Cobra

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

We checked out All You Care to Eat at Cobra yesterday evening - something that they have for $48 every Wednesday! We made a reservation a while ago but there were plenty of tables open when we went.How it works is that everyone at the table must do the AYCTE option. Everyone receives 4 oz of each beef cut (butcher's cut chuck-eye yesterday) and marinade cut (miso shrimp and pork shoulder galbi yesterday) to start with and after finishing the first round and all your meat is cooked, you can order another round of one item each. You can continue to reorder more rounds after you finished the previous round until your 90 minutes is up. The four of us were able to finish the initial round of beef, pork shoulder, and shrimp and order three more rounds of one of the previous items in our time slot! I was a little afraid that the food was not going to be good since it's meant to be an Asian establishment owned by white people. The meat was tasty and so were the mushrooms and banchan. I do wish there was more variety in meat. I think it's a little pricey for the small portions and time limit but worth a try since it's fun. Drinks were pricey but good. The ambiance is very clubby and dark with no windows. They were blasting Ariana Grande the whole time. If your vibe is not dark, loud, and clubby, you may not like Cobra. I'm not sure I would go back anytime soon since there's supposed to be KBBQ places opening up in Pittsburgh that are more authentic but I am glad that I tried it.

Overall we had a very nice experience. The fries were perfectly cooked and I loved the sesame mayo served with it. We opted for the Omakase that came with waygu beef ! It also came with a marinated beef (not pictured) that was not enjoyable. It was extremely tough to chew. Our server was attentive and checked on us quite often. The restaurant itself is very dark and the music is louder than I would have liked.

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.

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.

I went for my birthday and will definitely be going back! The group of us got bbq and it comes with two courses. We also got drinks and oysters. Amazing! Service was great! Our server was quick, attentive, and helpful. Love the ambiance. Cozy, modern, and fun!
