How hard is it to get a table at Mister Jiu's?
21% of the open slots recorded at Mister Jiu's fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM, out of 9,086 observed, so prime time genuinely does surface here.
The times we see open run from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 9:00 PM.
We have never once seen a Sunday or a Monday come open, which usually means Mister Jiu's is closed then rather than simply full.
Tuesdays are the softest night on this calendar, open 79% of the times we checked, against 67% on Saturdays. Moving your plan by one weekday is often worth more than moving it by a month.
A party of four is measurably easier here: 60% of the window was bookable at that size against 50% at the other.
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 should you know before booking Mister Jiu's?
- The restaurant's reservations page books through Tock, not Resy, and it does not take bookings by phone or email. (misterjius.com)
- Booking takes a deposit of $25 per guest for a la carte or $50 per guest for the banquet menu, credited to the bill and refundable up to 24 hours out. (misterjius.com)
- Parties of 6 to 8 book the banquet menu at $125 per guest, and the Peking duck must be pre-ordered on Tock when you reserve. (misterjius.com)
What is the best way to book Mister Jiu's?
- Check what is open at Mister Jiu's 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.
- Aim at a Tuesday. Tuesdays are the softest night on Mister Jiu's's calendar in our data, open 79% of the times we checked, against 67% on Saturdays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.
- Widen your time to include 9:00 PM. 9:00 PM is the slot that opens most often at Mister Jiu's. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
- Try a party of four. Party size changes the answer here more than people expect: 60% of the window was bookable for four against 50% at the other size.
- 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 Mister Jiu's on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Tock.

- What is the best party size to book Mister Jiu's?
- A party of four is measurably easier at Mister Jiu's: 60% of the window was bookable at that size against 50% at the other. Tables for two are usually the most contested inventory, so trying an adjacent size often beats trying an adjacent night.
- Is Mister Jiu's open on Sunday?
- We have never recorded an open table at Mister Jiu's on a Sunday or a Monday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
- What time do Mister Jiu's tickets open?
- Mister Jiu's releases tickets 30 days ahead, 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 rechecks throughout the day for cancellations and off-schedule drops.
- How far ahead does Mister Jiu's release tables?
- Mister Jiu's releases tickets 30 days ahead, 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 Mister Jiu's use?
- Mister Jiu's 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 rechecks Tock for Mister Jiu's throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
- Can you walk in at Mister Jiu's?
- SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Mister Jiu'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 Mister Jiu'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 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 Mister Jiu's for me?
- No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Mister Jiu's 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.
