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.

See comments below on the complete failure of all the items ordered at this restaurant. The lack of…read moreeffort and the outrageous pricing in comparison is evident from the initial bite. 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. )

Dinner Plates are large enough for two people. Food appeared fresh and arrived hot…read more Service was very lively with strong communication often. Very attentive and happy server. Ambiance was good and, despite the full house, the noise level was comfortable.

Best thing: The boutique location in downtown Fairhope (it serves its purpose as a quick Asian spot…read moreif you just need something nearby). Type of Food: Asian Fusion / Pan-Asian (featuring a mix of Japanese sushi, Hibachi, Chinese classics, Thai noodle dishes, and Vietnamese Pho). Wok by d'Bay | Local Chinese Foods Review: Wok By D'Bay is located in a nice boutique area on Fairhope Ave, but unfortunately, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. I placed a takeout order, and it quickly became obvious that takeout customers are not a priority here. The staff focused heavily on seating and serving the people walking in for tables instead. To make matters worse, there was almost zero communication about the status of my order, and my food sat completed behind the counter for quite a while before anyone finally handed it to me (didn't know at the time). When I finally got the food, it was just okay--nothing special--and the high prices felt completely unjustified given how small the portions were. It might pass if you just happen to be in the immediate area and need a quick fix, but the lack of service standards means you are better off looking elsewhere. Cons: The service is incredibly slow for takeout, communication is poor, and your food may sit forgotten on the counter while dine-in tables are prioritized. Additionally, the prices are high for the small portion sizes you receive. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs down (I would look for good food elsewhere).

Wok by d'Bay - I can't remember the name of the salad, it has the crab. I opted for their homemade ginger dressing. Yummy yum yum.

The customer service was top notch amazing and they're was a cute boy working at the register too…read more But the food was amazing the boy suggested a spicy chicken bowl and it's so good I can't put it down I wanted some more after I was done. And the inside looked so cute and amazing and everything was so clean.

I went to all three connected restaurant/claw game hub places in the quickly Asian fusion, Chamay…read morestreet food, and Hero Claw Kingdom section of this little strip mall in d'iberville and was blown away. At Quickly they have a huge selection of every flavor instant-ramen/ramyun you could think of. The only ONE negative thing is I couldn't find any instant tteokbokki packs (it's my favorite snack food, legitimately). They also have a huge selection in their ice cream shop, korean corn dogs (do I need to mention I'm drooling again?), and abilities to make drinks. I got a red bull infused mixed drink and it was fab. They also cute kawaii toys for purchase in the store side. That brings me to the claw kingdom. WILD. I felt like I transported to Japan fr. I worked so hard and eventually won a little hello kitty charm toy and a friggin hedgehog stuffy. I don't want to talk about how much money I spent on tokens, it's irrelevant. Hahaha. Anyway, yall go check out Quickly, Hero Claw Kingdom, and Chamay. It's super cool. I'm rating a 4/5 because out of the 100+ instant packs of food, not ONE tteokbokki was found.
