How to Get a Reservation at Kasama in Chicago
Kasama, the Michelin-starred Filipino restaurant in Ukrainian Village, runs a daytime bakery and cafe with no dinner reservations, plus a prepaid tasting-menu dinner that books on Tock and sells out fast.
The short answer
Kasama, the Michelin-starred Filipino spot in Ukrainian Village from Genie Kwon and Tim Flores, runs two very different operations. By day it is a bakery and cafe that does not take reservations, where you simply queue for pastries and counter dishes. At night it serves an ambitious prepaid tasting menu, and that is the hard booking.
The dinner tasting menu books on Tock as a prepaid or ticketed experience. Releases are limited and clear quickly, so the realistic paths are being ready at the drop and watching Tock for returned seats and cancellations as a date approaches.
Daytime cafe versus the dinner tasting menu
If you want the famous pastries, just go: the daytime cafe is walk-in only, with a line that moves. If you want the tasting-menu dinner, you need a prepaid Tock booking, and that is the experience that books out far in advance.
- Daytime cafe and bakery: walk-in, no reservations, expect a queue at peak times.
- Dinner tasting menu: prepaid booking on Tock, limited seats, sells out fast.
- Returned seats and cancellations: the realistic late path to a dinner table.
The best strategy for Kasama dinner
For the tasting menu, trying once at the release rarely lands a prime weekend. A continuous watch on your exact date and party size, ready to confirm instantly, is what reliably catches a returned seat. Confirm current pricing, deposit terms, and release timing on Kasama's live Tock listing.
