The Woks of Life's Manhattan Chinatown guide describes neighboring Wah Fung Fast Food as having a genuine line problem: 'the word is out on this place, so there might be a long line; get there early.' New Kim Tuong sits directly next door on Chrystie Street offering similar Cantonese roast meats.
The guide explicitly recommends New Kim Tuong as the fallback 'if the line at Wah Fung is too long,' establishing it as a steady, locally-relied-on alternative rather than a line destination in its own right. There's no reporting of a wait at New Kim Tuong itself — its value is precisely that it doesn't have one.
