"After announcing an extended break in an Instagram post on May 2, Beaverton’s Magna Kubo has confirmed to the Oregonian that the closure is permanent. The lechoneria from chef and owner Carlo Lamagna first opened in early 2023 with a menu of Filipino-style rotisserie meats like lemongrass-marinated chicken, smoked brisket, and lechon. Though Magna Kubo is now closed, Lamagna’s cooking can still be enjoyed at Portland restaurant, Magna." - Rebecca Roland
"The Beaverton sibling restaurant to Southeast Clinton’s Magna Kusina, Magna Kubo specializes in Filipino meats — things like crispy pork rubbed with lemongrass and alliums, saucy ribs, or chicken marinated in calamansi juice and fish sauce. Start with an order of chicken wings, fried and coated in a combination of tamarind powder and annatto oil, and finish with Kubo’s next-level halo halo, loaded with house-made leche flan and ube ice cream." - Krista Garcia, Eater Staff
"Chef Carlo Lamagna’s west side expansion takes the form of a lechoneria, focused on the genre of Filipino rotisserie meats. At the counter service spot, diners choose from main proteins like lemongrass-marinated chicken, crispy pork belly, barbecue ribs, or a rotating deep fried fish to go along with rice, sinamak (house-made vinegar), and atchara (Filipino pickles). Save room for a sweet finish — the restaurant’s halo halo comes topped with ube ice cream and house-made leche flan." - Krista Garcia, Janey Wong
"Magna’s Filipino lechoneria in Beaverton is offering an alternative to the typical turkey this year, offering a meal of roasted pork belly with sides like menudo shepherd’s pie, squid ink pancit, and vegetables over tofu puree with adobo glaze. For dessert, Allie G’s pastries will offer pies a la carte, including flavors like mango peach and ube custard. Email bee@magnapdx.com to place an order; orders must be placed by November 19 for a Wednesday pickup." - Janey Wong, Eater Staff
"The lechoneria’s menu will leave it to the diner to build their own meals, selecting sides like pancit Canton or taro leaves cooked in coconut milk to eat with mains like lemongrass-marinated chicken, smoked brisket, or whole rainbow trout." - Janey Wong
