//The line

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.
