A real insult to Asian foods. The only decent thing they got right was the sushi and ramen. But this "ramen pad Thai" menu item really urked me. I don't understand how you can fuse those two dishes. It didn't have the signature flavor of either independent dish. It was more like yakisoba that you buy premade at an Asian market. Extremely disappointing. Also please explain to me how slamming rice, chicken, cucumber, and peanut sauce into a bowl constitutes a Cambodian dish. I have a disdain for any asian fusion restaurants because they lack true creativity and cohesion. This is coming from someone who grew up in Japan and the Philippines with all kinds of East and Southeast Asian Foods. To add insult to injury, our server forgot about some of our drinks and nearly charged me for the wrong meal. I just can't recommend this anyone who truly knows the flavors of each region they supposedly offer on the menu. Please come here to pay California prices on the most mid "Asian" food you've had tho be my guest. read more

The broth for the ramen was one of the most lackluster and boring broths I have ever put it in my mouth. Ordered the dumplings and the filling was firm and condensed, odd texture but the ponzu it was swimming in was fantastic. My friend and I tried a sushi roll that was great in flavor but poorly built, every piece just fell apart as soon as you picked it up. Quite annoying. Service was pleasant, atmosphere is great. read more

If you're looking for something new/fusion Khon's is definitely a must try place. From the point you walk into the restaurant you feel welcomed by the staff. Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. The tapas to the main dishes every bite was delicious. The cocktails were amazing too. Please make sure to make reservations as the location is quite busy and small. Totally wroth the wait as you can go walking around in downtown. read more

Had a great experience at Khon's! Cute, cozy atmosphere and very attentive, friendly staff. We did have a bit of a wait for our appetizers but the chef came out himself to apologize and gave us an appetizer on the house, was very impressed!

First time at Khon's last night and I cannot believe I have been missing out this whole time. The restaurant is so cute and the happy hour deals are UNREAL! You can tell the food is so fresh as you watch the chefs build sushi rolls, ramen, and ahi tacos! The prices were insane for their happy hour being 3-6. The spicy tuna roll $7, pink tacos $9, duck spring rolls $7! Absolutely delicious and great bar drinks as well! The staff was so kind and overall 10/10 experience! read more

Khon's was a little smaller than expected. But the food and service were great! We started with the spring rolls, Krab Rangoon, and edamame. We loved all 3! The spring rolls were crispy, the rangoons were creamy, and the edamame was salty. We tried the lychee martini and Mojo. The first lychee martini was good but we ordered another one and it did not come out the same. The Mojo was delicious. It's their take on a mojito so if you like mojitos you will like it! For entrees, we got the house ramen, the worx, the surf n turf, salmon nigiri, and salmon hand roll. Everything was fresh and delish. The one downside was that the food took forever, but I think they try to bring out everything at once if possible. Khons is a great sushi spot if you're on near Palafox. read more

Prices are high for food that isn't good quality. Miso soup was very sour and seaweed was very chewy . Jumbo shrimp was more like micro shrimp lol. Only good fish was the eel . Service is very slow but understandable since there's only 2 workers but they looked at us weird when we asked for a straw . read more

They were really understaffed when we visited on a Tuesday night, unfortunately. We didn't blame our server, since she was apparently taking care of all the tables inside and outside as well. But, we waited over an hour after placing our orders, and we got our main dishes before we got the appetizers. We had to ask that the apps get cancelled because we were already late to the show we were attending. Food was ok, just overall not the best experience. read more

Khon's on Palafox - Ramen Pad Thai with Chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

First visit to this restaurant. It's your typical size for downtown and the inside was cutely decorated (including Halloween). A lot of reviews mention the wait time, which we had no issue with. I must state we were there late, though, around 8:30pm with just a few guests at a table or bar. The tables were quickly cleaned when we arrived and we had water and first round of drinks within 5-10 mins. Overall the food was good. We ordered beef short ribs with kimchi and they were decent. Expected a little more flavor but the Kimchi took it to the next level . The house ramen had so much flavor and I added the steak for an additional fee. Worth it! They were very accommodating, as I didn't want the shrimp (not allergic just preference). Unfortunately they ran out of ramen so we substituted with Udon. Good just the same and again, we were there later in the night. My mom enjoyed the fried rice. I would return for the ramen and maybe try a new item from their menu. Our server was nice and knowledgeable on the food items. read more

Staff here are horrible! We waited so long for our food and when we asked, the lady behind the bar she had an attitude. She walked away and told her coworkers "they are so impatient, I'm about to go off!" We couldn't believe this was in ear shot of us! Then the looks she gave us were unbelievable! Do your job and do better! read more

Right at the door, upon entering I could smell the aroma. I smiled and said to my friend, it could be what I have been looking for. It's a small place. Found seats at the bar. We ordered drinks. Sapporo and I spotted bottles of Sake in their frig. Asked about what's good here, as It was our first visit. It's smelled so good. Jason our bartender/ waiter pointed out the Pork Bellys said they were a favorite and we ordered two coconut curry soups. Also a super crunchy roll and a Alyxandria roll. We left super full..... Food could of had more flavors, especially the coconut curry soup. Pork belly was a lot different then I expected. Thought they were also a bit on the pricey side. At no time while asking for the very small bottles of the Snow Maiden Sake was I told it was $22. per bottle....what a mark up. read more

