An eight-seat, three-seatings-a-night omakase counter in the former Scarr's Pizza space on the Lower East Side, known for a tightly rationed 17-course tasting menu.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Sushi Oku yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Sushi Oku's Resy listing shows the counter seats just eight guests across three seatings a night, and the full 17-course omakase is released 21 days in advance at 10am, according to Resy (resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/venues/sushi-oku). With that few seats per seating, tables for prime slots are gone quickly once the 21-day window opens.
There is no walk-in line at the door in the traditional sense; per Resy, access is gated entirely by the timed online release rather than same-day standby, making the booking window itself the effective 'line' for this counter.

Walk-ins are not the norm given the small eight-seat counter; Resy's listing centers booking around the timed 21-day release rather than same-day availability.
