How hard is it to get a table at Fu Hui Hua?

23% of the open slots recorded at Fu Hui Hua fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM, out of 2,354 observed, so prime time genuinely does surface here.

The times we see open run from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 5:00 PM.

We have never once seen a Monday or a Tuesday or a Thursday come open, which usually means Fu Hui Hua is closed then rather than simply full.

Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking.

What is the best way to book Fu Hui Hua?

  1. Check what is open at Fu Hui Hua right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from Tock. 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 5:00 PM. 5:00 PM is the slot that opens most often at Fu Hui Hua. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
  3. Set an alert instead of refreshing. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Fu Hui Hua on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Tock.

Frequently asked questions about booking Fu Hui Hua

How hard is it to get a reservation at Fu Hui Hua?
At the last check, 10% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Fu Hui Hua, which puts it among the harder rooms we track. About 23% of open slots land between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. SnagRes checks Tock continuously and emails you when that changes.
What time can you actually get a table at Fu Hui Hua?
The open times recorded at Fu Hui Hua run from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and 5:00 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 best party size to book Fu Hui Hua?
Two and four book about equally at Fu Hui Hua in our data, 10% of the window open for two against 10% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
Is Fu Hui Hua open on Monday?
We have never recorded an open table at Fu Hui Hua on a Monday or a Tuesday or a Thursday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
What time do Fu Hui Hua tickets open?
Fu Hui Hua releases tickets the week before, at 10:00 AM. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. SnagRes also watches continuously, so cancellations arriving off-schedule are caught the same as scheduled drops.
How far ahead does Fu Hui Hua release tables?
Fu Hui Hua releases tickets the week before, at 10:00 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 Fu Hui Hua use?
Fu Hui Hua takes tickets on Tock. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. SnagRes watches Tock for Fu Hui Hua continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Why is it so hard to get into Fu Hui Hua?
Only 10% of Fu Hui Hua's 30-day booking window was bookable for two at the last check, and just 23% of the slots that open fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Most tables here surface as cancellations rather than fresh releases, which is why watching continuously beats refreshing at a fixed hour.
Can you walk in at Fu Hui Hua?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar count. With only 10% of the booking window open at the last check, Fu Hui Hua is not a dependable walk-in, and a reservation is the surer route. Some rooms keep a few bar or counter seats for walk-ins, so it is worth calling Fu Hui Hua to confirm; otherwise star it and let an alert catch a cancellation.
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 Tock, 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 Fu Hui Hua for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Fu Hui Hua and links you straight to Tock 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.
