Reservations at Umeko are widely described as hard to land on Resy, popular enough that TablePass lists it as a monitored/high-demand booking where members get better odds than booking solo, per TablePass's own listing for the restaurant.
For diners without a reservation, general coverage recommends arriving roughly 15-20 minutes before opening to try for a walk-in seat, since the room is small and the prix-fixe format (about $48/person per listings) limits turnover.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.

Yes, via Resy, though tables are reported as hard to secure — TablePass lists it as a high-demand booking it helps members land.
Walk-ins are possible but tight; arriving about 15-20 minutes before opening is the commonly cited strategy per general listings.
