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've been meaning to try this place since it opened and decided to check it out for my birthday…read moredinner this year. Four of us went and we all enjoyed it. Our waitress was incredible, very knowledgeable and patient with my families questions about the menu. She made the experience that much better! Food wise we had: -seaweed salad (standard but yummy, 7/10) -spicy cucumber salad (a table favorite, 9/10) -potstickers (another favorite, my niece is ready to return for these alone! 10/10) -chicken clay pot with rice (really good, but I wish there was some veg in there or something? Kind of one note, but still tasty. 7/10) -short rib clay pot (I didn't try this but my sister enjoyed it, 7/10) -Panang curry (a go to favorite, my niece is very happy to have another place in town to get it! She gave it a 10/10, I give it an 8. It was a little fishy for me and I prefer more liquid.) -eggplant in garlic sauce (this was a mixed reaction. My mom ordered it upon the waitresses advice that it wasn't too spicy but it actually ended up being too spicy for her to eat. I enjoyed it a lot though the texture of the eggplant was perfect and the flavors were very well balanced although it was the spiciest thing we had.8/10) -creme brulee milk tea with tapioca (I love boba but this was kind of boring.6/10) -cotton candy milk tea with rainbow jelly (14/10, the best I've ever had I think. We will come back for this again and again.!) Overall it was a really great experience and the pricing was quite reasonable, we got all that plus a couple sodas for $108 before the tip. The atmosphere is good, well lit, roomy booths, very clean and we liked the music.

Easy parking, cool vibes, great service, and I would say I don't doubt that Xian Noodle Place is…read moreone of the best if not the best Chinese spot in Pensacola. However, in writing this review, I have to compare to spots I've ranked with however many stars, which includes different spots around the country, and when compared to the rest of the field, the ballgame's a bit different. First off, I'm grateful Pensacola has Xian Noodle Place. There clearly aren't that many options here when it comes to authentic Chinese food (I was trying hard to find a place when I landed at the airport). When I walked in, the service was friendly and seating was immediate. There is a bar area and there is a large seating area. Trendy remixes of Chinese pop hits from years past were being played. This all is super cool. As people know from my past reviews, beef noodle soup is a big factor in my judging. And I saw beef noodle soup options on the menu here and asked about them, because I want to make sure I'm getting what I'm wanting here. I'll give credit to the server - she was completely honest that the flavoring of the beef noodle soup wasn't the hearty richly-seasoned version known in Taiwanese circles. So I ordered the roast duck noodle soup and soup dumplings instead. The roast duck noodle soup is absolutely solid. It does the trick. The broth is a basic chicken broth, noodles are fine, and the duck is plentiful, as one would expect. Good garnish, it's tasty and does the trick. The soup dumplings, I would say, are perhaps not what you would get at an establishment that makes their own. Again, it's tasty and does the trick, but likely about the same as if you went to your local Chinese supermarket and bought the soup dumplings from the frozen section and then prepped it at home. Total price after taxes and standard tip? Over $30. One person, one normally-sized bowl of duck soup noodles and five soup dumplings with sauce. I know Miami is extremely pricey for food, so perhaps this is a Florida thing, but $30 is a bit exorbitant for food that does the trick but isn't quite spectacular. Again, I'm sure there are other options here that are tasty, but considering the different factors, when comparing to others in the game beyond Pensacola, the bottom line is I'd say Xian Noodle Place is solid but not spectacular, and also fairly pricey for the level of food served.

Crawfish or not, everything on the menu hits the mark, making it a go-to spot in Pensacola that we'll keep returning to again and again.

The restaurant is nice, but it kind of has an identity crisis of sorts. It was certainly some American type restaurant in the past, and you can still see it. You can also however see the Asian flair. Most importantly, it's clean and comfortable. Personally, I think their pho beef broth is delicious. The milk teas are, too. What kind of keeps me from rating this place with five stars is the pricing. It cost more than $100 for four bowls of pho and three milk teas. No starters, no desserts, just pho and drinks. Will we be back? I'm not sure, but I imagine we will.

Service here was top-notch. My server was incredibly attentive, kind, and efficient. I was in and out within 20-30 minutes without ever feeling rushed. Would definitely come back when I'm in Pensacola.

THE OMAKASE EXPERIENCE…read more Once a month, Ichiban offers an Omakase experience for $100 per person. To make reservations they require $40 down payment then $60 at the event. This is limited to 6 people per event. So book well in advance. This sells out quick. This experience we had 12 courses total. $100 + $20 for tip, that is about $10 per course. You will get your money's worth. It is not recommended for picky people or people who always have special request. The chef will serve you whatever he decides serve. Each OMAKASE experience is never the same; therefore, your experience is special each time. Most of the items served are not available on their regular menu. But let me tell, everything was delicious. The fried salt and pepper flounder does require some careful attention because there were fishbones, but that was part of the experience. It was designed to slow you down, while he prepares the next course. The battered fried rice cake top with assortment of fresh fish, spicy mayo and eel sauce top with sprouts and bonito flakes was delicious! I advised the chef that they should add that to the menu. Chef Lin, also served BBQ short ribs which was his grandmother's recipe was melt in your mouth divine. The Toro nigiri brush with his special soy sauce melted in my mouth. There was no need to add soy sauce or wasabi and you shouldn't. It was delicious. Same applied to the snapper nigiri. The seafood soup with miso was a definition of umami flavor. It had shrimp, lobster, some other seafood, and the broth was flavorful. The shrimp with spicy mayo sauce was savory and creamy. Today was June 15, 2026 and their next seating is next month which is already sold out. I booked this experience in the beginning of May. I would suggest to go ahead and call Jonathan and reserve your seat in August. However, here is a secret, they may make an exception and you can reserve this experience depends on Chef Lin's availability. But for those special reservations, I was told it will cost $150 per person. Still, it is only limited to 6 people (no less no more) per special reservations. I rarely give 5 stars, and this experience deserves it. I predict, by word of mouth, this will be hardest reservations to get in Pensacola since it is limited.

So fresh and so good. We also ordered the guacamole appetizer. I'm very picky on my guacamole and ofter. Have to add more salt but this was perfect!

Bathroom, all of the walls, outside, etc. is so well decorated and cute, I have never taken so many pictures in a bathroom The place is much bigger than it appears. Several sections with multiple bars, pool tables, stage for a live band, plenty of tables for seating. Only thing missing is outdoor seating/options.
