The shop has no indoor tables, so per Yelp reviewers the line and the eating both happen on the sidewalk, with customers standing outside for their onigirazu orders. One Yelp reviewer specifically reported six customers ahead of them and a quoted 20-minute wait, describing the line as looking long but moving quickly.
Because everything is made to order, Yelp reviewers note waits vary and can stretch during busy hours or weekends, though most say the wait is worth it for the food quality. Ordering ahead online for pickup is an option to reduce time standing outside, per Yelp.
