It is not a Tock problem. It is a three-month window.
Niki Nakayama runs n/naka out of a converted house in Palms, serving a thirteen-course modern kaiseki menu that earned two Michelin stars and a Chef's Table episode that doubled the demand. The room is twenty-six seats, two seatings a night, four nights a week.
Tock releases seats exactly three months ahead at noon Pacific. They are gone before lunch is over. The list of people who got the email before noon is a list it is hard to get on. The other list is a list of people who know how to talk to the front of house.

How do I get a reservation at N/Naka?
Name N/Naka 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 N/Naka so hard to book?
N/Naka is one of the most in-demand tables in Palms. 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 N/Naka reservations open up?
N/Naka 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 N/Naka 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 N/Naka.