I've been looking forward to trying Khon's since I've been seeing amazing pics on Yelp, but it was a disappointing outing this time around. It was a typical busy Saturday on Palafox and we were able to be seated by the window, which was fun for people watching (like being in a fishbowl). We tried to order miso soup to start with but they were out - tuna nachos were also out, so we opted for egg drop soup. The soup was not good. Bland and very viscous, just not right even with a ton of soy sauce added. The rest of our food took quite a while to come out - the people that sat down right before us ordered, ate and left before we got the rest of our food. The sushi rolls (shrimp tempura and Dela Cruisin) were ho-hum and the Udon stir-fry was overpowered by too much fish sauce. All around, not a great experience. I'm hoping it was just an off night or maybe we just had some bad menu choices... read more

Inside is very chic, very new age, although small, seems to utilize its space quite well. Staff was in a good mood, not very "slap on a smile while I panic" at all. Portions on the krab rangoons are a little small, but presentation and flavor made up for almost all of it. Ramen was delicious, I couldn't even finish it all because it was so big. They ran out of Bok Choy so they subbed with extra shrimp, I personally don't eat shrimp a lot but it still made the ramen really good. It's a little pricey for sure, but it's worth a trip or two. read more

This place was so delicious! I absolutely loved the sushi roll I got. The service was a little slow, but overall friendly and we got what we needed and we were sitting out on the patio on a beautiful day so it wasn't too bad waiting on things. My friend got the lettuce wraps and they looked fire too. I would definitely say try this out if you're on Palafox. read more

I stopped here for a quick bite before going to Sandestin for a lecture. Their presence online made me want to try them and I was not disappointed. This is a Cambodian / Thai / Japanese fusion restaurant. They have a cute small restaurant on Palafox St. The bar is nice and sidewalk tables are available for you to enjoy a beautiful Florida day. There were several outside diners today enjoying the weather. Io I ordered the Pad thai fried chicken wings. They were sprinkled with cilantro, toasted garlic and peanuts while coated in spicy sauce. There were six wings / drumlets per order. I also ordered the spicy chili shrimp with grilled peppers and rice. The quantity of food was generous and very tasty. They also took time with presenting the food in a very appetizing way. The wings were packed with flavor, large in size and unique with a great flavor profile. It was a great choice that I would recommend. My only issue with the wings was how many times I had to lick my fingers so I would not miss any of the incredible sauce. The fried shrimp with rice was also not overwhelming with the spice level. Neither dish was over sauced and nicely done. I would loved to have tried the dumplings and sushi rolls but was already stuffed with good food. I had thought about ordering a small salad until the waitress advised me that the servings were generous and might be to much food. It speaks volumes about the establishment and staff that looks out for their patrons rather than just peddling food. Do yourself a favor and give them a chance to impress you too. read more

Wife and I came in for dinner while on vacation. Destiny served us and she was amazing! Super friendly, conversational, was always there ready with refills, and had a great smile along with a pleasant attitude. The staff were also very considerate and checked in on us regularly. The food was absolutely delicious!!! We ordered the edamame with chili and lime, which we do not regret cause it was super flavorful with a hint of spice. We also got the Banh Mi Slider which were nice and juicy. My wife ordered the Dragon roll and the Worx, which we will definitely be getting again when we come back. Overall, I can't rate the customer service and the food highly enough! read more

Walked in and there were non-Asian sushi chefs, it's a bit of a surprise but all our food came out really good. I really enjoyed the green monster,my husband thought the chicken and rice had a really good balance in flavor and serving was plenty. Our server was really sweet and nice but service was a bit slow. I saw our food sitting on the counter for quite a while before it got served to our table. Price point was a bit higher but this is prime location so it makes sense. read more

My husband and I tried this place a few weeks back. Small cute clean spot. We ordered the duck rolls, ramen and a roll. Our food took very very long but was good. Portions are on the smaller side. Our server was a very nice gal. We had a good date night the only issue was how long the food took. Today we decided to go again. We walked in there was several people dining but several open tables. We were greeted right away and sat down. We decided on food, ordered and were asked if we wanted our appetizers first. We said yes! About 5min later the dumplings came out. let me tell you! They were so good. I was so happy keep telling my husband how happy I was to get some good food after a day of fun In the sun. But then, nothing came...not even our water. My husband eventually got his beer but we had to remind the gal about my water. We waited and waited, finally his ramen came out. He waited for me to get my food, the gal came over and asked me if had gotten my food even though there was no food in front of me. She said it would be right out. I ended up eating a little of my husband's ramen because he refused to eat unless I ate and his food was getting cold I felt bad cuz he's a hard working man. Our server came back yet again and said my food was coming. By this point we are almost done with the ramen and she came back yet again to tell me "sorry they lost your ticket" WhATtt!!!! I asked how long it would take for my food, she checked with the kitchen and told me about 10min... we still had not gotten our other appetizer. . She did tell me "I can offer you some free edamame. I'm sorry what? You offer me the cheapest thing on The menu!?!? We told her no thank you we will just get the check and head out. We had to wait again for her to get the manager to void out the items we never got. We again waited and waited eventually she came back with our check. Not even a lousy 10% discount on the items we did order and receive. She just said sorry about your food. The reason I gave two stars is because the food is good. The only time I'd recommend this place is if you are not very hungry and have time to kill. Because you can work up and appetite while you wait. I did see the table behind us they too looked flustered and hungry. I did not see any food on their table and it looked like they were getting ready to walk out. We have not decided if we will go back yet. read more

