KUBO Asian fusion and bar in Fort Lauderdale offers a unique blend of Asian flavors, anime-inspired atmosphere, and a full bar. Established in December 2017, this Ft. Lauderdale restaurant invites you to explore a variety of sushi, Filipino, and Japanese dishes alongside boba tea and handcrafted cocktails. Whether you're looking for a late-night hangout or a lively happy hour, KUBO Asian fusion and bar promises an entertaining dining experience.
A very unique and fun designed Asian resturant. The atmosphere is laid back and would be a great place to meet with friends and family for drinks and food.
The food itself was actually really good. There is also a wide variety of choices such as sushi, ramen, noodle dishes, poke bowels, and many more.
Service was extremely good and never felt forgotten.
The only minor feedback is I would say price for portions mighty be slightly skewed but the quality is there to back it up.
Overall, a great place to eat.
Kubo Sushi is a solid choice for fresh sushi in Fort Lauderdale. The ambiance is modern yet inviting, with a stylish interior that feels both upscale and comfortable. The dim lighting and sleek decor create a nice atmosphere for a date night or casual dinner with friends.
The service was friendly and attentive, though there were moments when things felt a bit slow. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations, but it took a little longer than expected to get our drinks and food.
As for the food, the sushi was fresh and well-prepared, with creative rolls and quality ingredients. The specialty rolls had great flavor combinations, and the fish-to-rice ratio was just right. The hot dishes were also well-executed.
Overall, Kubo Sushi is a great spot for good sushi in a nice setting. A little improvement in pacing would make the experience even better, but it’s definitely worth a visit!
Came here with 2 friends on a whim. I love Asian fusion, and I was pleasantly surprised by this place! The food came out fast, but tasted fresh. We got the crispy tuna that was amazing (if you haven’t gotten this before somewhere, it’s a must). I can’t tell you the name of your pork belly dish I got, it was in the entree section on the top right, spicy and delicious. My gf got the poke bowl with Tuna that was delightful. The only thing that wasn’t good was the shrimp shumai. Would happily come back here
Asian food has never really been on my radar; however, this Asian Fusion restaurant has me thinking differently.
I had an awesome lunch at Kubo. The menu is extensive and perhaps a bit overwhelming if you’re not familiar with the dishes.For starters I got the vegetable springs rolls which were hot and crispy, then the ginger sauce entree with tofu, which was full of flavor.
This is a fairly large restaurant with a full bar too. I saw some interesting looking drinks on the menu and since they’re open late (until midnight) I will be coming back for that experience. Overall, I left with a great first
impression.
It was my first (and my girlfriends) time here. Everything was Deeeelicious! We were very pleasantly surprised with the soups and the appetizers were awesome as well. We came to celebrate my future nuptials with a little "girl" talk. The environment was perfect. We stayed until closing :)
"Air" our server recommended some entrees as well as teas and saki. I wish we had more time, but will be back!
I sat at the bar, bartender was attentive with friendly personality. Service was quick and food was good. I had the kao soi Ramen.
Best ramen I’ve ever had and the sushi is delicious.
Friendly service sat right down at 10:30 for dinner and the server was busy but still made it over quickly. Nice full bar and sushi. I started with a seaweed salad, very fresh and tasty withstand carrots and cucumber Then the homage pork dumplings came nicely steamed with flavor and light crunch. Then came the Tam Kah soup with shrimp. they were kind enough to remove the tails. the soup was so full of flavor it was terrific! Followed by the Salmon lover spicy roll. the music was top 40 in the background and not loud at all. just perfect background music. Sweet chilli wings came as my meal this was a perfect meal to complete a full day.
Great food and price. Nice place to spend time with family or friends.

Good food. Noisy but clean and decent grub. I’d go back
The best Asian fusion, Their spicy edamame is to die for 🤍
5 ⭐️and 👍👍👍👍👍 up, I absolutely love when you find a Restaurant with the food and a presentation is spectacular .The sushi and sashimi “”single”” was so fresh it melted in your mouth. And we are so please to have our waiter Pete great job
Right one is a chicken ramen, and on the left is a vegetarian one. With 2 drinks suggested by the waitress. Good suggestion!
