Kubo - Filipino Ice Cream - Ube - Filipino Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stumbled upon this Gem in Albany Park and the food is great. Always very fresh with a light taste. I've ordered the Pancit and it's very tasty and a very nice size portion of noodles and some vegetables with chicken and a very tasty light sauce and is super good. I've got to try their kabobs next visit. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Might be biased and tough since I've had a lot of Filipino food, but this place is just alright. We ordered a bunch of other apps which were just okay. The beef soup was pretty legit though - but nothing special, pretty standard. Halo halo was alright- missing the leche flan but otherwise good standard halo halo. read more

Kubo - Filipino Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am familiar with just a few Filipino dishes and love them, so was excited to try Kubo. There was a bit of a wait since they were hopping on Friday night, so we sat at the cozy bar. Soon enough we were whisked into the open-air dining room and seated street-side. The weather was perfect so my son and I loved our perch, able to people watch and appreciate the blooming flower boxes. Unfortunately they are still not able to import beer from the Philippines which would have been fun, so we tried something else on tap. Our ceviche and fried zucchini starters were outstanding, as was the crab-crusted salmon and rice-noodle pancit entrees. Good-sized portions. The dessert menu had many choices and we decided tho split a dish of ube ice cream, which is made with taro root. It's simple but must-have! The owners visited our table multiple times and made us feel welcomed. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly. I can't wait till next time! read more

Kubo - Ube ice cream, blue bliss! - Filipino Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food was delicious, the service was outstanding and the ambiance was great! If you love genuine Philippino food this spot is a must!!!

A good Filipino restaurant is hard to come by sometimes. How did kubo fare? Let's take a look: Ambiance Kubo is a pretty nice clean establishment. It has a dark component but not too dark where it is hard to read the menu, at least where we sat. They do have a half bar to the right when walking in. We had a table towards the front. The seats were comfortable, as far as high top chairs go. The restaurant seemed a little cramped when I excused myself to the bathroom. Service The service was excellent. We got our food in a very timely manner. They also refilled our water pretty frequently and checked on us to see if everything was going well. Food The food was delicious. We ordered the Lechon Kawali, pancit, adobo ribs, pampano escabeche, and a Longgnisa burger. The lechon was juicy and still retained it crispy skin. It is paired with some garlic rice and some sautéed vegetables. The pancit had a nice flavor and it was not overwhelmed with celery. The pampano is a fried fish in a sweet 'n' sour. It was nicely cooked where the fish was not a piece of jerky. The longgnisa burger was delicious. It was very flavorful as with a fried egg on top. The egg was perfectly cooked where the yolk was runny. Unfortunately, the pork ribs adobo was dried. All in all the meal was delicious but the adobo was unfortunately a let down. We rounded dinner off with some halo halo. It is served in a medium sundae cup. It is big enough for 2-3 people. It ended up hard to mix because it was full and got kind of messy. Overall Kubo is a pretty good Filipino restaurant. I would say the serving size is a bit small, but can argue that it is just enough for a serving, either that, or I just eat too much. The price of each plate is a little high, but comparable to restaurants around Chicago. Again, unfortunately the rib adobo was kind of a let down. It did not seem to have that vinegary flavor that I usually get with the adobo I usually eat. Also, the ribs were unfortunately dry as well. Other than that, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this restaurant especially if you are looking for a Filipino restaurant. read more

Went there for brunch/lunch on a Saturday. Got seated right away. Service was just okay. Food was okay. Ordered their Longanisa and tocino breakfast - nothing special. Also tried their sisig which was pretty good. Coffee was not good. Decor was okay. Would love to try the rest of their menu, but it was not a great first experience. read more

Came here with a friend on the weekend, it was pretty early for dinner in the city, around 6:30pm. The city was experiencing a heavy rain, so it wasn't busy, but it was an easy decision to stay and try their menu on their fun, covered outdoor space. The music was a little on the loud side, but overall it was a fantastic place to meet and eat! read more

