" I can't speak highly enough about Kalbi Ichiban! Every dish we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were extremely knowledgeable about the menu and helped us navigate our first experience there. We particularly enjoyed the sashimi platter—each piece was fresh and flavorful. The ambiance was perfect for a dinner date, and we had a fantastic evening. I will be back to try their ramen next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband loves Korean BBQ, so when we visited Kalbi Ichiban, we were excited to try it out. The atmosphere was nice and modern, but we had a strange experience with our waiter. While he was friendly, he seemed overwhelmed and forgot our drink orders twice. The food came out timely, and they offer big portions, which we appreciated. Overall, the food was delicious, but the service could use a little polish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Kalbi Ichiban was an incredible experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly from the moment we stepped in. We started with the edamame, which was perfectly seasoned, followed by the bulgogi that was tender and full of flavor. My friends ordered the sushi rolls, and we were blown away by the freshness! I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having just opened in Pensacola, I was excited to give Kalbi Ichiban a shot. The decor is sleek and modern, but some elements felt chaotic and overwhelming. The service, albeit friendly, was a bit slow. I ordered the shrimp tempura and while it was beautifully presented, it was underseasoned. My partner enjoyed the bulgogi; however, we both agreed the menu needs more variety. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I'm not sure I'd rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kalbi Ichiban is a hidden gem in Pensacola! I had the bulgogi bento box, and it was incredible. Portions were generous, and the food was fresh. The atmosphere was modern, yet cozy, making it perfect for a dinner date or catch-up with friends. The service was attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. I’d highly recommend checking this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" A group of colleagues and I came here for dinner, and it was a great time! The Korean BBQ is definitely the highlight. We loved getting to grill the meats at the table; it added to the fun of the meal. The service was friendly and accommodating. However, I found the portions on the smaller side for the price. Overall, a pleasant experience that I recommend for group outings. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was pretty good, but the excursion was marred by poor service. We waited a long time for anyone to come over, and our orders got mixed up more than once. The decor is quite nice, but I felt the wait ruined the experience for me. The bulgogi was nice and flavorful, and I heard the sushi is amazing. I might give it another chance if I hear the service has improved. " (*Curated Review*)
