This is the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. The waitress was rude because we ordered 7$ drink while we’re waiting for our table, never gave my husband his water, never made eye contact because we dressed like normal Yinzers. The host & Dj were really nice people though.

Really good. The scallops were the best part of our meal. I liked the banchan,I just wish I got more.

This is a really awesome location and interesting fusion restaurant-night club in Pittsburgh. The DJ was really awesome, the space was open and welcoming, the facilities were very clean, and the overall experience was good! The drinks were club-priced, but that’s to be expected. I will be back!Parking: Unsure what the proper parking is.Kid-friendliness: 21+ only at nightWheelchair accessibility: Actually wheelchair-accessible, which is rare in Pittsburgh.

We were anxious about doing karaoke in front of people so we got a private room. Worth it. Drinks were good as was the service. Same with the cheesy corn. It's definitely pricey but we'll be back.

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 a 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.

Excellent dining experience The atmosphere was really cool You feel very much alone at your table because of how dark it is! The shrimp fried rice was delicious we had the Cobra omakase 1 and the lobster tail,The bananas Foster is a must try!

The food was okay. Although there wasn't enough of it for three people in my opinion, but the atmosphere was wonderful. I loved the upbeat music. And I had my first experience with a unisex bathroom. That was crazy.

Went with my husband and sister-in-law. The atmosphere was super cool, we just kept wanting to look around at everything.The food...The ingredients were high quality and the presentation of the dishes was top tier but unfortunately we just didnt find most of the food memorable, which is what we would expect for the prices.We went with the Omakase 2 and added extra sides. We enjoyed the sesame potatoes and daikon best out of the banchan. The stand out meat for me was the galbi. Makes me wish the other meats had been marinated. If my husband and I would ever find ourselves back there, I would just order the galbi on its own.I got a side of cucumber salad and was not impressed by it at all; I ended up taking most of it home to doctor it up so the money wouldn't have gone to waste. However, my husband enjoyed his fries and my sister-in-law her kimchi mac & cheese.My advice would be not to order things just for the sake of having "An Experience," just order what you know will satisfy you while you're there for a night of karaoke and dancing.

This was amazing. The food was high quality and delicious, the atmosphere is very cool and it was so much fun to create the different combinations of food together on the grill. It is expensive but it is also a good deal of food. It's definitely worth stopping by and we look forward to renting a karaoke room sometime.
Swanky, sexy, and fun place for a special dining experience. Will go back for another special occasion!

Everything was seamless from start to finish. Came on a Friday night for some karaoke with a party of 6. (reserve early cause they book fast)Our karaoke room was clean, the song selector was easy to use and up to date, service was quick and appetizers and drinks were perfect (I suggest getting the rangoons).Can't wait to go here again and try the full menu.

Decided to celebrate this year's birthday at Cobra. Reached out to make reservations several days prior to December 9th. First, it took me several days to actually make a reservation because there is nothing in writing that clearly explains all different options available for seating/minimum spend requirements etc. Just trying to wrap my head around how to accommodate my group of 10-15 people going from dinner to dancing was really frustrating. I appreciate having options, but it would have been helpful to have a reference guide listing with different seating capacity, menus, and minimum spends. On top of that, there was a DJ performing that night. I had already purchased several tickets for myself and my friends ahead of time. Turned out, we could have stayed for music for free after dinner, and tickets were not refundable nor counted towards dinner. This added to confusion. I feel this was not communicated clearly anywhere.We arrived promptly at 8 for our dinner reservation. Ended up waiting for 20 plus minutes to get seated. 9 people standing around awkwardly, not a good start of a party. Finally, got seated, did not even get our drinks until 8:45. Servers barely moved. I wonder if this was because they knew the gratuity was already included in the bill for our large group anyway. It was not a good impression. Ended up spending a hefty amount for food and beverages, which top notch!! My husband informed our server that it was my birthday, I got a free sake shot, after everyone had already left the table. Not that I expected anything grand, but you'd think one would at least get a free desert with a candle and Happy Birthday song...At that point I was kind of upset and contacted Cathrine, the host, requesting to cancel our VIP table around 9:45pm, to which she rudely responded that it's nonrefundable. This was not communicated to me beforehand. The place was packed, so I am sure it would not have been a problem to sell the table. This was even more upsetting. We ended up staying at the table and spending another $350 plus tip on a bottle of whiskey that retails for $50.To summarize, we really enjoyed food, cocktails, and music, but service and organization seriously lacks, which was very disappointing for an establishment of this level and price point..
