Be prepared to wait at least an hour if you want to dine. Otherwise, order your food to go, online. Food is high-quality and tastes good. It will appeal more to non-Filipinos because the flavors are refined/subdued, not your typical Pinoy home-cooked taste with over-the-top flavors.

I got the boneless chicken thigh adobo and garlic rice, lumpia, apple fritter and latte. I’m still thinking about the chicken and rice. 10/10 would recommend.

Delicious breakfast sandwiches. The longaniza was super savory and the ube and black sesame lattes were really yummy! The desserts were incredible and flaky. I wish I’d gotten the name of the girl that assisted me but she was really great. I ordered online (highly recommend) and we sat outside in the patio which was cute. I’ll be coming back for dinner service.

My wife did some research before choosing to come here for my birthday lunch and wow, did it not disappoint! This is the first and only Michelin star Filipino restaurant and we enjoyed everything from the beverages, to the main courses and a spectacular dessert! We came at 1:30 and the wait was not too bad. Ambiance of the restaurant is busy and lively but the people of Chicago are generally very polite and well mannered. Thankful to have come to Kasama for my birthday and am happy to give them 5 stars! Thank you!

We were visiting Chicago on vacation and decided to try Kasama after hearing all the hype — and it definitely lived up to it! We ordered the Longanisa, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich with a hashbrown added, and it was so good. We placed our order online ahead of time, walked right in, and our food was ready to go. Super convenient! There are a few benches outside where you can sit and enjoy your meal, which was a nice touch. Overall, delicious food and an easy experience — definitely worth the hype!

45 minute wait to get in the door right at 9am = totally worth it. Excellent service, incredible food. Can't wait to come back. All love.
This restraunt is worth a flight to visit, the drinks, the food, the flavor is absolutely wonderful.
The sandwich is a perfect execution of something simple taken to its highest level.
The yam drink was sweet and refreshing.
The mushroom adobo was rich and tasty.
The line, worth the wait.

Breakfast sandwich is overhyped and insanely priced for the low quality ingredients that it contains.

In my opinion Kasama is overrated. There were some good, some ok and some not so great.
We order the chicken adobo, filipino breakfast, breakfast sandwich, and 3 drinks with totaled to ~96.
The chicken adobo was the crowd pleaser. The chicken was juicy, the coconut crust added some sweetness and was balanced.
The filipino breakfast was fine. There wasn’t a WOW factor.
The breakfast sandwich was SALTY. I had to pass it off because it was too salty and all the components were too soft.
The ube coconut latte was good but i wished there was more ube and coconut flavor.
We got there at 9am on a Wednesday and waited 50 mins to be seated. I would say get takeout next time if you want to try. But the price and wait time makes this restaurant overhyped to me.

Order online if you can the food is absolutely delicous and worth the visit and will be retunurning. However even arriving and hour before opening it took 2 hours to even get in the door with about 30 people already there. Online ordering can stretch to 4 hours. Food and drinks were outstanding and service is great as well but the wait time was a little crazy.
Pastries is what you want to get here. They are phenomenal. The breakfast sandwich everyone is raging about is good, but it’s mostly hype. We did 2.5hr wait after ordering online and I’m sorry to say that it wasn’t worth it. Beli has this place ranked high up because of the longaniza breakfast sandwich that you’ve probably seen on a video. I would rate it between a 6.5 to 7. It isn’t a 10. How ever the pastries will shut you up and have you nodding yes. Go to Egg Tuck for a breakfast sandwich. 40 mins max

i had the cardamom bun, the lumpia, and the chicken adobo.
the cardamom bun was amazing, the lumpia was delicious (it was a pretty big serving too! i would advise against getting that if you're by yourself for that reason. unless you're like me and are a vacuum cleaner).
the chicken adobo left me .... confused. i had heard so much about this place, there's always a line out the door, and yet, i found myself with the most disappointing entree i've had in a while. all i tasted was wet coconut. i don't know if i came in on an off day or what, but it was not at all what i was expecting. it had little to no flavor aside from the coconut and no salt. i tried eating it with the rice and the pickled veg it came with (which felt a little ... old? the pickled veg felt almost mushy) and it didn't do a whole lot to help. this dish alone did not convince me to come back, but i've been told by friends that i should give kasama another chance. if i do return, i will not be getting the chicken adobo again.

The food here was tasty and definitely worth the wait in line. It’s first-come, first-serve, we went on a Friday for lunch, but be aware that lines can get long on weekends. We ordered their famous oat milk latte, chicken adobo, meatloaf (beef), and one of their well-known bakery cakes. Everything tasted great! The place has a cozy vibe, perfect for young couples, but really it’s welcoming for everyone.
