi, tuna roll, kept coming our way and blended in with terrific conversations on work, life, fun activities, motorcycle rides, and outlook on life. Sashimi- albacore tuna and yellow tail are my favorite and friend totally enjoyed. I liked his obsession with tuna rolls- that was just sumptuous. As one can imagine, Sake, fresh seafood and conversations could make one's trip unforgettable. Prompt service with courteous server help as well. My observations: 1. Tempura batter could be healthier- lighter, thinner, and flavorful and 2. The place do need to address stinky men's room. Well, time to try it for yourself. Go explore.

Had a great time here with my fiance. Fantastic service and exceptional sushi. We will definatly be coming back to this gem when we are in town again. Dinner was delicious. Dined on the sashimi trio. The maguro was so succulent. The hamachi, well lets just say my fiance ate two of the three and she is the salmon eater between us. But for me the salmon, well you are in Seattle after all. Can't get enough of that. Want to save a buck? Lets just say... Happy hour!!!!

Only one criticism: Ambience. They need to change their music selection and dim the lights more like the Maui location does... we went on a Friday night and it was as bright as a cafeteria. The food and service however are a 5. Love this place. We have gone to the Maui location for years and the dishes taste just as delicious here in the Seattle one. Butterfish is amazing and the Panko arugula tuna roll is delicious. Get it all. Can't go wrong except the Sansei Special roll is just a spicy California which is meh.

Best dine-in sushi in Seattle I've been to yet. Happy hour pricing is where it's at. Very pleasant, professional waitstaff and chefs. I enjoyed solo dining here. Very classy interior decor and aesthetic!

Happy hour menu is pretty good. Lots of options. Ordered miso ramen with pork belly and the wok vegetables. If you've had saimin in Hawaii that's what the ramen was like. Saimin noodles in miso soup. Pork belly was overcooked. Vegetables nicely done with a touch of spice. Not amazing but worth the price.

Awesome selection of food and drink. The truffle crab ramen is interesting, good to try at least once. The macadamia nut temporary was pretty good too.
