//The line

Lululala occupies a compact storefront with only a handful of tables and stools, and Welcome to Chinatown reports the space fills up and lines stretch longer once initial seating is taken, especially after a viral video sent the shop's $7 fried chicken bowl around social media (Welcome to Chinatown).

The crowding is largely takeout-driven word-of-mouth rather than a formal queue system — TikTok posts crediting food creators for 'finding' the spot have repeatedly pushed walk-in demand past what the small dining area can hold (TikTok).
