Joo Ok earned Two Michelin Stars in the 2025 Guide within about a year of its September 2024 Manhattan debut, according to Michelin's own 'All the Stars in the Michelin Guide to New York City 2025' article, which describes the 16th-floor dining room's Manhattan skyline views. That kind of rapid two-star ascent typically compresses booking windows sharply.
Per the Michelin Guide's restaurant profile, reservations are released on Resy on the 1st and 15th of each month at noon for the following two weeks, with a non-refundable $200-per-guest deposit required at booking — a structure built specifically to manage high demand for limited seats.
