    NASI GORENG
    Ashley H.

    Cute vibe inside! Had a reservation right when it opened at 5pm. Butter chicken, roti, and nasi goreng is yummy! Beef rendang is a little oily for me. Dumplings are expensive for what you get, not amazing flavor on those tbh. Service is friendly and quick, especially to fill water!! Metered parking outside

    It was very good, but a bit too small and kinda loud. If you want something intimate it's not this. Food ranges $18-30. But you add extra $4-5 for the necessary rice and roti. Good!

    I've dined here twice in a very short time frame - it's that good. Non-negotiable for me are the curry puffs ($14 for 2pcs). They're puffed pastries filled with curried split peas & potatoes served with a pickled onion tamarind ketchup. Absolute fire. The pastry puff is so buttery and fluffy and the curried split pea + potato filling is so satisfyingly filling. Also on that list are grilled prawns ($21 for 3 pcs). They are marinated in a ginger & yellow bean sauce that really enhances the sweetness of the prawns. The best part is probably the head, but of course that's not for everyone. Delish. We've dabbled all over and tried a ton of their entrees, but I keep going back to the beef rendang ($28). The beef is so tender and flavorful. Even without a ton of sauce, it's so good over the bed of rice. Highly recommend. You should also order the chili & sambal sampler ($7). It's such a good compliment to any of the dishes you happen to order. They're also fun eaten on a prawn chip as well. The patio gives secret garden which is so cute. They also do offer tasting situation so it's a great way to sample their menu - I've never met a dish I didn't love at Cobi's.

    Cobi's is a beautiful restaurant with pan-Asian cuisine that definitely lives up to the hype. Upon walking in, it felt like I was entering into a secret fairy garden turned upscale, trendy restaurant. The decor is charming, feminine, and whimsical. I arrived a couple minutes earlier than my reservation time and was seated right away. Our server was friendly, gave an explanation of the menu, and checked in consistently to make sure we were taken care of. To start I had the papaya salad and the pork dumplings. I loved the papaya salad as it was tangy, spicy, and lightly sweet. The pork dumplings were standard dumplings that were elevated with the texture of crispy shallots on top. I got the African curry with roti as my main dish, which was insanely rich. I enjoyed the roasted peanut flavor combined with the African spices. However, I did struggle to even eat half of the curry due to its decadence. The roti was buttery, flakey, and a great pairing with the curry. I tried a bite of my friend's beef rendang and it was tender and packed with flavor. For drinks, I had the lychee blossom and the sour cherry fizz. Both were creative and delicious cocktails.

    Beef Short Rib
    Kathy X.

    I finally made it to Cobi's, and it's every bit as delicious and aesthetic as people say! The Service: I was really impressed by how attentive the staff was. Despite being a popular spot, the service was seamless and the food came out incredibly quick without feeling rushed. The Food: We started with the Kampachi, and that coconut drizzle is so good and fresh. The Pork Dumplings were another highlight; the crispy onions add such a satisfying texture. For the mains, the Beef Rendang is a must-order. It's marinated in sambal and is the ultimate comfort food when paired with the curry dip and a side of buttery roti. However, the too bite of the entire evening was definitely the Beef Short Ribs. They literally fell off the bone--you don't even need a knife! The sweet chili and tamarind dressing is perfectly balanced. We also loved the Nasi Goreng, which was packed with flavor. The Dessert: My husband, who usually doesn't even like dessert, loved the Thai Tea Pudding. While the pudding itself was delicious and full of flavor, the boba left a little to be desired for me personally.

    My partner and I came by with our dog on Sunday for this outdoor brunch. The little Patio is very cute and quiet. We didn't have reservation so it took about 20 mins for us to get seated. The menu is fairly small which I like. I'm always a big fan of non traditional brunch food. We shared the fried chicken, rice noodle and the roti wraps. All were good except just somewhat too salty for my taste. Overall we enjoyed the food and would love to come back to try their dinner menu.

    After three of my coworkers raved to me about Cobi's, I was finally in the Santa Monica area (actually just doing Pilates right next door), and I decided to pique my interest and confirm if the hype was real. Despite not having a reservation on a busy weekend lunch, the host was able to promptly seat me (a solo diner) in the outdoor garden area, which was beautifully decorated with flowers and bird-themed motifs. My server was honestly amazing - providing genuinely kind, attentive service and thoughtful recommendations that were well-tailored to my personal tastes. I ended up ordering a lavender flavored take on the pina colada, which I reminded me of my favorite Salt and Straw honey lavender ice cream, and was well-balanced while being strong. The shrimp char kway teow was also incredible - the fresh rice noodles were perfectly stir-fried so that they were still soft while being very flavorful, and came with quite a generous amount of large prawns. It's hard to find a spot that serves up incredibly curated, authentic South Asian food while having standout service and beautiful dining spaces in West LA, and I'm definitely adding this spot to my list of favorite Santa Monica restaurants and heading back soon to try more of their dinner menu!