If you’re looking for authentic Thai cuisine in Fort Lauderdale, I highly recommend Kubo
Food here is excellent but service is slow, they are understaffed and the people work furiously but it's not enough people. Ambiance is decent, it's in a strip mall so they do the best that they can with the interior. The ramen is bespoke and absolutely delicious, the sushi is fresh and the menu is expansive. In fort Lauderdale I think it's one of the best Asian restaurants. Go visit!
Top of the line sushi only 2.3 miles from the airport. So much variety and I wanted to eat everyone's thai dish, even though my sushi was five star. The atmosphere is sophisticated. The bartender was making extrodinary cocktails.
I try to come here whenever I'm in the Fort Lauderdale area. Good variety and excellent food that never disappoints.
Nice place for lunch
Excellent ramen and pad thai and the staff were fantastic. I messed up my to-go order and accidentally ordered two meals and they were very kind and refunded me. Highly recommend!
Great food and service. Will return.
Everything I ordered was very good. Granted, this is Fort Lauderdale and most options are a little more expensive than you’d typically encounter but the quality didn’t disappoint. I had the chicken phad Thai and gyoza and my friends had a soup and roll for their lunch and said their dishes were good as well.
Excellent service, traditional Filipino cuisine made with fresh ingredients. The food was prepared quickly and delicious. Helpful and friendly staff.
Staff will remember you and make you feel at home - sushi is amazing - Thai food is amazing - also the fusion dishes are impressive - the kubo ramen is particularly delicious- highly recommend it - this place always delivers high quality
Kubo never disappoints. Food was delicious, especially the Kubo Fried Rice.
Recommend combination fried rice... delicious!! 🤤
The food here is always fresh and tasty! I love my Lechee Popping Lemonade 😋
What stood out the most was that the hostess was extremely cold, unfriendly and quite condescending. Then the ramen was mediocre (a little lower quality than ramen you’d get at the mall) and the meat tasted warmed up from the previous day. I personally would never order here again.
Nice place to enjoy a good Ramen and flavorful sushi. Nice service from the waitress and the runners.
I love coming here to eat and ordering for takeout. The food & service Is always great. Definitely a must try, they never miss!
Our party of 5 had a great meal and could select from dozens of options from sashimi, curries, ramen and oysters. All were delicious with large portions. The atmosphere was fun with Anime as the backdrop. Super good food, good service.
It was a little noise for conversation but I would go back again in a heartbeat!
This place is lit 🔥 food, service and especially cocktails is very creative . Will be back
Terrible service when you order for pick up
Great food but staff has a terrible service every time you order over the phone today was the forth time.
Love this place!! Lots of choices from really fresh sushi to ramens!!
One of my favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, been coming before they expanded. Kubo has great food, unique and service is always perfect. If you are south of the tunnel or on 17th street this is a must try... you will be hooked!

Some of the most velvety, smooth, and flavorful sushi I've had. Great prices and selection.
big pieces of sushi!!
2nd time here & it’s amazing as always! Wagu fried rice & coconut salmon a total hit! Recommend it to anyone who loves Asian delights! —Debra G
This place is always amazing. It’s a regular spot for us. Has great sushi and a variety of other options. Awesome atmosphere and makes a killer lychee martini. Been coming here for years and it’s one of my favorite restaurants in town. Good vegetarian options as well.

We had the crab Rangoon, bao buns, KUBO ramen and beef plate. The KUBO ramen was outstanding. So flavorful. Service and food was outstanding. We will be back again. Definitely try this place out.
Nice place to try the cuisine. Didn't try the sushi but a lot of other people did.
Love this place! Great food And affordable
Great place nice decorations and good flavors and options
Great place.
