Kubo Chicago

Finally made it here for dinner and I'm glad we did. Got the pork rib adobo with garlic rice, an order of lumpia, and we split the Longganisa burger. The adobo was so tender the meat practically fell off the bone, and that garlicky rice was so good I cleaned my plate. Lumpia was hot and crispy with plenty of filling. The Longganisa burger was something different, with that sweet and savory flavor that actually works really well. We sat out on the covered terrace, and the fans kept it comfortable even with the warm weather. Staff was really sweet and checked on us without overdoing it. Also love that it's women-owned. Want to come back with a bigger group and try the kamayan feast.

great friendly staff and food! veggie friendly options too

Stopped in for dinner and the kansi sold me, sour tamarind broth with a big beef shank and bone marrow, super comforting. Crispy lumpia to start came out piping hot. Tried one of their martinis since the list is long, and it was solid. It’s dim and a little divey inside with classic rock going, but in a good way. The bar crowd got loud by the time I left. Bartender stayed quick even when it filled up.
