Chinese restaurants in San Francisco

SnagRes tracks 4 hard-to-book Chinese restaurants in real time, including Mister Jiu's, Fu Hui Hua, Four Kings. Availability is checked continuously across Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms, and you can get a text the moment a table opens.

Platform split here: 2 on OpenTable, 1 on Resy, 1 on Tock. That matters because each platform releases tables differently, and watching only one of them leaves the rest of this list invisible.

2 of these had 10% or less of the booking window open at the last check: Fu Hui Hua, Z & Y.

Across the 4 Chinese restaurants SnagRes tracks in SF, an average of 20% of the bookable window is open at any given check. The tightest is Z & Y at 0%. Anything under about 10% means tables are effectively gone the moment they are released, so an alert matters more than refreshing.

When do Chinese restaurants release reservations?

Of the 3 with a confirmed drop time, 2 release at 10:00 AM, and the typical booking window is 30 days ahead. Release times are set per restaurant rather than per platform, so two places on the same platform can drop hours apart. The full table is on the release times page.

Which booking platform do Chinese restaurants use?
