//The line

KIMMI is a 47-seat spot at the edge of Chinatown and the Lower East Side, and per Time Out New York, its small footprint means a reservation is highly recommended to guarantee a table. Seatings run 90 minutes each, and per the restaurant's own booking terms, reserved tables are held for a 15-minute grace period before being released.

Beli named KIMMI #5 on its December 2025 'Top 5 Rated New NYC Restaurants' recap, reflecting strong early demand for the 100%-gluten-free concept. Walk-ins are accepted according to Time Out, but with limited seats and timed 90-minute turns, availability without a reservation can be tight during peak dinner hours.
