    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!

    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.

    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.

    Yakiniku

    I like the concept of the place. Night club vibes but yakiniku restaurant. Service is super nice, and they've gotten a lot better with timing since opening. I used to have to wait for a table despite a reservation and wait a while for the food, but not so for the more recent times I've been. I'm only giving it 3 stars because I think it is way too overpriced. I keep going back because I crave yakiniku and there aren't other places around. But the portions are insanely small, leaving even me who doesn't really eat feeling hungry after a meal. I literally rely on the [Japchae] for filling my stomach. That's the only appetizer/ side dish I'd recommend. The others are too small and too expensive for what it's worth. Dessert is pretty good though. I think for the same price elsewhere you'd get a lot better yakiniku experience with better meat and portion sizes. The vibes and price for upscale yakiniku but the food isn't there yet.

    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.

    Whether you're at cobra for the bar, the BBQ, or the karaoke you're in for a treat. One of my favorite spots in the city for everything above. Amazing food & service and one of the coolest vibes. If you haven't been I suggest you run, don't walk! You won't regret it!

    Our food was great, we loved the experience of cooking on a bbq grill and the atmosphere was AMAZING but our service was subpar at best. Our server didn't check in on us and left a sour taste in our mouths. When we flagged her down to ask for additional banchan (since there were 5 of us at the table and only enough to make a few wraps at most) we only received additional lettuce, nothing else. That's only where the issues started.... The prices we received on our check were not reflective of what we were told & ultimately, our server was uneducated on the menu and pricing. I understand the reasoning behind an automatic gratuity, but it definitely wasn't earned in this case. Overall, I believe if we had a different server, we would've had a much better experience.

    I've never heard of Cobra until a friend invited to take me for my birthday last week. It's tucked away on a small street in Bloomfield, I want to say parking seems a barrier but we used uber. I like the dim lighting and the seating in booths are very roomy, kind space between other tables and feels more private. I'd compare this to the style of cooking at the table similar to korean bbq but a little different (prefer korean bbq and larger portions of meat). We had the bulgogi, prawn (comes with 3) and the tokujo tongue with sides of mushrooms and asparagus. We also had the caviar for appetizer. Additionally had two cocktails. We did order the wagyu but they never gave it to us, guess they forgot but we didn't mention again. My opinion for our visit is that: the servers and all of the staff were so lovely, attentive, kind and helpful. The service was excellent and it was a nice atmosphere. Now the food: I did not like the prawn it had too much flavoring and maybe sour to me, hard to explain but it was odd. The caviar came with all of the toppings to try and small pancake things - it was my first time having it and seemed like jelly but nothing special. The tongue only my friend had but he seemed to like it. The bulgogi and asparagus were the only things I liked aside from the cotton candy cocktail. Bulgogi is delicious but not enough of it due to not much else I enjoyed. The mushrooms weren't the best to me but ok. The waiter gave me a shot of sake for my birthday. I give 4 stars due to awesome service and wonderful night despite not having the best food experience. I do love the presentation however. I hope to try the karaoke rooms one day.

    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!

    Whatever cocktail my partner got. He said it was okay but had a funny after taste.
    Steve C.

    For $270, for two people, we got about ten ounces of meat, two mid alcoholic beverages, mushrooms we didn't like, an okay but not good appetizer, mood inappropriate music, and an inattentive service who didn't seem to want to deal with us, couldn't remember to bring a fork, disappeared for long stretches. If I wanted that type of dining experience I could have spent $60 and went to TGI Fridays. Gyu Kaku in Philly is a similar type of dining expeirence that is lower cost, higher quality, more attentive servers, more appropriate music, and better value. If you want the experience of this type of dining, take the road trip to Philly versus spending your money here. Edit: The manager reached out a week ago to say this. Unfortunately, the GM then never responded back after their initial email. So, yea, I guess their average experience isn't all that concerning to them. (Sent 2/21/24)9 Hi Steve, I am equally disappointed with your experience here at COBRA as you are. It is simply not what you should expect from us. Given you took time out of your day to provide feedback, it gives me hope there is a chance to win you back and make this right. Steve, it's important to me that you know that hospitality and making my guests happy is what keeps me going, and I do not take negative feedback lightly. Please allow me some time to regroup with my team to further look into your experience. Thank you for sharing with us, Collin McNamee, General Manager

    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.

You are able to order drinks at the bar and bring them inside. Also, we were able to bring outside food into the room, so we ordered some pizzas from a place the employee suggested. There were two mics and two tambourines in the room...I'm not saying the tambourines were a good idea, but I'm not saying they weren't. After a quick lesson on how to use the machines we were on our way to hours of fun. I will say that the music selection isn't as large as other places I've seen, but it didn't stop our fun. If you are looking to kill some time and have a great time with friends. This place is a good one to stop at. It will take up some time and make you laugh, a lot!

He definitely thought we were there to have some fun so we just ate it up and flirted back because people who are comfortable in their sexuality can do that. The place was empty at the time we walked in but started filling up with patrons soon after. Needless to say we ordered a couple drinks and then an older lady came in and sat beside us and boy was she a trip. We chatted it up with her for a good 30 minutes while doing a shot with her. She was a lot of fun and had some great stories. Thanks! This is a cool place and I'd definitely stop back to have a drink and some laughs. Great spot for drinks with excellent service and fun patrons. Cheers :)

The owners do not care, the employees do not care, the police do not (evidently) care! Used to come here often, but after numerous reports of this being the case, I won't step foot here again. Additionally, there is a MINIMUM $10 cover fee every night, regardless of what's going on inside (nothing to write home about), on top of that there is a minimum charge of $10 on credit/debit cards. Meaning you must spend at least $20 to have a mediocre night here. To add to it all, I've left my card here once, I was able to come back the next day and get it luckily. My friend did the same a few months later, she went back the next day and the bartender (some guy) working started discussing with her how hammered he was the night prior and that he was still hungover. She provided her ID to him and he checked the cards they had and said "sorry, your card's not here. We might've given it out to someone else" HELLO WHAT?! Maybe we should check IDs before giving a card away?! Anyways she inquired how that would be possible and he responded "I don't know man, I can't just make it appear out of thin air". Lastly, every time I've come here the bouncers/cover cashier look like they could give 0 shits about working at this job. That's all, enjoy!
