damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Hanco's yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Yelp reviewers of the 7th Avenue location describe a line just to place a banh mi order, followed by a further wait for the food itself, calling the wait "loooong" at peak times. A Foursquare tip on the shop's page echoes the same description almost word for word: "The wait here can be loooong. So if there are a lot of people standing around, be prepared to wait a while after placing your order" — indicating the queue forms twice, once to order and once for food, when the small space fills up.
Hanco's runs as pure counter service with no table reservations. Per the restaurant's official site (hancos.com), the South Slope shop at 354 7th Avenue is open 11am–9pm daily with online ordering offered as an alternative route in. A review of the location on ZipPicks describes weekday lunch as typically wait-free with prompt counter service, and pins the busier stretches to evening delivery-order surges rather than a steady all-day line.
