This was our first time visiting Nanbu. We were excited trying a new ramen place. From the other…read morereviews this place seemed to be a decent place to try ramen at. We ordered the Sake Maki rolls to start with. For $18 you would think the rolls would be larger. The pieces were small but, at least the salmon taste fresh and didn't smell fishy. Wife got the Nanbu Ramen which had a really sweet broth. We've had plenty of ramen all over the US and this one can be considered a dessert ramen with how sweet the broth was. The broth overpowered everything else and we couldn't overlook the sweetness. I got the Beef Bulgogi rice bowl. Nothing to rave about. Some of the meat was juicy and some were overcooked. The pickled cucumber and rice were the highlights of the dish. The kimchi and carrots did not bring anything to the table. Definitely a Japanese fusion place that needs a little bit more work. Left hungry and wanting more so we went and got Chicken nuggies from Mickey D's lol...

TONS of options for all palates. The bar is a great starting point, if you do that kind of thing. My wife's Pineapple Upside-Down Martini was amazing! And it just got better from there. Our table shared a sampling of dim sum & steamed buns, short ribs, & more and every appetizer was spectacular. The food is served hot (where applicable) and exceptionally fresh, like the kitchen knows they are preparing something special just for YOU. If it wasn't my father-in-law's duck or my brother-in-law's coconut curry, then it was the ginormous plate of General's Chicken my wife & I shared. Every plate was SENSATIONAL! The dining room is very spacious and you could even make reservations if you have a larger party. Prices are pretty reasonable, but for the portion size and the quality of the food, the value is off the chart. It is one of the best Asian eateries in P'Cola, hands down.

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.

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. )

Everything tasted the fresh & was enjoyable. With that being said.. the ramen! It was actually REALLY GOOD! The portion was HUGE! And it was packed with flavor. I've traveled all over Asia and lived in SoCal for 8 years so I'd say I've had it all. This stuff was pretty freaking good. Could it be improved? Yes I'm sure. But it was awesome. The ambiance was nice. It felt very local off the beaten path. It was a darker setting which was nice to take the stress off the eyes and feel like you get a bit of privacy. I only went once but had I known it was this good I probably would have been back multiple times over the two weeks I was in town.
