About the restaurant

Thank you for visiting Kenichi Izakaya Carbondale. An Izakaya is a type of informal Japanese pub. At sake breweries during the late 18th century, people in Japan began using sake kegs as stools, and snacks were served. This small plate menu was designed to encourage sharing amongst friends and family. Food is prepared in multiple kitchens and arrives as it is ready to ensure freshness. We make most of our menu in-house, from scratch, and use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

If no reservations are available, please note that we do have walk in apcae at our bar and sushi bar. We hope to see you!

About the restaurant

Hapa Sushi Grill and Sake Bar Lodo

Sushi

Downtown / LoDo

About the restaurant

The name Hapa is derived from the Hawaiian term that describes a harmonious blend of Asian and American cultures. Like our name, our food reflects this dynamic combination. The menu is based on traditional Japanese cooking fundamentals which are then amplified, muted, or mixed with influences from many different styles of cooking until they are something completely new: they’re Hapa. We have stretched the boundaries of creativity to develop dishes that defy all the rules while holding true to our roots. We hope you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun! Incomplete parties will not be sat until complete.

Everything was really terrific. Our section of the restaurant was rather warm- having ICE water served immediately would have been greatly appreciated. Food was amazing!

This place is a total gem. I like giving money not just for great food but for the effort a restaurant puts into bettering the social and biological environment. Bang Up to the Elephant was a great place all around. I was treated so well and would go there again next time I'm in Denver.

The food was great, the service was outstanding and the location is wonderful for me:) The only thing that I don't "love" about Apertivo is the fact that the food exhaust is sometimes smelt in the restaurant.

Main restaurant was closed for the season so we ate outside on heated patio. They served our drinks as we sat around the outdoor fire pit and we then moved over to a table when our food was delivered - which was perfect! Our server was very friendly and accommodating. The food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Great pizza!