Food is OK, hit and miss kind. Service is ok most of the time, maybe a lot depends on the kitchen as we received our items at different times..I was done with my meal but my family has not received theirs..overall decent place..Will come back again
Every dish was on point. I ordered the shrimp Pad Thai. Appetizers included crab ragoon, pork dumplings, Spare ribs.
Omg my husband and I eat here at least 3x a month! Get the crab Rangoon wow it’ll change your life! But seriously order anything you’ll be happy. Hubby loves the panan curry with duck trust me get the 🦆
Came here with 2 friends on a whim. I love Asian fusion, and I was pleasantly surprised by this place! The food came out fast, but tasted fresh.

Always delicious & great service!!
The sushi is fresh and tastes great. Cute little place, well worth a visit
Curry Ramen was very good.
Amazing food and excellently crafted cocktails, with some of the best bartenders in town.
I’ve been coming here ever since Kubo was smaller and less known and it’s my go to place whenever I go out for Asian food!!! The quality of food, service, and ambiance have just gotten better and better. I absolutely recommend 100/10
Great Asian menue that spans the continent. Very high-quality food. Reasonable size portions.
The Sushi was amazing and the chicken teriyaki fried rice was exceptional.
Salmon sushi here was incredible.
This place is amazing! Food was out of this world! The server Angela is super sweet, patient and lovely. Definitely will
Be back! Thank you ✨💜
If you go on uber eats, there's so many BOGO deals. Yet, I will always pick Kubo. It's my 6th? time ordering here, and I have been here one time in person. All times have been amazing, I've tried Ube Taro Mousse, Jasmine Fruit Green Tea ( a favorite!), Kuba Lava and a few flavors of their croffles! (The cream they put on top is so light and fluffy and tasty!!) I recommend it all, my favorite dish is their wings. The ramen noodles are super good, and I love the broth. I have tried their sushi a few times, although none of the special rolls, the classics are nothing to complain about also. I always order them! I don't think you will be disappointed if you tried :)
If I can give zero stars I would this place is horrible!!!! No friend and completely oblivious to their customers. What a mistake to go to this hole in the wall
Signature ramen is amazing and the servers are always super kind from my experience. Been there about 3 times total so far. I always go back 😋
Good was good. Service was ok. I ate at the bar and they were pretty busy but getting a refill of soda took a while. I'm not upset but next time I'll try another place.
Excellent service, great food and drinks.
The Filipino food I tried at Kubo was fantastic the lumpia i had for lunch yesterday was hot and crispy on the outside and the pork filling was nice and juicy on the inside and the sisig was spicy, crispy, meaty, garlicky and porky. For dinner the sinigang was sour meaty and delicious. The sizzling bulgogi beef was sweet and meaty with the kimchi and rice it had a nice balance.
The food was delicious and it was a vibe. 😎
Never a miss for the best shushi in this neighborhood. Angela is the sweetest and our favorite server been coming to her for the past couple of years. Although we moved way North whenever we are in the neighborhood we always eat sushi here with a great environment, and the best smile that Angela always projects to my wife and I. Definitely recommend Kubo Asian fusion & Bar as well as Angela.
Always delicious and nice big portion sizes.
My husband and I go to place. Everything is served hot, fresh with little to no wait. We had their veggie spring rolls, which were a nice size hot and crispy. Their boa buns were nice, light, and fluffy, we had the pork, which I do miss the sticky bbq pork version. However, the new version is not bad, just expecting sticky bbq when I hear pork belly. Their pork belly fried rice was phenomenal. You can taste the smokyness from the wok. Their ramen was so savory and big with plenty of toppings but only came with half an egg which wasn't marinaded like most other places. Their bobas are incredible.
We've stopped going to our go-to (17th St. Thai) after stumbling upon KUBO. The food is distinctively better, service always on top of things, and just a better overall vibe. Our favorite dish is the Drunken noodle, the hand roll tuna is another of my husbands favorite, and the shrimp or soft shell crab bao buns are a must!
