Kubo's Story:
9 years ago, our family moved here from California in search of a better future. In that time we have fallen in love with Elgin and all that it has to offer. With hard work and dedication, my brother and I have brought our love and passion to the Elgin and its community. Kubo Sushi is the combination of traditional Japanese culture and food, with a slight Cali twist. You will experience a mouthwatering variety of fresh, hand crafted sushi and Japanese cuisine, as well as a variety of Japanese beers and craft sake and hand crafted sake cocktails. Our goal is for your experience to be a memorable one that keeps you coming back for more, whether you’re looking for a family friendly environment, or a hot night out on the town!

About Lords Park
This 108-acre regional park, located on the east side of Elgin, was first established in 1892 by the Lord family of Elgin. This park has a wonderful history and is currently home to some of the area's destination facilities including the Elgin Public Museum, the Lords Park Zoo, the historic Pavilion and the Lord's Park Aquatic Center. This park offers numerous facilities in a picturesque setting of mature Hickory and Oak trees on rolling terrain. Picnicking is a popular activity at one of the two permitted picnic shelters. Playgrounds, basketball and tennis complement the open play field used for practice or pickup games. A large little league baseball complex is part of the Lords Park property and includes ten fields used by the little league group.