First time here today (7/30/2023, lunch). Food: A+ We had the calamari ($13) seafood balls ($10), chicken eggrolls ($10), bangsilog ($15), kubo omellete ($14), and halo halo ($10) Ambiance: A We sat on the porch. It was a nice day so it was very comfortable sitting there. Fun music was playing (Britney, Spice Girls, Cher, etc.) so thoroughly enjoyed the time waiting for our food. Service: D The male owner was the one who served us. No eye contact the whole time, barely spoke to us, and conversations with him were so hurried. We arrived at 12:02PM. I had reservations for 12:45pm. I began to ask if it was ok that we were early but he barely listened, going, "Yeah yeah. Sure sure," and quickly ushered us in without listening. Took our order hurriedly. No asking if it was our first time there or if we needed recommendations, etc. 4 gentlemen came in after us and the owner was more chatty and welcoming towards them. I even asked him towards the end of our meal if he was the owner, hoping to say that the restaurant had great food, but he could barely maintain eye contact, just hurriedly picking up the plates from our table. The unfriendly service left a bad taste in my mouth. Bottomline: Good food. Hope the service is better if we go back. read more

Kubo - Turon A La Mode - Filipino Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We walked up and the place wasn't very busy, but it was Thursday at 8:15 p.m. and Chicago's Lollapalooza started tonight. Most of the other bars and restaurants on Belmont were far less than just the night before. We were immediately seated by what appeared to be the owner or manager. Very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Seafood balls as an appetizer. They were good and the aioli was excellent, but I would either suggest larger balls of seafood or more than 4 skewers. Regardless, they were very tasty. My wife ordered the crab-crusted salmon, and I ordered shrimp curry. Even though it wasn't very busy, I gave them 4 stars for service because the entrees were 5-10 minutes later than I would have expected. However, the wait was worth it. My wife enjoys both crab and salmon. The crusted crab was excellent (she gave me a taste) but the salmon wasn't as firm as she has come to expect. As this is a Phillipino recipe, it could be because of the cuisine, or they just overcooked the salmon. If I were to order it again, I would specify how I want the salmon prepared. I ordered the Shrimp Curry and it arrived in a very large bowl, full of shrimp, carrots, green beans, and mushrooms. The coconut based broth was full of taste with just the right amount of curry. It was very good. It was hot (temperature) so I know it wasn't waiting to be brought to our table. It was fresh, the vegetables crunchy as they should be, etc. Along with both my wife's and my dish were two balls of "garlic rice" which were accompanied. I put mine right into the curry dish which really made up a perfect dish for me. My bowl was too big and I shouldn't have finished it because I wanted to try a Phillipino desert, but it was just too good and I couldn't stop. I liked the place, and the service, and the food. I'd recommend to any friends for a differernt food cuisine that isn't readily available in most cities. read more

Service: 5/5, fast and friendly. Ambience: 5/5, live DJ and lively atmosphere. Food: 3/5, ordered the short rib adobe small plate. Albeit this was on the appetizer menu, it was a small portion for the price. A scoop of rice could have balanced out the acidity of the adobo sauce. read more

First time dining out in a while with friends and wow what a great choice. Easy to get a reservation last minute, good spacing between tables, open window for ventilation indoors, and fantastic outdoor seating option. Food was fantastic with massive portions. The service was wonderful with water refills constantly, attentiveness to drink levels was great, and food was timely. They also gave us a complimentary round of shots at the end. Definitely will revisit again, and again, and again. read more

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM We first went for the lechon but I had to order the burger when I saw it on their menu. THE BEST CHOICE THAT I'VE MADE! The burger was perfectly seasoned and cooked. I am not a big fan of sausage but it goes so well with the egg and toppings in the burger. It was juicy, flavorful, and the BUN was so soft and chewy! Banana ketchup was yummy and the fries were so crispy. I am so happy that I found this menu and want all of my friends to try it. Lechon was very crispy on the outside and juicy inside. It was yummy but I loved the burger more! read more

