Resy's blog featured RAON on its May 2025 NYC Hit List, describing it as 'another way to explore Korean cuisine in the city' via a 10-course tasting menu centered entirely on kimchi, from jang kimchi with fresh uni gimbap to aged mukeunji jang with foie gras mandu. The Hit List placement signals editorial demand-tracking rather than a random review, positioning RAON among the restaurants Resy's team flagged as worth booking that month.
RAON's own Resy page confirms reservations are required and released two weeks out at midnight, a common structure for tables that fill quickly, though no outlet has published explicit sellout or wait-time data. As a $255-per-person tasting menu with limited nightly seatings (Tuesday–Saturday, two seating times per night), demand is inherently capped by seat count rather than walk-in queueing.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.

Yes — RAON requires reservations through Resy, with new dates opening two weeks ahead at midnight.
Walk-in seating was not confirmed; given the $255 tasting-menu format and limited nightly seatings, reservations are effectively required.
