Sensei Sushi Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Kauai

By the end of the day food quality is the only what matters when you go out. This place got that right. We ordered quite a few items and every single one was five stars. Big kudos to chef! Unfortunately, there's always a BUT. I wish management would have enough ambitions to bring this place up to all five stars dining experience. Please!!!! Kill that absolutely incompatible annoying classical play list. This kind of music isn't for sushi restaurant!!! Please!!!! Change TV channels. Football isn't a chanel to play in sushi place!!!

Hopefully, management will take it seriously. P.S. If the management would still want to make the dining experience 5+ stars, please offer half of a passion fruit as a complimentary dessert. It pairs super with your food and bring authentic...

Bottom line: If you don’t eat here, your taste buds are missing out on their purpose in life. I’ll be back. Probably too soon. Probably...

I recently dined at this sushi restaurant and found the overall experience to be mixed. The food was decent, though nothing particularly stood out. I ordered a bento box, which included a side salad; however, the dressing was unexpectedly sweet and heavy—more reminiscent of frosting mixed with mayonnaise than a traditional Japanese-style dressing.

The chicken karaage portion was quite small, resembling popcorn-sized pieces. While the flavor was acceptable, the serving size and presentation left something to be desired. Additionally, I had requested hot green tea, but was instead served oolong tea. Though a small mistake, it did reflect a lapse in attention to detail.

Overall, while the restaurant has potential, a few adjustments in both the kitchen and service could greatly enhance the...
