damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Laoma Malatang yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Yelp reviewers describe New World Mall's food court as 'teeming with people at all hours of the day,' and single out Laoma Malatang as drawing especially heavy traffic — one reviewer called it 'the most crowded restaurant in the food court' with 'the most variety of people waiting in line for food' (per Yelp, 214+ reviews/316 photos).
Because it is a self-serve, weigh-and-pay counter rather than table service, the crowding shows up as an ordering queue rather than a seating wait; reviewers note the surrounding food court has 'tons of tables but also always packed,' advising diners to move quickly to grab a table after ordering (per Yelp).
