Laaaaa! That’s me singing my praises of Kubo Chicago! It’s perfect for date night, parties, casual dining, and more! They have a fantastic Filipino menu full of the classics and some new twists. The pork was so tender it fell off the fork and the owner offered to chop it up so it’s easier to eat. The pancit was a huge portion and steamy and delicious. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Fun night atmosphere. They do a cool eat with your hands menu for groups. Free parking on the side of the building too!

“French fries dippee in house yum yum sauce is so fricking delicious.”

French fries dippee in house yum yum sauce is so fricking delicious. Burger was also great, my wife had vegetarian curry and thought it was divine. Loved the atmosphere and the service as well. We needed to make a show at The Wit next door and they made sure we got our food and bill in time to not be late. Absolutely loved this place.

“Amazing food, chill vibe, and really pleasant people.”

Amazing food, chill vibe, and really pleasant people. We had a great experience. Loved the garlic rice, and the Longganisa burger is so unique. We were tempted to try the Kamayan experience, but it requires a minimum of four people. would love to see a smaller, more affordable option

“Was here in Chicago for the Marathon.”

Was here in Chicago for the Marathon. We were craving Filipino food after the race and it did not disappoint. The Kansi soup was delicious especially with the beef shank in it. The Lechon Kawalit was juicy and crunch. They also have Filipino inspired cocktails. Always glad to see a Filipino restaurant out here in Chicago that is also open late! I would definitely come back (especially for the Kansi)

Best longonisa I've ever had and the milk fish was incredible (and I'm not a huge fish lover). Everyone was lovely and the patio is a great atmosphere.

“We wanted to try something new and picked Kubo.”

We wanted to try something new and picked Kubo. So glad we did! The food was great! We shared a couple appetizers and a couple entrees and all were flavorful delicious. There was a big party behind us that was getting a family style setup. Everything was set up on the table for them, it was beautiful! It's a cozy place but the lighting was a little dark for my taste. I had to use my phone light to read the menu.

“Great, delicious Filipino food.”

Great, delicious Filipino food! Everything tastes authentic, just like what I’m used to back in the Philippines. Soup was savory and flavorful. Desserts were “not too sweet”, in the authentic Asian style. Fan of the ambience and environment and food, definitely recommend!

This was my first time at a Filipino restaurant and it was great! The environment is warm and the people are very friendly! The food we ordered was full of flavor! I recommend the pork ribs adobo and the Lumpia!

Amazing! What a wonderful experience. My partner surprised me for my birthday and it was my first time in the states to have a kamayan. The food was phenomenal and Christine and her staff were fantastic. Really great customer experience. They made my birthday, while sharing my culture, with friends a great experience. Will be coming back again to do another kamayan!

“Food was pretty good here.”

Food was pretty good here. We tried an array of food off the menu and shared. We had to ask for bigger plates after appetizers. We were provided the same sized plates and it didn’t make sense. The servers were attentive and my family said the drinks were yummy.
