   Been on my Chicago list forever and what better to hit it than on my first time here?! Snagged a single seating last minute and walked in to a dream. An ambient atmosphere greets you at first step in, and envelopes you as you walk into the bar. A sense of importance for each customer is felt as you take your seat and are immediately served water, a menu, and a hot towel. The cocktails and food are so methodically created, each with meaning and purpose. Delicate and intricate, while also bold and defiant, the food/drink menus will entertain your tastebuds with ever bite and every sip. I highly suggest bar seating! Ask about the cocktails and food, immerse yourself into the space provided and you will leave as if you were dreaming.

   Kumiko is one of those hospitality houses that meaningfully crafts and curates the drink & dining experience at every detail, as to be an art and cultural experience. There were multiple moments of "wow" and wonder in the course of the service.

    I almost never write reviews of restaurants, but Kumiko was so unbelievably good, they deserve maximum hype. This is one of Chicago’s best restaurants, and an absolute gem! The ambience is chic, understated, and soothing. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The drinks are mixological miracles, masterfully matched to the menu. And the food…the food is sublime. It is the most creatively conceived, delicately plated, and downright delicious fare anywhere in the city. On par with Alinea, Spiaggia, Esme - for real. Run don’t walk to this very special K!

    Finally got the reservation after waiting for so long. As you enter the restaurant, the elegant and minimalist decoration makes you feel at ease. Drink menu is extensive but server was more than helpful in catering to our preferences. Extremely well balanced drinks with Japanese sake, whiskey, gin. From refreshing to spirit forward. Dinner menu with small plates (4-6 plates for a couple). Scallop salad was one of the best seafood plates Ive had in a while. The wagyu roll was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. A must is the dessert, totally unexpected combination of flavors. Only one dessert on the menu because they dont need anything else other than that plate. Will be back soon!

    Great drinks! Had summer old fashioned with shochu and my wife had a gin spritzer (both on seasonal cocktails menu). Wife got another one and I had a manhattan as a deliciois follow up. Food is pretty fried so oil sensitivity persons be careful. Fried chicken was tasty/filling but oily. Beef wrap was overly oily. Miso soup with crab is quite good but if you drink it there is lots of oil. Pork sandwich was filling and scrumptious. Hen mushrooms/egg/rice was incredible- would come back for this dish.

    The cocktails were wonderful and the food was excellent. The variety of cocktails was really interesting and you'll find drinks you'll never get anywhere else. The service is outstanding, the waitstaff were amazing and are able to get you just what you need when you need it without causing lots of interruptions. The food was elegant and unexpectedly great.

    Difficult to describe - very special and like nothing else in Chicago (not like Nobu, not like Momotaro). Read Julia Momose's book to understand the philosophy behind it. Great cocktail's, of course. But the seven dishes we ordered were extraordinary as well - especially the scallop salad, the mushroom dish (Maitakedon) and the nikumaki.

    Simple, elegant space with impeccable yet down-to-earth service made this date night experience a win. I enjoyed a sake pairing and explorative flight, and my husband the sazerac flight (cocktail, component, component) and simple yet balanced Campari Soda. Food highlights included a pristine maki bite featuring Washugyu tenderloin tartare and quail yolk jam, cod wings showered with yuzu zest, and a perfect bracelet of oysters with melon mignonette.

    Amazing cocktail selections with generous pours. Recommend Cloud Hopper - creamy and refreshing at the same time and it's not too sweet. Food is alright, not the highlight at this place, and tbh a bit overpriced for the quality. Suggest having some snacks/light dinner beforehand. However, the milk toast is phenomenal!
