We ordered 3 dishes. 1, Chicken bites was good, crispy and tasty. I liked their spicy sauce too. 2, Pork belly was ok. 3, Savory pork blood stew was the worst pork I have ever had , I thought it was pork blood cubes like we used in the hotpot, but its not. It's pork meat in blood sauce, it smelled stinky and tasted terrible. read more

Kubo - Food was great! price is right! highly recommended restaurant. Ube yam was delicious. - Filipino Near Me - Portland, Oregon

First of all, best Filipino food in town. I've had Filipino food in Manila, San Francisco, and Seattle. I know what good Filipino food is. Rex, the owner is very hospitable and passionate about food. My favorites here are lechon, pork sisig, kare kare, and cassava cake. You can tell the food is made with love, passion, and care. It's a must try for people who love Filipino food, or have never tried it. read more

I ordered the adobo and It was not good. It was too salty and didn't taste fresh. The customer service was quite disappointing. Its a place to do to-go orders not eat in. The guy seemed annoyed that we were dining in. Would not recommend this place go elsewhere to find better food and experience. read more

This place is my favorite Filipino restaurant in the Portland metro area so far. They dont sell fusion, they dont try to make it super fancy, and I feel like they dont compromise to make the dishes more palatable to non-Filipinos like so many other Filipino restaurants in the area do. Its good food that tastes like what I remember eating at family parties as a kid. The restaurant itself is pretty small, with just two tables for dine in. I got the Bikol Express and Pancit Palabok when I went and they were both really solid dishes. Service was also good! Im definitely coming back again. Another bonus is that theres a lot of outdoor seating options in the surrounding plaza if you want to enjoy the weather or if you have a dog with you. read more

It was my first time to eat at Kubo on 28 September 2024. We had sisig, laing, kare-kare, palabok, etc. I had nothing but praise because the food was awesomely delicious. We will definitely keep coming back to try the other items on the menu! Keep it up!!!! read more

The food was excellent, with fantastic flavors and very attentive service. We enjoyed this place and will come back. The ambiance was very relaxed and cute. More suitable for smaller groups. Small location but worth the trip! read more

It's my first time in Portland and one thing to complete my visit is to taste the filipino food around the area. Good food, great service, and the ambiance was exactly I was looking for. Very hospitable and accomodating! We'll definitely recommend this. Thank you read more

We got a couple of dishes to go. The food came out in a timely manner. But the dishes were not edible. They were very soggy and very salty. Growing up eating this food. I would say this ain't the place. Waste of time and money. There are better food trucks out there. read more

Kubo is your AUTHENTIC FILIPINO RESTAURANT. They serve quality food that reminds you of childhood. My husband and I were very satisfied with the food, service, and the ambiance. We ordered lechon kawali, sinigang, and halo-halo. Mind you the first bite feels like home. The owner was also very kind. You should try this as they offer a wide selection of Filipino food. read more

This is a Lumpia Sariwa and it's all veg in a rice wrap, but delicious. My first time trying Filipino food. If you're Filipino and live in the area, how close is it to authentic? It's located right in the outdoor mall area, so parking is a no problemo. I'd return again and try something else, but I was definitely curious about the desserts they featured in their mini cooler! I've only eaten puto with the coconut sauce before and that is delicious too. read more

Kubo - Lumpia Sariwa - Filipino Near Me - Portland, Oregon

GOOD Filipino cuisine in Portland is so difficult to come by, but believe me (as a Filipina myself) when I say that Kubo does it RIGHT!! Food tastes just like how my family makes it back home. They have all your major dishes - including sisig!! - and pricing is very reasonable! It's Filipino comfort meals at its finest I only wish the location itself was bigger to accommodate for more indoor eating (it's really more of a take-out kind of place). But aside from that, the food is perfect. read more

AMAZING authentic Philippine food! The host/owner is a great conversationalist and walked us through all of the dishes, ingredients and origin. Amazing experience! read more

Delicious !!! We got the pancit and bbq chicken. I am bummed we forgot to order some lumpia but definitely coming back to try more. My husband is Filipino and since we moved to Oregon over a year ago, he's missed Filipino food so badly. So now we have a place we can go get a little piece of home. My husband grabbed the takeout but he said the staff was extremely friendly and also mentioned their menu inside is more updated than on their website. 10/10, we will be coming back for sure. read more

Delicious food, the flavors were truly amazing! The owner helped us to decide what we wanted to try by asking us what types of food we liked and found comparable flavors that he said we might enjoy! The restaurant itself was small but very well decorated and cozy. The rustic decor and bamboo wall divider set a very tropical feel, yet made it seem more inviting! I look forward to trying some of the meat dishes next time, as we were having to go all vegetarian this time due to my sister in laws dietary needs. In addition, we also got to try the desserts, including the Ube jam, the Sapin Sapin and the cassava cake, all which were terrific, not too sweet, but a distinct flavor of vanilla rum in the Sapin, which was a sticky rice pudding... the Ube jam I could see spreading that on ice cream, toast or just about anything! Soo much flavor! I'll definitely be back! read more

The food at this restaurant is authentic and the wait time was minimal. I visit this place at least twice a month and have never been disappointed. read more

