Why this room is hard

It is not a Tock problem. It is a eight-seat problem.

Brandon Go opened Hayato in the Arts District in 2018 and earned a Michelin star for a Kyo-style kaiseki menu. The room is an eight-seat counter; one seating a night; the menu changes with the seasons.

Tock opens in monthly drops. The room is eight seats and the drop is gone within minutes. There is no second counter and no bar option.

One star. Eight seats. Monthly drop.

Questions

Hayato, the FAQ.

How do I get a reservation at Hayato?

Name Hayato and the night you want. We book it on your account the instant a table opens or a cancellation appears, and you only pay if we actually get it.

Why is Hayato so hard to book?

Hayato is one of the most in-demand tables in Arts District. Prime-time seats are claimed within seconds of release, and many never reach the public at all, so refreshing on your own rarely works.

When do Hayato reservations open up?

Hayato releases tables on a set schedule, and seats also reappear when other guests cancel. We watch both around the clock and move the instant one opens, so you never have to refresh at midnight.

How much does it cost to book Hayato through The Elusive List?

One flat fee, charged only when we confirm your table. No table, no charge. Sign in to see the exact fee for Hayato.
