Benu reservations: how to actually get a table

$$$$ ★ 4.7 · 469 reviews Books on Tock

Why Benu is hard to book

Like most of the hardest tables in San Francisco, Benu releases reservations in a fixed window — and the window sells through fast. After that, the book is effectively closed: the only seats that come back are cancellations, and they return to the booking calendar with no announcement, at any hour, and are gone in minutes. Refreshing the page by hand is how most people miss them.

How the watch works for Benu

Tables at Benu are released on Tock and cancellations vanish in minutes. Join the watch — we're rolling out city by city. San Francisco is on our restaurant rollout list: members on the watch are first in line as scanning switches on, and the moment coverage is live here, a cancelled table that matches your party size and dates triggers a text with a direct link to book it. You always book it yourself, in your own account, at the normal price — we never book, hold, or resell tables.
