Mokbar's Chelsea Market counter is designed around the expectation of a line: founder Esther Choi has said 'you will never wait more than 20 minutes, even if we have a line,' per the restaurant's own site (mokbar.com). Choi built the concept as a reaction to ramen's citywide popularity, where 'people have to wait two hours for it' at sit-down shops.
The stall runs takeout-only, with pickup typically taking 'two or three minutes' once an order is placed, according to mokbar.com — meaning the visible queue moves faster than its length suggests, modeled on how ramen is served as grab-and-go food in Asia.
