Gulf shrimp fried rice...can't go wrong here
G B.

Everyone says "hole-in-the-wall" spots are good...they are right about this place. Super sketch on the outside, but lovely family vibe inside. Mostly authentic with plenty of options to choose from, don't be afraid to step inside and be rewarded. Great attentive service and pleasant atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit while you're in town, flavorful and satisfying. Missing a star because we've had better boba tea and smoothies, and there is definitely some upgrading to be done here...but that doesn't stop the praise. Check it out.

This restaurant came highly recommended by some locals we have become acquainted with. We decided to pay Pho Pensacola a visit to find out if the place is really that good. Well... signage outside the store says they offer sushi. Their online menu has lots of sushi rolls on the menu. When you get seated and receive a menu you learn they no longer serve sushi. So some of the kids were disappointed. We ordered grilled pork spring rolls, which I wasn't very pleased with, and rare steak pho. The pho broth was good. The food came out pretty quickly, and whenever we requested something it was provided in short order. The dining room is spacious and nicely decorated. The service is pretty good. But at the end of the day it looks like Saigon Oriental Market is still going to remain my favorite!

Best pho broth, banh mi's, the crunchiest spring rolls, and atmosphere around town! I tell everyone about this pho restaurant I always get the flank beef pho, with egg rolls, and a different fruit boba drink at the end. You can bring a date or your family of 5 to eat comfortably here. There's also a really cool vintage art through out the restaurant that have touches from back home. They also do online ordering if you decide not to dine in.

got my self a big meal with some rice and ricepaper roll with peanut butter dipping sauce today and it was so GOOD!! this is a real Vietnamese food yall have to try once. if yall looking for somewhere to try Viet food for the first time. This place is SUPER HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! super good food, super good service!!

B4. Pho Rare Steak

This place has what I call the "freshness factor", especially in their boba REAL fruit smoothies but really everything had an extra flavor zing I didn't expect. Lots of good comfort food here. I had an awesome experience a year ago too, and even though they don't serve sushi anymore they've perfected their pho focus. My husband wanted me to write that the Vietnamese beef stew was especially "stew-pedenous", he drank every drop of the broth. He also loved his mango smoothie! A spry depth to both the green tea and cinnamon spices in the pho. The service is lightning fast; a classic warmth to the ambiance that comes with a family run business. I plan to return especially on a chilly day.

The staff are very friendly. Food came out fast and tasting hot and good. Easy area to park.

Crawfish with Garlic Butter sauce

This was my first time trying crawfish here, and I have to say it was absolutely amazing. I always thought crawfish could only be eaten with Cajun sauce and that it was quite dry, becoming too salty the next day, but at Pho Penscola they suggested I try their signature sauce - Garlic Butter - and it was a fantastic combination lol. As someone who likes spicy food, I really appreciated the spiciness of this restaurant; you can request non-spicy or medium spicy if you like. This is the 3 lbs I ordered, and I have to admit this is the best Vietnamese restaurant selling crawfish in Pensacola. I will definitely be back next time.

Vietnamese born here! I was suspicious with how it looked outside, but as soon as the doors were open; I knew I was at the right spot. We were visiting from TX. Waiter spoke well versed in Vietnamese and was very considerate towards us. The food overall was good and satisfied by Vietnamese craving. All of their choices were pretty authentic and I enjoyed their menu. Pho was just as good as their rice plates. I have to recommend their Bo Luc Lac. For me it was a good 8/10. Their appetizers were pretty generic, but still overall good! Didn't get to try their boba, but their Cafe Sua Da (Vietnamese Coffee) was pretty good! Tip: If you're not used to how strong the coffee is make sure to have the ice melt a little.

Pho with rare steak, flank and meatballs

A go to pho place! I will definitely going back very soon. All around great good and good service. Money well spent with this family owned business.

Delicious pho and great prices! The steamed gyoza and crab Rangoon were good, but the pho stole the show . It was flavorful and comforting. Service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!

Banh Mi AC5. Sliced Vietnamese Pork Ham Sandwich
Solenna E.

The Brown Sugar Boba was amazing. The texture of the tapioca balls were perfect and had a really tasty sweetness to them. The Banh Mi were good, but missing the Vietnamese mayo. Would love to see a combination sandwich added to the menu.

Fresh Durian BUBBLETEA
N R.

First time trying this place, here's my verdict. The place is clean and decorated in their traditional, cultural decor along with the music, one would imagine they're dining at home. With old style moped, tv and a traditional menu to go along. They do offer Cajun, sushi bar as well as fries. Something for everyone and for all ages. I went with vermicelli grilled pork, pho, fried shrimp with fries basket, 2 sides of spring rolls (that's how I roll, pun intended ) and a fresh Durian bubble tea. Food didn't take too long, spring rolls were steaming hot and my customized bubbletea came out perfect to my demands. Also, first place in Pensacola I like, definitely hit the spot in my search for a good fresh fruits bubble tea journey. Presentation was nice, good service and competitive price to another Asian restaurant Tu Do which was my go to until this place. Pho was very aromatic and bold, in both taste and smell as if it's been simmering all day waiting for that customer who's going to rate them on a Gordon Ramsey level (harsh and honest). The spring rolls were crispy and none greasy (the way it should be but believe you me, not all places satisfy the same way). All in all, my go to (Tu Do restaurant I've been going to for over a year now) had been dethroned and I'm rating this place 8 out of 10 (and I'm very critica). Ample parking with a nice, serene and storytelling water fountain as from a scene of an old folk tale with koi fishes, water falls and people fishing like in the olden days. Keeps kids entertained for 5 mins, guaranteed ! Went back second time and got videos of the food to show and tell. They're friendly but the one male waiter just needs to learn the language but he can improved. I BELIEVE he can do it. He is very friendly and professional !