    Cobi's is such a gem if you're craving Thai/Malaysian/Southeast Asian flavors in a really cozy, pretty setting. The ambiance feels warm and intimate..perfect for a date night or a chill dinner with friends. Service was good throughout, and there's a small bar right when you walk in, which sets the vibe immediately. Parking: Mostly street meter parking in the area, so give yourself a few extra minutes. Drinks: We tried the Lychee Blossom and it was pretty good..light, refreshing, and easy to sip with the food. What we ordered: Starters * Kampachi -- this was the only thing I didn't like and wouldn't order again. The fish itself was fresh, but the sauce combo didn't work for me. It was a lemongrass coconut sauce, which was actually delicious on its own, but I felt like it didn't pair well with the fish. I would've preferred something more bright and citrusy with kampachi. * Curry puffs -- sooo good. Basically like a samosa, and they come with a dipping sauce that made them even better. Mains / Sides * Butter chicken -- delicious, comforting, flavorful. * Roti bread -- must get (especially if you're sharing). * Grilled prawns -- amazing, and the sauce was fantastic. We were dipping the roti in it... chef's kiss. * Nasi goreng -- delish. Basically a really good fried rice situation with tons of flavor. * Green papaya salad -- super refreshing and bright, a perfect balance with the richer dishes. Overall, everything was great minus the kampachi sauce pairing for me. I'd absolutely come back to try more of the menu (and next time, maybe even dessert).

    Perfectly delicious meal with the cutest vibes for a catch up with a friend. It does get quite busy and reservations are highly recommended! Got seated at the patio which had such a charming, cozy, and intimate vibe. We did the Chef's selection menu which is known to be "chefs choice, best of the best" and it truly lived up to it. If you're unsure of what to order or want to experience what the top favorites are would recommend going on the same journey I did. Loved the variety of food that we got to try which were all bursting with flavors. The drink options were fun as well and paired well with our food. The servers are all incredible with great attention to detail and friendliness. Such a wonderful dining experience! Parked at a nearby street meter parking which there's plenty of. Be mindful of the signs though as some are only for 15 minutes. Can't wait to come back!

    Absolutely worth the try! If you like Southeast Asian food (Thai, Vietnam etc) then you will love Cobi's. Street parking with meters available. Make sure you're reading the signs. Some are 3hr limit and others are 15 min limit. Dinner ambiance is intimate, lowlight candle vibes with a boutique feel. Very cute! Our server was Jip who immediately greeted us with a warm personality and got us to try all the yummy dishes they were known for. Shoutout to Cam and Jonathan who also helped us! The food is crazy good. You MUST try the Scallop in Half Shell (it comes 2 ways), the Kampachi (coconut lemongrassy sauce is divine), and the Grilled Prawns (get the 4pc option, you won't regret it). Can't go wrong with Butter Chicken which absolutely hit and a side of Rice & Roti. Their desserts are simple and sweet. We tried the soft serve, Thai boba pudding, and the strawberry shaved ice. The soft serve was the best :) Can't wait to come back and try more! Thanks Cobi's!

    Curries and Wood Grill

    Fantastic late-notice res dinner made the start of my work trip feel like a vacay. Cute building on the corner, nice decor, cozy, and so loud & lively it felt like a Friday. Glad I booked via Resy. Place was packed to the gills with a walk-in line outside. Food was great. Highly recommend getting an order of curry puffs (2) and and order of roti per person. Good mix of veg and non-veg options. Got the Beef Rendang and the Mister Dal. Both leaned salty, but undoubtedly flavorful. Went very well with the roti. Perfect amount of food to get two people full. The staff looked stretched pretty thin. After we got seated, we waited quite a while before we got our order taken and they basically didn't return til checkout. Understandable, but noticeable. 4/5, would return again next time I'm in the area. Had a good time, was very full, and glad I went Plenty of dessert spots around the block open late FYI. Gelato on every block.

    The whole spread! This was the perfect amount of food for four.

    Everything at Cobi's is stellar from start to finish. The service is up there with the best I've ever had, the ambiance is perfect for a date night or family-style dinner with friends, and the food...don't even get me started! I've loved every single menu item I've tried here but the standouts are the Butter Chicken and Beef Short Rib. If you're not looking to splurge on the Short Rib, the Beef Rendang is great too. Or do what we did and get both! You can't go wrong here and I love that they pay attention to the details--every plate and bowl is unique, food is served in courses, the wallpaper and flower ceilings make a fun but sophisticated atmosphere. Cobi's is my new favorite restaurant in Santa Monica!

