Reservation
This is a CatchTable waiting list for eating in, not a reservation. DiningCode reviews include one that registered on the device at the door or queued remotely in the CatchTable app, and another that thought remote queueing did not work. For takeaway you just join the line in the shop. Whether a foreign phone number can register is unconfirmed.
Waiting
Register on the device at the door or in the CatchTable app. A DiningCode review gives about 30 minutes after registering on site; a blog posted on 5 October 2026 about a Chuseok-holiday visit had a takeaway wait under 10 minutes and a dine-in wait of about two hours.