Much to my surprise, I needed reservations at a bar I was hoping to meet friends at nearby. Kubo was the available option and highly rated so we gave it a spin. Loved the service and I think it was one guy doing it all himself. Nice pours of my rose (discount and quality, to boot). Ribs were fantastic, as were the garlic rice and park fries. I ordered calamari and it was okay. Outdoor deck was lovely on a beautiful spring night and early 2000s music made us feel right at home. Solid option in the Lakeview neighborhood! read more

I helped organize a large dinner for 12 people at Kubo, and I have to say we weren't disappointed! We arrived and was promptly seated on the patio with a large table decked out for us. There was a live DJ playing music which was pretty awesome to have, even though it meant conversing with people at the table a bit difficult. I ordered the pork ribs adobo and other people ordered chicken adobo, lumpia, pancit, and a couple other dishes. I like the dish and finished the entire plate (I was starving), but I have to say that the place is a bit pricey for what they offered (hence the -1 star). My pork ribs adobo had 4 ribs and a small serving of rice and veggies. I believe that they should've given us a bit more rice since I finished eating it before I finished the meat. The top of the ribs were also a bit drier than I liked but the bottom side of the ribs were delicious (attributing it to the fat). However, the SERVICE WAS AMAZING. The waiter/waitress would refill all 12 of our water cups so quickly, which was great. They let us order the drinks first, allowed people to talk and mingle, before coming to take our food orders. The food also all came at once which was great so that no one felt left out when people started eating. They were also accommodating to a large group of people, which we appreciated! We had a great time for our meetup and we want to thank Kubo for it! read more

Kubo - Pork Ribs Adobo - Filipino Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We made a reservation for dinner for 21 people, and sadly: 1. They only had one server who couldn't handle our group size. We were the ONLY diners there at the time, mind you. 2. They wouldn't let us pre-order, which would've made things easier for them. Instead they wanted to wait for the entire party to get there before taking our food order. The late-comers from our group got their entrees first & were already eating dessert before our end of the table even got our appetizer!!!! 3. The lady who took our order INSISTED on another dish instead of what we really wanted even though she claimed what we wanted was their "specialty". 4. The guy/bartender kept asking: 'are you done?' every 2 minutes when clearly there was still food on the table. 5. Lastly, the place was so dim-lit that if we had done "boodle" we wouldn't see what the heck we'd be eating. So sadly disappointed with this place! read more

Not so thrilled. It's tasteless, no flavor, meat is pale not what it's says a letchon kawali. Too much oil.. The server seem like in a hurry.... I could just order a fish balls. And it's very pricey... Well, at least I got a video of the sisig... And with the service, the person who take care of us seem to be in a hurry. No customer service profession. And I can hear them talking about another employee about pay etc... read more

Wow, this place is delicious! We dined on the spacious covered patio which has fans, lights and even allows dogs! We tried the Shanghai style lumpia, the Longgnisa Burger and the Longsilog. The food took a bit to come out but it was totally WORTH IT. Everything was hot, fresh and flavorful! The burger and the fries were the stars of the meal and we especially appreciated the aioli and banana ketchup. We finished the meal with the halo halo dessert which combines many different tasty elements. This place deserves a lot more business --- it's really that good! read more

Poor service: We were left waiting for long periods of time throughout dinner. We did not feel prioritized despite the low volume of customer traffic. Food Quality: Food was TOO salty on a variety of dishes (adobo, pancit etc). It's like the chef spilled salt a few times. Food was overly greasy and oily. Did not taste local or special. Price was exorbitant despite the low quality of food. Cleanliness: Average to below average. Takeaway: Would not recommend. read more

I went there on Thursday night and it was so dark and empty. Food was ok, but nothing to rave about. There wasn't much flavor or meat in the egg rolls. The Pompano fried fish, Sisig, and Adobo all tasted so flat, and the Sisig wasn't even crispy or hot. It was so disappointing because I was looking forward to it. read more

