First things first - this restaurant has a very small seating area with two very small tables. We (3 people) dined in, but I have to assume that almost 100% of their business is takeaway. That said, we were not like sardines in a tin, we were comfortable in the space we had. It is probably relevant, though, to mention that two of the 3 people in our party were very small Filipinas. The entrees were excellent. Those were, in no particular order, lechon, Bicol Express and pork belly. We also got a large side of lumpia, which was not bad, but rather, decidedly average, so it suffered in comparison to the superb entrees. Additionally, they sliced it into small diagonal-cut (think of the way ziti pasta is cut) pieces, which I imagine was done for the sake of presentation, but I didn't find it visually appealing in the least. No matter, it's a mere trifle compared to the overall meal. The Sapin Sapin dessert was also fantastic, and somehow we made room for that after eating the generous entrees. The service was attentive and professional without being overbearing. Definitely coming back here again, and so are the two Filipinas (Tacloban and Mindanao). I think that sums it up neatly, right? read more

Kubo - This is the whole seating area. It's tiny. It's nowhere near as big as it looks in this photo. - Filipino Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place is one of the best Filipino Resturants in Portland. They have great food really good portions and the owner/person who works in front is very friendly. Not the best place for sit down but the food is fantastic eating there or grabbing takeout. Even waiting there is cool to see all the decorations. I've tried just bout every thing on the menu. I love the Kare Kare, Adobo, and the Lechon Kawali. Defintely want give it a try. Eat Filipino style everyone orders something and you share! read more

I was searching for a place for dinner and I absolutely love Filipino food so with a 4.8 rating my expectations were thru the roof for this place!!! I got the pork adobo and a mango juice and it was AWESOME!! The pork was tender and flavorful and u get quite a generous portion. The service was great as he helped us pick dishes (I already knew what I wanted the second I walked in), but he helped the other person with me. There is a small dining room if u r eating there, 2 tables. Thanks for the great meal! read more

It's frustrating that we like the food they serve for the most part but next time probably best to order out. The person at the front seems to be moody and unfriendly not very welcoming ( I greeted and he completely ignored us )also when the food came didn't even offer to provide extra plates so we can share family style n it wasn't even busy ..so we pretty much made a mess sort of...rendering the experience less than much to be desired affecting the taste n mood/vibe of the place. Too bad...this wasn't our first time there either... multiple times n pretty much similar unsatisfactory customer service... read more

Food is amazing and the service is so friendly. They were so patient answering questions about the food! It's definitely more of a take out kind of vibe since the shop is so small. It can only really fit about 3-5 people. I got the lechon and the sinigang, and I swear it was some of the best Filipino food I've ever had. The textures and flavors were really on point for me. The garlic rice was also fire. I have no notes! Really loved my experience at Kubo! read more

Such a cute spot for Filo food! I don't know the area well, but after reading some review it seems that there is not much Filipino food in this area of Oregon, so it's great to see such a thriving local business! It is quite small inside, only allowing for 2 families to sit but there are also a few seats outside. Be sure to come before the lunch or dinner rush, as the team is smaller and the wait could be longer for dine in or takeout! The owner was the one to serve us and he was so nice, and explained the menu to us first thing! We got the pancit, lechon kawali and sisig. All very delicious and fresh! read more

Came in the middle of the day looking for some Filipino Spaghetti and it sure was a great choice to go here! While the inside of the restaurant is small, getting takeout is made easy and the service was great! The cashier was making sure I knew what was on the menu, what I was looking for, and even offered samples! I ended up also getting some Lechon with my Spaghetti and it tasted amazing! I will definitely look to come back here to fulfill some cravings! read more

I had a strong craving for sisig today. This place did not disappoint. Crunchy and flavorful. It was better than places I've had in Southern California. I was on a mission to find traditional sisig and not the kinds advertised from "fusion" places. Kubo delivered this exceptionally well. I'm thankful to be nearby! The service was excellent. The person who took my order spoke about the dishes like they were his art. I was getting excited just placing the order. If you do come by, definitely order sisig and sapin-sapin for dessert! I'd say make this a to-go order as there are only two tables inside, unless it's a less busy lunch time :). I will be back for more flavors! Thank you for you doing what you do!!! read more

We visited Madras, OR, en route to the airport, and stopped at a Filipino restaurant called Kubo. Rex provided exceptional customer service, and the food is absolutely crave-worthy. The laing was authentically Bicol, and both the Bicol Express and the Kare Kare were outstanding. I strongly believe they should expand their operations. This is a must-visit restaurant. read more

Wow - just - wow! My husband and son went here and grabbed takeout for lunch and I am SO glad I asked them to pick something up for me. Lumpia - amazing! Pork adobo - amazing! Everything they brought home was amazing! I can't wait to go back and try more!!! read more

