★★★★★ 5.0 Kevin Warden · Dec 2025

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!

★★★★★ 5.0 Alex T · Apr 2025

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!

★★★★★ 5.0 Tian G · Jan 2022

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.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Z Z · Dec 2024

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.

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.
