Kubo is a warm and welcoming Filipino spot in Bethany with delicious comfort food and amazing hospitality. The Pancit Palabok is a standout—savory and rich, with a flavor profile that reminds me of Pad Thai, and as a rice noodle fan, I loved it. The Beef Sinigang is perfect for a cozy meal, with its tangy broth and tender beef served with rice. The owner is incredibly attentive and makes you feel like family. There’s so much more on the menu I can’t wait to try next time!

Kubo in Bethany is a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Rex is an absolute treasure – his attentiveness, spot-on recommendations make every visit a delight. Rex has even been generous to provide samples but sometimes that makes it all the harder to make a decision. Honestly, everything on the menu is so delicious, it's hard to choose.
Our absolute favorites are the Dinuguan (pork in pork blood), which is often called "pork in chocolate pudding" as the description may turn people off. But don't let the description fool you, it's incredible! We also love the Lechon Kawali (crispy pork belly) and the sizzling pork sisig. The Laing is so flavorful. And let's not forget the Halo-halo – it's a meal in itself, even though it's considered a drink! Dessert 🍨 and drink in one.
Rex is so kind, and even though the location is pretty small, which is unfortunate for our large family, which is why we don't frequent it as often as we'd like, but it's ambience is cozy and welcoming. However, this is one of my favorite places to sneak away to.
If you're looking for authentic and flavorful Filipino food with exceptional service, Kubo is a must-try. We can't wait to go back. On occasion we do take out but nothing is like conversation with Rex whose passion towards his craft and home country is undeniable. Thank you for bringing this delight to Bethany.

The owner suggested the we try Kare Kare which was absolutely delicious! We also had the lumpia, lechon, and cassava cake. The food was all super flavorful! The lechon was cooked perfectly, crispy outside and tender inside. The owner was really friendly. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back to try some more!

I’ll be straight. First, the cashier/the guy I talked to is not that approachable. Gives an attitude but to other race like not “Filipino” he smiles and nice. I ordered to go, basically it must need a Utensils but nothing at all. Food is okay but not satisfied for the service and attitude shown by the guy not sure if he’s the owner or not.

What an unexpectedly wonderful experience this meal was! I took my 9 year old here after she asked me to try Filipino food after reading about it in a book. We chose Kubo only because it was the only spot in the Portland area open on a Sunday evening and WOW I am so glad we lucked into this place.

The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, taking us through explanations of every dish on the menu he thought we might like and making recommendations, and even gave my kiddo samples of pork and chicken adobo so she could decide between the two and gave her an adorable sticker too. He also pointed me towards the vegetarian sisig when I first ordered a more basic vegetarian BBQ dish. The sisig was so good I haven't stopped thinking about it a week later.

We can't wait to take our whole family of 5 back!
