I'm going to preface this with the fact that the food, drinks, ambiance and service were excellent. If you're coming in for that with a big pocketbook, you're set. What I didn't like necessarily was the 20% service fee. I underst

I have come here several times for a second dinner and drinks. The ambiance is great. They have very good picked veggies, yummy oysters and I really enjoy the tonkatsu curry rice. The potato salad is also quite unique and flavorful. I absolutely ador
10 out of 10! The food was absolutely delectable.
We were served by Hannah, who was pleasant the entire evening and helped explain the best pairings for each dish. This is a small restaurant, and while reservations may be difficult to get, you can be sure that not a single dish will disappoint.

Such a special cocktail bar -- intimate, elegant, and creative without ever feeling over the top. Every drink here is crafted with so much thought and balance, it's hard to pick just one favorite. Standouts for me: Clarified Milk Punch - smooth

Loved all the cocktails and everything we ordered from the food menu was delicious! The truffle milk toast is a must-try, the best dessert that I've had in a while.
I was able to get in but was very confused.
I thought it was a pop-up concept. They have Simpson's character working there? I'm not talking about Apu.
Staff was pretty rude.
Had a reservation at 1015. Made us wait until 1045 to be told we couldn't be seated. Had started writing notes in here for a review, but didn't drink anything and can't delete it...

They open at 6:00pm, my wife and I arrived at 5:55pm just to be told that there was no possibility of us getting in. The host made us feel like because we didn't have a reservation we were an inconvenience and it seemed like they have been open
As a martini fan, I ordered a sea grape martini.
The flavor of the cucumber olive brine overpowered that of soku gin. No comments on other cocktails.

While it took a minute to be noticed, I quickly forgot after my first drink( it was a special so I won't name it but it had a little crushed ice in it and one of the most well balanced drink I have ever tasted). I like a sweeter profile but it w

This is my second visit here and one of my favorite cocktail bars in Chicago!! FOOD: One thing to note is this is probably not the place to come famished and order lots of food for dinner. The food is all absolutely amazing but definitely in smaller
Connect with users posting reservations for Kumiko Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Kumiko Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kumiko Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kumiko Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Kumiko Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kumiko Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
