Mott Street Eatery runs first-come, first-served counter service, and per Zippicks weekend visits bring waits of roughly 10-20 minutes with the counter getting packed; solo diners typically clear the line faster than groups, per Zippicks.

Eater NY's dim sum coverage notes the spot gets especially slammed during neighborhood events like the Lunar New Year parade, when Chinatown foot traffic spikes. Zippicks recommends a late-afternoon visit for a quieter pickup window.
