For two, no. For four, yes. Across 597,036 availability checks, Bong has shown a bookable table for two on 60% of the dates in its window and a table for four on 50%, a room of small tables that has little to give a group. Friday is the most open night for a pair at 71% of checks, the reverse of most rooms, and Monday has never shown a table. Over the whole record, 65% of dates opened at some point.
Open rate, party of two: 60%. Party of four: 50%.
Easiest night, party of two: Friday, 71% of checks. Monday: 0%.
Bong books on Resy, and a new date appears at midnight, 19 days ahead, an unusual window. The calendar rolls forward one night at a time. With more than half of it open for a pair at any moment, the release matters less here than at a hard room; the 49 release events we have recorded are mostly cancellations.
Release time: midnight, one new date each night, 19 days out.
Late. The slot we have seen open most often is 10:30 PM, and 73% of recorded openings fell at 9 PM or later, with 10% before 6 PM and 9% in the 7:00 to 8:30 PM window. Openings run from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM. A late Vietnamese dinner in Crown Heights is what the calendar gives, and it gives it freely.
Before 6 PM: 10%. Prime time: 9%. 9 PM or later: 73%.
Come as two and take a late seat, and Bong is yours this week on nearly any night, Friday included. For a 7:30 on a weekend, or for a table of four, watch the date and take the cancellation; those are the scarce things here.
Book on Resy. New dates appear at midnight, 19 days out.
Come as two. 60% against 50% for four.
Ask for 10:30 PM. 73% of openings are 9 PM or later.
For prime time or a group, watch the date.
No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Bong on Resy around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own Resy account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf, which is the line New York's 2024 reservation law draws and the line we stay on the right side of.
Because you cannot say any of the above about a directory. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between the rooms with a full record. Nothing watching tens of thousands of restaurants can tell you that one Crown Heights room is 60% open for two and 50% for four and opens most on a Friday, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
