"Kubo is a cozy Filipino restaurant that has the atmosphere of a neighborhood dive bar. With over 20 types of martinis, plus cocktails and beer, this place is filled with friends catching up over drinks on the weekend, or locals getting a therapy session from the bartender after a long day at work. Their menu has staples like crispy chicken lumpia, pancit canton, or savory adobo short ribs. But we also love their kansi, a tamarind-based soup full of vegetables, bone marrow, and tender beef shank. At its busiest, the whole restaurant might have “Bohemian Rhapsody” blasting from the speakers and every table and barstool filled. But on a slower night, the dim lighting and delicious food make it a great spot for a lowkey date or group dinner." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
