What is the best way to book Omakase Shoji & Izakaya?

  1. Check what is open at Omakase Shoji & Izakaya 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 Omakase Shoji & Izakaya. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 11:30 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 Omakase Shoji & Izakaya on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

The open times recorded at Omakase Shoji & Izakaya run from 5:00 PM to 11:30 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.

Two and four sit close together at Omakase Shoji & Izakaya in our data, 84% of the window open for two against 84% for four, a gap too small to plan around, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
Is Omakase Shoji & Izakaya open on Monday?
We have never recorded an open table at Omakase Shoji & Izakaya on a Monday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
What time do Omakase Shoji & Izakaya reservations open?
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. We have not yet measured a fixed drop time for Omakase Shoji & Izakaya, so we do not claim one. SnagRes rechecks it throughout the day for cancellations and off-schedule drops.
How far ahead does Omakase Shoji & Izakaya release tables?
The furthest-out date we have seen bookable at Omakase Shoji & Izakaya was 31 days ahead, so its window runs roughly that far. New dates land at the far edge and cancellations surface in between, which is why watching beats checking once.
Which booking platform does Omakase Shoji & Izakaya use?
Omakase Shoji & Izakaya 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 Omakase Shoji & Izakaya throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
Can you walk in at Omakase Shoji & Izakaya?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Omakase Shoji & Izakaya. 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 Omakase Shoji & Izakaya 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 Omakase Shoji & Izakaya for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Omakase Shoji & Izakaya 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.
