Kasama Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
WORTH THE HYPE!! I am in love with the ube latte and the
WORTH THE HYPE!! I am in love with the ube latte and the breakfast sandwich. It has a soft potato bun, folded egg, cheese, and I got mine with longanisa and a hash brown on the side. It's incredible, especially with a little hot sauce. But the longansia itself adds so much flavor to the breakfast sandwich - unlike any other breakfast sandwich I've tried! The use latte is the perfect level of sweetness but you can still taste the coffee and ube in it. The pastries are so unique and we loved everything we tried! The ube huckleberry cake is my favorite you have to get it! Tip: Don't wait in the long line, just place your order online for pick-up and you can skip the line to go pick up your order at the time they give you!
I got the Filipino breakfast.
It was good. I probably wouldn't come here just for it. I could probably make it at home tbh. But I would like to come back and try some other things on the menu. There was a line when we got there but it was moving fairly quick so we weren't waiting too long. We got seated outside which was nice but can be a little too hot if you're there in the summer.
The wait was worth it.
We had pastries and the Filipino breakfast. Super delicious and reminds me of home. Garlic fried rice and the pickled papaya!! The place looked so cute too and the staff were very friendly
We went in for their dinner experience and I have to say
We went in for their dinner experience and I have to say the menu was amazing. The Filipino menu with fine dining aspect was really different. I loved the adoption of the kare kare with lamb and the sinigang adoption with salmon. I couldn't pick anything to be the highlight because everything was. The cocktails were also great with addition of ube, calamansi, and coconut flavors. The service was good and the place was cozy. The desserts had a few pastry items that are offered for purchase during breakfast service times. I would recommend going if you're trying to find a new fine dining experience!
Utterly horrendous customer service.
No way to actually reach them by any means over the phone. Placed a pick up order wait time stated 30 mins, after the placement of the order at 11:15 it said 1:30 pm pick up! I dont care how good the food is, the fact that they actively choose to treat their customers in such manner on ridiculous lines (I previously attempted to go on a rainy day in person, ~50 people were washed away in the wind trying to place their order!) and unimaginable wait times for pick up shows blatant sign of disrespect for people that keep their business running. Anyone who supports this imo (myself included apparently today!) is just simply being fooled. Never again will I "dine" here. Again; your food can be outstanding, you may have made some epic list, and may have been on some hot new restaurant list, this doesn't mean you get to disrespect your customers. Period.
First time at a Michelin starred restaurant and I'm so glad
First time at a Michelin starred restaurant and I'm so glad it was here. It was so neat for me to try food that my friend grew up eating together. We tried the Filipino breakfast, lumpia, and an assortment of pastries. Everything was so delicious! The ube and coconut ensaymada was amazing and so was the ube and huckleberry cake! It does take a while to get your food. We opted for ordering out instead of waiting in the line. But waiting for our food inside was so neat. You can see back into the kitchen and the vibe is so calming and cool. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Everyone just seemed super happy to be there. I recommend for anyone in the area!
When i say the food was amazing.
..sheesh. we got the as takeout and even with the delay the food was perfect. The flavor and taste combination was perfect. The service was great even though it was super crowded. Outside of the wait time i have no complaints. Its definitely a cool vibe. Its not a huge place but its still gives a intimate vibe
Finally tried food from Kasama! My friend did a pickup
Finally tried food from Kasama! My friend did a pickup order from the store. I had heard great things about the Ube and Huckleberry Cake and the Truffle Croissant. The Truffle Croissant was great! Loved the subtle taste of truffle in the filling. I loved the addition of the honey sugar pearls as well. The croissant itself was very flaky and tasted fresh. The Ube and Huckleberry berry cake was ok in my opinion. I loved the tough exterior of the cake with the gooey filling, but the filling was just basic. It didn't taste either of Ube or huckleberry and I was a bit disappointed with that. The cake by itself was really delicious though. The powdered sugar design on the cake was too cute. The service was fast as we had placed a pickup order. The ambience is nice and classy! No wonder this place was shown on 'The Bear' show.
