KUBO

KUBO brings a one-of-a-kind Filipino food experience to Belfast, channelling tradition and family recipes through a modern lens. Its mission is as much about flavour as it is about culture: to share the tastes of the Philippines with Northern Ireland while telling their stories through food, events and supper clubs.

On the plate, bright, comforting and boldly seasoned notes mingle — citrus, smoke and sweetness meeting umami depth. House favourites include Kubo Jolli Chicken, a crisp boneless thigh glossed in lemongrass and ginger sticky sauce with a lick of calamansi mayo, and Filipino Pork BBQ skewers, marinated in soy, garlic and 7-Up then brushed with pineapple banana ketchup. There are Beef Kare Kare Dumplings with peanut annatto sauce and peanut chili crisp, and Inasal Chicken Wings slicked with annatto chicken butter. Sides run from Garlic Bay Leaf Rice to addictive Chicken Skin Chicharon, with punchy condiments like crab fat “talangka” mayo close to hand.

True to its name, KUBO also celebrates the communal spirit of the islands with Belfast’s first authentic Kamayan Kit — a boodle-style, banana leaf-lined box brimming with Filipino favourites, designed for sharing and discovery. It is tradition remixed for the city, inviting diners to taste, learn and linger.

Save room for a sweet finish, from Ube Tres Leches to Mango Sago, and let the island vibes carry you away. Gather your crew, come curious, and dive into KUBO — a little archipelago of flavour right in Belfast.
