Starred Southeast Asian Spot (Unfiltered Review!) 🌟
First Impressions: Walked into Cobi’s expecting Michelin magic—got pretty plates, moody lighting, and Instagrammable vibes 📸. But let’s keep it real... 🍤 Standout Dishes: Kingfish Crudo: Bright, citrusy, addictive—could eat 3 plates 🐟💥. Scallops: Seared perfection (both sauces slap 👏). Lychee Blossom Cocktail: Boozy > non-boozy (tastes like fancy soda 🍾). 😐 Meh Moments: Butter Chicken Curry: Roti saved it (chicken = dry 🥱). Thai Tea Pudding: Pearls good, pudding = sugar bomb 💣. MaiMaiTai (Mocktail): Cloying like syrup with identity issues 🤨. 💰 Damage: $45/person (after tip) for tiny plates—Michelin tax? 💸. Watch your bill: They "accidentally" added extra dessert 🧐. 📍 Cobi’s *Santa Monica’s aesthetic darling—flavors hit or miss. #LAEats #MichelinPlate #SoutheastAsianFood #OverpricedButPretty #HonestReviews
