“ Went here on a week day with a friend. Service: excellent! Friendly staff Ambience: good, nothing stood out but cheerful and intimate. Food: I had the ramen, my fiend had the maki special rolls l. They were very good but the ramen was a tad too salty for my tastes (yes, even by ramen standards). Would I return? If I lived local, it's a good sushi option. ”
“ In my opinion, best sushi in the area. Staff is always friendly and super helpful. Great specials. Try their ramen too ”
“ Terrific service and vibe. We had no idea how hip Elgin is. Kubo is no exception. The sushi chef was accomodating for my request to have the sunamuno salad with tuna, instead of either shrimp or octopus. I can't get over how amiable and responsive the service is there. We were happy to find this gem en route to Ohare. It was worth barely making our flight! ”
“ I ordered take out from this restaurant and everything was great. I had drinks here before also and was happy at the martinis the bar tender served up. Cheers! ”
