Nestled in Leslieville, Kubo Radio is a cozy Asian Pub and Eatery with a comfy, creative vibe. Kubo offers $3 pints, friendly service, and an amazing menu, as well as catering and delivery. We took refuge on a windy Thursday night, and were instantly warmed up by the red-and-black decor and candelit atmosphere. Sitting pretty at a high window table near the sweeping velvet curtains that block drafts from entering with customers, we split a plate of ‘Wham, Bam, Thank You Yam!,’ ($6.95) delicious sweet potato dumplings served piping hot with crispy dough and a maple-ginger glaze. The ‘F.O.B’ ($13.95) Vegetarian Chow Mein, was flavourful and packed with veggies, and the ‘Ice Ice Baby’ ($13.95) Vanilla Thai Curry was sweet and unexpected. The only disappointment of the meal was that they were out of the Curry Vegetable Roti, but that gives us an excuse to return to this cozy east-end eatery. With a large menu full of veggie and meat options, like Peking Duck, Jerk Chicken Stew, and Striploin with Beet Chips, this restaurant takes comfort food to an exotic new level. This is the perfect place for a relaxed dinner with an old friend, or a good creative choice to impress a first date.
