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. )

Lee's is a great place for lunch during Monday - Friday (Currently, they are closed on Wednesday)…read more It's $18.99 with a choice of two proteins. If you need more, you can upgrade to all you can eat for $32.99. It also includes the banchan (fixin') bar with your choice of vegetable to add your grilling experience. Also include some favorite Korean side dishes like Kimchi, kimchi zucchini, and pickled radish along with your choice of sauces. There is two sides to this restaurant (bbq and hotpot). You have to choose when you are seated. The BBQ side is a nice and provides great ventilation. They have upgraded since they were Meats and Meats 2. The place is not filled with smoke from the grill unlike the other place in Pensacola. If you're looking for value, this is a decent Korean BBQ reataurant. Not a big selection, but their Bulgogi is better here. It's tender and marinated perfectly. The service is good and friendly.

I was excited to try this Korean BBQ/Hot Pot in town as there is barely any Korean BBQ in the…read morePensacola/Navarre area. There is plenty of parking in this shopping center and we came on a Sunday evening. There was a 30 min wait time when we got there. Front host was super friendly. I love the seating here as it made you feel like you were at a picnic in the park but inside with A/C on. There are 2 sections of the restaurant. One section is for the AYCE Hot Pot and the other section is for AYCE Korean BBQ only. So it's not possible to do both at the same time. Side dishes are very minimal and you get it from the bar. There is also a sauce bar as well. We all decided to get Korean BBQ. We also opted for complementary miso soup. The highlights of the night were the following: Beef Brisket, Marinated Short Ribs (must have!!!), and Shrimp. We also had the beef bugoli and spicy calamari but it was just average. The marinated short ribs was the best meat out of all them. The grille itself takes a very long time to cook. The staff here was super friendly but there is just not enough staff here. (Not our super nice waiteess's fault!!) It took over 30 minutes for us to get our second round of meat here. I also had to flag her down for refills and more meat. Our dirty dishes were built up at our table and I had to round them up and take it to the dirty dish bucket. Both staff members just looked at me said to put it there when I asked where do the dirty dishes go. Price is $32.99 for AYCE Korean BBQ for each person. That's amazing is the prices includes a softdrink/ice tea. I have never seen this in GA ever. Price for the AYCE Hot Pot is $28.99. I didn't get a photo the menu as I only had Korean BBQ. There is also sign for 10% discounts for first responders (Fire, EMT, and Police) which is awesome as I have never seen that back in Georgia at a Korean BBQ/Hot Pot ever. Since this is the only AYCE Korean BBQ/Hot Pot in the Pensacola Beach area, I am going to have to recommend it if your in town and wanting some. Enjoy the photos!!

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.

Brown Bagger Food Truck Pensacola's brown‑paper‑bagged…read morebeauty of burger bliss man, lemme tell ya, nothing hits quite like a food truck burger when the spirit calls for something honest, greasy, and downright soulful. It's one thing to swing into a classy restaurant or belly up to a fine bar stool, but sometimes an old coot just wants a bun in one hand and the smell of grill smoke on his boots. That's where Brown Bagger delivers the goods, and then some. I pulled up to that truck on a sun‑soaked afternoon, and there was this fella let's call him Big Mike on the flattop slinging patties like he was born flipping 'em. Big Mike didn't just make my double Wagyu smash; he gave me a PhD in burger philosophy between laughs. "You ever notice," he said while slapping that sizzling meat like a pro wrestler body‑slamming a bad guy, "a burger's only as honest as the fist that builds it?" I tell ya what that man could sell sand in the desert and make you thank him for it. He stacked cheese, grilled onions, and that signature Bagger Sauce onto that bun with the sort of focus you usually only see from surgeons and ex‑wives signing divorce papers. Those burgers? Forget just good they're the kind of juicy, salty, glorious mess that makes you smack your lips and swear solemn oaths you never thought you'd swear in public. Smash‑style wagyu patties, fresh fixings, and just enough attitude to remind you that this? This is the golden era of eating food trucks parked next to bars, cold beer close at hand, and a butcher's apron of stories to take home with ya. So if you find yourself in Pensacola with a hankerin' for something that'll make you slap your knee and grin like a mule eatin' briars, roll your way over to the Brown Bagger. It ain't just a burger it's a roadside sermon in a bag, preached by a man who knows his beef and your funny bone. Amen.

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.
