How hard is it to get a table at Akiko's?

38% of the open slots recorded at Akiko's fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM, out of 5,707,997 observed, so prime time genuinely does surface here.

The times we see open run from 11:30 AM to 8:30 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 8:00 PM.

We have never once seen a Sunday come open, which usually means Akiko's is closed then rather than simply full.

Saturdays are the softest night on this calendar, open 100% of the times we checked, against 89% on Mondays. Moving your plan by one weekday is often worth more than moving it by a month.

On OpenTable each restaurant sets its own booking window, and what moves inside it is the near term, as people cancel and rebook.

What should you know before booking Akiko's?

What is the best way to book Akiko's?

  1. Check what is open at Akiko's right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from OpenTable. It shows every date in the 30-day window with its current status, so you can see at a glance whether anything is bookable before you spend time on the platform.
  2. Aim at a Saturday. Saturdays are the softest night on Akiko's's calendar in our data, open 100% of the times we checked, against 89% on Mondays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.
  3. Widen your time to include 8:00 PM. 8:00 PM is the slot that opens most often at Akiko's. The full range we see open runs 11:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
  4. Set an alert instead of refreshing. On OpenTable each restaurant sets its own booking window, and what moves inside it is the near term, as people cancel and rebook. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Akiko's on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to OpenTable.

Frequently asked questions about booking Akiko's

How hard is it to get a reservation at Akiko's?
At the last check, 87% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Akiko's. About 38% of open slots land between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. SnagRes rechecks OpenTable throughout the day and alerts you when that changes.
What time can you actually get a table at Akiko's?
The open times recorded at Akiko's run from 11:30 AM to 8:30 PM, and 8:00 PM is the slot that comes open most often. These are the times left available, not the restaurant's full service hours.
What is the easiest night to book Akiko's?
Saturday is the softest night on Akiko's's calendar in our data, open 100% of the times we checked, against 89% on Monday.
What is the best party size to book Akiko's?
Two and four sit close together at Akiko's in our data, 87% of the window open for two against 87% for four, a gap too small to plan around, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
Is Akiko's open on Sunday?
We have never recorded an open table at Akiko's on a Sunday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
What time do Akiko's reservations open?
On OpenTable each restaurant sets its own booking window, and what moves inside it is the near term, as people cancel and rebook. We have not yet measured a fixed drop time for Akiko's, so we do not claim one. SnagRes rechecks it throughout the day for cancellations and off-schedule drops.
How far ahead does Akiko's release tables?
The furthest-out date we have seen bookable at Akiko's was 30 days ahead, so its window runs roughly that far. New dates land at the far edge and cancellations surface in between, which is why watching beats checking once.
Which booking platform does Akiko's use?
Akiko's takes reservations on OpenTable. On OpenTable each restaurant sets its own booking window, and what moves inside it is the near term, as people cancel and rebook. SnagRes rechecks OpenTable for Akiko's throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
Can you walk in at Akiko's?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Akiko's. Many rooms do hold a few seats for walk-ins, often early or at the bar, so it is worth calling ahead. If you would rather lock in a table, star Akiko's and we will email you the moment a reservation opens.
Is using a reservation alert legal?
Yes. SnagRes only notifies you when a table opens; the booking itself is an ordinary reservation you make yourself on OpenTable, under your own name. It does not resell tables, run bots to hold them, or automate the booking, so it does not cross the lines a resale or auto-booking service does.
Does SnagRes book Akiko's for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Akiko's and links you straight to OpenTable with the date prefilled, then you complete the reservation yourself. It never logs into your account and never books on your behalf, which is what keeps your account in good standing.
