I haven't eaten sushi at Sansei, but I like their fish.
Ocean Sushi...hate the service. The sushi is "okay".
Norios...is that the little place on the Bay-Front side street? (Can't remember the street name) If so, the sushi is decent but the vibe is really weird--still not worth the price. I'm biased since my sushi-eating career began in Japan where the image of a "good sushi restaurant" assumes high quality food, but is incomplete without a personable sushi chef who talks to (and entertains) customers. The little place on Bay Front is run by a Japanese couple who I've never once seen crack a smile or make a friendly comment. We tried getting them to talk but to no avail. Been there once--actually twice but they ignored us the second time (we were the only two in the restaurant), so we left without ordering. Will never go back.
Now I've heard there's a great new Japanese restaurant in the Waikoloa complex. I shudder just thinking about how much it'll cost...but my friends at the Hilton tell me they've got specials if you go around (or before?) 5 pm.
I'll stay home and roll my own, thank you very much! :-)
