I loved it so much. The food was very good, the waiter (Brian) the best waiter ever very nice and kind. Over all very nice 🥳

incredible food and atmosphere, mine and my fiancé's favorite restaurant in the city

The club is cool and the service was good. Did not try the food.
For $60 an hour, I expected much better from karaoke. System was just an iPad and felt cheap. Was not impressed with the selection as it was just mainstream popular songs. Karaoke sound system was awful. Sound was scratchy and sounded terrible. Even after the staff came in to fix it, still continued to act up. Eventually it got better but still sounded staticky the whole time. Mic kept cutting out during songs Microphone was way too quiet and no way to adjust volume or any settings (volume, echo, ect) No way to adjust sound settings for the music.
Did not stay the whole time and left after about 40 minutes Go to any tiny random bar in Japan and their Karaoke will be 50 times better for free.

Was entertained! Get ready to cook and spend some serious dough here for Korean BBQ. 🍖👩🏽🍳
We originally had reservations to another place but, it was too small to accommodate our large party of 8. We called Cobra after we saw postings of cool places in our area to check out in a foodie group.
We got to Cobra for our reservations and had a slight wait.
We parked on the street.
*Decor Was very inviting, cool, dark and hip. Bar was located in the front and we hear they also have Karaoke rooms. 🎤
*Bathrooms One guest noticed the Gender friendly bathrooms after making a quick stop in while we waited and freaked out when the teen girl of the group went to use the bathroom by herself. Not knowing what the fuss was about, I went to check it out and noticed the bathrooms located down a long pink hallway. Upon entering, there is no lock on the main bathroom door but latch locks on the 2 stalls inside. The issue he had was that there was an open urinal next to the stalls across from the sink. Please add a lock on the main door of the bathroom and/or a stall for the urinal. I do not want to see a man using the urinal when I come in or while I’m washing my hands. Things like that can get a little complicated I would imagine especially after drinks.
*Seating For our reservation, we would be sitting all together only to find out we were reserved for 2 different booths. They were right next to one another so we worked it out and were happy they accommodated our large party.
Menu The menu is a little tricky but know if one selects a Korean bbq option, everyone else wanting Korean BBQ to be cooked by guests table side will all have to get the same thing. My guests chose the one with Wagu of course for $70+.
Chicken wings were fire though and the highlight of the menu.
One guest got 2 different meals since she did not eat beef. Serving size of both meals totaled one complete dinner.
Drinks Oh and the drinks. They have really, really neat drinks. The one with the Cotton Candy drink for 13.00 was the hit for our party. Only issue is that the cotton candy costs $5.00 on top of the drink cost. One of my guests kept ordering the drinks for the Cotton Candy only to be told by a member of the party of the fee. 🤣
*Check When we asked to split the checks by guests, she told us we could only split the checks 2 ways. One check was for $474.98 with the automatic 20% gratuity and the other was for $ 421.54 with another 20% gratuity.
We have had Korean BBQ in other states but pricing here is a little higher.
Fathers Day experience was cool and different.

The food was pretty good for KBBQ and our server was very knowledgeable and excellent at his job, which was probably the best part of the experience. Unfortunately, I made this reservation specifically on a Thursday as it is advertised as AYCE. I tripped checked the AYCE Instagram posts, the AYCE menu posted on Yelp, and their website. When we arrived for our 9PM reservation, we were told that AYCE ends at 7:30PM…? It is not stated anywhere that there is a time that it ends, just that it is on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Walked about 40 minutes to get there and had no choice but to stay and eat. Disappointing that it is not advertised anywhere and felt a bit scammed.

Karaoke Only Review:
This place is fantastic. Pittsburgh is severely lacking in Asian-style, private room karaoke but Cobra is the new go-to for my group. The karaoke machine was fantastic and modern, had all the songs we could ever want including new and relevant songs, the cocktails were interesting and varied, and the service great. Go here if you're looking for your new karaoke spot.
We didn't have any food, but Cobra is also a yakinuku joint for what it's worth, so you've got that option too.

Very friendly staff. Tacky inflated Cobra. We went in October on a warm evening but thank goodness every booth had a grill because it was very cold and uncomfortable. Although not exactly like food in S. Korea, it had traditional entrees.

Food was great but service was better! Our server was Jordy, who was knowledgeable, attentive and fun. Every staff member we interacted with was great, made a birthday dinner extra special
The atmosphere is a bit over the top and the food is expensive. Good, but expensive.

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.

Great spot to have a nice little experience. Food was delicious but I do wish some of the meats could have been marinated or maybe give us more than salt and soy to season them. The meats were just a bit bland in flavor. Overall, it was a fun experience.
