Kasama Chicago Reviews
Delicious and totally worth the hype.
I've always wanted to try Kasama but on my previous trips to Chicago just never found the time. However, on my most recent trip I had a free day and decided to take advantage by finally trying this spot. I ordered online on a Friday at around 1

If you get there between 8:00a-8:15a, there's a good chance you'll get in with the first wave of seating. Also, you can usually find a few street parking spots on that street less than a block away. When we come outside at/near 9:45a, the l
Breakfast sandwiches were amazing! We placed an order
Breakfast sandwiches were amazing! We placed an order before 10am on a Sunday and had to wait to get our order until 1:30pm. I would suggest planning a morning and ordering before you want to eat
So amazing.
Line was insane (waited 1.5 hours to get a table). Truffle croissant and cheesecake were highlights. Breakfast sandwich was also really good, hashbrown made it even better. Will definitely be back - but for takeout next time
First and only Michelin Star Filipino restaurant.
..definitely had to try. We actually got there an hour early before opening on a Sunday so we were 3rd in line. The line was super long once they opened. The restaurant is small and not much seating and they make sure to not rush for food quality foo

KASAMA IS WORTH ALL THE HYPE!!! We finally got the chance to get it for takeout by ordering online in advance (lines are notoriously long and for good reason). We got the Filipino breakfast--1 mushroom version, a second that was special Filipino saus
I realize you are not going to eat here or avoid this place
I realize you are not going to eat here or avoid this place based on my review. It has a goddamn Michelin star at the end of the day. The authority has spoken. The food is excellent and will not disappoint you. But will you regret ordering it as take

When I told people I was moving to Chicago this was the first spot that was recommended to me (by a fellow Yelper)!! Finally got around to trying it out and I'm so glad we did!! The best way to order here is definitely to order online. The ord
Talk about hype.
I've been hearing about this breakfast sandwich for years and I finally got my hands on one. Kasama is a Michelin star Filipino restaurant in downtown Chicago that is known specifically for their breakfast. If you come, be prepared to wait in
This place came recommended but it is small so I suggest
This place came recommended but it is small so I suggest ordering to go or trying to get in just before the kitchen closes at 2 pm. Then it is only a bakery. I wanted something sweet and savory and it did not disappoint. The lumpia was crispy and fla

Tldr: The breakfast sandwich was amazing, get it if you're here for the brunch! I came here with a friend on a weekday noonish, and was surprised to see that there wasnt much of a line for this super well known spot. I had heard that its best t
We were looking for some unique pastries and saw this
We were looking for some unique pastries and saw this Filipino spot recommended quite a bit. We'd read that the lines can get pretty long, so even though we went on a weekday, we didn't want to take any chances and placed an online order in

Skip the line by ordering online, but know that it may take HOURS before your order is ready. During our most recent Sunday visit, we placed an order at 9:55 am, and it wasn't ready for pickup until 1 pm. Pretty brutal. There must be an easier w

I can't get over how amazing the longanisa sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich is. I did takeout this past weekend since my friend was visiting from Denver, and she absolutely loved it too. Ordering for pickup is such a breeze, I can sk

Food: as a Filipino American, I love to see our culture highlighted successfully and proudly! The breakfast sandwich with the added hash brown and the ensemada was perfectly made. In the breakfast sandwich, there is a longanisa sausage, which I have
Ok, I definitely see the hype now.
I finally finally made it to Kasama with a friend visiting from LA, and we were blown away by the breakfast longasnisa Sammie (with hash browns added). We did indeed have to wait just over an hour on a Friday in the late morning hours, but we thoug
Dinner service update: husband and I enjoyed the dinner
Dinner service update: husband and I enjoyed the dinner tasting menu. Asian and seafood influence was a breath of fresh air surrounded by so many mid west steakhouses. The truffle croissants were stand out. Filipino Longanisa makes an appearance and
So good.
It really does live up to the hype. I visited for breakfast and it really was one of the best breakfast meals I've ever had. Worth a special trip.
Order wayyyyy in advance.
We ordered at 10 am and food wasn't going to be ready until 1 PM, which is typical there and it's worth it. We got the sausage breakfast sandwich, the egg and hash brown sandwich and the chicken adobo. The chicken adobo was a 10/10. Everyon