B1. Pho Special Honeydew boba

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will be returning back whenever I am visiting Pensacola again. I am a Pho-addict and this spot sure hit the spot. I had the combination Pho with all the meats & Honeydew boba smoothie.

We had a great time at The Grand Marlin Pensacola, FL. When we arrived, our table was ready and…read moreright where we wanted to sit. The food and service were excellent. Great place to go. I just wanted to let you know that it seemed like we had several drinks to our server when we only had one each and when the bill came, several items that we DID NOT order was on our bill. The total was almost $500.00 Dollars. Once I noticed and brought it to her attention, she quickly grabbed the bill, crumbled it up and made me suspicious that I just caught her wrongdoing. When the corrected bill came back, it was for $247.00 and it was what we ordered. It looked like she was padding the bill for her benefit. Please check your bill to make sure it is correct before you put your card down.

This is my third visit to Pensacola, and I fall in love every single time I visit. A colleague…read morerecommended Grand Marlin as a must do so I added it to my list. The restaurant is located right over the water. Parking is right under the building. Take the elevator up to restaurant and check in at the hostess stand. We highly recommend a reservation and they do fill up fast. We had a seat in the outdoor space. It was just a little warm for me, but large plantation fans gave a nice breeze. Like any good foodie, I had my meal selections already picked out prior to my arrival. I love a good calamari, and this was no exception. Crispy, well seasoned, and tender with a little bite of heat. We also ordered the lobster fingers. They are exactly what they sound like strips of tender juicy lobster meat in a light tempura style batter. This was probably the best dish of my entire trip. The grouper piccata was highly recommended by my colleague, so it was my obvious dinner choice. This meal was light and decadent at the same time. The fish was lightly breaded served in a bright rich lemon cream sauce. Crispy capers added a little texture. Wilted spinach rounded out the meal. This was an exceptional dish! We also ordered the filet. The steak was perfectly prepared and served with creamy whipped potatoes. After such a beautiful dinner, we opted to take dinner to go. The key lime pie was also highly recommended and I can confirm this first hand. The coconut macadamia graham cracker crust made this an exceptional dessert.

Our daughter wanted to visit Sushi Masa to celebrate her birthday this year. Okay, no problem,…read morewe'll go for lunch with a group of six (one of which is a kid). Let's start with the food... the AYCE sushi option includes several items other than sushi. Things like gyoza, fried rice, teriyaki chicken, fish, or vegetables, tempura, miso soup, etc. The big bonus is that the meal also includes a soft drink and ice cream for dessert. At $20.95 this seems like a great deal. There certainly aren't endless options to the sushi, no spider roll or cowboy roll at lunch time. Also, no beef teriyaki or tonkatsu. But I don't think complaining is valid based on the price. The place is decorated with Japanese style artwork on the walls. It's pretty clean for as busy as it is. And the hosts are good about greeting patrons upon entry. The server was okay. Drinks went dry a few times and ordering additional food was delayed here and there, but they were pleasant and when present they got the job done. My only comment about questionable process is this... like many other establishments, parties of six or more are charged an automatic 18% gratuity. This isn't the issue, the tip was on the bill, the server didn't mention anything. Ok fine, the notice is on the menu. Bet when the credit card slip came for signature, a tip was requested on the slip, with recommended amounts provided. No mention was made that the tip was included on the bill. A lot of folks might unknowingly "DOUBLE TIP." I think it's good practice to mention that patrons can augment the tip if they wish, but remind them that the tip was included. Overall, the experience was pretty good. I imagine we'll be back at some point.

I ate here for lunch and All You Can Eat is $20.95. They a decent selection from appetizer,…read moretempura, teriyaki entrees, fried rice, various sushi rolls, and more. Sodas are included with the price. For $20.95 AYCE is reasonable for lunch. This why I gave them four stars. Service was decent. She was very attentive.

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.

Outstanding atmosphere, owner keeps to traditions for anyone who has been or lived in Japan. Food…read morequality above reproach, from a critic of 17 years, job well done. Staff was attentive, even while training another. Can't say enough about the sashimi, the yellowtail is by far the best I've had in 17 years, lived all over and outside the country. Drink selection is infamous, recommend the Aladdin, hold onto your seat. Overall 10/10. Can't see a single area that needs improvement based on a first time visit. Shocked that this place has a 3.9 on Yelp. If 3.9 turns away others then so be it, more food and availability for a return visit. Job well done Ichiban team.
