Osamil is described as very popular during meal times, with a Lemon8 review advising diners to 'remember to make a reservation' because the restaurant gets packed during dining hours (Lemon8, @sannamoon). Reporting elsewhere echoes that walk-in waits at the restaurant 'can be horrendous' (web search summary of restaurant listings).
Because demand outpaces walk-in capacity, the restaurant offers prepaid reservations for parties of six or more, and walk-in groups are told to expect difficulty getting a table without booking ahead (web search summary of restaurant listings).
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.

No exact wait time is reported, but multiple sources describe walk-in waits as severe during meal times, prompting recommendations to book ahead (Lemon8 @sannamoon; restaurant listing summaries).
Yes — reservations are available via Resy or phone, and prepaid reservations exist for parties of six or more given demand (restaurant listing summaries).
Walk-ins are possible but risky; without a reservation, groups should expect a long wait or difficulty getting seated during peak dining hours (Lemon8 @sannamoon; restaurant listing summaries).
