" Went for a casual dinner with friends. The sushi was fresh and beautifully plated. I appreciated that the staff seemed to know the menu inside out, which helped me choose. However, the pace of service could use improvement as we waited longer than expected for drinks. All in all, Kenichi holds its own in terms of quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is completely overrated. Among the many Japanese places I’ve tried, Kenichi did not impress me. While it's clear they serve decent sushi, nothing particularly stood out. I expected much more from a place with such a high reputation in Aspen. I won't return. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Kenichi! The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the chef's specials were exceptional. We particularly enjoyed the Godzilla roll, which was vibrant and full of taste. The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, making it perfect for a night out. I highly recommend trying the sake pairing with your meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place came highly recommended, and I can see why. The food was exceptional! Sushi that is both unique and authentic. Our server was friendly, and the atmosphere was fun and lively. I would absolutely return for a special occasion or a casual dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kenichi is hands-down a patent when it comes to sushi in Aspen. Each piece was crafted with love and true Japanese artistry. However, the nagging feeling of being rushed by our waitress slightly tainted my experience. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion, just be mindful of potential fast service. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
