Kumiko Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Sakelicious
It never disappoints, we went to this bar with a guest that we had from another country, and as always service and hospitality were beyond awesome, the way to experience the martini my guest had was amazing, I had a sake flight which introduces you to the sake world, with three diferent tiles of junmai-ginjo style sakes, my favorite one was the Kaetzu Kambara, no wonder why this bar is on the list of 50 best bars and the best bar on the Midwestβ¦
Kumiko is currently considered to be one of the best bars
Kumiko is currently considered to be one of the best bars in the world. They are an elegant, timeless Japanese dining bar, offering innovative mixology and a seafood-forward tasting menu. Small plates may also be ordered a la carte. Owner Julia MomosΓ© blends Japanese ingredients and techniques to create drinks that are truly one of a kind. My husband and I enjoyed their Seasonal Tasting Menu, priced at $135/person, and ordered cocktails a la carte. The menu consisted of 7 courses, perfectly paced over about 90 minutes. Stand out dishes were the Hokkaido Scallop Crudo and Blue Prawn amuse bouche, Sunchoke Chawanmushi, and Sobacha Custard, which featured pear frozen yogurt and black sesame feuilletine. The food was outstanding, but where Kumiko really shines is their cocktail program. The "Tryptych", a silky, martini-esque drink left me speechless. It incorporates Kokuryu 'Kuzuryu Junmai, 'Tenshi no Yuwaku' Imo Shochu, Nanbu Bijin 'Muto' Umeshu, Armagnac, and purple sweet potato vinegar. The "Cloud Hopper" (Hakutake 'Shiro' Rice Shochu, Fidencio 'Clasico' Mezcal, passionfruit, green cardamom, oat milk, Yakult, lemon) was a sweet, fruity finish. My husband is currently not drinking alcohol, and was still able to enjoy the experience with expertly crafted non-alcoholic cocktails, and high quality tea. Service was polished and professional. This was a perfect date night for us, and we look forward to returning the next time we are in Chicago.
This is one of the best affordable sushi places in La hands
This is one of the best affordable sushi places in La hands down! The service is always on point they're nothing but respectful and the actual restaurant feels as an authentic sushi joint.
Came here for birthday drinks with my group of girlfriends.
It was a super unique and calm atmosphere, where we could enjoy unique beverages that suited the wide spectrum of taste we all had. The service was excellent and the ambience was soothing and we could have a decent conversation And hear each other perfectly. There is also an extensive spirit free cocktail list, which I personally greatly appreciated. Definitely worth a stop for unique experience!

I went to Kumiko with friends for my birthday, and the experience was absolutely impeccable! It's not an exaggeration to say that Julia Momose is a genius, and Kumiko clearly deserves its spot on the list of World's 100 Best Cocktail Bars. While the cocktails are experience, they're truly all so thoughtful, creative, unique...and, of course, delicious. Not only are the cocktails great, but the entire experience at Kumiko is truly elevated. Momose has clearly thought of every last detail in her vision (and execution) for this place. She greeted us personally at the host stand and offered to take our coats. What a nice touch! The service was also excellent; pacing of service was relaxed, but our server was also incredibly attentive. I loved Kumiko, and I can't wait to return. What a special place!
Great speakeasy and cocktail bar.
Cocktails are great and small bites are delicious, however, the small bites are pretty small. Ambiance and service is 10/10, it's a very Japanese vibe and you really feel like you are living a Japanese experience.
