My only negative criticism is that the Kitchen doesn't examine the entire table menu so that it can start prepping long cook time dishes before short prep/cook time dishes. The consequence is that those eating raw items get served and those eating cooked items get to sit and watch them eat for 15-20 minutes waiting for their cooked food. If you are going to operate a business, you need to know how to do it and make sure it is done consistently correctly.

Fine dining. Quite happy. My only comment is that I think they can be more efficient and successful by tweaking their Open Table settings. They do not accept same day reservations with the app, but also then endure occasional cancellations. We would’ve eaten here more if available same day.

Our $600 dinner was so rushed. We had no less than 3-4 plates being set down at the same time. It cost over $600 and lasted 37 minutes. I’ve never felt so hurried through dinner. We sat there and finished our bottle of sake thinking this would have been so much better if it had been properly paced

We are in the lounge area off to the left when you first walk in. The high top tables, chairs and booths were very comfortable. Our server was present and knowledgeable and their were always people filling your water glasses the second they were empty. We had the miso cod which was melt in your mouth delicious and rivals that of Nobu's. The edamame order was perfectly cooked and plentiful. The eggplant small plate was a burst of delicious flavors in your mouth. And the mega yellowtail roll special exceeded our expectations. Can't go wrong with the Manhattan (better than the old fashioned) and the spicy margarita was perfectly balanced and delicious. The only downside to our experience was it did take awhile for dirty/finished dishes to be cleared. No matter, we will definitely return next time we are here! Thanks for a delicious meal.

It’s hard to overstate how much we enjoyed our meal here! The flavor was over the top and the uniqueness of the dishes made this one of our most enjoyable meals while in Aspen/Snowmass. We had a couple of the daily specials and a couple of regular menu items. All were good but the specials were our favorite. Wagyu surf and turf and the Toro Toro Toro sushi roll were worth every penny. Try this restaurant, you won’t be disappointed!

We’ve been to keneschi aspen three times and always enjoyed it. Snowmass location was a whole different story. Reservations at 930 after a concert. They sent a message through opentable that you couldn’t respond to saying a table was available earlier if we wanted to change and then another saying kitchen was closing at 930. I was able to respond to an actual scripted text saying we were on our way. I called and said were coming and why the message about kitchen closing when we had a reservation at that time. They said they’d keep it open till 945. Strange and unwelcoming. Manager and hostess at front leaning on station and he even looked down at his watch as we walked in. He came over to my husband and with an attitude said the kitchen is closing ‘in 5’. That was it and got up the leave. Sushi bar was ready, even with seated guests and bar was occupied as well. Hostess said ‘I called you to tell you we had an earlier reservation’, which wasn’t true but couldn’t have anyway. Very unprofessional and wouldn’t recommend obviously. Owners should know about this interaction.

What a joy to have such a welcoming, smooth-running and all-round pleasant destination in Snowmass Village. The space was designed specifically with Covid in mind, and we had our own booth, more than 6-feet away from our our nearest neighbor. The servers are well informed and friendly, and the food can stand proud among Japanese restaurants is far more cosmopolitan settings.