    If you are seated indoor just be warned that the tables are extremely close to each other and everyone is shouting basically. It's extremely loud inside, others can't hear you unless you are shouting. The food is good but priced high. Service is quick and friendly.

No leftovers, no over-ordering... a true test of discipline at a place like this. Started with a Thai iced tea that hit exactly right. Balanced, not overly sweet, and generously poured. Service throughout the meal was excellent. Attentive without hovering, and the pacing was spot on. I never felt rushed, which is rare when you're clearly on a clock. For my appetizer, I went with the Phuket wings. As someone who takes wings seriously, I can say these stood out. Crispy, flavorful, and coated in a Southern Thai curry sauce I hadn't experienced before. Rich, slightly sweet, with a depth that kept me going back for "just one more." For the main, I took the server's recommendation and ordered the Thai beef salad to balance things out. Smart call. The dressing leaned creamier than what I usually expect, but it worked. Bright, flavorful, and layered. I'll be honest, I couldn't quite finish it, but the beef didn't stand a chance. Every last bite. Dessert sealed the deal. The mango sticky rice, now famously known as the Cardi B Mango Sticky Rice, lived up to the hype. Perfectly ripe mango, warm sticky rice, and that coconut sauce tying it all together. Simple, classic, and done right. The space itself tells a story. Walls lined with photos of the owner alongside celebrities from all over. But what stood out more than the photos was the man himself. He made his way around the room, greeting guests, checking in, bringing real warmth to the experience. No hierarchy, no pretense. Everyone gets treated like they belong. Twenty-six years in and I'm just now discovering this place? Better late than never. Next time, I'm bringing a group and ordering everything family style. That's the move.

    They have a large selection of menu items, and it gets busy during dinnertime…read more If visiting soley for the food, I would suggest coming for lunch because there's less of a wait - otherwise the restaurant's evening ambiance seems fitting for a date night/celebration. The curries were good, and the pad thai was sweeter than my personal preference. I enjoyed the chicken dishes more than the beef, which was a bit chewy. There is only street parking.

    One of the best Thai Food we have ever had in the US! Being Thai and coming from Houston, Texas,…read morethis should say a lot! We weren't hesitant to drive an hour from the airport to give them a go! One year old self-start up restaurant owned by a husband and wife, both are super friendly and welcoming! Perfect representation of how locals are in Thailand! They made us feel super welcomed since the moment we walked in! Simple restaurant setup with two quick kiosk to key in order plus a cashier supporting the overflow of customers. We went at the perfect timing at around 11 am ish, right before lunch time rush and left right when the rush arrived. Must Try! If we could, we would have tried everything on the menu! All items we ordered plus the free items they made for us to try were super delicious and authentic; not to mention flavorful and the spices were on point! So those they love Thai-spice, don't be scared to let them know! We had/ tried... - Thai Tea: 9/10, came quite close to my mum's Thai Tea and perfect sweetness! - Pad Kra Prao/ Chili Basil with Fried Eggs: 9/10, love the flavor explosion in this dish! Definitely reminded me of local street Pad Kra Prao over in Thailand because they use thai holy basil and not sweet like those other Americanized-Thai places. - Kao Mun Gai: OMG! So so good, if you know how to make this or have had a good one, you know that it's all in the rice and sauce. The super tender chicken was a cherry on top! My 3 years old son demolished this! - 2 Types of Roti: 1) Banana Roti Mataba from Southern Thailand! Reminded me of home and growing up in the South of Thailand! 2.) Simple Roti, simple yet delicious with the perfect chewy texture - The dough is homemade by the way by the wife! - This simple but delicious homemade Shrimp Chips - my son loves this, they even gave us a box of it to go! Thank you so much guys! Kob Khun Mak Mak !

Even the crab rangoons are good here, and you can tell they're made in-house instead of coming from a freezer. Another big plus is that you can get legit crazy spice. If you like it hot, they will actually make it hot. If you leave a note asking for something less sweet or more spicy, they will accommodate it, since every dish is made to order. That level of care really shows in the food. I have been ordering from here for a few years and follow them on Instagram, and I wanted to write this because this place genuinely deserves support. Some of the negative reviews seem to come from misunderstandings with third-party apps and walk-in orders. Keep in mind this is a one-woman, takeout-focused kitchen with limited hours, not a traditional walk-in restaurant. Online ordering is part of how she manages everything, and once you understand that setup, the experience makes sense.

My experience was very disappointing. The customer service was unprofessional and rude, and I was made to feel unwelcome as a paying customer. Rather than listening or apologizing, the owner responded with attitude, which made the situation worse. Honest reviews are meant to help businesses improve, but deleting feedback instead of taking responsibility shows a lack of respect for customers. I hope future customers are treated better than I was, and I hope the owner learns to handle concerns with professionalism instead of trying to hide them.
