I can’t hype this place up enough. I’ve been coming frequently since they opened and the food never fails to blow me away. If you come before midnight, YOU HAVE TO try the orange ribs- maybe the best thing I’ve eaten in Columbus! Off the late night menu, pork dumplings are a must. Get it with the popcorn chicken and dip them in the dumpling sauce...seriously. I’m so grateful to have a place I can go to late after work and know I’m gonna get the best food and drinks the city has to offer.

Can’t say enough great things about the food at Cobra. Just can’t stop thinking about their noodles! Dan Dan Noodles, Mama Chien’s Dumplings, and Cobra Sunday Gravy are my favs so far. Fantastic drinks and great service to top it all off! Highly recommend.

Cobra is a great spot for high quality food and drinks. It's got really cool and different atmosphere. It's on the hipster side so just be prepared. It has an upscale/retro feel that is one of a kind. Many try to outfit their bar restaurant that way but only Cobra executes the aesthietic. The food and cocktails make the place come together. I had the Ezzo brand pepperoni pizza dumplings. 9 for 5 and they were great. The sauce is exceptional. Their like the best pizza rolls you've ever had and then some! It is a great spot for dates on South High Street. There's a little photo booth inside at the back of the restaurant. Cobra is in a good location and catches the eye with their large retro looking sign. It is walking distance to other bars too. Thanks to everyone at Cobra!

Having heard about this place since before it opened the description of what they were trying to accomplish sounded alluring. Finally getting time to stop in the food did not disappoint. The garlic broccolini should be a signature appetizer, wow , I think I ordered it twice. Dumplings are a must, I got the pork filled - they have two options The Bologna Sandwich - initially hesitant, due to the jalapeno sauce as I do not like super spicy food, the excellent staff described it and decided to give it a try. The chef who came up with the toppings for the sandwich and jalapeno sauce needs to be recognized, nailed it as well as the coloring and presentation Highly recommend this place

Great spot. Menu is small and has some items that are unrecognizable. Don’t let that turn you away. Got the dumpling app, which was in a sauce that was incredible. We both got the Dan Dan Noodles. Spicy dish, unique flavors, and simply amazing! We’d definitely order it again!

The food was delicious. Dan Dan noodles and Shanghai Burger were my favorite. The noodles were like a Thai peanut flavor and a little spicy. And the burger was juicy and had a bit of a sweet flavor. The atmosphere was dark and lively. A great spot to be out with friends. Good place to get drinks.

First visit! I was working in Columbus, and I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express Downtown. The first suggestion from the front desk was Cobra. I always follow suggestions from locals. It is a bar that serves Asian food and some typical bar bites. The lighting is very low, so you have to use the flashlight on your phone to read the menu. It's different from your typical restaurant. Feels like a great place for date night. I ordered the Shanghai Noon Burger. I made it a triple and left off the additional items. I also added French Fries to the order. 20 for a triple burger with fries. Food came out quickly. The cooks are visible, and you can see how hard they work to prepare the food. Everything tasted delicious. Fresh beef and the French Fries are tasty. The seasoning is very unique. I will probably eat here most of the week. This location is highly recommended!

Amazing service, casual but nice ambiance, great menu. We got the hot dog (delicious and I think a great value), popcorn chicken (we’d been hunting for koji chicken and we very happy), pork dumplings (amazing), and shrimp sausage (ok!). There’s a big parking lot (rare for the area). Cocktails— very perfect. Great comfort food.