Highly suggest this place!
Wanted to try this place out as I was in Thailand just two weeks ago on vacation. I wanted to see how authentic they were. They are Asian fusion. Thai, PI, Japanese etc and very good. Place was clean, staff was friendly and very attentive. I'll be back again.
Love it here, the service is good and fast, the food is good and drinks are beautiful.
Always end up sitting at the bar and will probably opt for a bar seat every time, this place is amazing, friendly and entertaining. The food is next level good
Disappointing! It used to be a great place last year. But they have lost their focus and now it is just another so-so Asian restaurant with sloppy service and clubbing music.
Love the decor , lots of options on the menu , friendly staff that goes above and beyond to accommodate you . The food was very good
Outstanding! Table 25 people very affordable
Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and flavorful dishes that impressed us all. Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking Japanese cuisine!
This place is always on point! Service is friendly and attentive. Food is amazing every time. Bao buns are redic! They make a great old fashioned too.
Adoreee this place!
Though this place serves Filipino food and sushi, I think go here for their Thai food. They make the best pad kra pao for in the Fort Lauderdale area. It’s one of the places where you can order this dish with ground beef. The dish is spicy. My other favorite that they serve is Khao Soi. Lasty they do serve a mean Chinese BBQ pork fried rice. For dessert you have to try their croffles! It is so delicious!
Very clean and cozy restaurant. There is cool Japanese cartoon art all over the walls and lots of greenery. All sorts of customers eat here as well; there’s vegan options and lots of families/kids eat here. A diverse environment can be nice.
We were on vacation in Fort Lauderdale and wanted a break from all the steaks and pastas; this restaurant offers a wide variety of Asian food, from Japanese to Thai. We’ve been back to this restaurant many times and each time the waiters and waitresses are knowledgeable, patient, and very nice.
Caution: if you found this restaurant appealing because of the Warrior Lobster Roll (sushi) on yelp or google images, then just know that it isn’t as good as it looks. The lobster is cut into pieces (like a steak) and is fried in the batter, but it is HEAVILY battered—it’s more batter than lobster honestly, even though there is a lot of lobster meat under the layers of batter. It’s not for everyone. The menu does not list lobster as a protein option for Pad Thai and other dishes in the same section, but if you request it from the waiter then the dish’s protein could be lobster, which happens to be the same batter-heavy lobster as the one served with the Warrior Lobster Roll.
Otherwise, everything is delivered within ~15 minutes and the food is hot and delicious when it is served.
Highly recommend for a worthwhile lunch or dinner!
Asian food has never really been on my radar; however, this Asian Fusion restaurant has me thinking differently.

Update below: We used to be 5 stars...We have been ordering from Kubo well before their expansion and into the pandemic. Always excellent..except in 2022 it was off. But now it's better than before. One day we will have try it on site with the new expansion.
2024: The sushi went bland again and off. The chicken dish was dry and tasteless too. Please bring back the OG chef or whatever made you great.
Food was so good! And came out so quick, waiter was really nice and helped us figure out what to get, 😀 totally recommend!!!
Kubo Asian Fusion and Bar a Fort Lauderdale offre un'esperienza culinaria unica. La combinazione di sapori asiatici è straordinaria, con piatti impeccabili e creativi. L'atmosfera è raffinata e il servizio eccellente. Perfetto per una cena speciale o un incontro tra amici. Assolutamente da provare!
The halo-halo is good and overflowing (literally), the adobo in a bun is surprisingly good as well but the ramen is only okayish. I went here with my kids and they enjoyed the decoration with all the anime posters everywhere. The service is a bit slow as I think we went during the peak hour and the food are decently priced. I’d be back again for the halo-halo for sure.
My favorite spot. The food, service, and environment are all excellent. The menu is large and has something for everyone. Great boba as well.
