COBRA: Reviews & Ratings
We had a great dinner with friends on Saturday celebrating Valentine's Day. We sat at a grill table and had reservations. We ordered the rangoon and wings as appetizers. I really loved both! My husband and I orders for dinner shrimp, bulgogi, and asparagus. My favorite by far was the shrimp. I also love the sauce, rice, and additional items they bring to the table for the grill. I left totally full but not stuffed...which is always wonderful! We would love to go back and sit at a normal table and get some of the different dinner options.
The food was excellent quality i was genuinely impressed! Before going i didn't think it would be worth it, but the quality of meats they have make it 100% worth your time and money! The drinks were also fantastic - highly recommend the Suki if you like something sweet. Waiter was great and he explained everything well since it was our first time. Vibes were perfect for a group dinner - there was 6 of us and it was a great time!
The BEST spot for a celebration. I highly recommend booking a karaoke room! It's so easy to book online, definitely book ahead of time as these rooms are popular on the weekends! We had our own server that delivered drinks to the karaoke room, and it was awesome that we didn't have to leave the room to get drinks at the bar. The fun never takes a break while you're here! I cannot wait to spend another night celebrating here and try their food! Everything looked and smelled amazing, and food can be ordered in the karaoke rooms as well!
Good place to dine for special occasion! I absolutely loved the matcha tres leches cakes, it was so delicious so if you go, make sure you try this one! Fried chicken wings also good! Can't go wrong with whatever meat you get. Service was pretty decent, nothing out of this world but it wasn't bad. Not sure about returning necessarily but it was a good experience.
We loved Cobra! Looking forward to going back one of these days. I love the vibe there. It's very dark, which is perfect for me. It got a bit loud after a while, but the atmosphere is great. I'm a big fan of places where you can cook your own meat & seafood. It's always perfectly cooked and warm. While the meat was amazing, my favorite part of the meal was the shrimp. The service was friendly and excellent. Our waitress explained all the options very well, since most of us had never been there. I recommend going with a pretty big group. Then, you can try everything. The all you can eat menu is a great option too. It's only available a couple nights a week, so check the website.
This was my second time at cobra! We got the all you can eat. It is a little more expensive that other all you can eat kbbq but it all tasted really good. I do wish there were a little more meat options and sides. Service was good and ambiance is pretty dark inside. I thought it is interesting they have gender neutral bathrooms but it is not a single stall.
The Good: Excellent flavors. We did miso shrimp and Galbi beef for our grill and both were excellent. We split the scallop special for the night that was one of the best presentations of scallops I've ever had. Korean cheese corn was divine. We shared the bread pudding and absolutely everything was excellent. The Less Good: Service was....lacking. We ordered the corn...can we please have something besides chopsticks to eat it with? Had to wave her down for everything. She only checked back once on her own accord during our 2 hour dinner. Two warm bottles of water on the table when we arrived that were neither refilled (see below and notes on how hot it was) nor was there any ice available. We had to flag down the server for refills of drinks (ice tea) they were not proactively offered. It was HOT around the tables. I know...you grill on the table but the AC needed to crank if that's the case and it simply didn't. It made for an uncomfortable seating situation. Not quite sweaty, but very close.
The best double date spot! The ambiance feels so private, they have great bar options including nonalcoholic drinks and it's just a fun spot to be able to try something different in Pittsburgh! We did the BBQ and each picked what we wanted since 3 out of 4 people really wanted the short rib! There was plenty of food and we ordered fries to snack on as we cooked and they were a fantastic addition. Absolutely loved dinner as an experience!
