Visited on a Friday evening and was worried it would be a wait or too crowded, but my wife and I were seated right away.
Great drink menu, especially if you like martinis. Food was delicious, we recommend the salmon, adobo pork ribs, and Pancit noodles (we prefer rice noodles over wheat noodles) you also have to get egg rolls and ube ice cream for dessert!
Service and atmosphere were great as well. Though this was one of the darkest restaurants I’ve been in, so it could be hard to see the menu for some. But still a great vibe and apparently a good first date spot, we noticed a few happening while there.
We walked over from City Suites Hotel about 8 min walk. We are not from Chicago but if we were, Kubo would definitely be a regular visit for us.

As a Filipino-American who’s lived in Bacolod, this place is a great slice of the motherland in Chicago. Food is absolutely delicious, drinks are delightful too. Lechon Kawali was especially scrumptious
Halo-Halo here is a MUST. So much love for Kubo 🇵🇭

We had an amazing experience at this family owner restaurant. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door. Our servers were not only gracious and kind but they made sure to ask if we were catching a show after. They made sure to rush our order in and kept an eye on the clock. The food was delicious as well. We ordered the chicken egg rolls, pancit, and adobo ribs with the lychee martini and margarita. The servers, who we came to realize were the owners, were so welcoming and kind. They checked in consistently, and even held my food at the restaurant while we watched our show across the street. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant more. Next time we’ll have to try the ice cream!

We came here as a group of 12 people to experience the Kamayan meal for my wife’s 30th birthday. Christine and staff were wonderful in explaining the significance of Kamayan and the food was AMAZING. The reservation process was really easy too and knew what to expect. We hope to be back again to do Kamayan and other meals as well. My favorite part was the Mussels and longganisa. If you have a group that likes food experiences I’d recommend doing this meal.

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!

I was craving for filipino food and didn't really want to cook so off we went. The restaurant itself is easy to miss if your driving opposite it because of the trees but if you see American Bagel and athletico your very close and its same side of the restaurant. It is a street parking only and maybe a challenge at night time. The restaurant is clean and very nice ambiance with a bar. We ordered the brunch combo which I think the brunch price is reasonable but the overall entree price is expensive for the size. The food that we ordered were tasty except the pork ribs adobo taste like a bbq ribs with bbq sauce not adobo. Service are really good. Overall, Ill come back and try other entree.
Food was delicious and also quite over priced. That, paired with their automatic gratuity, means you’re handing your waiter like $40 tip for refilling your drinks a few times and asking “how everything’s going”. Left a bad taste in my mouth because our server did no where near enough work or show enough attentiveness to warrant him getting an almost $40 tip after us being there around an hour. Food was good but we’ll not be back :)

Dropped by this place to try Filipino restaurants in the city. As someone who is Filipino, food was good and authentic. We got the pork ribs adobo and lechon sisig. I wish the portions were bigger, but delicious nonetheless. Server and manager were kind as well.
