Bong looks open on paper and is hard at dinner time. 63% of the next 30 days had a table for two at the last check, but only 20% had one between 5:30 and 9:30 PM: most of what stays open is late, after 9 PM. If a late table works, you can likely book it now; for a normal dinner hour, we recheck Resy throughout the day and alert you the moment one frees up.

How hard is it to get a table at Bong?

Prime time is the hardest slice here: just 9% of the 3,364,604 open slots we have seen fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Widening to an earlier or later seating is the single biggest thing you can do.

74% of what opens up here is 9:00 PM or later, so a late dinner will get you in faster than waiting for a different date.

The times we see open run from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 10:30 PM.

We have never once seen a Monday come open, which usually means Bong is closed then rather than simply full.

A party of two is measurably easier here: 63% of the window was bookable at that size against 30% at the other.

Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time.

What should you know before booking Bong?

What is the best way to book Bong?

  1. Check what is open at Bong right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from Resy. 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. Widen your time to include 10:30 PM. 10:30 PM is the slot that opens most often at Bong. The full range we see open runs 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM.
  3. Try a party of two. Party size changes the answer here more than people expect: 63% of the window was bookable for two against 30% at the other size.
  4. Set an alert instead of refreshing. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Bong on SnagRes and you get an alert the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

Frequently asked questions about booking Bong

How hard is it to get a reservation at Bong?
At the last check, 63% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Bong, but only 20% had one between 5:30 and 9:30 PM; the rest were late-night tables. SnagRes rechecks Resy throughout the day and alerts you when a dinner table opens.
What time can you actually get a table at Bong?
The open times recorded at Bong run from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM, and 10:30 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 best party size to book Bong?
A party of two is measurably easier at Bong: 63% of the window was bookable at that size against 30% at the other. Tables for two are usually the most contested inventory, so trying an adjacent size often beats trying an adjacent night.
Is Bong open on Monday?
We have never recorded an open table at Bong on a Monday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
What time do Bong reservations open?
Bong releases reservations 21 days ahead, at 12:00 AM. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes also rechecks throughout the day for cancellations and off-schedule drops.
How far ahead does Bong release tables?
Bong releases reservations 21 days ahead, at 12:00 AM. A new date appears at the far edge of that window each cycle, and cancellations can surface at any point in between.
Which booking platform does Bong use?
Bong takes reservations on Resy. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes rechecks Resy for Bong throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
Can you walk in at Bong?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Bong. 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 Bong and we will alert 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 Resy, 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 Bong for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Bong and links you straight to Resy 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.

More questions about Bong

How far in advance can you book Bong?

Bong releases reservations 21 days ahead at midnight, and its calendar runs about 30 days deep in our checks. At the last check a table for two was bookable on 63% of the dates in that window, but only 20% had one between 5:30 and 9:30 PM, so the release is the best shot at a dinner hour, and more come back as cancellations.

Why is Bong so hard to get into?

Because the dinner-hour tables are gone at the drop. Across 628,155 checks, Bong has shown a bookable table for two on 63% of dates, but only 20% between 5:30 and 9:30 PM; the rest were late-night tables. We have recorded 51 release events there. 9% of the openings we have seen were between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. The seats you can actually get are the ones that come back when someone cancels, which is why an alert on the date beats refreshing.
