What is the best way to book Kisa?

  1. Check what is open at Kisa 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 9:00 PM. 9:00 PM is the slot that opens most often at Kisa. The full range we see open runs 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
  3. 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 Kisa on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

Frequently asked questions about booking Kisa

How hard is it to get a reservation at Kisa?
At the last check, 53% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Kisa. About 20% of open slots land between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. SnagRes checks Resy continuously and emails you when that changes.
What time can you actually get a table at Kisa?
The open times recorded at Kisa run from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and 9:00 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 Kisa?
Two and four book about equally at Kisa in our data, 53% of the window open for two against 53% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
What time do Kisa reservations open?
Kisa releases reservations 15 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 Kisa release tables?
Kisa releases reservations 15 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 Kisa use?
Kisa 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 Kisa continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Can you walk in at Kisa?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Kisa. 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 Kisa 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 Kisa for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Kisa 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.