My friend and I wanted to try an ethnic food we don't often have. When scrolling through options nothing seemed right. We finally go to Kubo which was about a 12 minute walk from where we were so we gave them a call. The host was so nice and inviting we just had to give it a try. We walk over there and the set up just looks awesome. They have a huge outdoor, covered, patio, which had the tables spaced out for Covid. We walk inside and are greet with the same enthusiasm that we were on the phone. They take us to a table, but make sure it's where we feel comfortable sitting. They have high tops and low tops, so there's a place for everyone. I'm not sure who was our server or who was the manager, because they were both so attentive and welcoming throughout our stay. After going over their menu and drink selection they mentioned their featured beer. A local beer from twisted hippo called PLUMPass. They described it as a light plumb ale, and we were sold right away. It did not disappoint. We each had two and would have had more if it wasn't 6.8%. Refreshing and delicious, a great was to start our meal! For food, we started with small plates where we had fried calamari, tuna ceviche, and pork ribs. They were all excellent, my favorite of the 3 was the ceviche, but that's a hard decision. For our entrees I got the Crab Crusted Salmon, which was incredible. A super thick fillet of salmon crusted with real crab. Served with this amazing rice and cabbage vegetable mix. Seriously awesome. My friend got the pancit, and it tasted truly homemade. Every flavor was perfect. The salmon took a while to cook, not that we noticed from the great time we were having, but the staff clearly noticed and came over with 2 delicious shots to thank us for our patience. After all that food, we saw this interesting purple ice cream walk passed us, so we had to try it. When we asked about ice cream we were immediately recommended the Ube ice cream, with the description being delicious and purple, we said yes and ordered it. They did not disappoint. I wish I could describe it better, it's not too sweet as you would expect, not too floral. It was just perfect. After all this we got our bill and it was EXTREMELY reasonable. I could not recommend this place any higher. read more

Warm service and a great taste of Filipino cuisine. It was our first time and we sat on the covered patio on a warmer than usual fall evening. The spring rolls/lumpias were full sized teats, 4 to an order. The adobo chicken (soy and vinegar sauce) was delicious, as were the fish with sweet and sour sauce. The menu is also kid friendly as much as it is adult friendly. There's a great bar area. The brunch menu looks great. Save room for the Ube (purple yam) cake, it was tender with a coconut frosting. read more

This Lake View neighborhood Filipino/American Restaurant is always delicious. Tonight I had their Shrimp Curry and I was delighted with the plump shrimp, with lot's of veggies in a delicious curry sauce. Paired with a full flavored Old Zinfandel. I was so full that I probably could have made 2 meals out of it. The adobo ribs and fresh fish specials are some of my favorites, too. Friendly owners, bartender and service. The bar is very large and a great place to meet people especially when you are dining solo. A spacious restaurant with a full bar (manhattans to specialty martini's, beer, and an extensive wine list) where you can grab lunch, brunch, and dinner. Kubo's friendly service and atmosphere makes one feel like part of the family! read more

