" Had high expectations based on word of mouth, and Kenichi mostly lived up to it. The sushi was flavorful, and the tempura was a hit with our group. Service fluctuated throughout our dinner - some staff were attentive while others seemed distracted. Hence, I give it a solid 4 rating. It’s worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a fun time at Kenichi! The sushi was among the freshest and tastiest I've had, although I feel that the roll sizes could be a little bigger. The wait staff was friendly, and they shared excellent recommendations for drinks. An all-around good experience, and I would return without hesitation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enjoyable dinner at Kenichi! The ambiance creates a different vibe, elevated yet welcoming. The sushi was fresh, but I feel the portions ran small for the price. Service was attentive, and I left feeling satisfied overall. Would consider coming back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Kenichi was mostly positive. The place has a great vibe, and the sushi was generally quite delicious. There were a couple of issues with timing; our appetizers came out after our main courses. Nonetheless, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the quality of the food made it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Kenichi left us quite satisfied! The sushi selection was extensive and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. My personal favorite was the torched salmon, which was a culinary highlight. The service was attentive but not overpowering, allowing us to enjoy our meal at our own pace. A must-visit in Aspen!

" An overall enjoyable experience, but the portions could stand to be heftier for the price. The tuna sashimi literally melted in my mouth, great quality! The staff did their best to accommodate, but it felt a little hectic at times. I'd recommend it for a laid-back dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic ambiance with a buzzing atmosphere! The food came out quickly, and while I loved my tempura, the sushi was a bit ordinary compared to the hype. That said, the staff made our experience fun and engaging, and the drinks were top-notch. Worth a visit, but temper your expectations a bit. " (*Curated Review*)
