It is not a Resy problem. There is no Resy.
Masa Takayama serves about twenty-six seats a night at a fee that starts where most tasting menus end. The room is intentionally small, intentionally quiet, and intentionally not on any reservation platform. There are two seatings. They are full.
The only path in is a phone call to the host stand, and the people who get through are the people who already know to call. The kitchen also runs Bar Masa next door, which is the same hands, a different menu, and a meaningfully easier room to reach if Masa proper is what you cannot get.

No auctions. No surge.Masa, the FAQ.
How do I get a reservation at Masa?
Name Masa 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 Masa so hard to book?
Masa is one of the most in-demand tables in Columbus Circle. 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 Masa reservations open up?
Masa 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 Masa 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 Masa.