My favorite cocktail bar in Chicago They are so deserving
My favorite cocktail bar in Chicago They are so deserving of their spot as the best bar in Midwest. Truly a special experience elevated by the gentle, quiet energy that's often hard to find in West Loop. Kinda tough to snag a last minute reservation but bar seatings are first come first serve! Prepare to be charmed by Kumiko's extensive cocktail menu filled with delicate names. Loved the milk punch Clear to the eye but milky to your taste buds. It tastes bright and has this subtle sweet & creamy flavor that masks the alcohol taste. From the signature, try the sea flower - zesty, salty and fun. Ask for recs too bc the servers light up to share their favs! Food menu is limited but has the essentials. Treat it as a complement to your drinks, especially the pickles and nuts!! Do not leave without getting the truffle milk toast Perfectly toasted Japanese milk bread topped with fermented honey ice cream and truffle shavings. It's sweet and tastes so expensive. The perfect way to end your night. Sakura Milk Punch $20* Sea Flower $19* OtsukΓ©mono $4 Shiso Nori Cashews $7 KaraagΓ© $13 Japanese potato salad $6 Truffle milk toast $15* μμΉ΄κ³ μμ μ μΌ μ’μνλ μΉ΅ν μΌλ°. νΈνλ©΄μ κ³ κΈμ§λ€. λ―Έλ μ¨μ€νΈ λλ²μ λ° λ΅κ² ν μ΄λΈμ 미리미리 μμ½ν΄μΌ νμ§λ§ λ° μ리λ μν¬μΈ κ°λ₯! μΉ΅ν μΌ λ¦¬μ€νΈκ° μμ²λλ° λ€μ΄λ°λ λλ λλ§μ μ·¨ν₯μ λ§νλ©΄ μλ²λΆλ€μ΄ μ΄μ μ μΌλ‘ μΆμ²ν΄μ£Όμ λ€. μμ£Όλ μ λ§μ λκ΅³λ μ©μΌλ‘ μΈ μΌλͺ¨λ Έλ 견과λ₯ μΆμ²! λΌμ΄νΈνκ² λ¨Ήκ³ λ§λ¬΄λ¦¬λ νΈλ¬ν ν μ€νΈκ° νμλ€
I consider Kumiko to be one of the best craft cocktail bars
I consider Kumiko to be one of the best craft cocktail bars in Chicago. The service, menu items, and atmosphere are all perfect. They will consider walk in's, but I highly suggest making a reservation. Kumiko is not very large. This bar may also not be ideal for large groups of people. More ideal for date night or 4 friends. My husband and I sat at a table during our first visit to Kumiko and at bar seats the other two times. I highly prefer sitting at the bar. It was neat to be able to directly interact with the bartenders. They often would show us the bottles and give us tons of background spirits, cocktails, etc. The owner was bartending during one of our visits sitting at the bar, which I thought was cool. I've had several different cocktails here and they all were excellent. The potato salad, karaage, A5 sando, and milk toast are all really delicious. The food is really good, but there are also dozens of other excellent restaurants nearby. Especially if you want a heavier meal.
Wow! My boyfriend had been here previously and really
Wow! My boyfriend had been here previously and really talked this place up so we made reservations while we were in town, and it did not disappoint. The service was spectacular- some of the best I've had. They were always there and attentive, but never in your face. The food came out fast but just at the right pace, and also, it was delicious. We loved everything we had. The restaurant is small, but cozy. Highly recommend this gem! And get a cocktail, they were all amazing. (Or mocktail, also fantastic!)
We came for the drinks and then I proceeded to have second
We came for the drinks and then I proceeded to have second supper like the hobbit I guess I am. The setting is quite intimate and allows for great conversation while you struggle to choose amongst a myriad of interesting cocktail options. Our server was a fantastic guide through the fog of our indecision and helped in picking out some delicious noshes as well. This did include an earthy sweet kabocha dish that launched me into a Ratatouille-level reverie - can't say I expected it, but I'll take the pleasant surprise.
This place does live up to the hype.
We came for what we thought would be just 1-2 drinks but then didn't want to stop trying the food it was so good and unique! The ambiance is very cool with the bar giving a glimpse to the kitchen and all the Japanese sake. The flights are a very cool idea. When our budget allows we will definitely be back for the full dining experience and try more pours.
Kumiko is a rare gem.
The ambiance is dark and moody, but also romantic and elegant. It's obvious that the staff are well trained because the service is impeccable. Kumiko is the brainchild of an acclaimed bartender, so be creative with your drink choice. I got the Moonrise Daiquiri flight, which was a unique way to experience a cocktail. Even though it's a cocktail bar the food is excellent. We especially loved the croquettes and the karage (fried chicken). Definitely a great place for dates, or impressing out of towners, and certainly a spot to get dolled up for.
Found on worldβs best bars. Loved the Japanese influence on both food and cocktails
Found on worldβs best bars list. Japanese inspired cocktails and food with larger Japanese spirit list. We loved the fried chicken and cocktails.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been βmatchedβ 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.
Payouts
Anyone know how increase payout transfer to bank as I can only send $50 a day and they charge $5 for every transaction. There must be a way. Iβve contacted support two days ago and not a reply.
