    BBQ chicken pizza
    Mike Z.

    Typical airport restaurant bar. The pizza was surprisingly delicious though and service at the bar was great despite it being quite busy.

    The line up!  Ready set order!

    Service was great at the bar, ambiance was ok for an airport. The pizza was good!! So if you need a recharge before your next flight. Find the bartender and ask for a bloody Maria and order a pizza!!! Ready for the next flight. Thank you

    Thai Chicken Wrap

    Just landed in Chicago we took advantage of our 2-hour layover to grab a light dinner. After looking around for a bit, we decided to try Wolfgang Puck Express. Chris ordered the Caesar Salad with Chicken and I ordered the Crunchy Thai Chicken Wrap. Service was quick and the staff were very helpful as they assisted us make our choices. We sat a little quiet corner where we enjoyed our food. Great ambience despite the fact that it is in the middle of the airport! The wrap was huge and it was delicious! It was filled with crunchy peanuts, fresh veggies and it had tons of chicken! Chris's salad was ginormous! It was fresh and had the perfect amount of yummy caesar dressing with lots of chicken pieces!

    Food is good. Service is poor. Ambiance is okay. I ordered ham & egg sandwich. Make sure to order first before paying. They will not, remind you.

    We had a layover in Chicago and had a bit of time before our flight. We dined here and had a good meal and tasty cocktails. The prices weren't outrageous for airport food. The fries were some of the best fries we have had and a steal at $4. Service was good and when we have a layover again, we may come back.

    Ordered the thai chicken wrap and it was good. Crunchy veggies and the dressing wasn't over done, just right. Tasty and not a horrible airport value at under $20 ....but where's the chicken? Think there was a little bit in there but not much. Overall satisfied with the lunch.

    Pizza is okay, nothing special. The staff is cold and rude. I know this is an airport restaurant but basic kindness would be nice.

    Mediterranean Omelette and English Tea
    Manu A.

    So now you all know how exciting it is to eat at the airport. This was my first trying Wolfgang at O hare airport. Must say that I have been overall impressed. Quick service and they prepare the food in front of you(not a luxury that some big names give you). Ordered the Mediterranean omelette and I was happy as the portion sizes were good and so were the prices. The tea was basic tea bag affair but I wish they had coffee or maybe I didn't search enough. If you want to eat something decent, definitely recommend this place.

    Classic breakfast
    Tiffany F.

    The workers had customer service but the food wasn't worth it. We ordered the Classic Breakfast w/chicken sausage, eggs, toast and potatoes. The potatoes were dry and really they looked like potato wedges that were cut into halves. We threw the potatoes away. I asked for an over easy egg but my yoke was cooked too long.

    Chicken sausage is not that PINK! This was Pork
    Heather H.

    I was really disappointed that the menu said chicken sausage for the breakfast plate and it was definitely PORK! I don't eat pork and I was not happy. They also DUMP a ton of salt into the eggs. I had to ask the lady to not put salt. I will never order from here again.

    Service was good and it was a clean environment. I went with the baby kale and quinoa salad bc of the calorie count after being on vacation. HUGE salad and it was pretty good. Needed something to really bring it home, but it wasn't bad and I felt like I made a good healthy decision.

    3.5Not bad for an airport pizza. The workers are very nice, kind, and friendly, which is always refreshing when traveling, and the ladies at the cash register were putting smiles on people's faces. The pizzaiolo was kind of sketch at first since he tried to re-warm an already done pizza vs. making a fresh/new one, but after a minute, he decided to make it from scratch. This pizza was about $15. The place seems clean.

    I expected better. It smelled so good when I came in the restaurant, so I was hyped. I got the Mushroom Pizza which was already premade and just put into the oven. Mushroom Pizza- Wayyy too oily. In addition to the oil from the cheese, they added more oil on the pizza which made it very heavy. The mushroom had an overpowering flavor, and sadly there was no tomato sauce. I think they put white sauce, but I'm not the biggest fan of that. I will say that the Brie cheese was good on the pizza. I already really liked the crust. It was crispy and doughy. Perfect. The arugula was good, but there wasn't a distinct flavor from it. Overall, I would probably just get a regular pizza here, but if you are ordering the Mushroom Pizza tell them not to put the additional oil on it.

I also respected seeing the owner personally making the rounds, stopping at every table to check on the guests and the food. Calm atmosphere, solid hospitality, and a kitchen that delivers.