Congratulations to Kasama for being the first Filipino
Congratulations to Kasama for being the first Filipino restaurant and bakery to earn a Michelin star! I have yet to try their entrees but the pastries are divine. The menu will get your mouth watering. We had to come here twice just to sample the desserts on our wish list but let me tell you, most of what you will order will not disappoint. Word of mouth spreads like wildfire. It is true the lines are long and I'm not surprised by the insane wait times. If you are willing to do takeout, that would be your best bet as you can order their breakfast/brunch menu, drinks and desserts the morning of off their website. They typically open online orders right at 9am. I believe they use the Tock app for orders but it's super easy and after ordering you are given a designated time slot for pick up. Once it's your time for pickup you can avoid the lines (because those are mainly for dine-in eaters who want the full-on experience) and just walk in and hang right once you enter the 2nd door. Pickups are on that side towards the end. Just head in the direction with all the takeout bags and boxes. Give any one of the employees near that side behind the counter your order number and off you go to enjoy some of the most amazing treats/meals ever. Everyone is going to have their favorites but for desserts we loved: * Any of their savory Danishes * Chocolate Caramel Tart * Kouign Amann * And the Ube Huckleberry Basque Cake I can't wait to dive into their breakfasts too. Kasama you've done well. Thank you for putting Chicago on the map for having one of the best Filipino restaurants in the nation!
Felt like our tocino was a bit drier this time.
Everything else was great as expected! Chicken adobo delicious and flavorful. Ordered take-out which took about 1 hour and 30 minutes - be sure to order ahead! Tried the corn milk tea which was sooo delicious esp if you are a fan of corn! I got it hot and it was cozy. Not too sweet. The red bean sesame cold brew was not bad - husband enjoyed it - I wish there was a stronger red bean taste. The apple pastry was OK - I've had better. It wasn't bad but it wasn't as good as their other pastries! Could have more filling and more apples in it.
Waited an hour in the rain on a Friday morning but worth it.
Their Ube latte is really good -not too sweet and you can actually taste the flavor. Their black sesame latte was just the same and so dang good. Their chicken adobo and mushroom adobo are amazing and their portions were extremely filling. Their pastries were great to take home to enjoy. This place deserved their one star Michelin. Place is popping but if you just want the food only you can order ahead online or else you're going to have to wait a while to sit down.
I’ve had better
Quite disappointing for a Michelin star restaurant. Obviously the person who did the review and gave the star has no forethought or concept of Filipino food. As a true Filipino I’ve had better. First clue for me when I walked in no Filipino in the restaurant tells me it’s OK. 2nd riding the hype with over priced menu is a farce. I will admit the pastries are good, but all in all the food is very pedestrian, definitely wouldn’t go back or recommend it.
Check them out for breakfast!
A must visit if you’re in Chicago. I’ve only visited for breakfast, but after 5 visits I can say this is consistently a memorable experience and they are often innovating different pastries. Weekends offer some extra menu options but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Make sure to order some extra pastries to go and I’d recommend the Black Truffle Croissant. In my experience, arriving 30 min to an hour before they open has always gotten me a spot towards the front of the line and have been seated within 15 min of opening. It’s worth the wait.
The Food Shines Impressively Here.
Kasama is a Michelin-starred bakery and modern Filipino restaurant located in the East Ukraine neighborhood of Chicago. The eatery personalizes takes on Filipino cuisine and serves a range of food fare from kare kare (peanut based stew) to bagoong (shrimp paste). The design of the facilities embraces an impressive kitchen framed by a counter whose diners watch the crew's theatre unfold. Banquettes tucked under the windows make for comfy seats. Not really knowing most of the innards of the food catalog, I took a change on the Pork Belly Adobo.........and what a masterfully flavorful dish. My sweet tooth was deliciously satisfied with a Berry Creme Fraiche Cheese Cake and washed down with a Modelo. The food shines impressively here.
Very good but not worth the wait
We had previously been to Kasama for dinner which I didn't review but was outstanding so we had high expectations coming for breakfast. To start, we ignored all of the online advice and showed up around opening on a saturday morning. The line was already down the street. We waited about an hour and 45 minutes to get in. Overall, I would say it was very good but certainly not worth the wait - although I don't think anything would be worth that long of a wait. The standouts were the foie gras croissant and the combination sandwich which is kasama's ode to the Chicago beef. The combination of the shaved pork adobo and longanisa sausage with the hot giardiniera works perfectly together and is, in my opinion, better than almost any Chicago beef sandwich I've had. I ordered the combo sandwich to go just because I felt like I had to order a lot given how long I waited but if I didn't I would have been pretty disappointed with the rest of breakfast. As it relates to breakfast, the biggest disappointment was the breakfast sandwich. I was a bit underwhelmed. It was small and seemed a bit mass produced. I've honestly had many better breakfast sandwiches and in my opinion, you can't have a great one without a fried egg. My wife ordered the adobo mushroom breakfast with a fried egg and it was fine if a little uninspiring. We ordered several pastries to take home and they are really the stars of the show at Kasama. If I was to go back, I would probably go on a Wednesday morning in February during a snow storm or just ordered pastries and iced coffees to go.
