When do Kumiko Room reservations open?

Very toughSchedule not publishedResy

Kumiko Room is a 14-seat omakase counter in Midtown. Resy lists it. Neither Resy nor the site prints a release time.

Kumiko Room doesn't publish a release schedule, and we haven't confirmed one. The reliable way in is an alert that watches for new dates and cancellations.

Note
Edomae counter from Yoshihiko Kousaka at 135 West 42nd Street, the same building as One Bryant Park, and a separate reservation. Resy’s new-openings note updated October 21, 2026 says it is a 14-seat counter. The restaurant site, checked October 26, 2026, gives the address and does not print hours, a booking link, or a release window, so the Resy URL is left blank rather than guessed.

Plan the night

Ask the concierge for a full evening built around Kumiko Room, with a backup if the drop goes fast.