    Designer Food, Pinoy Inspired…read more Earlier this month with my mom, my Pinoy heart was incredibly satisfied to find steamed rice in a TWO Star Michelin tasting menu! A chance to sample Kasama, was a very good reason to revisit Chicago. The last time I was here, I went to Alinea, a formerly THREE Star Michelin restaurant (demoted to TWO). Never have I ever thought back then that I will come back to have Michelin-starred Philippine flavors in this city. Kasama offers a 13-course tasting menu, the only TWO Star Michelin restaurant that serves Phil-inspired creative dishes in the world. It was the first Filipino restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star, &one of only 4 Chicago restaurants with TWO stars out of the over 7.5 K licensed restaurants. To put that in perspective, there are over 18k restaurants in NYC's 5 boros. Only 52 have ONE Star,15 have TWO and 5 with THREE Michelin Stars, none served Phil-inspired food. In recently Michelin mapped Manila, only one has TWO Star. It doesn't cook Phil-inspired food despite its location. kasama named each creative course after a Philippine dish. Plates were called "kinilaw", "pulutan","adobo," (menu in picture) that was lovingly nostalgic of the dish it referenced. It's the essence, the unique flavors of each dish that's evoked, reminding me of that hearty dish. I recognize sinigang, but it's not sinigang. As each dish is presented, its inspiration and origin is explained. For a Filipino diner, it's warmly familiar; For those whose cultural experience is different, it's an excellent intro to the unique Phil flavors presented artfully in a form meant for haute diners. I am super proud! We met Chef Tim and wife, Korean-American pastry Chef Gwen. The chef de cuisine is the cutesie Fil-Am Chef Scott Pamatmat (watch out, foodies and ladies! He will be next in line). Thank you, Angelo &Molly. P.S. Some Pinoys say, "My friend said it wasn't worth it. The line was too long." then gives out that all-knowing disgusted face& disdain w/out even having tried the ACTUAL tasting menu. The critical acclaim isn't for bfast that probably pays for the rent. The stars are for the tasting menu for dinner. #curious_eater #kasama

    Kasama was the only must visit spot on my most recent trip to Chicago…read more After checking in to my hotel on Sunday morning, I immediately made my way to this spot. You can get to Kasama using CTA, however, we opted to call a Lyft to get us there quicker. When we arrived there was a decent line. We asked a few people who were dinning outside if it was worth the wait. Everyone we asked said the food was good and worth the wait. One suggestion I have , and I wish I knew is that you can order online. I would suggest logging on and placing your order first thing in the morning. It appears that online orders still require some time, but at least you don't have to wait in the line when you arrive. We joined the line and it took us about an hour to get to the counter to order. Despite how busy this place is, the staff maintained pleasant attitudes, which I appreciate! Items ordered: longanisa, egg, and cheese sandwich hashbrown, egg, and cheese on ho yam coffee drink (Ube) reggie flores( think Arnold Palmer) Black Sesame Coconut Macaroon Ube and Huckleberry Basque Cake Total with tip: $72! After placing an order we were given a number and instructed to sit at a specific table. Our drinks arrived first, then the pasties and the last item to arrive were the egg sandwiches. The ube coffee drink was good. There was not a strong Ube taste. I did not try the Reggie Flores, but my friend said it was ok. Now for the pastries, I really enjoy the basque cake. It was not that sweet and had an interesting consistency, it was different for me, but something I would order again. I also did enjoy the macaron. I would say it is very coconut forward. As for the main event- the egg sandwich- it was good, but not great. I have had better egg sandwich! My friend did say that the meat makes the sandwich much better! I am not a red meat eater so I had to stick with the egg cheese and hash brown version, Overall, I would say that I would place an order in advance and try other items like the chicken adobe. However, If anyone asked me if it is worth the hour wait I would have to say no.

We ordered the sourdough, crab avocado salad, dry aged ribeye, fried chicken, and mac and cheese. Sourdough: 10/10- ate the entire loaf before we even got the appetizers. Salad: 10/10- amazing flavor and unique. We usually never order salad but this sounded so unique and didn't disappoint - creamy, acidic, perfect appetizer. Fried Chicken: 8/10- above average fried chicken on mashed potatoes. Well spiced but nothing to write home about. Ribeye: 10/10- great steak and honestly not bad pricing. Great crust and flavor, would definitely recommend to split for 2 since it's big. Mac and Cheese: 4/10- pasta was not hot and was undercooked. I usually like al dente but this pasta was hard. It was barely cheesy and was like a alfredo sauce more than cheesy, and the crust on top was lukewarm and stagnant like it had been sitting there. Overall great experience but avoid the mac and cheese.

Fries were solid but not as amazing as the burger. Wished they were a little thinner. Pretty small seating inside, only a couple booths, tables, and bar seating.