FIRST TIME CHICAGO #2: TASTING MENU AT THE FIRST FILIPINO MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANT
When we think about Michelin Star restaurants what comes to mind are French restaurants because the Michelin Guide was originated in France. Throughout the years there have been many different types of cuisine to earn a Michelin Star. How does a certain cuisine get recognize with a Michelin Star without sacrificing the integrity of that cuisine? The last time I ate at a Michelin Star restaurant was well before COVID. I was going to Chicago in mid-September for three days. Last July I made the reservation for myself for the tasting menu on Thursday September 15. Also when I made the reservation I noted that the occasion was for my birthday, which was exactly a week before. When I arrived in Chicago on that Thursday prior to coming to Kasama I had a light lunch. My dinner at Kasama consisted of a 13-course meal. There's a saying about first impression and that was more evident when the first course was kinalaw, which is a Filipino version of ceviche. What made the kinalaw at Kasama stand out was it had caviar. OMG! When I ate that first course I knew Kasama wasn't playing around with the tasting menu. The second course was lumpia. It wasn't an ordinary lumpia but inside a spring roll that added a crunchy texture. The third course was nilaga. The broth of the nilaga at Kasama was one of the two best broths I've ever had a Filipino restaurant. That broth had an intense beef flavor yet I felt as if I was drinking tea. When I posed the question about "sacrificing the integrity of that cuisine" the next course was a "make or break" moment for the tasting menu. The soimai had foie gras, which is my fourth favorite food in the world. I was worried if the foie gras was more about pleasing the Michelin inspectors instead of elevating the integrity of Filipino cuisine, but the siomai at Kasama also had duck. Anytime I have foie gras I also order duck so having two ingredients in one dish made that course satisfying. I mentioned about the broth of the nilaga was one of the two best broths I've ever had at a Filipino restaurant - the other was the adobo at Kasama. For most Filipinos adobo is their favorite Filipino food, but not me as I have a love-hate relationship with that dish as the broth is too soupy or the dish is too oily. Most adobos have pork or chicken as the main ingredient. Yet the main ingredient for the adobo at Kasama was maitake mushroom, which accentuated the adobo broth. That adobo broth at Kasama should be the standard of any adobo. If adobo at Kasama was serve regularly at other Filipino eateries or family parties then adobo would be my favorite Filipino food. The next course is my not only my favorite Filipino food but also my favorite food in the whole world - sinigang. The sinigang at Kasama didn't look as most sinigangs I've had in the past yet the broth had that sour, tangy taste that I've come to love. I'm not a fan of pancit but the pancit at Kasama had squid ink similar to an Italian pasta. Kare-kare is in my top five favorite Filipino dish as the combination of the peanut sauce with oxtail and beef tripe adds a rich, hearty dish. What was intriguing at the kare-kare at Kasama was the use of lamb belly, which was another OMG moment. The peanut sauce look like chili oil but there was a distinct peanut flavor I've come to recognize with kare-kare. The last meat dish I had bistek. Traditional bistek is a well-done sirloin steak yet a rare A5 wagyu was meat of choice at Kasama for their bistek. This was the last OMG moment for my meal. I've never had A5 wagyu before and to have it for bistek at Kasama was a great first introduction. Yet I can still taste the calamansi and carmelized onions of the bistek I've come to known. Now came the desserts. I would never expect shaved truffles at a Filipino restaurant but I at Kasama I had truffle croissant. Banana desserts in Filipino cuisine can be too tarty for me but at Kasama the caramelization of the banana softened that tartness. I mentioned I made the reservation for my birthday. For the halo-halo it was presented with a candle. I also got two gifts I received for my birthday. First was a compliment ube huckleberry Basque cake, which is their most popular pastry at Kasama. Second was a signed autograph from both owners on the tasting menu. What is Kasama? From appearance the food doesn't look Filipino. Yet if you took a blind taste test you can recognize the Filipino flavors. I have eaten at thirteen Michelin Star restaurants. Maybe I'm biased because I'm Filipino but Kasama is my second favorite Michelin Star restaurant. Even though Kasama serves brunch I recommend eating at Kasama for dinner to experience Filipino flavors in their tasting menu. Kasama as the world's first Filipino restaurant to earn a Michelin star is an eatery that makes Filipinos proud of their cuisine.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
