No camera at Okiboru House of Tsukemen yet — these are the closest live lines we cover.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Okiboru House of Tsukemen yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
According to The Infatuation, Okiboru is popular enough that "if you see a line of people on the sidewalk around Orchard and Delancey, it's probably for Okiboru," with Friday dinner lines running roughly 10 parties deep and 30-45 minute waits.
The Infatuation notes the line moves fast because the counter seats only about 20 and ordering is done entirely on a phone, so diners typically get food "minutes after" being seated - the wait is mostly about getting a seat, not slow service.
