First decide whether you want the daytime bakery and counter service or the evening Filipino tasting menu. They share an address, but require different plans.

Dinner and pairing costs for two

The published dinner menu is $325 per guest. Beverage pairings are $195 per guest, or $95 for the non-alcoholic pairing. Kasama's listed prices.

  • Two tasting menus: $650.
  • Two menus plus two non-alcoholic pairings: $840.
  • Two menus plus two beverage pairings: $1,040.
  • Two menus with one of each pairing: $940.

These are our calculations before taxes, any service charges, tips and extras. The pages checked do not establish an all-inclusive checkout total. Compare the final booking amount rather than treating a pairing subtotal as the full evening budget.

Choosing a non-alcoholic pairing for both diners reduces the listed subtotal by $200 compared with two beverage pairings. That is a useful difference to settle together before booking, especially if you are choosing between several restaurants.

The reservation window and cancellation deadline

Kasama directs dinner bookings to OpenTable and publishes a rolling six-week release at noon CST for parties up to six. The reservation page uses “CST”; check the live calendar's local-time display when setting a reminder. Daytime reservations are not offered. Booking information.

Cancellations within 48 hours incur $325 per guest, and late reductions in party size carry the same per-person charge. For two diners, that is $650 at risk. Cancellation policy.

Our advice is to confirm the final guest count before reserving and put the change deadline in your calendar immediately. Do not wait until the day of dinner to ask a travelling companion whether their plans have changed.

Check the restrictions before reserving

The restaurant lists restrictions it cannot accommodate, including vegan diets and soy, egg, allium and corn restrictions. All guests' allergies must be supplied at least 48 hours ahead. Consult the complete list and email [email protected] before committing if anything is uncertain. Full dietary policy.

Keep the daytime and evening questions separate when contacting Kasama. Ask about the service you intend to book and the exact ingredients that matter. The existence of a suitable bakery item would not establish that the full tasting menu can be adapted.

Build a realistic visit

The address is 1001 N. Winchester Avenue. We did not verify a published dinner duration, so ask the reservation team before pairing dinner with a timed event. Allow room for the meal instead of assigning it an invented end time.

If your priority is a comparison of tasting-menu formats, read Alinea's guide. For a West Loop option with a published time allowance, see Ever. Use cuisine, dietary fit and the complete budget to narrow the choice; rank alone cannot tell you which evening suits your party.

Sources and editorial approach

This is a researched planning guide based on the restaurant's published information and official booking pages. Planning recommendations and cost calculations are ours; this page does not report a firsthand meal or assign a critic's score. Prices and policies can change. Confirm the terms for your date before paying.
