"At odds with its small, colorful interior that’s tucked away in an Albany Park strip mall, Subo’s menu is massive. With over 20 entrees, plus empanadas, multiple types of egg rolls, and six dessert options, it’s a very comprehensive survey of Filipino food. They have everything from garlic rice breakfast bowls with eggs, to classics like sinigang or “chocolate meat”, a.k.a. dinuguan. This comforting, vinegary pork blood stew is not actually made from some kid’s Halloween haul, but gets its nickname from its rich dark color. But the best part about Subo is their combo plates—which let you try a couple of dishes (all served with rice) so you don’t need to show up with an entire army to make your way through their large menu. Though if you do show up with an entire army, their $15 mountain of pancit is an incredible deal." - john ringor
