Bonyeon's Resy listing says reservations are required and walk-ins are not accepted. It offers two seatings per night, at 5:00 pm and 8 pm, with 12 people at each.
The restaurant publishes no release time. In our checks its calendar reached about 31 days ahead.
Easier than the small room suggests. On 19 October 2026, a seat for two was open on 68% of dates in the window and for four on 68%. We have never seen a seat on Mondays or Tuesdays, and the listing says no one answers the phone those days, so the open nights carry nearly all of it.
Treat these as early numbers. Chicago joined our tracker in late September 2026, so they cover weeks of checks rather than seasons, and they will shift as more come in.
The listing says you can cancel with no penalty up to 72 hours before your time. Inside that window, the deposit is kept. That makes the days just before the 72-hour mark the likeliest time for a seat to come back.
SnagRes checks Bonyeon's Resy calendar continuously and texts you when a seat opens on a night you picked. We never book, hold or resell anything. You book it yourself.
Bonyeon serves a 10-course, beef-focused Korean tasting menu in the West Loop, with two seatings a night for 12 guests each. It takes no walk-ins, so every seat goes through Resy or the phone.
