"Kenichi is the essence of cool...the raw fish is impeccable and the entrees are impressive; I adored my fat little tea-smoked quail on risotto in orange miso sauce"  - Patricia Sharpe, Pat's Pick, Texas Monthly

"Kenichi has snatched the catchet crown...the yellowtail and tuna has been delicious, and you must try the mustard rubbed Colorado lamb chops; the menu items amazed me with their virtuosity and quality" - Dining Out with Rob Balon

The extensive menu features innovative dishes by talented head chef Shane Stark:  the black cod will literally melt-in-your-mouth, the Texas-raised sika deer and the bamboo salmon are outstanding, and Stark is famous for his Colorado rack of lamb.  Kenichi's impressive wine list includes vintages specifically chosen to complement Pan Asian cuisine.  Below you will find a sample of our entrees that accompany our sushi bar.