Cute place with tons of parking. We had chicken wings, sisig, and lechon kawali. The food was fresh and full of flavor! The owner is so nice and clearly loves food & family. It's tiny inside just a couple of tables but there is more seating outside. I got lumpia for take away and they were crispy, meaty, and delicious. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the menu! read more

If you like Filipino food, Kubo in Bethany is serving up the best around Portland. In Tagolog, Kubo means hut, and the small inside is decorated to reflect that with two tables. I've been twice and sat outside both times (there's a great toy store across the street!). Rex, the owner, is very welcoming and hospitable, and everything is made to order and worth the wait. A friend who's family is from the Philippines and returns regularly took me and John, and ordered a feast both times: Halo-halo, kare-kare, lechon kawali, pork adobo, lumpia, pancit palabok, and flan. They've all been delicious, but my favorite is the inihaw na liempo, a grilled pork belly. For those preferring vegetarian and vegan options, they serve up several, including laing, or spicy taro leaves in coconut milk, and tofu sisig. read more

Wow.. really loving seeing more Filipino restaurants in the area! Filipino food is not quite there with other asian cuisines so I am glad Kubo is here showing everyone how good it can be! Kubo in tagalog means hut so the inside decor really reflects that. It's definitely a small space but they have two tables that can probably seat up to 2-6 people comfortably inside. They also seems to have space outdoors but when we came we saw most people just taking it to go. As you enter you are greeted by staff and they are super up front if they are working on something in the back or if there might be some additional time to your order as they work through it. They seem like a small team so loved the heads up. Don't be fooled like us and think only the food shown on their digital menu is what they serve. We made the mistake and only ordered from the screen but all phots on their walls are also items you can order. Will definitely need to get the sisig next time! We ordered the pancit and the lechon kawali and we were full coming out of there! The lechon kawali had a great crunch and love how they have a pickled side like atchara and sauce to dip it in. Gives you a nice vinegary and savory balance to the saltiness of the pork. The pancit portion size was huge as well and we could have saved half but why haha. Before we ended our meal they also gave us some macaron samples they were trying which was so nice. They are also trying out new items like tofu sisig for other folks. read more

The owner was so kind, patient and explained every dish without hesitation. He went in to detail about every dish even informing us of what wasn't available and why. I didn't take pictures of everyone's dishes cause everyone was starving. The inside searing area was small, 2 tables 4 stools each. But there was also outdoor seating. We went on a cold and rainy day so outside was not an option for us. Everyone in our group loved what they ordered. We were about 8 of us. read more

Excellent food. I had the Pork Adobo and my date had the Pancit. This is the kind of place where everything is good. Great service as well.

I looooooove Kubo!! The food is authentic. My go to spot if I'm craving Filipino food!

Amazing food, real authentic style Philippine food. I'm over at the U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers in the City of Portland the headquarters and I'm in training's over there for a whole week. Yeah I'll come by again. Yeah there's other Filipino place but they serve fusion type and not so traditional Pinoy food. Services was very very, very good . Debbie is very nice but quaint. There's two tables that sits eight. Besto to do a takeout. They have tables outside also if you wish to dine in. Pam sit was very delicious and very authentic just like my grandmother would cook in Pampanga Philippines. Pork belly Inihaw was very delicious and very authentic just like my grandmother would cook in Pampanga Philippines. Highly highly highly recommend to eat or even have take . This place is closed on Tuesday though . read more

Kubo - With the owner Kubo restaurant - Filipino Near Me - Portland, Oregon

It's been a while since I've had Filipino food this good from a restaurant! For context -- my family and I are from Eugene, but my mom grew up in the Philippines and is a chef, and she LOVED the food (which is rare). Immediately walking in, we were welcomed by the friendly man behind the counter, and the delicious smells coming from the kitchen behind him reminded us of our own home cooking. The space is small, offering just 2 tables inside the building, but there is plenty of seating outside within the plaza. We were sure to order a lot because we wanted to try everything. The adobo was spot on -- perfectly seasoned and great with the pancit. I wanted to try the vegan option as well, which had surprisingly great flavor, though the texture was a tad underwhelming to me. The vegetable egg roll and lumpia was delicious. The lechon was crispy and great dipped in vinegar. We left with full tummies and a new must-visit lunch spot when we come back to Portland! read more

