Got the lunch special. Atmosphere was good. Value for the money was good. Miso soup tasted good, salad was something I’ve never tried before but was good. California rolls were good. Nigiri was fresh, though I wish the chef did NOT PUT WASABI UNDER ALL MY FISH! The first of 5 I ate I brushed it off as cross-contamination, the second one I was like… well I’m already almost done with the nigiri, and I couldn’t even see the spot of wasabi on the rice! By that point I didn’t want to waste the sushi and tried hard to balance the wasabi flavor with the ginger, but also by that point my whole dinning experience had already been ruined. THEY NEED TO WARN PEOPLE BEFORE JUST STICKING WASABI IN THEIR FOOD! I personally hate wasabi. I told the server and all she said was that next time I should mention that I do not want wasabi on my nigiri, she didn’t even bother to offer me some nigiri without wasabi… IT SHOULD BE COMMON SENSE NOT TO PUT WASABI ON SUSHI 😡

The Apex Smokey maki roll was one of the best maki rolls I've ever had in my life! I will be returning and bringing others to try this!

Poor service, cranky manager type made us feel unwelcome.
Eating in or grabbing takeout from here never disappoints. It’s seriously wild that we have such an amazing sushi place in Elgin, we love bringing people here whenever we can.

Beautiful little restaurant in downtown Elgin, food was good but over prized, portions are small. service is good but short staffed, they did the best they could on a busy night.

Kubo was great and wonderfully cute! Fresh, fresh sushi. Best I've had locally. Everything was beautifully plated, with delicious sake cocktails. Their Aloha roll was bright and great for a hot day. Wonderful service & Instagram-friendly decor. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic experience! As someone with Celiac disease, dining out can be a challenge, but this place exceeded all expectations. I was so pleased with the accommodation for my dietary needs. They had a variety of gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu, and the staff was knowledgeable and attentive. The food was delicious and prepared with care, ensuring no cross-contamination. It's rare to find a place that takes allergies this seriously. Highly recommend for anyone with dietary restrictions!

We ordered through grubhub and the food came on time and warm, however there was one bag of food missing. Kubo called me and asked to personally deliver the food. The food and service is always great at Kubo, one of the best sushi places in the area.

My sister and I came in tonight with our mom (who is physically disabled) and our daughters. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but we were treated so kindly! The staff went out of their way to take care of us, even though they were busy. Major shout out to Leo, who absolutely made our night with his hospitality and compassion. We will be back!