Kubo is a wonderful place. Good vibe, good service, anime on the wall. Didn't understand why they didn't put on Dolphins Monday night football, but im nit picking haha. The food is great here. I typically get the Kao Soi Ramen every time, photo below, but all the Ramen is good. The Red Sea Ramen is great as well. The Crab Rangoons and Lumpia were delightful, picture below. Not too much breading and plenty of cream in the Rangoons. It comes with 5. The sauce they came with was delicious too. Also pictured below is the salmon. This was very good, but probably wont fill ya up if you need a lot of food to be satisfied. The pad thai, below, was solid. I definitely enjoyed that. A really good sushi selection as well. I definitely recommend Kubo.
Always a vibe food always great
The good was delicious 😋 .. it's Asian food, it has a little everything. I had sushi and pancit, with lumpias. Everything was so good. I wish I could have kept eating. 😪 but I was too stuffed. The drinks were pretty strong too. They don't skimp on the alcohol. It was a nice, cozy place. We went on a Sunday late afternoon. It was pretty busy , but we still were sat right away and food came out pretty quickly. Waitress was very promp and nice. The busy boy was all smiles just like the waitress. The price was great to me. We paid 235 including tip and we were stuffed. The table had 3 main entrees 2 sushi rolls, 2 mixed drinks and 2 beers and 3 appetizers. It looks like they have a large bar area, so I think they might open late nights as a full on bar. I don't know, but I'd go if they did. Fully recommend 👌 👏🏼 👍🏽.
Very flavorful fairly big portion of tasty panang curry chicken i had. also comes with miso soup or small saladhad brown rice as a base. paid 13,95 for this lunch special. will be back again for sure!
Hubs and I went out with another couple for lunch. They suggested KUBO because they have eaten there many times and love it. It's a pretty big restaurant with tables, booths and a bar. I had the spicy salmon poke bowl. It was very good, probably the best poke bowl I have had in Fort Lauderdale. The menu is huge with lots of choices like Ramen, pad Thai, sushi and more. I had a hard time deciding what to get. It all sounded yummy. All the more reason to go back. Staff was nice and attentive.
We come here often and the food and drinks are always amazing, and so is the staff, always accommodating. We love Kubo!
Food is great
Pretty good food and a beautiful environment. Their menu is very diverse.
This review was for their service. Very good customer service when I went there
Agradable restaurante de comida asiática … con una gran variedad de comida japonesa,china y tailandesa …. Me encantó la variedad sin lugar a dudas ….. todo lo que comimos nos gustó mucho tiene postres con una súper presentación y muy buen sabor, las bebidas súper ricas y variadas…. Con bubble tea de muchos sabores …. El personal que nos atendió súper amable y atento con nosotros en todo momento. El local no es tan grande pero muy limpio y agradable a la vista . Los precios son muy bien relacionados con la calidad de la comida 100%recomendado
My sushi roll was good (basic volcano).... the snapper was way over fried. The rest of the entrees (Raman and glass noodles were pretty good). I'd go back and try it again.
Amazing Philippino, Korean, Japanese and Thai food.
Fun environment and good food
Best sashimi, amazing food all around. Drinks are delicious. Always great upbeat vibes.
This place is a hidden gem
I order a soup and a basic roll and my order took an hour and a half. When I called the woman on the phone had a nasty attitude with me then claimed they were so busy. I’ve worked in restaurants, there’s no reason for a soup a basic menu item to take that long.
Great place overall. Will keep coming back.
Wow ! Food is amazing and large portion. 😋
Everything great but loses a star because I’ve tried different flavors of their boba and I don’t like the way they’re made unfortunately
I’ll start with the good - I thought the service and restaurant itself was solid no complaints at all. When it came to the food we ordered some dumplings to start and then sushi & Drunken Noodles for our mains. The dumplings were not anything to brag about but acceptable. As far as the Angry Bird Roll and Drunken Noodles - gross. The Drunken Noodles were served with a sauce that reminded me of a tomato sauce it was just not good. Worst of all I had a stomach ache after dinner. I’d pass on them in the future.