Kubo - Pancit Bihon Plate, Pork Adobo, Chicken Adobo, Vegan BBQ, Lechon Kawali Side, Side of Lumpia. - Filipino Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Family-owned | Delicious | A PDX gem **Tip: make sure to order about 30-40 minutes before you really plan on eating because they need time to make your order. We drove from Wilsonville on a weekday, in traffic, to do takeout. Yes, that also means we sat in traffic heading home, which totaled to be an hour-long trip to enjoy this delicious Filipino food. WORTH IT. It's like you're eating in a family's kitchen. It tastes home-cooked and really makes me miss my grandmother's cooking. Since we live kinda far, we knew we had to place a big order so we could enjoy as much as we could. Ube Jam -- sweet and is so delicious. A must for ube lovers Pork BBQ - comes with rice and lumpia Caldereta - beef stew Pancit bihon - noodles with some veggies Lumpia - crispy and addicting If you love ube, please try their ube jam. I'm obsessed with their jam and couldn't put my fork down. My toddler loves ube anything too. The BBQ pork came on a skewer and had lots of fat, so I'm guessing it's pork belly. The flavor is SO good. Caldereta reminds me of how my grandmother used to make it. Pancit bihon is another great classic I grew up with. I like that it's not too salty. Lumpia!! :drool: If you're craving lumpia, do yourself a favor and order it here! Crispy bites and hard to stop eating these. It's not really a dine-in place. You can eat outside. I saw much more on their daily special menu when I arrived to pick up my order compared to what was on their website. It's good to know because they offer various dishes! I'm quite thankful this place exists. We will be coming back! read more

Recommend entirely. Rex took the time to explain and dissect every one of the dishes Kubo serves. I'm getting the Pork Sisig at medium heat and am scared of how spicy it is going to be. Delicious? I have no doubt in my mind it will be. Enjoy a Calamansi juice drink while you're here, too. Will return. read more

Not having much Phillipino food options available in the area, we have been thinking about coming to this place for a while and we really glad that we did! The shop has couple small tables inside, think of it more as a Cafe setting, along with some standing tables outside. The owner is super passionate about his food, explaining in details on the origins, how he came up with some of the home recipes, difference in types of soy sauce or vinegar that they use, different specials... Etc. Super friendly and even gave our kiddos some cute quality stickers. The food, wow, pairs so well with the sauces that comes with the dish. Lechon was crispy and done well, he provided the oragon sauce that is a tribute to the region his dad grew up, added a whole different taste to the lechon, and the side salad/radish is also very tastefully prepared, giving balance to the meat. Pancit was solid, a bit blend but this is where the sauces come in and made it great. BBQ chicken is on the sweeter side which the kiddos loved, we added the spiced vinegar to change the flavor a bit, the lumpia is crispy and delicious. Lastly the pinoy style spaghetti, tastes like chili (hotdog and salami) with spaghetti and cheese, which was a big hit with the kiddos. We had no room for dessert, we'll need to try the halo halo and flan next time along with other dishes we would love to try (sigsig pork), can't wait to return! read more

This place is a small place with 2 tables with 4 chairs each. You're immediately greeted by the owner who is friendly and helpful. It's great to cause there are pictures of the food for guests who come in and are enjoying Filipino cuisine for the first time. Their food is delicious and has the home cooked style . I ordered the pork adobo plate and the hubs ordered the Shanghai lumpia plate w/ dipping sauce and atchara salad. both plates comes with generous portions of rice! Their atchara and lumpia dip are home made. This is DEFINITELY a keeper on our list of places to eat for great Filipino food when we're out this way!! read more

I nearly cried. I'm not kidding. I've lost all my Filipino family and this reminded me of visiting Grandma. Thank you for not over salting!

Food is always fresh and flavorful. Like so many flavors having a party in your mouth! Service is incredible. The owners want you to have a good experience and enjoy the food to your core. And you do. I've never been disappointed except when I don't go with enough people to order extra food to try. It's so hard to choose. And then when they have specials and I want to get one of my old stand-bys but the special looks good too. Keeps me coming back! And don't over look the sweet treats in the refrigerator either! read more

What a cozy spot that has great food and service! Seating inside is tight and plenty of seating outside, behind the building has a lot more. My friend and I were welcomed by the employee, who was helpful in giving recommendations and friendly too. Food came out faster than anticipated as it was lunch rush. Ordered lechon plate and pork belly inihaw. My friend likes the lechon, the skin had good crunch and my pork belly inihaw was really good. The flame broiled pork belly had a good tangy marinade which went well with the rice. The pickled papaya (atchara) was good too, next time will ask for more. You can see, smell, and taste the food that this restaurant serves, they take pride in their work! read more

Cute lil restaurant, I love the decor! This place only has two indoor tables but there are outdoor seating that are shared with other businesses. I ordered the lumpiang shanghai plate and my bf got the lechon kawali plate. I love the sauce that comes with the lumpia! I don't know if it's homemade or not, but it's not too sweet and it went well with the dish. I also love that they included a side of pickled veggies in your meal for balance. If you dine in, there are sauces in front of you: shoyu, patis, and spiced vinegar. I used the vinegar but it was not spiced at all, I wished there were more cili put into it like how it traditionally is. A lady took our order and she was really nice! She grabbed our drinks for us as well although we were sitting right next to the fridge. I would come back and try other dishes as well! read more
