Can never book a table at Na Oh? Try now

The Korean restaurant is adding more slots at dinner time, to make it easier to secure a booking
A table at Korean restaurant Na Oh is now easier to get. The chef behind one of Singapore's hardest restaurants to book, Corey Lee of three-Michelin-starred Benu in San Francisco, is adding more slots at dinner time.
The 40-seat restaurant at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore in Jurong West—a partnership between the chef and the South Korean car manufacturer—opened in June. It offers fine Korean food at $78++ a person.
The concept and quality of the food must have resonated with diners here. Its reservation website was soon inundated, and the elegant restaurant housed within a factory became a hot ticket in what has been a tough year for restaurants in Singapore.
Chef Lee, 47, who is in Singapore for the launch of the restaurant's winter menu, tells The Straits Times: "When we talked about opening this, we never anticipated it being this hard-to-book place. We didn't want to be that. We wanted to be something that's very approachable.
