Reviews for SUBO Filipino Kitchen in Chicago, IL
Lots of flavor, great portion sizes and prices, quick service, my mouth is watering as I write this
Definitely get the Filipino breakfast! One of my go to Filipino restaurants in the area when I have a craving. I always get the... breakfast combos as it's a good price for your buck and the quality is good. I would pass on the empanadas. When I had them lasttime they were too dry and lacking in addition flavors from vegetables. They do have dine in and carry out. I would recommendordering through their website as 3rd party delivery increases their prices. No outdoor seating so no pets. They offer cateringfor your party/gathering needs. Limited seating inside so I wouldn't recommend huge groups. Read more
Every time we travel, we always look up for Filipino restaurants to try. We chose SUBO because it has 4.6 stars. The sinigang... was great. We were a little disappointed with the pancit noodles and adobo. They were salty. They also made a mistake with ourorder. My husband was excited to try Filipino chicken curry but we were given kare kare. We only realized it when we got back tothe hotel. Read more
UPDATE: May 1 I ordered again for delivery. This time I added the BBQ chicken skewer to my regular order of lumpia and pancit.... Again, wish the pancit had no lemon wedge because it makes things taste a bit sour. I should have probably called and asked themto omit it, but it didn?t occur to me. Also, I love cabbage in my pancit and Subo never has enough. It?s like cabbage scrapswere just thrown in. I wish there was a side order of just steamed cabbage because I would order that to go with my pancit. Thenew item of the BBQ chicken skewer was super flavorful. I loved it, however, after I bit into it, I started ripping the chickenoff the skewer with my fork. I found the chicken to need a bit more cooking for my liking. I thought it could?ve stayed cookinga couple more minutes for me. It still was a bit under/pink for me. All in all, good prices, good amount of food, I willcontinue to order. I ordered thru grubhub. This was my first time trying this place. I had 1 order of pancit. 1 order oflumpia. The lumpia was pork, but it had an odd flavor. Not that it was bad. It was just different...not the typical flavor I?vehad in my pork lumpia. The pancit also was good. Al of the food arrived super hot and fresh. The pancit also had a differentflavor to it, but that didn?t make it bad. The cabbage in the lumpia was my favorite, but to be fair, I also love cabbage. Therewas a lemon wedge in the pancit that gave a strong flavor and odor to the pancit that I could have done without. Overall, Iwould certainly try this place again. Read more
This place is amazing! With the on set of quarantine, I was craving for some familiar Take out cuisine. In Chicago Filipino food... is hit and miss, it?s either over priced at a mediocre quality or cheap and not edible. I ordered bistek, pancit sotanghon andkari kari.. all three dishes were sarap, also got lumpia surprise in my bag :) The price was reasonable, did not give me aheartburn :) TIPS: they don?t deliver, pick up only, they accept credit cards and located at a strip mall, free parking was notan issue.

Refreshing to see a fast food set up for Filipino restaurant. Place was simple and spacious with minimal hassle free design. For... the price it?s a thumbs up it?s good point for affordability! Why 3 the food wasn?t superb, I ordered Kare Kare and I was servedwith tripe and no meat or vegetable with shrimp paste that was watery. Eggplant omelette was bland and oily..the rice was dryand hard not fluffy.. also the garlic rice needs some salt and garlic please it was just oil ,the tapa it was big portion andvery tender but didn?t quite taste like the tapa from how tapsilogan in Manila it lacked the flavor. Pleasing staff and quickservice cheap eats but needs to work on flavors! Read more
Priced very reasonably. Their breakfast (silog) bowls are $5.95 all day! At that price the bangus (milk fish) was smaller than... expected. They did give a good amount of tocino. All the food we bought tasted very good. It you are feeling brave, they evenhave chocolate meat (dinaguang). Cracked me up that's what they had it listed as. We definitely will be going here again. Ifyou live in the city, just take the brown line all the way to Kimball and Subo is across the street in a strip mall next to thlaundry mat. Read more
