Okdongsik is a Korean restaurant in NoMad with a dedicated following, and its small dining room means demand regularly outstrips available seating. Reviewers and its own reservation policy point to a restaurant that fills up fast for both lunch and dinner service.
Practically, the restaurant reserves only a handful of seats for walk-ins (reportedly around 3), and stops taking walk-ins about an hour before closing — so reservations are the reliable way in, and last-minute walk-ins should expect to wait or be turned away, especially during peak lunch and dinner windows.

Yes, reservations are highly recommended for both lunch and dinner service. You can call ahead to book — walk-in seating is limited to just a few tables.
Walk-ins are accepted, but reports indicate the restaurant holds only about 3 seats for walk-in guests, and walk-ins are cut off roughly an hour before closing, so arriving without a reservation carries real risk of a wait or no seating.
Reported hours are lunch from 11:30am–2:30pm daily, with dinner from 5:00–9:00pm Sunday through Wednesday and 5:00–10:00pm Thursday through Saturday. Always double-check directly since hours can change.
