//The line

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.