Was looking forward to trying this restaurant for the 1st time tonight. Great weather so choose the outside dining option.

What a great find! Lunch for partner & I - duck spring rolls - crunchy and hearty. I had the house ramen with extra chicken. Absolutely delicious and amazing! Broth was hearty and filled with veggies & shrimp and pork. I added chicken. Ended up taking some home! So flavorful! Partner had Cambodian chicken & rice. Again, outta the park with flavor & presentation. Plum wine. Yum! No room for dessert. Highly recommended! read more

We had a hankering for some Ramen so we heard some mixed reviews about this downtown eatery and from other posts and word of mouth we stopped in. Ordered the House Ramen and the Panang Curry...The service and staff were top notch The Food was presented nicely but the flavor was just not there. Ramen broth was lacking depth and the Curry was bland. It was not bad, just not as good as other options out there. So I agree with earlier posts.....Great and friendly staff.....food needs a bit more ooomff. read more

Ok so I REALLY wanted to love this place. Truly. I will say that the staff is AMAZING. Attentive, personable and just plain awesomeness. The menu is diverse. Plenty of great options to choose from. However the sushi was very underwhelming. The rice was undercooked and there wasn't a lot of flavor to it. My daughter had the pad Thai ramen and didn't eat a lot of it. I will say- my expectations on Asian food are pretty high being Asian myself and from a very Asian rich area I have to say Asian food is somewhat lacking overall in the area. As for the vibe it's a cool vibe in the restaurant. I really wish I liked the food better but it was just ok in that regard. read more

Concerned We Have been eating at Kohns for many years and During our previous visit discovered a noticeable change in quality and quantity of food. In addition, it just didn't feel the same. We were looking for the owners friendly social visits with clientele and asking about our meal, however, sadly they were nowhere to be found. As far as servers are concerned, The gentleman behind the counter was not friendly at all of which was very odd and not the norm but the Waitress was friendly though not very attentive. We tried a special cocktail and it tasted horrible. Tried to send it back at no charge but they were not having it at all. I was Really shocked that they took a hard stance on this and not wanting a happy customer who is paying good money for a meal. Unfortunately, we were forced to take the price of the drink off the waitress tip. Owners rule cost the waitress a tip. I hope ownership has not changed hands. There is a concern for me that Kohns quality may deteriorate through time. Food quality and freshness etc... We will try visiting one more time to see if they can recapture the previous feel, friendliness and quality. I will also continue to be on notice for any future health related violations such as unwanted pests and cleanliness. I hope we are not losing one of our favorite places to eat. read more

One of those days when your friends eat lunch without you, forcing you to fly solo and find some food that would make them wish they never ate without you lol. This was the spot to make them jealous. I will start off by saying the service was nothing to brag about. I had to ask if you seat yourself, then seated myself at the bar, was greeted, waited a few mins for a water and had to ask for a menu. Come on lady!! I ordered the the Seared Duck and Pork Belly appetizers. The seared duck was a new one for me, can't say that I've had it before but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was like chicken breast but a bit more fatty with a slight game taste. Very good! The pork belly was super tender and flavorful and the sauces In both dishes were packed with great flavor as well. Ok, so now I'm done and ready for the check and I think to myself, the damn bartender hasn't been back down here once lol. So I'm purposely making my body language appear that I'm done and ready to go but I could not get her attention at the other end of the bar. The owner noticed and came over and asked how everything was and let her know I was ready. Other then the inattentive bartender this place was really great and I almost want to bring my friends there today so they can see what they missed out on. Highly recommend read more

This was one of the first places I tried when I first came Pensacola. Since then I have been back several times. Each time just as amazing as the last. The staff is always very nice and polite. Inside is a little small but I have been lucky and always get a table. Very modern atmosphere which is what I like most about it. There is also seating outside which is also nice so you can enjoy the downtown vibe and the beautiful weather. Food is of course amazing. One of my favorite things about this place is the fact they have a dedicated menu for vegans. I did not know this on my first visit. I asked if a dish was safe for vegans and the server said "oh would you like to see our vegan menu?" She was very nice about it and gave me a few more minutes so I can pick a new dish. All you have to do is ask for one. They have noodles, sushi, and so much more suitable for vegans so you won't be board getting the same thing over and over. No matter what you get it is going to be delicious. Honestly, this is probably my favorite spot on Palafox. read more
