Went to Kubo for brunch/lunch before the start of a play at the Wit, which is right across the street from the restaurant. Great music played through out the time we were there and the food and drinks were AMAZING! From the appetizers (seafood balls & eggrolls) to the main courses (lechon kawali, pork ribs adobo, & pancit) and dessert (chocolate cake & turon a la mode), everything was delicious. The service was great and I am looking forward to returning and eating there again.

Kubo is an incredible authentic Filipino restaurant! They have great food and their service is absolutely wonderful. They also played the best music from the early 2000s and the vibe was awesome!

We were grabbing a quick dinner before going to theatre at the Wit. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious as well. Loved the chicken egg rolls and seafood balls. The rose was excellent! Will definitely dine there again.

we dined with other theatre friends on the outdoor patio - beautiful night. as we ate, a long banquet table was being prepared for a group of 20 who had pre-ordered a Kamyahan (sp?) - a traditional Filipino feast and totally "hands on"! ... as we were leaving, the banquet group was having a drink inside and they were VERY excited for this experience. We're going to have to try that!! looks FABULOUS and OH-SO-FUN!!

Lovely sitting outside. The plants are beautiful. Service is good and very friendly, as always. My chicken sandwich was yummy (and oh those fries!!!!!). my friend didn't care as much for her choice but she misunderstood the preparation (was expecting grilled or broiled, not fried, fish). But we had a pleasant time and will go back again and again. It's a perfect spot pre or post theater (cross the street)