Must get items: Foie gras danish, sweet corn danish, truffle croissant, ube ensaymada, ham and cheese danish, longanisa breakfast sandwich. Was in town for a friend's birthday and so glad managed to try Kasama. Online pickup order is the way to
This place is all hype.
It's basically white people hyping up common street food. Ordered on line. It's laughable that anyone would wait one minute in line for this.
This place is very cute!! Super popular place we got tons
This place is very cute!! Super popular place we got tons of recs to go here. It was my first time in Chicago so had to try! The food is good, the breakfast platter was my favorite even though I got the pork adobo. If you are a real meat lover get th

My husband and I were in Wisconsin for the weekend and decided to do a quick day trip to Chicago to try out Kasama. We've heard many good things and would like to support a filipino restaurant. The restaurant is very clean and the ambiance was c
I love Kasama and their take on modern Filipino cuisine.
I often order takeout because the lines are long and barely budge. My go to order is the longanisa breakfast sandwich and the lumpia. Sometimes I get something from the bakery but have to budget most of the time. Great for a sporadic treat!
I waited about 2.
5 hours in line to eat here and honestly if there wasn't the wait my rating would be higher. Reading reviews on yelp everyone was recommending the breakfast sandwich. Initially I was like "What's so special about a breakfast sandwich??
Worth Every Minute of Waiting in Line
Absolutely amazing! Do get arrive early though, at least an hour early! No joke! My wife and I arrived at 7:45 and they don't open until 9. When we arrived there were already 10 people in line, and once we tasted what they had we could easil

tried this place because my coworkers cousin raved about it super thankful there was only 1 party in front of us since some of the yelp reviews talked about how people waited in line for over an hour! i would say this is a slightly elevated filipino

hi my name is maisune and i spent $100+ on these pastries and i would it again. can i afford to do it often? no. did i share? yes. did it take us 4 days to eat through them? yes. this was decadent and made of the finest ingredients. i literally live
First time trying a Michelin restaurant my friend
First time trying a Michelin restaurant my friend recommended it and I didn't know how popular it was 'cause of the Bear TV show. This place was had a long line at around 10am on a weekend. We waited for about an hour, so that was probabl
Kasama deserves all the attention it gets.
I had the breakfast sandwich, and it's easily one of the best I've ever had. The souffle-like egg paired with the longanisa created such a perfect bite. It's on the Michelin guide for a reason. A must-visit when in Chicago. A good tip
We live around the corner and always see the line.
Though to ourselves... is it really worth it? Spoiler alert, it is! The star of the show here for me is the pastries. The apple hand pie was like heaven in my mouth. The breakfast sandwiches were good, probably would be amazing hungover. I got mine w
Everyone hypes this place up, and it's even a Michelin star
Everyone hypes this place up, and it's even a Michelin star rated restaurant. The kare kare is good in flavor, but the meatloaf wouldn't be my first choice of protein for this dish even though it does still work. The longanisa breakfast s

