Have been a couple years in a row and always enjoyed the food and drinks. I would go back and they took incredibly good care of us this year for a birthday dinner.

Omg. This is my fave place to dine. I've been to both Snowmass & Aspen locations. Incredible sushi. Great sake menu. Great service. Did not feel pressure or oversold. Not overly bougie ... ( like most of Aspen) , yet definitely felt like fin

I am in Aspen. It is a staple in my visit. The food is always spectacular. The sushi is outstanding. The sashimi is always fresh and delicious. I've never had an issue at this restaurant and have always found the food outstanding. I recommend th

We stared at the bar where Lily and Aubrey are amazing bartenders. We then moved to a table where Bridget and Carl took care of us all night. The best food and best service in the valley.

As a self proclaimed sushi snob, I have high standards for fish quality and flavor. Kenichi exceeded our expectations! Excellent food and great, friendly servers. We will return!
Excellent, Great Experience!
Excellent experience, Zac the server was excellent, food was fresh and very tasty! Don’t overlook this restaurant for the other popular sushi Nobu restaurant.
Superb ambience and sushi
As you step into Kenichi the energy and atmosphere of the place draws you in. It exudes the personality of Chef Kenichi himself. The sushi is world class as is the service.
Food great but service is robotic.
The food is great. But the service is very robotic and and our waiters the two different times we ate over spring break did the bare minimum to get the job done. They would come over, introduce themselves, let us know they were going to "take

Even though we stayed at Snowmass Village, we took the complimentary bus down to this location because our friend's daughter preferred location because of the better vibe, and she was right. We were seated at a tight table, but not too tight that we
Nice night out
Food was a bit pricey but the service and the food were very good. A nice atmosphere as well, hip but not too noisy or crowded. I was a bit skeptical about sushi this for inland but everything tasted great.
Would not recommend
Sushi was mid, and cocktails were terrible. Overpriced in all aspects. They also charged to my credit card more than double the price of what I ordered, had to claim a dispute. There are many other places better than this one in Aspen.
We had an amazing time dining here last night.
We were a party of two, so since we went early enough in the evening we were able to get a seat at the sushi bar without an issue. One of our favorite parts of the night was watching the sashimi chefs plating the dishes from our seat at the bar. They
Waste of money.
The sushi was ok not great but it was ok. Portions were as small as I be ever seen and selection wasn’t great. In short, this was a waste of my money.

Deserves a much higher rating- tied with Matsuhisha for best sushi in town. An absolutely great experience even with a black out during our whole dinner. They did their best to get us as much as our food out as they could. Our waiter, David, was extr

After some confusion with a takeout order, I arrived to get the order. I found the staff less than polite. Short and rather put out to grab my bags, I thanked them and they didn't even say one word to me. Although the food was good, my two interactio

Our experience was okay, as sushi servers from LA we had high expectations with this restaurant since it was recommended from a coworker. Everything was fine, the server was nice, knowledgeable and the ambiance is upscale nightlife like. The music wa

The service we had was great, the sushi was good but insanely over priced. Definitely not a (best sushi ever) restaurant priced like that.
I am a local, and I have been to every restaurant in Aspen.
We attended a group dinner with 13 guests. The food was good, but the service was atrocious. Some people were still waiting for their first beverage after two rounds of appetizers and the main courses were on the table. When we asked the waiter, he s
Firstly, Maria (our server) was great.
Unfortunately when we walked in we were greeted by hosts that let out audible sighs and visible contempt at our arrival. It was 8pm on a Saturday, and closing time is 10pm. We ordered the waygu bites (among many other items) which came out cold. We s

Cozy spot to enjoy sushi
Atmosphere was welcoming. We had reservations for six and they accommodated us. Food was delicious. Great wine selection. The waiter was attentive. He even comped one of us whose food was delivered after the rest of us. Would recommend for sushi. Sev
Not a lot of vegan choices.
The best dish (and it was spectacular) was the eggplant dengaku. The eggplant is in a delicious miso sauce and it's served with a grilled rice cake. Highly recommend you try this! It's small, so get your own! The rest of the dishes we tried were

My star rating: * Totally avoid.
Why are you even open? ** Avoid unless the last restaurant on earth. *** Several important misses. Not recommended. **** Very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended. ***** Hits every mark of perfection. Best Japanese restaurant in Aspen! Go ahead
One of kind service! freshest seafood & sushi
Green tail , Blake , and Toro Toro still our absolute favorite! Brown butter noodles alongside their tuna trio a must!!! Richard and chef always go above and beyond to make sure we feel welcomed and taken care of. Everyone is so friendly! Their bar m
Great Waiter, Disappointing Experience
With so many fantastic places in Aspen, super disappointed we ended up with this experience. To be sure, our waiter went above and beyond – the disappointment never rested with him. Rather the taste/quality of the sushi did not at all live up to
Good but not great.
Expensive as to be expected in Aspen. Nice ambiance. Good service. Probably a 3x multiplier compared with good sushi in most city centers we visit. We sat at the sushi bar and watched the vary talented sushi chefs. That was entertaining...those guys

Kenichi is my favorite Japanese spot in Aspen, hands down.
There is a beautiful back room for large groups, and that was where we were seated. The menu is very expensive, but below were some of the highlights:- rock shrimp - miso soup- miso eggplant (mind blowing!!)- New Zealand king salmon - yuzu drop marti

(Jan 10, 2023) We came as a pretty big group so were able to work our way through a lot of the menu. The nigiri and sashimi was very good. For Aspen, it was top tier. I don't think all of it would hold up in other cities known for having really great

Who knows what the food is like, but the music is absolutely banger. A bit of a rollercoaster moving from "Rich Girl" and "September" to "ZEZE" and "Ric Flair Drip" but provided an excellent dining ambience all
Dear foodie readers.

Connect with users posting reservations for Kenichi Aspen
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Kenichi Aspen. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kenichi Aspen at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kenichi Aspen page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Kenichi Aspen to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kenichi Aspen!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