Been craving for Filipino food so a friend and I decided to check this place out. Kubo is located in Lakeview and they are open right now and reservations are preferred. We were seated by the patio area which was great, it wasn't so busy today which was nice, I'm Filipino and I've been to a couple of Filipino restaurants in the city aside from this however, I've heard things from friends so I wanted to check it out for sure. We came in today and was greeted by the host who was very nice and friendly, the outdoor seating is really nice and it's perfect for the summer, they were all wearing masks and gloves and sanitizers were available which was great. The host told me that it's an Americanized version of what Filipino cuisine to cater the neighborhood, at first I thought it made sense because knowing Lakeview seems like there's not a lot of non American restaurants in the area however, I was also thinking why make it so American and not the authentic Filipino food? The neighborhood could use it and be introduced to what authentic Filipino cuisine is. I was intrigued by that statement actually so I was more curious about the food. Our appetizers we ordered egg rolls and the "fish balls" the appetizers were good the sauce for the fish balls was a little spicy for my taste and the egg rolls man that was the longest egg roll I've seen overall it was delicious Main course we ordered the Lechon Sisig and the Pancit. I am so glad that the Sisig was actually Lechon and the plate was sizzling. The pancit was delicious both entrees were tasty the sisig really reminded me of home it taste better with authentic Filipino beer. All entrees comes with a side of garlic rice as well. The owner was there to talk to us during our dinner and she was lovely. Dessert we ended our dinner with Ube ice cream which was tasty and comes with a ube stick! Overall we had a really good experience. I don't know if I would agree with it being the "American version" of a Filipino food but I would say "Filipino food with a modern twist" the server was attentive, the host and the owner is really friendly as well. Lastly, they have great selection of authentic Filipino beers and cocktails. I did not order any alcohol but the next time I'll check it out I'll definitely give it a try. The only thing that I wasn't really a fan about was the music. Our dinner reservation was at 6pm and I was hearing all clubby music. Don't get me wrong I love a dance, clubby music however I'm not sure if that's the I wanna hear in the middle of my dinner, unless I'm in a place that there's performers, or a show during my dinner I could see that but the restaurant wasn't busy at all and it was also a little loud. Overall the experience, the presentation of the food, the taste, the decor is 5 stars! I'll definitely come back! read more

I had a birthday dinner here on a Friday night. Made a reservation, and was seated quickly upon arrival. It was not very busy which was nice. However, there was another group for the Kamayan dinner that arrived shortly after us, and they seemed to be a priority for the restaurant, as we did not get our orders taken until after the other group's food was served to them. No complaints on the food we ordered (no pictures because we were so hungry). Also, they do not compensate for birthday meal/dessert. read more

The service was excellent! We came as it opened for dinner time. It was a thursday night with just my sister and I after our Navy Pier outing. We were hungry and it hit all the right spot. Food was excellent! The best dish for me was the Fried Calamari, The Kinilaw, and the pork adobo...the meat just fell off the bone. It doesn't leave that greasy taste. I am definitely going to try their brunch . The Ambiance doesnt remind me of the kubo back home..but kubo literally means small living space so if you come with a big party definitely do reservations read more

Always great food. And Fantastic Martinis. Love the Manhattans as well. GF options are also wonderful.

Overall: Given that it's one of the few Filipino places in the area, Kubo fills the gap well and hits the spot! The good: While the menu selection seems somewhat non-Filipino, all of the food was great and seemingly authentic. The skinny egg rolls were a great start to our meal, followed by the fantastic adobo pork ribs. The tangy yet sweet sauce was perfectly ratioed to cover the tender meat, and the sauteed veggies and rice were a perfect combo. That, and the portion sizes were spot on. Oh, and the cocktails were strong and tasty! The not-so-good: The atmosphere is lacking in terms of flair and character. While certain elements are added in and welcome, there is still quite a lot of bare bone-ness to the layout overall. Also, the service was almost overwhelmingly quick when it came to picking up our plates. Several times they tried to take our plates, even when we weren't finished with our meal. Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Food: 8.5/10 read more

W came here on a weekend for lunch. The place was empty. Ambiance was like a hungover bar. The tv was blasting. They sat us down quickly and impromptu. They were nice to my daughter who was running around and grabbing everything. Service was very good. I have been spoiled by eating a lot of home cooked Filipino food from working with a lot of Filipino nurses over my career. I had the salmon my husband with beef and my daughter the noodles. The food was ok, but variety was lacking. Most everything was very heavy and we were hard pressed to find something on the menu that wasn't fried. Overall the experience was ok. read more

We always get the skinny egg rolls (best item on the menu in my opinion), but their specialty entrees are always inventive and delicious.

