Kenichi Snowmass

Excellent service, great food. Super fresh.

I report that the food was outstanding but our waiter was insulting, rude, demeaning and absurd. To sit down in a high-end, high-dollar Japanese sushi restaurant in the Aspen region, and have a surly, scruffy young waiter start correcting me immediately was appalling. When I asked if they had mussels he said, "Sir, we are a traditional Japanese restaurant." When I asked if they had squid he said, "As I said before, we are traditional Japanese"-- as if my request were so ridiculous. I've eaten sushi in Japan for Pete's sake. I asked about the eel roll, which he said is just eel; I asked if they could prepare it as a caterpillar with avocado, and again he admonished me. Wow. Super-good fish. Maguro was outstanding. They did make me a caterpillar. Rolls were expensive and worth the spend. Where do they get this wait staff? I've eaten at their sister restaurant in Carbondale and would certainly choose to spend money there instead of Kenichi. Five jaded stars.

DJ, our bartender and server, was fantastic. Food was a bit pricey, but it is on par for Snowmass. Some of the best sushi we have had

The food is really good, ambiance is nice and it is in a great spot in Snowmass village. However it is way overpriced (even considering Aspen/Snowmass pricing). I paid over 400$ for a family of four ! (2 alcoholic drinks, 2 sodas, 3-4 appetizers, sushi and 2 tiny desserts). The Mega Salmon roll was the best. Service was ok.
