    This restaurant is brand new and it's still in the soft opening stage so I'm gonna give them a little bit of a break on my review. I would give them 3 1/2 stars if I could so I'm gonna give them four stars. They're hot and sour soup is good, their green beans are good. Their sushi is decent and they have a large variety of foods. Large variety of foods doesn't always mean good. Their chicken is a bit dried out their eggrolls have nothing in them and I think they need to add a little more flavor to their foods. I do like that their vegetables are fresh and not overcooked. This isn't far from my house so I would definitely get there hot and sour soup to go. I would try them again maybe in another month but I think they have a little work to do. I think they have some work to do, but I think they'll get there. The place is spotless and the service is fantastic. They just need to up their game a little on their food.

    $1 beers!! Hellllllooooooo

    I haven't had Chinese buffet in so long! Usually crappy so this really hit the spot! Loved almost everything. Food all looked fresh. Taste was excellent except beef and broccoli had weird taste. Loved the coconut shrimp and salt and pepper shrimp. Wish I had room to eat more. Hubby liked the sushi a lot. And get this.... ALL beers are $1!!!! Heineken, Dos Equis, Miller Lite, Sapporo... $1. A few others too. Our server was so sweet despite the absolute low life garbage she had to put up with two tables away. Never stopped smiling. Will definitely be back!

    They have some curry options!

    We tried this place out at the end of their soft opening, on Sunday morning at 11:30. We were seated quickly, but by noon there was a short wait. The tables are bright and the seats comfortable, although we found the booths by the streetside windows to be a tad tight to squeeze into. The food was better than expected, tasted fresh, and had a nice seasoning level. We sometimes find the options at Chinese buffets to be bland and taste old, but not here on this day when we tried it. They do not offer sushi or hibachi, but instead focus on the normal items on the buffet line and we noted they were coming out of the kitchen quickly as items got depleted. That is a plus! I was particularly pleased to try the two curries they had out when we visited. This is a nice option to offer, and while we specifically went to try a red curry chicken that we had heard of and it was not on the line, the panang curry was very good and the yellow curry good. So the fact that they mix items up a little is also good news if you plan to frequent them. The ice water tasted fresh and that is good sign they either have new lines in the drink machine or had carefully cleaned them. I always use the water as a litmus test of sorts, so if we go back in a few months and note a difference I will update the review. They offer a few ice creams and toppings which is always a nice way to end the meal. The jellos on the line were ok, but the little cakes were dry and not good. The parking lot was a bit of a mess, it was cramped and had a lot of debris that should have been cleaned up for their launch. There was also one parking curb askew as you first enter the lot, which is across the street from Lowe's, and which gives a poor first impression. Overall, we found this to be a solid buffet offering for the people on this side of town and a welcome addition, and I think it will do very well if they keep up the quality of the main items people like to enjoy when they visit a Chinese buffet.

    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.

    Here is the completed review with your additional details incorporated:…read more I recently visited **Kalbi Ichiban** in Pensacola, Florida, located in the area of town where I grew up. It was good to return to familiar surroundings and find a restaurant offering a different dining experience. The interior is attractive, clean, and inviting. The restaurant also offers Korean barbecue, with tabletop grills built into several booths. It is a nice option for families, groups, or anyone interested in a more interactive meal. I went specifically looking for authentic Korean food. Having experienced Bulgogi while serving in Korea, it quickly became one of my favorite dishes. Most chain restaurants do not do the dish particularly well, so I decided to give Kalbi Ichiban's version a try. My waiter, **Carson**, was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. He checked on me regularly without being intrusive and made the overall experience even better. Carson receives five stars from me. The meal came with Bulgogi, rice, and a choice of soup or salad. I selected fried rice and started with the hot and sour soup. I also ordered a side of kimchi because, in my opinion, a Korean meal is not complete without it. The hot and sour soup was excellent. It had great flavor, was well prepared, and was easily one of the highlights of the meal. The fried rice was good, although nothing about it particularly stood out. The Bulgogi was tender and very flavorful, but it was wetter than traditional Bulgogi. Authentic Bulgogi is normally much drier, with the marinade cooked into the meat rather than leaving it with a gravy-like consistency. Even with that difference, the flavor was enjoyable. The kimchi was also very good and added the right touch to the meal. Interestingly, the hot and sour soup was spicier than the kimchi. However, different regions of Korea prepare kimchi in different ways, so the level of heat and flavor can vary considerably. Overall, I was pleased with the meal and would rate the food **8.5 out of 10**. After adding a couple of cocktails, I was also pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the final bill was. I would rate the restaurant **two dollar signs out of five for price**, making it a good value for the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere. Kalbi Ichiban may not serve Bulgogi exactly as I remember it from Korea, but it delivered a flavorful and satisfying meal. Combined with Carson's excellent service, the inviting atmosphere, and reasonable prices, it was an enjoyable dining experience and a restaurant I would visit again.

    Lovely atmosphere and outstanding service. This was our 4th visit and my husband tried the steak…read more He usually gets grilled salmon. He enjoyed the steak as much as the salmon. I had the Bloxi sushi which was delicious. My son had a poke ball and said the flavors were great. We also tried the hot ginger tea. Yum yum . We had an avocado appetizer that was warm.with shrimp and scallops. Very good. And a piece of turtle cheesecake was gifted to me to celebrate my birthday. We'll be back.
