damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Chuko yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Chuko runs a strict no-reservations, first-come first-served policy, per the restaurant's own posted waitlist policy at chukobk.com/reservations. Diners routinely queue out the door for a table, especially at dinner, according to reviewer accounts surfaced in web search results.
Wait times can run substantial during peak hours, with at least one diner reporting roughly a 45-minute wait once on the list, per search-aggregated reviews. Arriving during off-peak windows, like early weekday dinner, is the commonly cited way to shorten the wait.
