//The line

The Infatuation's Midtown guide reports 'wait times for their Hainanese chicken rice can approach an hour,' driven by demand for the poached, roasted, or fried chicken and gingery rice within the busy Urban Hawker food hall, per The Infatuation.

The same guide notes the stall 'sometimes run[s] out long before closing,' meaning the line risk is compounded by scarcity as much as by queue length, per The Infatuation.
