“ I recently returned from a visit to the Philippines and wanted to introduce my family to some of my favorite foods. Despite being a very small location, Kubo has a great selection of dishes and everything was delicious!! The owner was also friendly and helpful and walked us through the menu. The dishes we ordered were the inasal, pancit bihon, tofu sisig, adobo, and kare-kare. Even my family members who dislike tofu thought the tofu sisig was amazing! We also took home some flan and ube jam. We look forward to visiting again! Thank you! ”
“ We recently had the pleasure of experiencing Kubo's cuisine for the first time. Despite the considerable travel distance, our visit was well worth it, driven by previous recommendations and personal interest. We were genuinely impressed by the quality of the food; each dish we sampled, including the sinugba, palabok, and Filipino-style spaghetti, was both fresh and exceptionally flavorful. Their commitment to customer satisfaction extended to their takeout service. The careful packaging of each item was evident, especially with the sinugba, where cold ingredients were intentionally kept separate from the hot portion. We particularly valued the owner's thoughtful instructions on how to plate the sinugba at home. Furthermore, the personalized service, such as the owner hand-delivering our order to us outside, significantly enhanced our experience. Kubo stands out as an excellent establishment for authentic, fresh, and delicious Filipino food. We strongly recommend it and eagerly anticipate our next opportunity to explore additional menu items. ”
“ The food was great and satisfying. We did not expect that they only have a very small space inside to eat. I liked the interior of the place. The pork sisig was kinda different from what I expected especially the egg on top of it and it was a little oily for me. But I liked how crunchy it was. I also enjoyed their sweet and spicy vinegar. Overall, it definitely had the taste of home. You have to check them out! ”
“ Kubo is hands-down the best Filipino food we have had in Portland. Authentic, freshly made, and delicious. If you’re not sure what to order, Rex will recommend his favorites and you can’t go wrong! Delicious vegetarian options too (try the tofu sisig!). We will definitely be back to Kubo regularly. ”
“ 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! ”
“ there food is so fast and delicious! there’s a small cute little seating area and the staff is nice and welcoming <3 i’d highly recommend, I got the chicken and adobo with a side of lumpia! absolutely delicious ”
“ I haven't tried Filipino food until this trip. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because it was a little on the expensive side. I ordered the Pork Sisig, which is roasted pork belly and chicken liver. Let me say, it was a treat my taste buds will never forget. Another downside is you have to pay 3 dollars extra for your dish to be placed on a bed of rice. With the total coming in at 21$ just for a 1 person meal, that is a little expensive I think. Had i not got the rice and paid 18 for just the meat I definitely would have gone off my lunch break still hungry. That being said, if you want to treat the taste buds, and don't mind spending the extra few bucks then give this place a shot! ”
“ 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! ”
