TABLEALL is an online booking service for high-end
restaurants in Japan. Mainly due to language issues,
most high-end restaurants in Japan need to be booked
through hotel concierge desks, which can be cumbersome
and often last minute as these restaurants tend to be
fully booked several months in advance.
TABLEALL
solves these issues by allowing you to make these
bookings on your own with a few simple clicks.
There are two types of bookings available on TABLEALL:
1. Instant Booking (Inventory-Based)
We purchase a limited number of seats in advance from
select restaurants and list them on our site.
When you book these seats, you are guaranteed a
These seats are available for immediate purchase, just like buying a ticket.
Approximately 20% of our bookings are made this way.
2. Request Booking
If no seats are available for instant booking,
you can still submit a booking request.
Simply go to the restaurant’s page, click on the calendar,
and send us your request.
We will then work directly with the restaurant to try to secure your reservation.
• Priority Access
While our booking fee may not be the lowest,
it reflects the exceptional access we provide.
Thanks to our strong relationships with Japan’s most sought-after restaurants,
we are often allocated seats before reservations open to the public.
In some cases, we receive seats reserved exclusively for regulars—seats
that are never listed on any other platform.
Restaurants trust us because we strictly uphold their cancellation policies,
allowing them to offer us seats with confidence.
• We Handle Everything
Every restaurant has its own unique booking rules—and navigating them all can be confusing and time-consuming,
especially with time zone differences.
Some booking windows open in the middle of the night or during work hours.
We take care of the entire process for you.
In fact, many restaurants give us early access to reservations,
so you won’t need to monitor opening times or memorize policies.
A unique and memorable dining experience, TABLEALL
carefully selects restaurants certain to please our
valued members. We dine at all of them as regular
customers before embarking on contract negotiations to
satisfy ourselves of the highest quality. Quality at
TABLEALL is not simply about flavors or ambience; it’s
also about the chef’s skill and personality,
craftsmanship, artisan ingredients, tableware, interior,
exterior, service and hospitality.
All our
restaurants have limited seating enabling the chefs to
give each guest the best possible experience. Some chefs
have Michelin stars or major restaurant awards. But
that’s not our starting criteria. The key is whether the
restaurant is loved by local epicureans.
Our
high-end restaurants are booked months in advance by
discerning Japanese foodies, but TABLEALL opens the door
to new places offering the chance for foreign guests to
share in this passion for Japanese culinary arts. That
is our mission and we look forward to making your next
stay in Japan a deliciously memorable one.
You can change the date and time of your reservation if you contact us more than 14 days in advance.
The first change is free of charge. From the second change onward, a modification fee of JPY 8,000 per person will be charged.
Unfortunately, restaurant changes are not allowed.
If you wish to dine at a different restaurant, please cancel the current reservation and submit a new request.
No, your card will not be charged at the time of request submission. We only place an authorization hold.
Some credit card apps may display it as a charge, but it is not an actual transaction.
Only when the reservation is confirmed will the authorized amount be charged.
If no reservation is made, the authorization will be canceled and the hold will be released within 72 hours.
Yes, absolutely. You can select multiple candidate dates when sending your request. This flexibility helps us find the best available option for you.
No, we will not book two restaurants at the same time on the same day.
For example, if you request Restaurant A for May 1–5 and Restaurant B for the same dates,
we will book them on separate days or at different times (e.g., one for lunch, one for dinner) to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Here are some tips to improve your chances, especially for high-demand restaurants:
• Submit your request as early as possible
• Provide multiple candidate dates
• Maintain a good booking history with us
• Be flexible with lunch or dinner options
• Positive feedback from restaurants also increases future priority
In general, the more flexible and early you are, the better your chances.
In the event of a cancellation after payment, some credit card issuers may apply exchange rate differences.
We are not responsible for these currency fluctuations.
No exchange loss occurs during the authorization stage.
We do not offer gift certificates, but you may book a reservation on someone’s behalf as a gift.
Since the course fee is prepaid, the recipient only needs to pay for drinks at the restaurant.
It depends on the restaurant. Some may allow it with a corkage fee. Please inquire in advance. Do not bring drinks without permission.
Each restaurant has different policies. You may submit a request well in advance,
but availability depends on the restaurant—some accept bookings up to 1 month ahead, others 3 months.
We will inform you by email when the restaurant starts accepting reservations.
You do not need to resend your request.
Yes, we can book for one person as long as the restaurant accepts it. Most of the restaurants accept one person booking. Please send us a reservation request.
Yes, if the restaurant is opened for lunch, we can contact the restaurant for booking. Please send us a reservation request.
No. We can only book for our partner restaurants. We would like to hear your restaurant "wish list" for our future partnerships. Please email us.
Each restaurant’s child policy is listed on our site.
Generally, restaurants fall into one of three categories:
1. No children allowed,
2. Children allowed in private rooms, or
3. Children allowed at the counter if they can eat the course.
Yes, when submitting a request, please include whether you are bringing a child and their age.
You can note any dietary restrictions in your request.
Please be as specific as possible.
For example, instead of just saying "shellfish," clarify whether this includes clams, squid, or octopus.
If you're vegetarian, let us know whether you can consume broths made from fish or meat.
We usually respond within 24 hours, but weekends or restaurant closures may cause delays.
Unless canceled, we will continue trying to secure your reservation.
If your plans change, please cancel your request immediately.
Some restaurants may allow private bookings. Please contact us at info@tableall.com.
The price includes a full course menu charge, service charge, tax and handling fee. The offered full course is usually the best available course at most of the restaurants.

–
No-Show: Please make sure you cancel your booking via
the system. If you don’t cancel and do NOT Show, we will

restaurants require a minimum “business casual” dress
code. Please avoid sandals, shorts and sleeveless tops
for male members.

However, we do send cancellation alerts for highly requested restaurants via email and Instagram,
especially to users who have sent requests and appear to be in the area on that date.
It is often difficult to find good English information on restaurants in Japan. TABLEALL provides in-depth interviews and photo shoots by professionals to introduce the restaurants to you. You will have a glimpse of the chef, tableware, interior and exterior of the restaurants. We hope they make you excited before your visit!
We provide an option to write a message to the chef
after your visit.
You can comment on your
experience as well as provide personal preference of the
food to the chef. These messages will only be delivered
to the chef and the restaurants and will NOT be shared
with anyone else.
We have this system to enable
restaurants to provide foreign guests the same level of
service as Japanese guests, something that is not always
easy due to language barriers. Your preferences will be
remembered, and you will be treated as a regular
customer at your next visit.
TABLEALL would like to become a bridge between members
and restaurants by providing a system to send direct
messages to chefs rather than general reviews.
The
chefs would like to treat you better at your next visit
from your direct feedback rather than something general.
We
think this system is more meaningful to restaurants and
chefs to provide a better experience for our members.