I really wanted to like Kubo. I was excited about dining here and we had reservations. We were dining before seeing a friend's show across the street. I was pouring when we arrived and everyone at the front of the staff seemed irritable about the rain that was being tracked in. They trooped us through the very narrow and tight restaurant to a space in the far back - a table for two right by the kitchen and the bathrooms. My husband had a view straight back into the kitchen. We were also elbow to elbow to the other diners around us. We had dripping wet umbrellas that made a soggy mess all around us, but know one seemed to concerned at first. We put our wet umbrellas under than table and then all of sudden their was interest. The manager instructed his staff to put a bucket up front, gave us disapproving glances as they asked for our umbrellas, then had his staff mop up around us. I promise we didn't bring the rain into the restaurant on purpose. The spot we were seated was kind of dark. It was hard to see the menus or our food. Our waitress as very helpful and sweet. She did a fantastic job of describing the dishes. I thought the cocktail dress was interesting. I had a French Martini - one of my favorite drinks. There's was much redder than normal - I'm not sure what they do different, but I enjoyed it. My husband enjoyed a Filipino negra beer. I thought their drink prices and dinner prices were reasonable for the most part - some on yelp say they prices are expensive for what you get. I ordered the pancit at our waitresses recommendation. It was $18. The dish had nice flavor. What I take exception to is that the shrimp were tiny shrimp that compare to the kind you buy in a can or pouch at the grocery store to be used in a cold shrimp salad, and I wouldn't eat that salad...they are gross. I order a variety of shrimp dishes in many different states in the $16 - $20 price range, and for that price they could serve a dish with 6 to 8 nice medium sized shrimp. I'm not sure I can forgive the inferior shrimp that was served. My husband had the por adobo and it was lovely. I could probably forgive the shrimp in my dish for this lovely pork dish. It was so tender and came with a cabbage mix salad. The down side was the bland rice. It seemed like the staff was quick to scoot diners out of the restaurant when they were done, then they would scoot the tables around while rearranging them into different seating patterns - noisy and distracting. On our way out we ran into a friend sitting at the bar. He had a yummy looking burger and fries. His wife was performing on the production across the street, and that's why were were there. He chatted with us a bit, and the bar tender actually joined in the conversation since he had gotten to know our friend and the actors and actresses in the show. When we left he told out friend - I thought they would never leave so you could eat! Shocking and funny at the same time - I guess it's nice that he was looking out for our friend. I'm torn on whether or not we will be back. If so I will request a seat up front instead of back by the kitchen and there will be no baby shrimp for me. read more

This restaurant makes me proud to be Filipino. Believe it or not, I don't usually eat at Filipino restaurants because I can get that for free at Mom's house and she's a great cook! However, after seeing all these great reviews on Kubo, along with the fact that it's Filipino cuisine mixed with an American flair, I caved in and checked it out. I actually had my husband's surprise birthday dinner here. Communicated directly with the owner, Christine, here on Yelp and was able to reserve the patio for a group of 25 people. Christine was awesome to work with and always very responsive to any questions that I had along with any requests that I had. The patio space was perfect. Also it's an extension of the restaurant, it was nice and warm, and perfect for hosting a party. The food was amazing, just like my fellow Yelpers have been advising. I ordered the pork adobo, but had portions from others plates that included the fried red snapper, the curry chicken, and the fried chicken inasal. All were deliciously flavored, and the presentation of the food was very nice. A lot of our party also ordered the longanisa burger, which is cured sweet pork grounded in with beef, and topped with a fried egg. I actually will save that for my next visit and didn't want to ruin the experience by nibbling of off someone else's plate. For dessert, we ordered the ube ice cream. That did not disappoint and was perfectly creamy and flavorful, just like how I imagined it to be. The service was exceptional. We had a large group so the food took a little longer to be cooked but that was expected. During the wait, the wait staff made sure we had the drinks that we needed. I already can't wait until I come back and sink my teeth into that longanisa burger. Everyone that ordered it was raving about it! Thank you Christine and the rest of the Kubo staff for helping me make my husband's surprise birthday dinner a success! read more
