How hard is it to get a table at Bong?

Prime time is the hardest slice here: just 4% of the 381,021 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.

86% 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: 60% of the window was bookable at that size against 33% 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 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: 60% of the window was bookable for two against 33% 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 email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

What is the best party size to book Bong?
A party of two is measurably easier at Bong: 60% of the window was bookable at that size against 33% 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 19 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 watches continuously, so cancellations arriving off-schedule are caught the same as scheduled drops.
How far ahead does Bong release tables?
Bong releases reservations 19 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 watches Resy for Bong continuously and emails you the moment 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 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 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.
