Walk-ins
Walk-ins are seated first come, first served, and about two-thirds of the room is kept for them. (blog.resy.com)
Good to know
  • Kisa does not take parties larger than four, and every guest must order one platter. (resy.com)
  • Cancelling after 2pm on the day of the booking costs $15 per person. (resy.com)
  • The restaurant does not answer phone calls, and changes go through a reply to the Resy confirmation text. (resy.com)
  • Kisa once operated as walk-in only, so older reviews saying it takes no reservations are out of date. (theinfatuation.com)

No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Kisa 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.

Why we track 284 restaurants and not 62,198

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 Lower East Side Korean room is as open on a Friday as on a Tuesday, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
