//The line

Coverage of the Jackson Heights momo crawl notes that at this truck, parked near the 7 train stop, "each batch is steamed to order, so you might have to wait a few minutes" (qns.com). The wait is framed as part of the experience rather than a deterrent, tied to the truck's made-to-order steaming process rather than sustained crowding.

Gothamist has separately profiled the truck (run by former monk Pema Sherap) as a standout in the neighborhood's competitive momo landscape, including a first-place finish in a local momo competition, which points to demand beyond a single quick order (Gothamist).
