Getting a reservation at Nogari in Midtown is like scoring the last seat at a sold-out concert. The spot's fresh take on Korean cuisine has foodies buzzing, earning it a stellar 4.8-star rating on Resy. Here’s your no-nonsense guide to landing a table.


How Reservations Work at Nogari

The first thing to know about Nogari is its exclusivity on Resy. Being featured as New on Resy doesn't just sound cool—it means competition for reservations is fierce. Here’s how to play the game.

When to Book

Reservation slots drop at midnight EST. Set your alarm and be ready to pounce, or better yet, let tech handle it for you. Use Reservation Wrangler to monitor and secure your table as soon as it becomes available.

Best Times and Party Size

Aim for midweek reservations. You’ll find less competition compared to weekends. Also, Nogari is more likely to have tables for smaller parties (two or four). If you’re planning a big group outing, consider breaking into smaller groups.

The Bar and Walk-In Strategy

Feeling spontaneous? Nogari's bar area offers limited walk-in seating. Arrive early, preferably around 5:30 PM, to beat the crowds. The bartenders are friendly, and you can enjoy a full dinner at the bar.

Pro Tip: Walk-ins are easier on weekdays—perfect for a post-work treat.

Cancellation Timing

Monitor Resy for last-minute cancellations. Tables often pop back up in the early afternoon, especially for weeknight slots. Use Reservation Wrangler to snag these elusive openings immediately.
