Kenichi Aspen, est 1991

Had an amazing time last weekend for my birthday dinner. Everything was on point, especially the Toro Toro Toro roll. Can't wait for next time!

So disappointed. Took my girlfriend here for a special date. Took them nearly twenty minutes to even notice us and take our order, and I still had to flag them down for it. Pushy staff trying to upsell us the entire night, then rudely kick us out with a “you don’t have any more food coming so do you want something or not?” At the end. I know we’re not the big spenders you cater to at only $140 but jeese Kenichis, do better. If I’m paying $8 for a bowl of plain rice I expect to be treated with some respect.

Nice low lit spot for a date night in Aspen! This was one of the only spots open the week before memorial weekend, but we enjoyed our sushi. Good fish, good menu, decent drinks, and great service. Fish was fresh. We loved the special yellowtail shashimi and the salmon and eel rolls. Yummy. Was over $200 and we didn't even get more than 3 drinks but typical for aspen.

Our experience at Kenichi was top notch from start to finish! Everyone was so kind, and the food was exceptional! Our server, Zach, made the experience feel like we were right at home and went above and beyond throughout our entire meal. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend this spot to anyone visiting aspen!

Great food and good service! The crispy tofu was surprisingly good! Well-seasoned and great texture. Definitely the highlight of the meal since it has a very unique taste that I have not had before in other Japanese restaurants. Scallop was tender. The mushrooms and the vegetables underneath the scallops were yummy. The Godzilla roll was good. The strawberry on top was actually a good addition to the roll - a little bit of sourness makes it tastes lighter. The shrimp was a little heavy: both the coating and the sauce. But still good. Overall I enjoyed the quality of the food I tried here.

Servers were too busy, was always looking for a server the whole night. Foods come in small quantities (consider the price) but taste okay. Salmon was not so good in quality.

A beautiful restaurant with wonderful sushi. Their tuna tataki melts in your mouth. Excellent service. While celebrating my birthday there last night, we were given a free dessert and more importantly, a free Kinichi hat! Great experience!

We really enjoyed a lovely dinner for 4 at Kenichi Aspen last evening. They have a nice assortment of cocktails and a great selection of saki, plus imported beers. We shared 3 sushi rolls (green tail roll, Blake roll, and Tora Tora Tora roll, a nightly special) and three Entrees (Miso black cod, lobster tacos, and spicy tuna on crispy rice cakes, my favorite). Every item was delicious, and the kitchen thoughtfully adjusted the portions, so each of us got to try everything. Our server,Jue, was a delight and took good care of us throughout the evening. It was just the right amount of food for 4.
