I had assumed I wouldn't be able to find much here as a vegan, but there were actually some great options! Absolutely loved all the food especially the japchae and I feel like the Korean food scene in Pittsburgh was lacking before I discovered this place.
I loved the food, but the service was very poor. I was expecting much more from this restaurant. It took far too long to get anything we asked for and we often had ask about our already ordered items. The server would rarely come to check on our group and when they did they often had empty hands and no updates!!!! Our reservation was made far in advance for my friend’s birthday. I tried to make everything easy for the server, the first time they arrived at the table I let them know that people would be paying separately and we informed them at that time who was with who. One of the couples were charged a gratuity fee!!! After dinner we stayed there waiting for the cupcakes that we brought to be presented. We stayed there so long I had get up and ask them to get things rolling. Our reservation was for 7:20 (our party had arrived on time) and it was 10 at that time. We finally got out of there at 10:30. Extremely disappointed with our service. Our birthday girl had fun but damn this is supposed to be a great restaurant?! Again the food and drinks were fantastic, once we got them.
We've been to Cobra for dinner several times and we always enjoy ourselves! Amber is an excellent host. The food is absolutely delicious. The cocktails are fun. Sure, it's a bit expensive, but it's totally worth it for a special night out. The bulgogi, especially, is *wonderful.*
Amazing food. Just simply a pleasure of an experience. The protein, wether you go for the Wagyu or the Bulgogi, is so flavorful and delicious. Our host, Amber, was very knowledgeable and is the perfect person to help someone who's never experienced Korean BBQ before. The pricetag can be a bit expensive, but for the money it would be hard to find a better bang for your buck in the area. Cannot recommend this place enough
We enjoyed our time here and most of the food, but it is expensive and definitely overpriced. We would try a bbq table again only if we had a large party and would order alacart over the omakase options.The wagyu and galbi were the true highlights. I didn't find any of the banchun particarily notable. The potatoes are better if you bbq them and then toss them back in their sauce. The daikon is incredibly boring, but we tried it a few different ways, the best of which was in the leftover galbi sauce and then grilled. There was also kimchee and two other dishes that I don't recall their names. One was some sort of pickled cucumbers; it was ok. The other was the best of all the banchans, but I am not sure what it was. Bokchoy?I was not a fan of the soju, redbull flight. It's also $24, which is kind of crazy because soju is so inexpensive (We usually buy a bottle at Korean restaurants). I was impressed with the Bubble Pop. The flavors blended well, and the drink was neither overly sweet nor tart. The decor and vibe were nice, and the bbq area was busy but not overly loud. We also checked into the karaoke prices, which I didn't see listed on their site. It's $30 for a half hour and $50 for an hour for up to ten people.
I brought my girlfriend to celebrate her 43rd birthday along with our close friends and I have to say we had a spectacular time. They are all still talking about it and I'm so grateful for the amazing service, delicious food, out of this world drinks and all around great experience! Our server Nicki was great and informative about the bbq table and menu and was absolutely great! Thank you Cobra!
Amazing meats!.. great quality A5 wagyu.. grill your own meats while sampling fun and creative cocktails.. nothing more you can ask for!
Very cool, great with a small group, excellent drinks.
Alex our server was PHENOMENAL. He explained the dishes and answered all our questions. Cobra Korean BBQ is a true dining experience. Every single dish was excellent ?
This place was pretty fun. Good service and nice Korean BBQ with plenty of options. Prepare to spend some money for a table of food! We also did the Karaoke room afterwards. Looking forward to trying again.
