    The food was amazing and its presentation was well thought out. The place is a small and quiet restaurant. We were greeted right away and sat instantly. The servers were extremely friendly. The food was tasteful and delicious. Good portion size and fresh! They off 5 spice levels and they enhanced the flavors of the meal. Would definitely try again

    Love Love Love Thai Rice. They know it too. They know i'm addicted to their Thai Hot Red curry Crispy Duck! LOL And then, they told me to try the other Crispy Duck soup with noodles & yummy broth! :).,,,, Now I can't choose between them! UGH! So I have to go back again and again and again look what you have done now! I can't quit you! LOL I also LOVE the crab fried rice, the Thai hot papaya salad & Sir Hubbers loves the chicken wings to go. Oh, I should post a pic of those too Yummy :),,,, I don't know what they do to the crispy duck here, but it's the best I have ever had. When I get home, it's the first place I want to go. I have to have my Thai Rice Crispy Duck! OuiOui. Highest Recommendations.

    Well, I need to do my yearly review of Thai Rice and it remains a solid 5-star. I have been coming here for many years and the staff hasn't changed, food quality remains top notch and so does the ambiance and cleanliness. This family takes pride in creating wonderful dishes that are authentic with high quality ingredients. My family and friends have eaten hundreds of dishes and never had a single issue with one of them. Never sent an item back, always perfection. I highly suggest you try this place and fall in love with the people and food!

    Thai Papaya Salad
    Cynthia D.

    And we keep coming back to this little restaurant with so much flavor. The restaurant is small and clean. We have brought friends to this restaurant before but after being seated and while considering what to eat our friends walk through the door! And they brought their daughter & grandchildren so we all sit together. The family that owns this restaurant is amazing just great people. These are my favorites the Papaya Salad & Crab fried Rice with pineapple. The Rice dish is AMAZING. I love the pineapple in the rice it's a burst of flavor especially while the dish is warm. The papaya is our favorite also. We had Thai Hot #3. We use to eat it at #5 but it burned us down Can't wait for our next visit.

    Tom kha with shrimp.

    I had the tom kha with shrimp. I am definitely going back to try more. It was not overdone style wise and was just a good plate of food.

    Chicken Penang  curry, and Tam, Yum soup with Noodle

    Best authentic Thai food ever!!!! Ever since moved to Pensacola area from Northwest looking for a really good Asian food and I finally found it !!!!! The very basic curry are amazing with twist of duck meat instead of regular chicken that we are used to, papaya salad, chicken basil, TomYum soup and more ... This restaurant is family owned and they use highest quality items and their drinks are amazing too Very friendly staff I love Kate. She is running around and doing everything all by herself, but she always have that beautiful smile.. You must meet the chef who are cooking in the back there If you are in Pensacola area, and craving for authentic Thai food please try this place. You will not be disappointed.

    The most sublime service here from start to finish, as well as some of the best crab rangoon I've tried recently. Presentation was noteworthy and prices were very fair. Comfortable decor, kid friendly, with an appropriately sized menu that emphasizes quality. Loved the cashew sprinkle on the side offered for my pad Thai, and the potstickers were uniquely delectable. Sometimes I can get a "recently reheated from a freezer bag" vibe at similar places- but that was absolutely not the case here. Warm atmosphere, decently quiet, perfect for a long conversation with a friend. I would return any time!

    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. )

    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.

In addition to pho, we also tried the fresh grilled pork spring rolls, which turned out to be excellent. The peanut sauce served with the rolls was awesome, too! This is a pretty small place in the Bealls shopping center. If you have the opportunity and you like great pho, stop by and give 'em a try; you'll be glad you did!

    I genuinely don't understand the good reviews for this place. My family owns several pho…read morerestaurants around the country, so I'm very familiar with what goes into a good bowl of pho, and this was incredibly disappointing. The pho was terrible. The broth lacked the rich, aromatic depth that you expect from pho. And they seriously need to rethink their homemade meatballs. They were about the size of a dime and were white instead of resembling the traditional beef meatballs I'm accustomed to. I'm not sure what meat they use, but the taste and texture were completely off. The spring rolls were somehow even worse. They had pickled carrots, basically one piece of lettuce, and NO fresh herbs. How do you even go wrong with a Vietnamese spring roll? It was easily one of the worst spring rolls I've ever had. The service made the experience even worse. There were four of us. Three people ordered bowls of pho, and we also ordered spring rolls. Our waiter forgot to put in the spring roll order entirely. We had to ask him several times about them, and by the time we finally received them, we ended up taking them home. Between the bland pho, bizarre meatballs, terrible spring rolls, and poor service, this was easily one of the worst Vietnamese restaurant experiences I've had. Don't waste your money. There are much better places to get Vietnamese food. I would never go back and absolutely would not recommend House of Pho.