Very cute little spot. My kids and I really loved the Filipino spaghetti. Wasn't too sweet or too savory. My son gave it a thumbs up! We also got Sig sig, which a lot of restaurants and carts don't offer. I feel like this place is comfort food. The service was very good and the owner who helped us was very nice. He was curious how far we traveled to eat there. 120 minutes! It was worth it. Will go back! read more

New family owned Filipino restaurant in Bethany (on west side of Portland). Took over the old Chicken Adobo location. Tried it because it's important to support local Fil-Am businesses. But please note this is NOT fast food. So recommend calling your order ahead of time or wait in your car. My hubby and I chose to wait outside. Waited 30 minutes but we ordered at least 5 different dishes. There are heat lamps outside the door but make sure to turn the timer on. Food was all yummy, but need to try the rest with next visit and hopefully they have buko salad next time. read more

The only Filipino restaurant in the Bethany area. I love their kare-kare, beef sinigang, sumpia, and Filipino spaghetti, but I wish they served seafood like shrimp ukoy, bangus, daing, or fried pompano. The service is great and the place is tiny but cute. read more

Delicious options & full of flavor! I tried chicken adobo with rice & pancit, both were very tasty and filling. The restaurant is small with limited seating but personally, I usually do take out so it worked fine for me. I'll definitely return to try other dishes as well! read more

The Adobe was delightful. We are always on the hunt for a perfectly spiced dish and this was it!!! My husband and I were in the Philippines 10 years ago and I feel like this is the first time I had an adobo that actually matched the taste we've been looking for. Thank you ! My taste buds are grateful. read more

Best Filipino food I've had from a Filipino restaurant, hands down. Pancit tastes just like my Lola's and the lumpia with spicy vinegar and calamansi sauce was fantastic. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for good authentic Filipino food! read more

Best filipino food in town... Their owner is very helpful and passionate about what he does, and it comes through in his service and cooking. read more

a little cozy filipino restaurant here at Portland. I didn't expect I could find a homemade filipino food around the area and didn't disappoint. The Owner/Manager was very accommodating and gave us so much suggestion. read more

I wish this place had a bigger dining area because I'm pretty sure a lot more people would eat here because the food is good and the people who work here are attentive to their customers. But nonetheless, the food was pretty good and serving size for the price is reasonable. read more

Kubo - Sisig and Pancit Bihon Plate - Filipino Near Me - Portland, Oregon

In search of finding good Filipino restaurants in Oregon, I was going to give up until I ate here at Kubo. Originally I had planned to go to a different Filipino restaurant but to my luck they were closed and I ended going to Kubo. Small literally restaurant with HUGE flavors that remind me of home. I ordered the Lechon kawali, pork sisig with egg, and a side of sinigang broth. The place was decorated with banana leaves and bamboos, and reminded me so much of the Philippines. The ambiance was so homey that it was instagram worthy. The FOOD- was AMAZING. The sinigang had depths of rich beef flavor, sour as I liked, huge tamarind flavors and crunchy vegetables such as taro root, string beans, okra and tomato. It was hot and comforting. The Lechon was crunchy, it was okay but the highlight and it came with a home made liver mantomas. The liver was light and sweet. It also came with a side of achata, which was a pickled papaya carrots and onions. My second favorite after the sinigang broth was the pork sisig. It was crunchy because they used the Lechon kawali as their base, chilli, onion, and came out on a sizzling plate with a side of housemade CHILLI garlic vinegar and the owner also gave me a calamansi vinegar and fish sauce sauce as well. IT PAIRED GREAT with the sisig, and I poured it all over my rice. It was a good spice, sweetness and sourness to everything. Nothing was too oily or fatty. The service as well was great- the owner felt personable and really wanted to get to know his customers. You can tell the owner had passion for not only Filipino food but for his culture. A small gem hidden in the suburbs. Will come again! If you want AUTHENTIC FLAVORFUL Filipino food! Try them out. read more

I tried Filipino food for the very first time. I ordered Chicken Adobo with rice and lumping. The service was SUPER AMAZING, friendly and just lovely. Not a great place for dining but I was lucky to see one of the two tables was available when I visited. Highly recommend, support local small businesses. read more

I and my wife went through some horrible Portland traffic to get to this place. After fighting all the traffic we found that this place was worth it. My wife had the chicken adobo and the pansit. I had the chicken adobo and the lumpia appetizer A little background of myself. I served in the US Navy and have been to the Philippines. I assure you that this place makes Lumpia right. It was an awesome experience. Both the food and the service was great. We will be back. read more

Excellent food and amazing service. Finally a good filipino food in portland area. Would highly recommend this restaurant for good authentic food read more

Rex and his team there are excellent in there customer service and in the Quality of their food. Not a ton of Filipino food here in Portland so to have a spot really close to my house that absolutely hits, it's a 5 star for sure. They catered some dishes for my Baby shower party and everyone was really loving their Caldereta, Chicken and Pork Adobo (I had to get both), and Pancit. My guests were extremely satisfied with the food and I couldn't be more thankful to have great Filipino food in the area. Best part is that Their catering prices are really really fair! Will definitely be catering from them for future events. My grandma would have been impressed for sure. -Mike Abang read more
