How to Get a Reservation at Hayato in Los Angeles
Hayato, the two-Michelin-star kaiseki counter at Row DTLA, books on Tock as a prepaid seven-seat seating that sells out fast. Catching the release or a resale opening is the path.
The short answer
Hayato, chef Brandon Hayato Go's two-Michelin-star kaiseki room at Row DTLA, is among the hardest seats in Los Angeles. It is a roughly seven-seat counter with a single nightly seating, booked on Tock as a prepaid, ticketed experience that sells out quickly when it releases.
Because seats are prepaid, they are effectively non-refundable unless resold, which keeps no-shows rare. The realistic paths are catching the release at the exact moment or watching for resale-style openings on Tock as plans change. Confirm the current release schedule and pricing on the live listing.
How to book the counter
Seven seats, one seating, prepaid. This is the definition of a preparation game, and there is no walk-in fallback.
- Know the Tock release cadence and be ready at the exact minute it opens.
- Have your Tock account and payment saved before the window turns.
- Watch for resale-style openings in the days before a date.
- Verify pricing and cancellation terms on the live listing, since they shift.
