Why this room is hard

It is not a Tock problem. It is a twelve-seat problem.

Sungchul Shim opened Mari on 10th Avenue in 2022 with a kimbap-anchored Korean tasting menu and earned a Michelin star the following year. The room is a twelve-seat counter, two seatings a night, four nights a week.

Tock opens in monthly drops at noon Eastern. Both seatings clear in the first ten minutes. The kitchen does not run a public waitlist and there is no à la carte room.

One star. Twelve seats. Two seatings.
The three rules

How we work this room.

Three commitments that apply to every Mari request, every night the kitchen is open. No fine print, no surcharges, no surprises at the door.
I

Pay when we get you in.

Your card is authorized when you submit the request. We charge it only when we confirm your table. No confirmation, no charge. Ever.

Authorize, do not capture
II

The host is expecting you.

You walk in to Mari and the table is yours, held for your party at your time.

Confirmed for your party
III

One posted price.

$675 for non-members. $225 for members. One number, every night, every party size. No auctions, no surge, no Friday markup. Whatever the room is doing, the price does not move.

No auctions. No surge.
What to expect

Five steps, start to seated.

01

You ask.

Tell us the night, the time window, the party size. Two minutes on this page. Card on file, not charged.

02

We confirm the request.

An operator reviews the request, checks the room, and sends a confirmation that we are working it. Usually within thirty minutes.

03

We work the room.

We reach the floor manager directly, by phone or by text, depending on the night. We do not refresh Resy. We make a call.

04

You are confirmed.

We charge the card and send your confirmation — the time and the name to give the host.

05

You eat.

Walk into Mari, give your name at the host stand, sit down. The room takes it from there. We do not see you again until the next request.
