It is not a Resy problem. It is a two-week window.
Pim Techamuanvivit opened Kin Khao in a Union Square hotel lobby and earned a Michelin star for a regional Thai menu that pulled from her family's recipes and Thailand's regional cooking. The dining room is small and the kitchen runs a tight format.
Resy opens two weeks ahead. Weekend prime tables clear first; weeknights and the late seatings stay open longer. The bar takes walk-ins when a seat opens.

How do I get a reservation at Kin Khao?
Name Kin Khao 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 Kin Khao so hard to book?
Kin Khao is one of the most in-demand tables in Union Square. 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 Kin Khao reservations open up?
Kin Khao 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 Kin Khao 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 Kin Khao.