Kasama operates as a bakery/café by day and transforms into fine dining at night. I didn't try the $295 tasting menu, but I did sample their pastries. With a Michelin star and James Beard Award, it's no surprise this spot is extremely popu
Love coming here for brunch.
One of the most delicious place I had in Chicago. The ham and cheese danish is the best I had anywhere. The filipino breakfast is also very good: fragrant garlic rice, juicy sausages and a sunny side up egg. My friends had mushroom and chicken adobos
OVERVIEW: 4.
5/5 - With tip, I spent nearly $70 on breakfast for a plate, drink, and two pastries. Arrived on a Sunday morning around 8:30am and waited about 1.5 hrs. in line before we made it through the door to order. There are a handful of tables inside, bar s
We waited for ~1.
5hrs to dine in on a Saturday. We lined up around 11am and ordered at 12:20pm. Drinks and pastries came out immediately after we sat down and food came shortly after. The service is quick, nothing special. We ordered the ube latte, ube and huckleberr
I was a little bit skeptical (cus im filipino.
Lol.) but had always wanted to try since forever now and Michelin! Finally went back to Chicago, and I am stoked I finally got to go! There was a line and we waited maybe an hour and some change. Went inside and saw the pastries right away. Lemme te
or I'm used to Asian and Filipino food being a certain way.
Or maybe I'm not the intended audience. The quality of the ingredients is there, but maybe the execution isn't for me. Chicken Adobo was tender and juicy, but not amazing. I feel like I had better chicken thighs from the Labor Day family
Meatloaf was amazing - i loved it.
chocolate chip cookie - pretty forgettable and disappointing. Foie Gras Danish was SUPER disappointing and i love foie gras. Pecan Sticky Bun was alright Ube & Coconut "Ensaymada" was pretty yummy. i tried my friends items they ordered
Worth the hype.
I think you should online order if you don't care about sitting inside and enjoying your meal there. Their specialty pastries are 100000% the move. If you see the matcha pandan eclair, ORDER IMMEDIATELY. The longganisa sandwich was delicious, I
Wow, this place was really busy.
Waited in line for two hours and got the longganisa sandwich, ube coffee, and banana bread (they sold out of the other baked goods that I wanted). Longganisa sandwich - Found the longganisa itself a little salty but it also just tasted like regular
Delicious food!
Loved their breakfast and dinner service. Recommend the crème fraiche cheesecake, mushroom adobo, coconut ube ensaymada and dinner tasting menu! Great customer service as well!
Is any place worth a one-hour queue?
British people love waiting in line, but 60+ minutes feels a little excessive. That said, I was on holiday and knew it would be popular, so I was pretty chilled about the experience. The queue is understandable when you see how small it is inside,
Kasama enables cheaters to cut their 2+ hour wait lines
We spent over 2 hours in line this morning waiting for breakfast. While we waited, we witnessed a number of people entering the dining area through a gap in the fence to join parties where someone else had ordered for them. Essentially, these diner
You'll wait, you'll pay, you'll enjoy the food
Surely benefited in popularity by a Season 2 spot on "The Bear" Kasama features the work of Genie Kwon and Tim Flores, stints at Michelin-starred Boka and Oriole yielding a Tasting Menu dinner and more casual daytime menu spotlighting Filip
Good breakfast, try for dinner reservation instead
Definitely order ahead no matter what, the line was out the door even late morning on a thursday. The breakfast sandwhich was great and the pastries looked incredible. This place was raved about and it appears like their dinner menu (reservation only
A disappointing Michelin experience
As a Filipino, we were excited to try Kasama, especially given its Michelin recognition, but we were left feeling a bit let down. Despite a 1.5-hour wait, which is often expected for popular spots, the food itself didn’t taste as authentic as we ha
Worth It
We normally do not seek out fancy multi-course meals but we made an exception on this one. We couldn’t get a reservation during a previous trip to Chicago so we made sure we reserved 45 days out this time. Yes, the splurge was worth it. The tasti
5 stars just for the croissant.
No, literally. That's all I want for breakfast, anything else ehhhh... if I have to. Kasama offered many different pastries as well as breakfast/lunch items and made deciding what to order very hard. I will say this place is popping and there will mo
I went to the restaurant at 9:45 am on a weekday and there
I went to the restaurant at 9:45 am on a weekday and there was a really long line outside. I had to wait for an hour to get a table. The food was really good though, especially the pastries. I wouldn't wait in a cold for an hour for this kind of food
Connect with users posting reservations for Kasama Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Kasama Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kasama Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kasama Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Kasama Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kasama Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
