Kasama Chicago: Prices & Reservations

Kasama by day and by night

Most Yelp reviews are about breakfast, pastries or takeout. People remember the longanisa sandwich and the black truffle croissant, along with long lines and items selling out. Those reviews help with a daytime visit. They don't describe dinner.

Only a couple of reviews cover the tasting dinner. They praise familiar Filipino flavors reworked across the courses, and explanations that tie the food to where it comes from. Ask Kasama about the pace and atmosphere of dinner before booking.

Daytime and dinner are different visits

Kasama runs two separate services at one address. By day, Wednesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., it's a bakery with a savory menu and counter service. The kitchen and dining room close at 2 p.m., or earlier if the room fills, and pastries sell out. There are no daytime reservations. Dinner is a Filipino-inspired tasting menu, Thursday through Sunday, by reservation only. Hours and prices.

Pick one before you plan anything else. A daytime visit fits around other plans, but showing up near 3 p.m. gets you the bakery case, not the kitchen. A dinner reservation doesn't get you anything at lunch either.

If you have one day in Chicago and the tasting menu is the reason for the trip, book dinner first. If the bakery is the goal, come early and don't build the day around a fixed time. If you want particular pastries, the site has online ordering for each day's stock.

How much does dinner at Kasama cost for two?

Kasama's site lists the tasting menu at $325 per person, the beverage pairing at $195 and the non-alcoholic pairing at $95. It also says all prices can change. Prices and terms.

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

These totals exclude tax, tips, any service charge, supplements and transport. Kasama doesn't publish a service charge, so check the final amount when you book and ask if one is added.

You can also bring wine. Corkage is $50 for each bottle up to 750 ml, with a two-bottle maximum, and larger bottles cost more. For two people, two bottles add $100, so two menus with corkage come to $750 plus whatever you paid for the wine. Two full beverage pairings cost $390. Compare that with $100 in corkage plus the cost of your bottles, then confirm any additional charges.

When do Kasama reservations open?

Kasama's reservations page says dinner books through OpenTable and uses an OpenTable booking button. Other links on the site still point to a Tock page, so start from the reservations page itself. Tables for parties up to six open on a rolling six-week calendar at noon Central. The site doesn't say how to book for more than six, so email reservations@kasamachicago.com if your group is bigger.

Cancelling within 48 hours of your reservation costs $325 per guest. Dropping a guest with less than 48 hours' notice adds the same $325 per person to the final bill. For two diners, that's $650 at risk.

Confirm the final head count before you reserve, and put the 48-hour deadline in your calendar right away. Don't wait until the day of dinner to ask a travelling companion whether their plans changed.

The public dinner experience lists 1 to 6 guests and no walk-ins. Before booking, check whether there is a card hold or prepayment, whether any deposit counts toward dinner and whether you can transfer the reservation.

Check the restrictions before reserving

Kasama handles most allergies and restrictions, but not these:

Soy.
Egg.
Allium, meaning onion, garlic and their relatives.
Vegan diets.
Corn.
No refined sugar.
Keto.
Paleo.

Check this list with every guest before reserving. Note every guest's allergies in the reservation at least 48 hours ahead, which is the same cutoff as the cancellation charge. Email reservations@kasamachicago.com with anything unclear before you book. Full dietary policy.

Keep daytime and dinner questions separate when you write. A bakery item that suits your diet tells you nothing about whether the dinner menu can be adapted.

The site's overview and full experience policy differ over egg and seed-oil exclusions. Send the specific ingredients and obtain approval; the full policy's egg exclusion should not be assumed waived.

Build a realistic visit

Kasama is at 1001 N. Winchester Avenue in West Town. It doesn't publish a phone number. Use info@kasamachicago.com for general questions and reservations@kasamachicago.com for dinner. Ask Kasama how long dinner lasts, when seatings start, how to get there, what to wear and whether it has step-free access. Ask the reservation team about timing before pairing dinner with a fixed-time event.

If you're comparing tasting-menu formats, read Alinea's guide. For a West Loop option with a published time allowance, see Ever. Compare cuisine, dietary options and the full budget to choose between them.

OpenTable lists dinner Thursday through Sunday 5:30 to 9 p.m., casual dress, street parking and wheelchair access. The access flag does not describe the entrance or restroom route.

Compare before booking

Indienne publishes a $135 vegan tasting menu and asks for 48 hours' dietary notice. Kasama also needs 48 hours but excludes vegan, soy, allium and several other restrictions. If any apply, choose another dinner before committing to Kasama's $325-per-person late-cancellation exposure.

Ever gives a two to two-and-a-half-hour estimate and a $828 subtotal for two with service before tax and drinks. Kasama's $650 is for the menus only. Ask about meal duration and mandatory charges before comparing the full cost and timing. A daytime Kasama visit has no reservations and is a separate bakery and counter-service trip, not a substitute booking for its dinner.
