We ordered the Sake Maki rolls to start with. For $18 you would think the rolls would be larger. The pieces were small but, at least the salmon taste fresh and didn't smell fishy. Wife got the Nanbu Ramen which had a really sweet broth. We've had plenty of ramen all over the US and this one can be considered a dessert ramen with how sweet the broth was. The broth overpowered everything else and we couldn't overlook the sweetness. I got the Beef Bulgogi rice bowl. Nothing to rave about. Some of the meat was juicy and some were overcooked. The pickled cucumber and rice were the highlights of the dish. The kimchi and carrots did not bring anything to the table. Definitely a Japanese fusion place that needs a little bit more work. Left hungry and wanting more so we went and got Chicken nuggies from Mickey D's lol...

My wife and I have been eating at fine establishments for over 35 years. Everything from a great $3…read morehot dog to $220 Wagyu center-cut tenderloin and everything in between. After reading some of these poor reviews posted for 86 Forks, it comes to my attention. Why would anyone finish their meal, pay for it, and then take the time to go online to post a bad review? Why not take the time before hand to ask what a certain dish or meal is - its flavor profile, spice(s), heat, etc.? We did ask the chef and she was more than happy to take the time to explain the dish's concept and let us taste prior to ordering. Read all the good and the bad reviews and ask yourself: 1. If unhappy with the dish, why clear your plate? 2. If not completely satisfied, why pay the bill? Why? Because it's simply not true. People like this are never going to be satisfied or happy. Never. Try 86 Forks for yourselves. Don't be afraid to ask the servers or better yet, ask the chef to explain the concept or allow you to taste something if you're unsure. Be adventurous and make up your own mind - you will not be disappointed. Please remember, this is not a Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Philippine, Italian, Mexican, etc. restaurant. Rather it is a fusion of the best flavors, spices, food pairings, and textures from all these cultures presented in a creative and distinct manner. Recommend the Bulgogi Egg Rolls and the Miso Cream Gnocchi & Edamame.

Will not be returning and a highly recommend you go elsewhere downtown. 1. Spare pork Ribs were frozen in the center. Opinion: They clearly heat up pre-cooked from the freezer. Sauce was phenomenal on these, if they are cooked thoroughly next time this could be an excellent appetizer. 2. Side of Bok Choy was also frozen in the center of the largest piece. Opinion: Heated from frozen and precooked. 3. Chicken Kung Pao Fried Rice was soggy, had zero flavor and was overwhelmingly salted. I would have preferred a 3.99 rice bowl from the freezer aisle in Publix over this garbage. 4. Pensacola Spritz cocktail was almost entirely sugar and tasted like a Shirley temple. Server was nice and ambiance was fine. Utter shame this slop steals business from local businesses that put in a respectable effort. (Comments above are opinions only based on a in person visit June 2026 and should not be taken as statements of fact. I have no way of knowing if the food is cooked from frozen. )

I ordered the Chirashi, which here is the chef's choice of sashimi over rice. When it came out, I genuinely felt like I was back in Japan. Every bite was incredible. Sushi chef Justin struck up a conversation and asked if I'd ever tried raw octopus. He had just gotten some in from Japan and offered me a sample. Also incredible. Turns out Justin is one of the owners - super humble and clearly passionate about what they're creating. Blake was awesome too; you could tell he truly loved the art of the craft. They make many of their sauces in-house and thoughtfully pair them with different fish. Blake even has his own creation he calls "Da Sauuce." I've had omakase in Hawaii and sushi in Japan, and I can honestly say this was the best sushi experience I've ever had. The quality, value, and interaction with the staff made it feel truly special. Justin said he wants the place to have that old Cheers TV show feeling - the kind of place where everybody knows your name and you instantly feel like a regular. I certainly felt that. I'm honestly jealous of the locals who get to call this place their regular spot.

But my tip would've matched the service I was provided and I am entitled to make that choice. I believe these fees seriously take advantage of your locals. I will not be ordering from Shaka again.
