When Fuku opened its original East Village counter, Dishel in Guide reported people 'lined up and down First Avenue' for the fried chicken sandwich, with waits running over an hour even on weekday lunches, as the shop became, in one early review's words, 'the It dish of the 2015 blogosphere' (Dishel in Guide).
The format is order-at-counter with a number called when food is ready, and Dishel in Guide notes the reviewer questioned whether the sandwich was 'necessarily worth an hour wait,' underscoring how central the queue was to the early Fuku experience (Dishel in Guide).
