Reviews for 86 Forks Bar + Table in Pensacola, FL
Delicious food and great service. We will be returning! Pictures below are the pork ramen, ribeye bao, edamame, and peach sake.... The lobster rangoons were also delicious but we ate them before the phone could. Our waiter Ryan was so helpful and knowledgableon the menu. Read more
Awesome asian fusion restaurant. Tried the Hawaiian bao buns was pretty good but kinda sweet. Got the crisp duck which was... excellent I wasn't expecting so much flavor. The pork ramen was pretty good but the pork itself could use some more salt orseasoning. The strawberry boba was also a must try! Read more
Locate in the small ?alley? in Palafox. The feeling of finding a nice small place but really good food is wonderful ! I have... tried some Japanese food in menu. Love it and price is very much reasonable. I was in lunch time but will find another chancecoming back at night time. Read more
We absolutely loved 86 Forks Bar + Table! We?re from out of town and needed a break from the beachy fried seafood. We also love... Japanese style food. This place was a winner. The cocktails were delicious (I had the Zen Blossom and the Guava Mint Mule). Theyalso have a good selection of Japanese beer (my fiancé had the Orion). For food we did the veggie spring rolls, lobsterrangoon, chicken skewers, fried veggie skewers, cheeseburger impossible bao, chashu pork bao, duck bao and the shrimp ricenoodle bowl. It was all amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend the lobster rangoon- cooked perfectly and the orange marmalade saucewas killer. Definitely try the different bao types too! Our waiter Jed(i) was FANTASTIC. He walked us through the menu and madegreat recommendations. He (and the whole staff) were really accommodating of my dietary needs (peanut allergy and pescatarian).It was great getting to talk to him and he made our dinner super fun! He also gave us ideas of other places to go in Pensacola,which was so nice. Read more
Took a chance and stopped by here for lunch last week and was so impressed, I came back the next day! I've tried several Asian... fusion type restaurants over the years, but hands down this has been the best! I ordered a few appetizers both times to shareand loved every single one! They were out of the Thai spring rolls both times, so I'm looking forward to trying those in thefuture! For my main course, I had the Hawaiian Bao Buns which I was nervous to try, but wow... They were amazing! We also haddrinks and desserts and everything was delicious! There was thought out into the presentation of each item as well, so it feelslike upscale dining without the higher price tag and with a casual atmosphere. Definitely a new favorite spot downtown!

The place was like a hidden gem. Overall, the food was so delicious! There?re shareable dishes that made it easy to order and... taste a little bit of everything. Nice and fast service. It?d be more tasty if the duck was less salty and ramen got moreseasoning and had more meat ???? My pork ramen had only 2 pieces, kind of small portion compared to the amount of noodles in thebowl. I?d recommend this restaurant, fair price with good and enough dishes ???? Read more
Such a nice little fusion restaurant hidden away in a walkway of shops at the beginning of Palafox across from The Wine Bar. I... recommend this place to a lot of my friends as I?ve always had a good experience, and I love that it?s woman owned! The space isquite small but comfy and I love that they are open till midnight on weekends. It has a very speakeasy, upper class hole in thewall vibe. My first try of 86 Forks my boyfriend and I both ordered ramen bowls I got the shrimp and he got the beef. The bowlslooked and tasted great. As far as flavor, mine was hearty and I added chili and siracha which made it absolutely perfect and itwas almost too much for me to finish, my boyfriend?s was more bland than mine but the beef was very good quality and wellcooked. I?d say their ramen certainly won?t be the best you?ll ever have, but for the area I?d say it?s pretty strong, Idefinitely preferred the shrimp bowl?s flavor over the beef. Since my first experience I?ve promoted 86 Forks primarily as theyare one of few Asian fusion restaurants that serve bao buns, which is traditionally Chinese with an Asian American twist. Theirbao buns have become my favorite little treat. The Yum Yum is the best! Would recommend to anyone who hasn?t tried bao like thisbefore especially for a light but filling lunch. Would highly recommend their cocktails too as they?re always a nice littletreat whenever I visit at night. Read more
I love downtown Pensacola, the history and the beauty gets me every time. The breezeway of The Blount Building is the location... for many small businesses, including 86 Forks. The cuisine is Asian Fusion and I loved the idea of shareable plates. I firstordered a drink called East meets West which is a mix of Japanese and American whiskey with the addition of ginger, reallydelicious. For starters we ordered the toothpick lamb and the ribeye bao buns. The flavors were absolutely amazing, I could eatthat toothpick lamb every day! Our entree was Ramen with smoked duck, absolutely killer!! I added hot chili oil to mine and itwas just awesome! I will definitely be returning, I have happy hour on my radar for next time! What an absolute gem of arestaurant. Read more
