A Chinatown Cantonese roast-meats spot The Infatuation calls "crowded every night."
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Uncle Lou yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
The Infatuation's Chinese food guide describes Uncle Lou plainly: "it's crowded every night. That's because Uncle Lou does so many things well," pointing to consistent, sustained demand rather than a one-off rush.
The guide notes reservations are possible for larger groups - "you can make a reservation for parties of six or more" - implying smaller parties are expected to wait or walk in, though The Infatuation doesn't quantify typical wait times.
