//The line

Think!Chinatown's guide describes 46 Mott as an 'old-school shop' where customers 'squeeze into the shop and join the fast moving line' for tofu pudding, soy milk, mung bean congee, and zongzi made fresh daily (thinkchinatown.org/howto). The framing emphasizes a tight, popular space rather than a slow-moving queue.

The same source notes the line moves quickly despite the cramped space, and much of the offering is available for takeout, suggesting fast counter-service turnover rather than a sit-down wait.
