    Salmon handroll and salmon sashimi
    Mal

    I went here yesterday and we were seated and we didn't get our meal after like 2 hours it was not fun and I was starving but our waitress was so sweet I really liked her. The food was good overall but just okay to me I got the Salmon handroll and salmon sashimi the fish was so so so fresh but my handroll wasn't good despite the fresh fish the rice was hard and the seaweed was making it so hard to bite I literally had to tug. Now for the roles I didn't have them but my mom and sister said they were amazing! The ambience was nice it was small and chill and had a cool window and some koi fish art

    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.

    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! The food itself was delicious and the ramen pad Thai comes with a huge portion!

    Great place off Palafox. My wife and I shared dumplings, spring rolls, sushi, and ramen. All very good and exceptional service as well.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Ramen Pad Thai
    Kyle Zyler C.

    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.

    House Ramen add NY Strip (no shrimp) and subbed ramen with udon
    Keelyn F.

    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.

    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. )

The basement hosted meetings and gatherings, including some of the original PFLAG meetings and Emerald Coast Pride. The dining area is small but cozy. Because of the limited space and low ceilings, it was sometimes difficult to hear the person sitting across from me, but that would not deter me from returning. Grant was our waiter, and he was outstanding. He explained the menu and specials and checked on us throughout the evening. My friend had the chef's special salad, featuring watermelon and tomatoes, and said it was outstanding. I had the Esquites salad, which was good, although probably not something I would order again. We shared the Pan con Tomate with Manchego cheese and the Albondigas. Oh my--both were outstanding! As a Sicilian, I fell in love with the meatballs and would return just to have them again. We filled up on the salads and small plates, so we did not get to try anything from the Land & Sea menu. I suppose that gives us a good reason to return.

My husband…read morehad made reservations for us and his parents, but as life goes, we were running a few minutes behind, so we called and let them know, and the lady who answered was very kind and told us not to worry. (This was a 4:30 reservation when they were not as busy.) They seated us at a table that accommodated the four of us perfectly. I should add that my father-in-law was in a wheelchair, and the ladies were quick to adjust the table settings for us so that he would fit comfortably. Our waitress, Roxy, was just as helpful as a server. My father-in-law also has dementia, so ordering for him at restaurants can at times be very tricky. She was ever so patient and suggested some items that could work for him based on what my mother-in-law shared are things he usually will eat with ease. But hospitality and service are only part of the reason you go to a restaurant, because let's face it, if the food were bad, who cares how nice everyone is. In this department, they were also on point. Roxy explained the menu changes seasonally. We dined on July 3, peak summer. I should also add that I am 7 weeks pregnant, and so I need to be careful with what I am consuming. To drink, I had an orange glow - with cardamom, lemon, orange, and strawberry (and the only item I remembered to photograph - blame it on how delicious the food was or on my pregnancy brain). It was refreshing and sweet, without being too juice-like. My mother-in-law ordered a moscato and my husband had a blond ale. We all consumed our beverages in their entirety before the end of the meal. I'll add here that the young lady who went around refilling waters was extremely on point. If our glasses were halfway emptied, she came around and filled them (which with how much water I'm currently intaking, she came by quite a bit). To start, we ordered their garlic yeast rolls. It comes with a garlic butter which you can add to the rolls, but let me tell you how it doesn't need the extra butter (though it is mighty delicious). I could live in those rolls. They were flaky and buttery, like a croissant, but in a yeast dinner roll. If it's on the menu when you go, please do yourself a favor and order. There are 4 to an order. My husband and I shared the 4th one, and I would have ordered another set of 4, but at that point I would have just been eating with my tastebuds and not my actual stomach. But they *are* that good! My husband and I both ordered the filet. I can't eat anything cooked less than medium, though I'm typically a medium rare girl, and let me tell you - it was still juicy and delicious, a sign of a chef who knows how to cook a good steak. The black garlic butter was heavenly. The steak was a bit too seasoned for me (but pregnancy taste buds are something else). My husband ordered it medium well, and he loved it (and he's only recently come around to enjoying a nice piece of red meat). They came accompanied with a celeriac potato au gratin which was perfect - not overly cheesy, and the celeriac (first time eating this) was perfectly sliced. My husband also ordered the cheese grits and collard greens. The grits were a whipped-like texture, soft and creamy. The collards were not something I could stomach. Blame it on those pregnancy taste buds again. My mother-in-law also ordered collards and they both loved them. For me, the vinegar was just too much to handle. My mother-in-law opted for the ribeye, medium rare with the broccolini, and she said it was "scrumptious, delicioso, and magnificent (in a French accent)." As delicious as it was, she and I could not finish our meals, so we asked for a to-go boxes. Roxy packaged them up for us, and labeled each box with what it contained and when it was packaged. Of course, when it came time for dessert, we were beyond full, but we ordered a prickly pear sorbet to share. And it was just what was needed to cleanse the pallet after such a flavorful meal. The coconut mousse was light and airy and paired well with the sorbet. If you're in the mood for some good southern fusion in Pensacola, Iron is the place to try.
