When do Fuku Omakase reservations open?

How far in advance do Fuku Omakase reservations open?

Fuku Omakase takes reservations on Resy. DinnerElite's availability data shows tables are typically claimed about 13 days ahead, so you generally need to book right when the booking window opens. Turning on a free DinnerElite alert lets you catch tables the instant they are released or cancelled, instead of refreshing Resy manually.

Is Fuku Omakase hard to get into?

Yes. Fuku Omakase is very hard to get into. Per DinnerElite tracking data, tables at this Greenwich Village Japanese restaurant are claimed an average of 13 days before the reservation date. In practice that means same-week availability on Resy is scarce: by the time most people search for a specific date, the prime slots (7 to 9 pm for parties of two to four) are already gone, and what's left is usually a 5 pm or a 10 pm. Your realistic paths in are booking the instant the reservation window opens, catching a cancellation, or flexing on party size and time. None of that takes luck so much as timing, which is exactly what an automated availability alert is for.

How to get a reservation at Fuku Omakase

1. Set up your Resy account before the drop. Fuku Omakase books through Resy, so create your account, save a payment method, and set your usual party size in advance. Hard-to-book tables like this one sell out while people are still typing card numbers. Checkout needs to be one tap.
2. Know exactly when Fuku Omakase's window opens. DinnerElite data shows Fuku Omakase tables are claimed about 13 days ahead, so set a calendar reminder roughly 13 days before your target date and check Resy that morning. Most Resy restaurants release new tables at a fixed time each morning, commonly 9:00 or 10:00 am ET, on a rolling window (often 14, 21 or 30 days ahead).
3. Book at the drop moment, not after. Log in a few minutes early with your date, time and party size preloaded, and take the first acceptable slot at Fuku Omakase. You can always trade up later. Turn on Resy Notify as a backstop in case you miss it.
4. Hunt cancellations daily. Plans change, and cancelled Fuku Omakase tables reappear on Resy throughout the day. The sweet spots are 9–11 am (overnight cancellations) and 5–7 pm day-of (same-day bailouts). Set a free availability alert so those openings come to you instead of you refreshing.
5. Flex your party size. DinnerElite's data for Fuku Omakase shows parties of 4 book up furthest ahead (~15 days), while parties of 2 average ~11 days, so if your group can shrink or split, search the smaller size first.
6. Fall back to walk-in or bar seating. If the books are full, call Fuku Omakase or check whether it holds bar or counter seats for walk-ins: many Greenwich Village restaurants do. Arriving right at opening or after 9 pm gives you the best shot at a same-night seat.
